A strange and terrible visitant from outer Space rushes to the destruction of the earth.VAL GIELGUD. Hot Water. If there had been cold water in the bathroom, the Secret Service man would not have made his shattering, almost unbelievable discovery. The sordidness of espionage had suddenly become tragedy.L.P. HARTLEY. The Island. A house on an island in a storm at night is the appropriate setting for this tale of unexpected terror.NATHANIEL HAWTHORNE. Edward Randolph’s Portrait. No one knew what the picture on the wall of the Province House had once portrayed—it was so shrouded in the gloom of ages. But when the destiny of the city was at stake, a strange thing happened.

A flavour of The Arabian Nights adds glamour to this macabre story of the dead man and the casks of wine.PROSPER MÉRIMÉE. The Blue Room.

How a respectable young medical student became for one night a body-stealer, and what fears and horrors assailed him during his gruesome adventure in a moon-lit churchyard.STORIES OF CRIME AND DETECTIONANTHONY BERKELEY. The Avenging Chance. The murderer had covered his tracks so thinly—if only they had known where to look.

A brilliantly original narrative of the fight for a man’s innocence—with a double surprise at the end.G.D.H. and M. COLE. A Lesson in Crime. One of the popular crime novelist’s million readers obligingly demonstrated to him in the train how a perfect murder should be carried out. The author never used that plot.FREEMAN WILLS CROFTS. Mr. Pemberton’s Commission. Mr. Pemberton was not too staid to be interested in a pretty Parisienne on the boat-train. He was much too respectable, however, to dabble in jewel theft. But one thing leads to another.GILBERT FRANKAU. Who Killed Castelvetri? It seemed a straightforward case to the twelve good men and true—the crime passionnelle and self-defense.

Yet it did matter—very much indeed.JOHN RHODE. The Vanishing Diamond. How sixpence helped a diamond of incalculable value to disappear—and to be restored.DOROTHY L. SAYERS Bitter Almonds. Mr. Egg-A conscientious little commercial traveler, solves a murder mystery with the aid of his knowledge of liqueurs.EDGAR WALLACE. The Shadow Man. A million pounds had been stolen from the English banks by a gang whose genius was matched only by their ruthlessness.
