  All Quiet on the Western Front" is one of the most significant literary works of the 20th century. Its characters, like the author himself, belong to the "lost generation" - a generation whose youth was lost in the trenches of World War I. 
  Eighteen and nineteen-year-olds arrive at the front almost directly from school, encouraged by their teachers to fulfill their duty to the fatherland. Yet they question what this duty means, aware they're shooting at young enemies just like themselves, who similarly long for home and peace and question the war's purpose. 
  The cruelty of the war machine, in which they are mere cogs, first strips them of their humanity and eventually their lives - making them quite literally a "lost generation."

  The veil between life and death grows thin once more. Timeless Terrors: Volume Two gathers six haunting masterworks of classic and Gothic horror, each a descent into the strange, the spectral, and the doomed. Step into worlds where music can hold back madness, where fate is written in heat and shadow, and where no mask can hide from death itself. 
  Witness the oppressive dread of August Heat, the dark justice of The Cats of Ulthar, the haunted sorrow of The Boarded Window, and the otherworldly melodies of The Music of Erich Zann. Journey onward to The Tomb, where obsession crosses the threshold of mortality, and end beneath the crimson glow of The Masque of the Red Death, Poe’s chilling vision of plague and retribution. 
  This volume includes: 
  August Heat, The Cats of Ulthar, The Boarded Window, The Music of Erich Zann, The Tomb, and The Masque of the Red Death. 
  Through the voice of horror author Jonathan Dunne, these timeless stories rise again from the crypt of literature’s darkest imagination. Immerse yourself in tales that echo through eternity — where every silence hides a secret, and every breath may be your last.

  Rudyard Kipling - Six of the...

  Six has always been a number we group things around – Six of the best, six of one half a dozen of another, six feet under, six pack, six degrees of separation and a sixth sense are but a few of the ways we use this number. 
   
  Such is its popularity that we thought it is also a very good way of challenging and investigating an author’s work to give width, brevity, humour and depth across six of their very best. 
   
  In this series we gather together authors whose short stories both rivet the attention and inspire the imagination to visit their gems in a series of six, to roam across an author’s legacy in a few short hours and gain a greater understanding of their writing and, of course, to be lavishly entertained by their ideas, their narrative and their way with words. 
   
  These stories can be surprising and sometimes at a tangent to what we expected, but each is fully formed and a marvellous adventure into the world and words of a literary master.
