  "They killed Dean. He was just a boy," the engineer said. 
  "Ain't nothin' we can do about that now," Herb said. 
  "I'm probably going to be the one who'll have to tell John's parents about this. The poor kid was just trying to do his job." 
  Herb Carlson shook his head. "I'm sorry mister, but believe it or not, we didn't want it to end that way. We just wanted the railroad company's money for a good cause and that's just what we're going to get now." 
  The old man scowled at Carlson. "So you wanted the company's money for a good cause, eh? And what might that 'good cause' be, eh? To make yourselves richer?" 
  Carlson shook his head and smiled at the old engineer. "You wouldn't understand."

  "The Nameless City" is a horror story written by American writer H. P. Lovecraft in January 1921 and first published in the November 1921 issue of the amateur press journal The Wolverine. It is often considered the first Cthulhu Mythos story. The Nameless City of the story's title is an ancient ruin located somewhere in the deserts of the Arabian Peninsula, and is older than any human civilization. In ancient times, the Nameless City was built and inhabited by an unnamed race of reptiles with a body shaped like a cross between a crocodile and a seal with a strange head common to neither, involving a protruding forehead, horns, lack of a nose, and an alligator-like jaw. These beings moved by crawling; thus, the architecture of the city has very low ceilings and some places are too low for a human being to stand upright. Their city was originally coastal, but, when the seas receded, it was left in the depths of a desert. This resulted in the decline and eventual ruin of the city.

  Ernest Hemingway's first book - "Three Stories and Ten Poems" - announced the arrival of one of the 20th Century's most revered and admired writers.   In this brief collection, published in 1923, Hemingway introduces two styles of writing: his unique, famously austere and unadorned prose style as well as his early attempts at verse. The three stories are "Up in Michigan," "Out of Season" and "My Old Man," each of which takes place in locales that regular readers of Hemingway will find familiar: the great outdoors, the Italian countryside and the bull-ring. Hemingway also offers some early, experimental poetry to round off this fascinating and brilliant early work by one of the seminal authors of his generation.   "Thee Stories and Ten Poems" is offered here in its original and unabridged format.
