  Top 10 Short Stories The -...

  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. 
   
  Invariably Jerome is most often remembered for his light-hearted and humourous works such as ‘Three Men in a Boat’.  Here we have a number of his beautifully lyrical short stories and some from his forgotten, and rather darker side.

  For my last job of the day, I had to deliver another script to another famous star.  
    
  So, as I pulled into the driveway at the home of Ava Gardner, my only thought was my task at hand.  Sex was the last thing on my mind.  
  Ava Gardner was a very beautiful woman, but in my mind, was an untouchable since she was once married to, of all people, Frank Sinatra, and the very last thing I wanted to do was get on Frank Sinatra's bad side by screwing his absolutely gorgeous ex-wife.  
  Then again?
