Tales of Terror and Mystery

"Tales of Terror and Mystery" by Arthur Conan Doyle is a set of short stories from the late 1800s where scary and strange things happen. These stories look at what people are afraid of and what we don't know, mixing exciting suspense with scary themes. The collection starts with "The Horror of the Heights," a story about an aviator named Joyce-Armstrong, who is trying to fly higher than anyone else when he finds something terrifying. The story is told through Joyce-Armstrong's notes, which describe his scary experiences high in the air and show the hidden dangers in the sky. The anxiety grows as he plans for a dangerous flight to find out why other pilots have disappeared.
