  "The Lightning-Rod Man" appeared in 1854, in Putnam's Monthly Magazine no. 20 (August).
  What grand irregular thunder, thought I, standing on my hearthstone among the Acroceraunian hills, as the scattered bolts boomed overhead and crashed down among the valleys, every bolt followed by zigzag irradiations, and swift slants of sharp rain, which audibly rang, like a charge of spear-points, on my low shingled roof. I suppose, though, that the mountains hereabouts break and churn up the thunder, so that it is far more glorious here than on the plain. Hark! - some one at the door. Who is this that chooses a time of thunder for making calls? And why don't he, man-fashion, use the knocker, instead of making that doleful undertaker's clatter with his fist against the hollow panel? But let him in. Ah, here he comes. "Good day, sir:" an entire stranger. "Pray be seated." What is that strange-looking walking-stick he carries: "A fine thunder-storm, sir."

  Step Into a World Where Logic Fails and the Strange Becomes Reality.
  
  Franz Kafka is the architect of the modern nightmare. His writing captures the unique terror of the 20th century: the feeling of being a small, insignificant cog in a vast, incomprehensible machine. This collection brings together his most profound works, exploring the thin line between the mundane and the monstrous, and the struggle of the individual to find meaning in a world defined by silence and shadow.
  
  
  This collection explores the pillars of the "Kafkaesque" experience:
  
  The Bureaucracy of the Absurd: Navigate the endless corridors and faceless authorities that define Kafka's vision of modern society, where the rules are unknown and the guilt is assumed.
  
  The Anatomy of Alienation: Experience the visceral, often physical transformations that serve as metaphors for the isolation and rejection felt by the modern soul.
  
  Existential Uncertainty: Witness the struggle of characters who seek justice, entry, or understanding from a universe that remains stubbornly indifferent to their existence.
  
  Psychological Surrealism: Discover the "dream-logic" that governs his narratives, where the impossible is treated with chilling, matter-of-fact realism.
  
  Kafka's influence is inescapable, touching everything from philosophy to film. His ability to articulate the unspoken anxieties of the human condition makes this volume an essential cornerstone for any library of modernist literature, existential philosophy, and surrealist fiction.
  
  
  Don't just observe the labyrinth—enter it. Buy the "Essential Franz Kafka" today and own the definitive map of the modern mind.

  The Shadow over Innsmouth is a horror novella by American author H. P. Lovecraft, written in November-December 1931. It forms part of the Cthulhu Mythos, using its motif of a malign undersea civilization, and references several shared elements of the Mythos, including place-names, mythical creatures, and invocations. The Shadow over Innsmouth is the only Lovecraft story that was published in book form during his lifetime. The narrator is a student conducting an antiquarian tour of New England. He travels through the nearby decrepit seaport of Innsmouth which is suggested as a cheaper and potentially interesting next leg of his journey. There he interacts with strange people and observes disturbing events that ultimately lead to horrifying and personal revelations.

  Herbert George Wells (21 September 1866 - 13 August 1946) was an English writer. Prolific in many genres, he wrote dozens of novels, short stories, and works of social commentary, history, satire, biography and autobiography. His work also included two books on recreational war games. Wells is now best remembered for his science fiction novels and is often called the "father of science fiction", along with Jules Verne and the publisher Hugo Gernsback.
  MISS WINCHELSEA'S HEART: Miss Winchelsea was going to Rome. The matter had filled her mind for a month or more, and had overflowed so abundantly into her conversation that quite a number of people who were not going to Rome, and who were not likely to go to Rome, had made it a personal grievance against her.
