From the Queen of Crime, all her most terrifying and macabre stories collected in one volume, including her first published story, 'The Wife of the Kenite,' which is exclusive to this collection.

For fans of the supernatural and the macabre, comes this collection of Agatha Christie's fantastic and chilling stories. Recognized worldwide as the undisputed Queen of Crime, in her early writing career, she experimented with more otherworldly mysteries – stories that include fantastic psychic visions, lurking shadows, encounters with deities, strange messages from the Other Side, even a man who swaps bodies with a cat…

This haunted collector's volume gathers all of Christie's most terrifying and macabre short stories, some of which feature her timeless detectives, Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple. Finally, together in one volume, it sheds light on the darker side of Agatha Christie, a side she herself enjoyed, acknowledging ten of them as ‘my favorite stories, written shortly after The Mysterious Affair at Styles, some before it’.
