Reviews

[Ben Meek · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great collection. 80% of the stories in this are highly worthwhile.

[Thomas Fortenberry · Rating 3 out of 5]

Massive collection of thrilling short stories from dozens of great authors, including but not limited to Arthur Conan Doyle (as the mistaken listing implies). If you want to read Poe, Burroughs, Ian Fleming, Jack london, Joseph Conrad, Lawrence block, de Balzac, Harry Turtledove, Anne McCaffrey, etc., all under one cover, this is the place. Pure fun.
