Características

Writers never really die; their stories live on, to be found again, to be told again, to scare again.In Victorian London, a select group of writers, led by Arthur Conan Doyle, Bram Stoker and Henry James held an informal dining club, the price of entry to which was the telling of a story by each invited guest.These are their stories, containing tales of revenant loved ones, lost cities, weird science, spectral appearances and mysteries in the fog of the old city, all told by some of the foremost writers of the day. In here you'll find Verne and Wells, Tolstoy and Checkov, Stevenson and Oliphant, Kipling, Twain, Haggard and Blavatsky alongside their hosts.Come, join us for dinner and a story:Robert Louis Stevenson - Wee Davie Makes a FriendRudyard Kipling - The High BungalowLeo Tolstoy - The Immortal MemoryBram Stoker - The House of the DeadMark Twain - Once a JackassHerbert George Wells - FarsideMargaret Oliphant - To the Manor BornOscar Wilde - The Angry GhostHenry Rider Haggard - The Black ZigguratHelena P Blavatsky - Born of EtherHenry James - The Scrimshaw SetAnton Checkov - At the Molenzki JunctionJules Verne - To the Moon and BeyondArthur Conan Doyle - The Curious Affair on the EmbankmentProudly represented by Crystal Lake Publishing—Tales from the Darkest Depths.
