There is Flaxmanow, the Sherlock Holmes of the supernatural and his psychological detection by his creators E. and H. Heron; Algernon Blackwood's ' The Decoy' and ' The Empty House' taking suspense to unbearableengths; a friendly hoax in Percevalandon's ' Thurnley Abbey' that turns into real horror; Alice Perrin's jungle thriller ' The White Tiger'; and many more such tales that will spook you with the very best of suspense, mystery and the supernatural.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRuskin Bond is known for his signature simplistic and witty writing style.
