From the Queen of crime, the first time all of her spookiest and most macabre stories have been collected in one volume. ‘From behind the curtains there still sounded the terrible high long-drawn scream – such a scream as Raoul had never heard. It died away with a horrible kind of gurgle. Then there came the thud of a body falling…’ for lovers of the supernatural and the macabre comes this collection of ghostly and chilling tales from Agatha Christie. Acknowledged the world over as the undisputed queen of crime, in fact she dabbled in her early writing career with mysteries of a more unearthly kind – stories featuring fantastic psychic visions, spectres looming in the shadows, encounters with deities, eerie messages from the other side, even a man who switches bodies with a cat… this haunting compendium gathers together all of Christian spookiest and most macabre short stories, some featuring her timeless detectives Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple. Finally together in one volume, it shines a light on the darker side of Agatha Christie, one that she herself relished, identifying ten of them as ‘My own favourite stories written soon after the mysterious affair at styles, some before that’. contains 20 stories: the last séance in a glass darkly the adventure of the Egyptian tomb SOS the fourth man The idol house of astarte the Gipsy philomel cottage the dream the lamp wireless the mystery of the Blue jar the Blue geranium the wife of the kenite the strange case of Sir Arthur Carmichael the call of wings the Red signal the flock of geryon the Dressmaker’s doll the hound of death.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Born in Torquay in 1890, Agatha Christie began writing during the First World War and wrote over 100 novels, plays and short story collections. She was still writing to great acclaim until her death, and her books have now sold over a billion copies in English and another billion in over 100 foreign languages. Yet Agatha Christie was always a very private person, and though Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple became household names, the Queen of Crime was a complete enigma to all but her closest friends.

More of mystery and less of supernatural

Reviewed in India 🇮🇳 on 9 January 2020

From ‘The Queen of Suspense’ comes another collection of spooky and eerie tales of mystery, set in the most sinister settings. Agatha Christie’s ‘The Last Séance’ is a collection of 20 short stories, each of them a blend of supernatural and mystery. Some of the stories even feature Christie’s popular fictional creations like Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple.

While some stories with a supernatural setting seemed bizarre to me, the ones starring Poirot, Miss Marple or the stories about murder mysteries were astounding. Considering the fact that not all stories were brilliantly executed, and a major portion of the book consisted of very average stories, my rating will be average.

Fabulous collection of short stories

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 23 December 2019

Verified Purchase

If you enjoy tales of mystery with a psychological twist, then this collection is sure to please – 5 Stars

This is an excellent collection of short stories that have a connection to the occult or psychological themes. All are designed to both disconcert and discombobulate the reader…pleasingly, they do this rather well. Some feature well-known characters (Marple and Poirot), some have been adapted for television over the years, while others clearly form the basis for some of the full-length novels, but most Christie fans should find some they are less familiar with.

The tales span several decades of Christie’s writing career, and although not presented in chronological order, it is interesting to see how she adapts her writing to social change. In particular, there is a noticeable change in the way she depicts women within these stories, reflecting a (later) determination to show females as both inventive and intelligent. It’s also possible to identify when supernatural phenomena provided a regular form of entertainment, and when this trend was beginning to be replaced by a more general interest in the criminal mind. And, it’s clear from many of the stories that increased access to transport played an important role in widening plot possibilities for Christie too.

An excellent collection that I’d be happy to recommend to anyone who enjoys short stories that come with a generous helping of mystery.

Super...... Naturally

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 28 November 2022

Verified Purchase

Well, we all know the Queen of Crime is excellent at mystery and murder, but this volume proves she was also quite adept at stories of the supernatural as well.
There's a few stories here which feature her familiar characters of Poirot and Marple, but by and large they bring a new cast of characters to each story.
Written when these stories were, they harken back to times which seem unfamiliar to us now, but are still recognisable.
On the whole, a great selection of short stories, mostly away from her normal genre - proving that she could turn her hand to almost anything.

Fairly entertaining

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 13 December 2021

Verified Purchase

I don't want to damn this book with faint praise but, apart from the last two stories, the collection was only fairly entertaining. I downloaded it with a mixture of interest and expectation but neither was rewarded. Some stories could have been developed further while others seemed ordinary to me. I have to say that I didn't read the Poirot stories because I find that genre irritating. I have read better.

Love Agatha's spooky stories?

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 16 January 2020

Verified Purchase

Then you'll love this. I already have these stories on several Christie CD collections with various readers, Christopher Lee, as you would expect, is especially good on the 'Witness for the Prosecution' anthology, however it's nice to have all these short stories in one collection for those dark winter evenings, plus I was attracted by the warm soothing voice of this reader, Fenella Woolgar (who played Agatha in an intriguing Dr Who episode). If you're a fan you'll know not to expect to be chilled to the marrow by Agatha's tales but simply to experience a 'frisson' of delight. Enjoy!

Don’t pass it over

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 28 October 2019

Verified Purchase

One or two stories I had read previously, and the first story was easy to figure out, but other than that it was hugely enjoyable. Very atmospheric at times .. The strange case of Sir Arthur Carmichael . And at times even a little sad and redemptive.. The Call of Wings . I have read many in both Christie’s and the ghost genre .M.r James etc . And I conclude it was a entertaining book , Go on try it ! U know u want to 🙂
