Playing with Fire

-

As this comes from the author who gifted us Sherlock Holmes, you know this is going to be good. Made up of 13 intriguing short stories, ranging from the supernatur­al to the downright outlandish, this is a further insight into the wonderful imaginatio­n of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. A favourite of mine is his tale, The Parasite. It is an eerie story of a young scientist whose interest in mesmerism/hypnosis brings him to the door of a woman who begins using her powers to control him like a puppeteer.
