William Wikie Collins was a contemporary (and friend) of Charles Dickens, who wrote a series of stories and novels fitting into the genre then known as "Sensation Fiction", but which today we see as belonging to the early beginnings of Detective Fiction on one hand and of Horror on the other. His best-known works today are The Woman in White and The Moonstone, but he wrote very many other novels and short stories, almost all of which are worth reading.
