“The art of self-tormenting is an ancient one”

Dorothy L. Sayers’ Omnibus of Crime was a selection of the then-still-new Book of the Month Club in 1929. It includes stories of detection, mystery and horror spanning over 2000 years, and opens with an extended essay by Sayers on the development and art of those genres that’s often been reprinted. Rights issues made this edition’s selections differ a bit from a differently-titled British edition, but both versions will definitely be public domain in the US in 48 days.
