    "Short Stories" Quentin Drummond Anderson 
    In a world where reality is curated and truth engineered like algorithms, Quentin Drummond Anderson's "Short Stories" presents narratives blurring perception and deception. Inspired by Dahl and Maugham, these tales explore modern ambition where technology, power, and morality collide with unexpected results. 
    The ten stories reveal different facets of contemporary society. "The Digital Prophet" follows a tech mogul whose empire of lies collapses, revealing he's been deceived himself. "The Influencer's Shadow" exposes the fabrications beneath a social media star's curated perfection. 
    Anderson navigates shifting moral landscapes. In "Paper Tigers," rival spies discover their deception game serves larger, unseen powers. "Greenwashed" explores sustainability's dark underbelly, where noble causes mask ulterior motives. "Memory Architects" confronts the ethics of reconstructing—and essentially rewriting—the past. 
    Power dynamics thread throughout: who wields it, manipulates it, or falls victim. "The Philanthropist" explores high finance's seductive world, while "The Algorithm" wrestles with existential questions. "When Greek Meets Greek" pits two con artists against each other, each believing they've found the perfect mark until their web of lies unravels. "Marriage of Convenience" examines a partnership built on mutual benefit rather than love, where ambition and secrets threaten a calculated arrangement. 
    Each story forces characters to confront uncomfortable truths: often, the greatest deceptions are those we tell ourselves. Through these intricate narratives, Anderson holds a mirror to contemporary society, reflecting our complicity in the very illusions we condemn. 
    Prepare to be deceived, astonished, and—most importantly—to question everything you believe you know..

    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. 
     
    As the Century staggers to a close under the burdens of its expansive history authors, freed from many constraints, are exploring new ideas on a more intimate scale but on a wider landscape.  Their now everyday names and reputations are forged in these stories.

    Title: Dracula’s Guest 
    Author: Bram Stoker 
    Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
    Original Publication: 1914 
    Public Domain: Yes 
    Series Placement: Number 8 in the Timeless Terrors series 
    Description: 
    Dracula’s Guest by Bram Stoker is a haunting Gothic tale that serves as a chilling prelude to the legendary novel Dracula. First published posthumously in 1914, this short story follows an unnamed Englishman—implied to be Jonathan Harker—who strays from his coach during a journey through the Bavarian countryside on Walpurgis Night. 
    What begins as a simple detour soon descends into an atmosphere of mounting dread, as he encounters desolate graveyards, supernatural portents, and an unseen force that foreshadows the terror awaiting him in Transylvania. 
    Stoker weaves an unsettling blend of folklore, suspense, and atmospheric horror, capturing the eerie allure of the Gothic tradition. This recording, narrated by Amazon bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, immerses listeners in the tale’s dark landscapes and spectral menace. While the text itself is in the public domain, this performance is an original work and copyright © 2025 Jonathan Dunne. 
    Prepare to step into a shadowed world of ancient superstition and nocturnal terror—a fitting overture to one of literature’s most enduring vampire myths.
