Synopsis

His Unburned Heart tells the story of Mary Shelley’s quest to retrieve her husband’s heart from his publisher. History tells us that Percy Shelley was cremated, though his heart failed to burn, but the rest of the details are lost to time. Sandner has channeled Mary Shelley herself to share the story with us. That story is paired here with a second, related, piece. The Journal of Sorrow is named after Mary Shelley’s personal journal, and imagines Percy Shelley’s demise.
 
“Sandner presents a tender examination on the nature of grief as a literary icon speculates on her lover's demise and the strange effort to recover the last physical remnant of her dead poet. Compelling and very moving prose.” --Tim McGregor, author of Wasps in the Ice Cream and Eynhallow

    Stories of men in the woods and on the water: a Canadian guide, a trout stream, a keeper of a lighthouse, a boy and a canoe — and in each one a governing passion that decides everything. Van Dyke was a Princeton professor, a clergyman and Wilson's minister to the Netherlands during the war, and a serious fisherman; these 1901 tales are the American outdoors written by someone who knew the country and did not sentimentalize the men in it.

    "The Canterville Ghost" The first of Wilde's stories to be published, appearing in the magazine The Court and Society Review in February 1887. When a family from the United States buys Canterville Chase, they are told it is haunted by a horrible spirit, but this does not deter them in the slightest. Indeed, when they find a recurring blood stain on the floor, and hear creaking chains in the night, even seeing the ghost himself, all they do is clean up the blood and insist that the ghost oil his manacles if he is going to keep living in the house. This perturbs the ghost to no end, and he does everything he can to try to frighten the family.

    Kent Knowles writes boys' adventure stories he despises, lives with his sister on Cape Cod, has not left the town in twenty years, and is generally agreed to be a quahaug — a clam that shuts. Then a matter of an old family debt sends him to England. Lincoln built a whole career out of one place; this is his most personal book, and Kent's cowardice is diagnosed rather than excused.
