After Dark
About this book
The catalogue's date is wrong: *After Dark* is an 1856 collection of short stories by Wilkie Collins, framed as tales an artist's wife records from his sitters while he recovers his eyesight. It suits readers interested in Victorian mystery and the early short fiction of the author of *The Woman in White*.
Wilkie Collins
William Wilkie Collins was an English novelist and playwright known especially for The Woman in White (1860), a mystery novel and early sensation novel, and for The Moonstone (1868), which established many of the ground rules of the modern detective novel and is also perhaps the earliest clear example of the police procedural genre.
