The Top 10 Short Stories - Madness

"Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author's brain, their soul and heart. A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted 'Top Tens' across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions - Why that story? Why that author? The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme. Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made. If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something. In this volume our esteemed authors tackle the difficult subject of madness, its forms of expressions and the usually dark consequences of its nature. Our literary storytellers include Nathaniel Hawthorne, Anatole France, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, H P Lovecraft and many others. What they reveal is both riveting and disturbing. 1 - The Top 10 Short Stories - Madness - An Introduction 2 - The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman 3 - Diary of a Madman by Nikolai Gogol 4 - The Fall of the House of Usher - Part 1 by Edgar Allan Poe 5 - The Fall of the House of Usher - Part 2 by Edgar Allan Poe 6 - The Mass of Shadows by Anatole France 7 - The Devil In Manuscript by Nathaniel Hawthorne 8 - The Call of Cthulhu - Part 1 by H P Lovecraft 9 - The Call of Cthulhu - Part 2 by H P Lovecraft 10 - Hide And Seek or Pliatki by Fyodor Sologub 11 - Brothers by Sherwood Anderson 12 - A Red Flower by Vsevolod Garshin 13 - Diary of a Lunatic by Leo Tolstoy"

Stories To Make You Cry

"When we read or listen, words can have a transforming effect. Our mood can alter in the space of a few sentences from joy to sadness. And not just our mood. These words can affect us physically, they can engage our emotions and even in their sadness bring a lump to our throat and tears to our eyes. Sometimes the relief can be palpable.Our authors, from Anton Chekhov, Stephen Crane, Willa Cather, Katherine Mansfield and a wealth of others are well aware of what their talents will evoke.

Short Stories About Mental Illness

"For many of us illness refers solely to the physical. Accidents and disease wear us down, hiccup our life from childhood to old age. But everyone empathises, understands and helps us on the road to recovery. Mental illness though can still carry a stigma. A case of 'you're not trying hard enough', 'or knuckling down and getting on with it'. But in more recent decades mental issues have come to be recognised as an illness, a disease rather than an affliction. We all remember horror stories of lobotomy's and electric shock being used to 'cure' what society viewed as anti-social behaviour but illness, mental or physical is very real. Depression, schizophrenia, breakdown, psychosis, are alarming events to have or to witness. In this volume our classic authors including Sherwood Anderson, Amy Levy, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Barry Pain and many others explore this oft neglected and most difficult of topics.1 - Short Stories About Mental Illness - An Introduction2 - Diary of a Madman by Nikolai Gogol3 - The Yellow Wall Paper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman4 - Sokratics in the Strand by Amy Levy5 - A Complete Recovery by Barry Pain6 - Diary of a Lunatic by Leo Tolstoy7 - Adventure by Sherwood Anderson8 - Miss Ogilivy Finds Herself by Radclyffe Hall9 - Hide And Seek or Pliatki by Fyodor Sologub10 - Brothers by Sherwood Anderson11 - Fear by Catherine Wells12 - The Diary of a God by Barry Pain13 - Shut Out by F Anstey14 - The Miracle by John Davys Beresford15 - The Lie by Leonid Andreyev16 - The Fall of the House of Usher - Part 1 by Edgar Allan Poe17 - The Fall of the House of Usher - Part 2 by Edgar Allan Poe18 - The Last of Squire Ennismore by Charlotte Riddell19 - Cohen of Trinity by Amy Levy20 - The City by Leonid Andreyev21 - In the Séance Room by Lettice Galbraith22 - A Red Flower by Vsevolod Garshin23 - Hands by Sherwood Anderson24 - Silence by Leonid Nikolaevich Andreyev25 - Paul's Case by Willa Cather"
