Synopsis So the title is a bit misleading...Really this is a collection of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's paranormal tales, some which do feature blood-sucking creatures of the night. Others, like "The Ring of Thoth," dredge up scary mummies or other frights. But this is still an interesting collection highlighting a different side of the writer best known for his beloved detective Sherlock Holmes.
