Synopsis:
These four mysteries are from Doyle's last collection of Sherlock Holmes short stories, The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes (1927). The selections included are representative of a preoccupation with the grotesque that infuses the collective atmosphere of the Case-Book stories. The title story, "The Sussex Vampire," raises the specter of vampirism when a woman is caught in the act of sucking blood from her child's neck. Christopher Lee is a superb reader and not only brings his beautifully sonorous voice to these tales, but also a gravity of presence that solidly intrigues and grounds listeners.

Synopsis:
The Vampire is a novel based on the classic gothic play by Alexandre Dumas. Dumas, an ardent admirer of stories of the supernatural, published many of his own occult tales during his illustrious literary career. One of these was The Vampire, a play first performed in 1851. Dumas penned The Vampire with Auguste Maquet, who had also collaborated with Dumas on many of his most successful romances, including The Three Musketeers and The Count of Monte Cristo. The vampire in Dumas’s play is named Lord Ruthven after the most famous vampire in literature during the first half of the nineteenth century. In 1819, Dr. John William Polidori wrote the first vampire tale in English literature and named its title character, Lord Ruthven. After the success of the story, Lord Ruthven’s popularity spread throughout Europe and he became the subject of many plays and stories. Eventually, his notoriety diminished, and Count Dracula, another aristocratic vampire, took his place. Presented here is a novelization of Dumas’s classic version of the Ruthven legend, which has never been published in English, now available for a new generation of readers to discover.
