Dive into the shadows with 'Creatures of the Night (Boxed Set Edition),' an anthology that explores the seductive allure of the supernatural across centuries and continents. This carefully curated collection spans the literary spectrum, offering gothic horror, eerie folklore, and evocative narratives that captivate the imagination. Without attributing any single piece by name, the anthology thrums with chilling yet enchanting tales that delve into the depths of human fear and fascination with the unknown. Each story is a dance with the dark, from grotesque monsters to the tormented human psyche, presented in a diversity of literary styles that reflect deep-seated existential quandaries and the universal allure of the macabre. Contributing to this rich tapestry are literary luminaries such as Rudyard Kipling and Alexandre Dumas Père, alongside lesser-known but equally potent voices like Marie de France and Clifford Ball. These authors, from the heart of the Romantic period to the burgeoning Bloomsbury scene, embody a myriad of cultural and historical influences. Their stories resonate with varied epochs, intricately weaving together the folkloric with modern interpretations, illuminating the thematic pursuit of defining and confronting human fears through time. This collection offers an unparalleled exploration of nighttime narratives, inviting readers to journey into the intersecting worlds of history, culture, and imagination. Broaden your literary horizons and deepen your appreciation for the art of storytelling through this compendium of diverse voices. Immerse yourself in tales that are at once shocking and enlightening, engaging with multifaceted perspectives that redefine the boundaries of haunting experiences and paranormal fascinations. 'Creatures of the Night' will both educate and entertain, provoking thoughtful discourse long after the final page is turned.

    Anton Pavlovich Chekhov was born on 29th January 1860 in Taganrog, on the south coast of Russia.  
    His family life was difficult; his father was strict and over-bearing but his mother was a passionate story-teller, a subject Chekhov warmed to. As he later said; ‘our talents we got from our father, but our soul from our mother’.  
    At school Chekhov was distinctly average. At 16 his father mis-managed his finances and was declared bankrupt. His family fled to Moscow. Chekhov remained and eked out a living by various means, including writing and selling short sketches to newspapers, to finish his schooling. That completed and with a scholarship to Moscow University obtained he rejoined his family. 
    He was able to help support them by selling satirical sketches and vignettes of Russian lifestyles and gradually obtained further commissions. In 1884, he qualified as a physician and, although it earned him little, he often treated the poor for free, he was fond of saying ‘Medicine is my lawful wife, and literature is my mistress.’ 
    His own health was now an issue as he began to cough up blood, a symptom of tuberculosis.  Despite this his writing success enabled him to move the family into more comfortable accommodation.  
    Chekhov wrote over 500 short stories which included many, many classics including ‘The Kiss’ and ‘The Lady with a Dog’.  His collection ‘At Dusk’ won him the coveted Pushkin Prize when was only 26.  
    He was also a major playwright beginning with the huge success of ‘Ivanov’ in 1887.   
    In 1892 Chekhov bought a country estate north of Moscow. Here his medical skills and money helped the peasants tackle outbreaks of cholera and bouts of famine. He also built three schools, a fire station and a clinic.  It left him with less time for writing but the interactions with real people gained him detailed knowledge about the peasantry and their living conditions for his stories.  
    His most famous work, ‘The Seagull’ was received disastrously at its premiere in St Petersburg. It was later restaged in Moscow to highlight its psychological aspects and was a huge success. It led to ‘Uncle Vanya’, ‘The Three Sisters’ and ‘The Cherry Orchard’.  
    Chekhov suffered a major lung hemorrhage in 1897 while visiting Moscow. A formal diagnosis confirmed tuberculosis and the doctors ordered changes to his lifestyle.  
    Despite a dread of weddings the elusive literary bachelor quietly married the actress Olga Knipper, whom he had met at rehearsals for ‘The Seagull’, on 25th May 1901. 
    By May 1904 with his tuberculosis worsening and death imminent he set off for the German town of Badenweiler writing cheerful, witty letters to his family and assuring them his health was improving.  
    On 15th July 1904 Anton Chekhov died at Badenweiler.  He was 44.
