Book excerpt: E. W. Hornung's Witching Hill is a collection of short fiction tales. The stories are all intertwined with the idea that riddles and murders are the product of the "old man," the long-dead malevolent Lord Mulcaster. His eight unique pieces were serialized in Scribner's Magazine. The plot centers around strange occurrences on the Witching Hill estate, as well as the efforts of a plantation officer, Gillon, and a local, Delavoye, to manage it. It's worth noting that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's brother-in-law was E.W. Hornung. Each narrative takes set on the Witching Hill estate, which was created on the grounds of a rural estate that was once a hotbed of decadence and wickedness decades ago.
