"The Hound of Death and Other Stories" by Agatha Christie vintage hardback book Facsimile from 2014 of the original first edition published by Odhams in 1933.

Did you know Agatha Christie wrote Horror Stories as well as Romances? Well here is a collection of twelve of her original tales of mystery and the supernatural guaranteed to send the shivers down your spine. This fabulous facsimile first edition of this vintage Agatha Christie book comes to you in pristine condition. 

In this wonderful compilation of Agatha Christie's tales of horror and the supernatural we have a bizarre collection of thrilling short stories. Brace yourself for psychic nuns through to haunted wireless sets and many other equally fun hair raising tales!

This fabulous collection of Agatha's lesser known stories was first published by Odham's Press in 1933, a time when interest in the spiritual world was still at its peak following the wave of Psychics and Mediums that proliferated towards the end of the 19th century, supported by such famous authors as Arthur Conan Doyle who himself was a keen spiritualist. 

In this tradition the "The Last Seance" tells of a medium who comes to a sticky end and perhaps as a nod to Conan Doyle himself we have the familiarly titled "The Hound of Death".

A book not to be missed if you are a fan of Agatha's Detective novels featuring the famous characters such as Miss Marple and Poirot, this curious collection makes a welcome diversion. Settle down with your cocoa and prepare to be spooked.

A very attractive facsimile edition with the striking original dust jacket design. Wonderful decorative books that make a great Agatha Christie collection and display beautifully on your vintage bookshelf.

Kittys Reader Notes

"Mrs Agatha Christie, as the author of 'The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, Peril at End House etc., and the creator of the inimitable Poirot, has achieved international fame.

In The Hound of Death are assembled some of her finest stories of mystery, horror and the macabre. Each is a masterpiece of its kind -- startling, original and utterly unexpected."

The Agatha we all know and love and tend to associate as one with the spinsterish old maid 'Miss Marple' surprises us here with a quite thrilling collection of tales of horror and the supernatural.

There are Twelve stories in all comprising:

"The Hound of Death"
"The Red Signal"
"The Fourth Man"
"The Gipsy"
"The Lamp"
"Wireless"
"The Witness for the Prosecution"
"The Mystery of the Blue Jar"
"The Strange case of Sir Arthur Carmichael"
"The Call of Wings"
"The Last Seance"
"S.O.S"

Highly recommended!
