Writers As The Protagonists – Short Stories

"The short story in Literature is a few pages of beginning, middle and end peopled by characters who quickly draw themselves into its arc from the minds of their authors. How these authors, including Herman Melville, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, M R James and Violet Hunt imagine their characters journeys is, of course, illuminating, thought-provoking and classic literature.1 - Stories with The Writer as Protagonist - An Introduction2 - Bobok by Fyodor Dostoyevsky3 - The Devil In Manuscript by Nathaniel Hawthorne4 - Cohen of Trinity by Amy Levy5 - The Art of BookMaking by Washington Irving6 - The Fiddler by Herman Melville7 - The Eyes by Edith Wharton8 - Count Magnus by M R James9 - His Wife's Deceased Sister by Frank R Stockton10 - The House of Cobwebs by George Gissing11 - Room For One by Frederick Cowles12 - Couching at the Door by D K Broster13 - The Vampire Maid by Hume Nisbet14 - Truth is Not Sober by Winifred Holtby15 - The Plutonian Fire by O Henry16 - A Sucessful Rehearsal by Anthony Hope17 - The Memoir by Violet Hunt18 - Warning Whispers by A M Burrage"

Essence of Evil – Tales of Monsters, Demons, Devils, Vampires & More

"Pure Evil is one of our greatest fears. No appeals to reason, no pleas of mercy or forgiveness will have the slightest impact on the mind of the oppressor.

The Top 10 Short Stories - Brtitish Gothic

"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 authors present tales of dark, macabre, and disturbing deeds. From the pens of Robert Louis Stevenson, Arthur Machen, Amelia Edwards, Rhoda Broughton and many others come carefully crafted literary journeys designed to disrupt reality, jangle nerves and feed upon our souls. 1 - The Top 10 Short Stories - British Gothic - An Introduction 2 - Olalla - Part 1 by Robert Louis Stevenson 3 - Olalla - Part 2 by Robert Louis Stevenson 4 - The Tapestried Chamber by Walter Scott 5 - Count Magnus by M R James 6 - The Bishop of Hell by Marjorie Bowen 7 - The Vampire Maid by Hume Nisbet 8 - The Novel of the White Powder by Arthur Machen 9 - The Phantom Coach by Amelia Edwards 10 - The Monkey's Paw by W W Jacobs 11 - The Truth, the Whole Truth and Nothing But the Truth by Rhoda Broughton 12 - The Open Door - Part 1 by Margaret Oliphant 13 - The Open Door - Part 2 by Margaret Oliphant"
