Viaggiatori del tempo, carnevali gotici, automi viventi... e investigatori. Sono i protagonisti delle storie create dallo straordinario talento narrativo di Ray Bradbury, che non si è rivelato solo nella fantascienza, ma anche nel fantastico, nell'horror, nel weird. E nel poliziesco. Lo dimostrano le venti storie raccolte in questo volume: impeccabili trame gialle, molte delle quali hanno ispirato episodi della serie Alfred Hitchcock presenta; tra queste, Il piccolo assassino, che Bradbury riteneva il suo miglior racconto in assoluto.

The story follows Holmes as he investigates a puzzling series of incidents where a man repeatedly smashes plaster busts of Napoleon, with no apparent motive beyond destruction. It was first published in Collier's in the US on April 30, 1904, and in The Strand Magazine in the UK in May 1904.

The return of the German agent Von Bork, somewhat changed, and a desperate hunt for a killer through the alleys of London with none other than Professor Van Helsing.

When two teenage boys befriend and escaped bank robber—because the robber reminds the boys of their idol, Robert Mitchum—the boys set in motion a chilling chain of events that will teach them about trust, brutality, and courage.
