  "The Street" is a short story by American horror fiction writer H. P. Lovecraft, written in late 1919 and first published in the December 1920 issue of the Wolverine amateur journal.
  The story traces the history of the eponymous street in a New England city, presumably Boston, from its first beginnings as a path in colonial times to a quasi-supernatural occurrence in the years immediately following World War I. As the city grows up around the street, it is planted with many trees and built along with "simple, beautiful houses of brick and wood," each with a rose garden. As the Industrial Revolution runs its course, the area degenerates into a run-down, polluted slum, with all of the street's old houses falling into disrepair...

  "The Great God Pan" is a novella written by Arthur Machen. A version of the story was published in the magazine Whirlwind in 1890, and Machen revised and extended it for its book publication (together with another story, "The Inmost Light") in 1894. On publication it was widely denounced by the press as degenerate and horrific because of its decadent style and sexual content, although it has since garnered a reputation as a classic of horror. Machen's story was only one of many at the time to focus on Pan as a useful symbol for the power of nature and paganism.

  Pillar of Fire by Ray Bradbury is a haunting and philosophical science fiction novella that explores the boundaries between life and death in a sterile, futuristic society that has abolished the very concept of mortality. When William Lantry, a man long dead, awakens in a world where death has been erased from memory and corpses are destroyed rather than buried, he becomes the last ghost of humanity’s forgotten fear. Driven by loneliness and rage, Lantry wages a one-man war against a civilization that refuses to remember its dead. Bradbury’s chilling tale is both a meditation on human emotion and a gothic confrontation between memory, mortality, and progress—a story that challenges what it means to truly be alive in an age without death. Perfect for fans of classic speculative fiction, dystopian futures, and gothic horror.
