  • "The parasite is one of the great works on the theme of vampires, with a vampiric figure unlike the conventional image but which brings out the essential facet of vampiric literature: the alienation of the soul, the sucking of the soul by alien and malign forces.

  • "What would you do if you lost control of your thoughts and actions? Conan Doyle is undoubtedly a master of intrigue and suspense, and everyone knows about his adventures of Sherlock Holmes, but what about the tale of Professor Austin Gilroy? Discover a man of science and evidence who only believes in things he can prove. He is a young, popular and successful physiologist engaged to the beautiful Agatha.

In The Parasite, Conan Doyle explores the relationship between an exceedingly rational professor who succumbs to the charm of a beautiful clairvoyant and mesmerist -- and soon finds himself carrying out ..."@en
