Charles Dickens was a master of the macabre. His stories of madness, murder and revenge, often imbued with a sympathetic moral undertone, have continued to thrill and chill fans ever since they were written. Here then are 15 tales that display the full range of Dickens' Gothic talents. "The Signalman," perhaps the most well-known, is a chilling story about a mysterious figure and its deathly omen. "The Haunted Man and the Ghost's Bargain" shows the consequences for those who make deals with the dead. Listen for more.

Though best known for his classic novel of Edwardian childhood The Go-Between, L. P. Hartley was also a master of supernatural and macabre fiction, the best of which is collected in The Travelling Grave and Other Stories.

Originally published in 1948 and long out of print, this collection features 12 of Hartley's best tales.

Mystery, Crime, Horror & the Supernatural: Great!
If you could sum up The Darker Side Of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle - Volume 1 in three words, what would they be?
Intriguing, exciting, disturbing.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Mr. Marshall King, the hero of The Brazilian Cat
What about Phil Reynolds’s performance did you like?
His usually understated tone makes it all the more effective when he does get excited.
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
5 Dark Tales by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
Any additional comments?
1) The Horror of the Heights (didn't like it)
2) The Lord of Chateau Noir (great plot twist)
3) The Nightmare Room (clever little story)
4) The Ring of Thoth (long but worth persevering).
5) The Brazilian Cat (best story of the set).
All written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Read by Phil Reynolds.
