A proposito di questo titolo

 In these modern days, when the ear may wander where once only the eye could travel, The Wilkie Collins Library invites you into chambers of secrecy, suspicion, and revelation. Here are presented, in their entirety, those narratives of shadow and sensation wherein innocence trembles, truth disguises itself, and justice waits patiently to be uncovered.

By the steady glow of the lamp and the turning of each successive page, voices long silent speak again of hidden identities, perilous inheritances, devoted hearts, and crimes most cunningly contrived. Each tale unfolds as it was first told: deliberate in its suspense, exact in its detail, and resolute in its pursuit of the extraordinary concealed within the ordinary.

Attend closely, dear listener. The mystery is never far from the threshold, and the next chapter is already at hand.Public domain
