Description
The theme of this Megapack is classic mystery and crime fiction from the Victorian era. We have taken the liberty of extending the qualifying publication dates to the end of World War I, since that event marked more of a turning point in world literature than the advent of the Edwardian Age. Certainly the spirit of Victorian crime fiction continued beyond Queen Victoria. This volume contains 25 stories and 2 bonus novels, offering hours of reading

Con el paso de los años, el cuento de miedo creó arquetipos y forjó un lenguaje narrativo común que desembocó en la auténtica edad de oro del género que fue el siglo XIX.
