Synopsis

E. F. Benson's "Complete Short Stories" compiles over seventy captivating narratives that traverse the realms of ghosts, the supernatural, and psychological mystery. Characterized by Benson's trademark wit, sharp observation, and atmospheric detail, the stories range from the chilling to the whimsical, reflecting the early 20th-century literary context in which he wrote. With influences from Gothic literature and Victorian ghost stories, these tales challenge the boundaries of reality, often subverting expectations and leading the reader into deeper realms of introspection about life, death, and the unseen. E. F. Benson, an accomplished author and a prominent figure in English literature, was deeply influenced by his experiences in a highly literary family, as well as his studies at Cambridge. His extensive travels and social life provided a rich backdrop for the multifaceted characters and haunting narratives he created. Benson's work as a prolific novelist, biographer, and playwright allowed him to explore various themes of love, identity, and the ethereal, culminating in the haunting depth of these short stories. This collection is highly recommended for both fans of classic literature and newcomers alike. Benson's ability to weave social commentary with supernatural elements invites readers to reflect on their own fears and fascinations, making it a timeless addition to the literary canon. Delve into this compelling anthology and experience the mastery of Benson's storytelling.

    Megan is a thirteen-year-old teenage girl, who realises that she has psychic powers that others do not have. At first, she tried to talk to her mother about them, but with disastrous consequences, so she learned to keep quiet about them. 
    However, some people do offer to help and an animal showed a special friendship, but they were not `alive` in the normal sense of the word. They had passed on. 
    Megan has three such friends: Wacinhinsha, her Spirit Guide, who had been Sioux in his last life on Earth; her maternal grandfather, Gramps and a huge Siberian tiger called Grrr. 
    Wacinhinsha is extremely knowledgeable in all things spiritual, psychic and paranormal; her grandfather is a novice `dead person` and Grrr can only speak Tiger, as one might imagine and most of that, of course is unintelligible to humans. 
    In `Megan`s Father Falls Ill`, Megan is concerned about her father`s health, because she has never seen him ill before, so she decides to try using her psychic powers to cure him. In the end, she uses a combination of her gifts and the Internet to discover ways to help him recover. 
    Wacinhinsha gives her a lecture on medicine and its application, especially from the Spiritualist point of view.
