  Be warned, very few of these stories have a 'happily ever after' ending. 
  A number of these stories may appear to have been left open ended with no explanation, as had been shared with the author in that manner.

  An author’s talents may seem obvious and indisputable as they move words and ideas into gathered phrases and stories.  
  But where do these ideas and stories come from?  A lonely thought that suddenly gathers form?  An inspiration from a Muse?  A suggestion from an everyday event? 
  Perhaps in the case of their darker, more malevolent stories, other forces are at work.  They help to nourish single words into sentences and paragraphs that ease themselves from the shadows and are suddenly upon us in twisted revelation that may thrill, may disturb, but will always engage and help us explore the edge of darkness where some of the very best literature patiently lurks …. waiting …. for the likes of me and you.

  The Devil’s Wager - A Faustian...

  William Makepeace Thackeray

  The great author of Vanity Fair and The Luck Of Barry Lyndon was born in India in 1811.  At age 5 his father died and his mother sent him back to England.  His education was of the best but he himself seemed unable to apply his talents to a rigorous work ethic.  However, once he harnessed his talents the works flowed in novels, articles, short stories, sketches and lectures.  Sadly, his personal life was rather more difficult.  After a few years of marriage his wife began to suffer from depression and over the years became detached from reality.  Thackeray himself suffered from ill health later in his life and the one pursuit that kept him moving forward was that of writing.  In his life time, he was placed second only to Dickens.  High praise indeed.
