  Master wit Mark Twain selected these twenty-seven stories himself by fifteen of his favorite nineteenth century authors. The order follows that which Twain placed them in in the original anthology, published in 1888. He indulged his comic fancy rather than making a textbook in which all themes or authors are placed together, saying that "This way, you will have to peruse the whole thing before discovering that one of your favorites is not included." However, it is no joke that these are the authors represented: Charles Dudley Warner, Thomas Bailey Aldrich, Eugene Field, William D. Howells, James M. Bailey, Joel Chandler Harris, Katherine Kent Child Walker, Robert J. Burdette, Sam Davis, Artemus Ward, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Francis Lee Pratt, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Frederick W. Cozzens, and Twain himself.

  Anton Chekhov (1860 – 1904) is considered to be the last classic writer of the Golden Age of the Russian literature. Before Chekhov the literature had no way to analyze fleeting features of everyday and to give an overwhelming picture of life simultaneously. "Grisha" is a story of a boy taken for a walk outside of his house for the first time. He looks at the world around him and studies it with curiosity. He tries to communicate to the adults: his mother, his nanny and the people they meet during the walk. He learns the rules of the world, which is completely new for him, with childish ingeniousness and directness. The writer tries to find an answer to the question, what children may mean as they mutter so lovely, and at the same time shows our life the way we prefer not to think about.A SmartTouch Media production.

  The Dunwich Horror — Part 9 of 10

  Welcome to Timeless Terrors No. 62, continuing H. P. Lovecraft’s descent into cosmic nightmare: The Dunwich Horror. 
  The devastation left in the wake of the unseen horror deepens. Across the battered hills of Dunwich, homes lie in ruin, fields are torn apart, and the air itself feels wrong — twisted by the passage of something that should not exist. The invisible behemoth roams beyond human reach, and fear has become an inescapable presence in the countryside. 
  In the aftermath, hope flickers for the first time. A small band of scholars prepares to confront what cannot be seen, armed not with weapons, but with forbidden knowledge and desperate incantations. Yet even this fragile resistance feels terrifyingly inadequate against a force born beyond the stars. 
  Narrated by Amazon-bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this chapter carries the story toward its turning point — where human defiance stands face to face with an indifferent and ancient terror that was never meant to be fought. 
  This is Part 9 of a 10-part complete audiobook. Stay tuned — the end begins to take shape.
