    Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart.  A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. 
     
    In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?  
     
    The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme.  Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. 
     
    Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made.  If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something. 
     
    In this volume that most heinous of crimes is explored and dissected by the minds of our classic authors who show that the taking of another’s life in print is so real that the possibility arises that they have carried out this deed in reality.  Genius has many names.

    A father had two sons. The dimwitted younger son, when asked by his father what he would like to learn to support himself, said he would like to learn how to shudder (as in, learn to have fear). A sexton told the father that he could teach the boy. After teaching him to ring the church bell, he sent him one midnight to ring it and came after him, dressed as a ghost. The boy demanded an explanation. When the sexton did not answer, the boy, unafraid, pushed him down the stairs, breaking his leg.

    Oscar Wilde's "The Picture of Dorian Gray" immerses readers in a world where the pursuit of beauty and pleasure supersedes morality. The young, handsome Dorian Gray remains eternally youthful, while a portrait of him reflects his soul's decay, bearing the consequences of his hedonistic actions. As Dorian navigates high society with a sinister invulnerability, his external allure contrasts starkly with his internal corruption. A haunting and philosophical tale of vanity, obsession, and the dark depths of human nature.
