  The short story is often viewed as an inferior relation to the Novel.  But it is an art in itself.  To take a story and distil its essence into fewer pages while keeping character and plot rounded and driven is not an easy task.  Many try and many fail.  In this series we look at short stories from many of our most accomplished writers.  Miniature masterpieces with a lot to say.  In this volume we examine some of the short stories of HP Lovecraft. There are rather few masters of horror writing out of the many who write horror.  HP Lovecraft along with Edgar Allan Poe have achieved fame because their work is of a standard of excellence that few if any can rival.   Here we concentrate on HP Lovecraft, even the name has a sliver of the night about it.  Born in 1890 in Providence, Rhode Island he was a prodigious youth but a sickly one.  Raised mainly by his Grandfather and Aunts at 14 he contemplated suicide on the death of his grandfather and the crushing financial blow that brought to himself and his mother.  A set of literary spats in a newspaper brought him attention away from his poetry writings.  But until the last decade of his life the works for which we is so well know did not arrive.   That last decade, writing again in Providence was prolific but with little income his life downgraded rented house by rented house and in 1936, often malnourished he was diagnosed with cancer and succumbed to it the following year.

  Life brings along with it many stories…waiting to be heard…waiting to be read. And I too have heard many real life incidents from friends, family and others. Incidents which then would linger in my mind, far too long, and take paths, far too adventurous. It was not long before I started to jolt down these stories and narrate them into an audiobook, to turn real life episodes into fiction. The whole process of masking as another character, letting loose the creative possibilities, working with music was an unforgettable learning experience.   There is always something to learn from others. Real In Reel is all about reflections from the strange, small or big experiences of many in the most delightful manner.These stories have also had a great impact on my outlook in life. Occasionally I would find looking at my stories from a different point of view, so as to add more details and flavor to the situations and characters and, overtime I internalized these habits to my circumstances. It was not my will, but of those stories that have made themselves heard through me and led me to create this audiobook. I thank the many inspirations for this book and my father the most. ----- Shreyans Ranjalkar

  This is the story of one man's dream to edit a groundbreaking contemporary poetry anthology, of how that dream was actually a lot of work, what with reading many bad poems and also competent ones and handwriting rejection letters and using his wife's family money to pay postage and production costs, all while trying to bounce his newborn son to sleep. It is the story of the epiphanies that come with extreme tiredness: that maybe, just maybe, the greatest poetry book of all is one that contains no poems.
