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. These Evil entities, surely we can’t name them as beings, include all sorts of monsters, demons, devils, vampires and other assorted ghouls that care little about the fate of you or I.1 - Essence of Evil - Tales of Monsters, Demons, Devils, Vampires & more2 - The Call of Cthulhu - Part 1 by H P Lovecraft3 - The Call of Cthulhu - Part 2 by H P Lovecraft4 - A Pastoral Horror by Arthur Conan Doyle5 - The Devil In Manuscript by Nathaniel Hawthorne6 - Lucifer by Anatole France7 - The Devil's Wager by William Makepeace Thackeray8 - The Devil and Tom Walker by Washington Irving9 - From the Memoirs of Satan by Wilhelm Hauff10 - The Devil's Mother-in-Law by Fernan Caballeron11 - The Devils Horse by Ion Luca Caragiale12 - The Demon Pope by Richard Garnett13 - Canon Alberic's Scrap-Book by M R James14 - Belphagor by Niccolo Machiavelli15 - Mark of the Beast by Rudyard Kipling16 - A Story of a Weir-Wolf by Catherine Crowe17 - The She-Wolf by Saki18 - The Vampyre.

The Devil - The Europeans - A Short Story Collection

"Where there is good there is Evil. Whether you buy into that or not it makes for excellent literature. Authors have always explored the subject with abandon, able to unleash dark fears from the page without summoning them into reality or hearing them in withering hegemonic tones from the pulpit at our local church. Our fear of the Devil, whatever his temptations and rewards, is amplified by the thought of eternal damnation in his hell house service. In this volume our authors are all from Europe and see the Devil in ways that we recognise and yet are culturally distinct to the European mainland. 1 - The Devil - The Europeans - A Short Story Collection - An Introduction 2 - Lucifer by Anatole France 3 - The Lost Reflection by E T A Hoffman 4 - Belphagor by Niccolo Machiavelli 5 - The Generous Gambler by Charles Baudelaire 6 - From the Memoirs of Satan by Wilhelm Hauff 7 - The Devil's Mother-in-Law by Fernan Caballeron 8 - The Devils Horse by Ion Luca Caragiale"

The Top 10 Short Stories - The 1900's - The Europeans

"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. A new century dawns, but old suffocating ideas live on. Society seems wary of change until it is forced upon it. But Europe's authors seem to have no fear. They move in relentless pursuit with an energy that must at some near future point challenge everything. The World begins it short march to catastrophe. 1 - The Top 10 - The 1900's - The Europeans - An Introduction 2 - The Informer by Joseph Conrad 3 - Silence by Leonid Nikolaevich Andreyev 4 - Tomato Sauce by Hanns Heinz Ewers 5 - Putois by Anatole France 6 - The Devil's Horse by Ion Luca Caragiale 7 - How Treason Came to Russia by Rainer Maria Rilke 8 - The Duel by Nikolai Teleshov 9 - Cuchulain of Muirthemne.
