Wilkie Collins Short Stories

Widely regarded as the father of the detective novel and psychological thriller, Wilkie Colllins was a Victorian master of suspense and intrigue. By fusing elements of Gothic horror with those of the crime novel, Collins created a new and sensational genre. These stories, which went on to inspire generations of writers, were also vehicles for social commentary, which Collins used to draw attention to the injustices of his time. The Dead Secret, The Moonstone, and The Woman in White are just a few of the many gems which make this a fitting companion to the other titles in our bestselling Gothic Fantasy series.
