This collection harmonizes the distinctive voices of literature's most celebrated authors, offering readers a prism through which the multifaceted nature of the human experience is vividly reflected. Through a wide array of literary styles - from the sweeping epics of Homer to the piercing introspection of Virginia Woolf, and the existential musings of Fyodor Dostoyevsky - the anthology encapsulates the enduring themes of love, conflict, identity, and the search for meaning. Its significance is further accentuated by standout pieces that have shaped the course of literary history and human thought, inviting readers to delve into a world where literature transcends time and space. The backgrounds of the contributing authors and editors represent a panoramic view of humanity's greatest intellectual movements, embodying the essence of enlightenment, romanticism, existentialism, and the modernist wave, among others. The collective genius of authors such as Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, William Shakespeare, and Jane Austen, alongside philosophers like Plato and Marcus Aurelius, offers a kaleidoscopic view of human thought and experience. This convergence of historical and cultural narratives within the anthology enriches the reader's understanding of the universal truths that bind the human story, facilitating a dialogue that transcends temporal and geographical boundaries. The Masterpieces You Should Read Before You Die is an essential volume for readers seeking to immerse themselves in the rich tapestry of global literature. It provides a unique opportunity to engage with the ideas, emotions, and stories that have shaped the world's cultural heritage.

    The Turn of the Screw is an 1898 horror novella by Henry James that first appeared in serial format in Collier's Weekly magazine (January 27 – April 16, 1898). In October 1898 it appeared in The Two Magics, a book published by Macmillan in New York City and Heinemann in London. Classified as both gothic fiction and a ghost story, the novella focuses on a governess who, caring for two children at a remote estate, becomes convinced that the grounds are haunted.
    In the century following its publication, The Turn of the Screw became a cornerstone text of academics who subscribed to New Criticism. The novella has had differing interpretations, often mutually exclusive. Many critics have tried to determine the exact nature of the evil hinted at by the story. However, others have argued that the brilliance of the novella results from its ability to create an intimate sense of confusion and suspense within the reader.
    The novella has been adapted numerous times in radio drama, film, stage, and television, including a 1950 Broadway play, and the 1961 film The Innocents.

    The New York Times bestselling author “gives a master class on true crime reporting in Bogeyman. He writes with both muscle and heart” (Gregg Olsen, #1 New York Times bestselling author).  Bogeyman describes in dramatic detail and with heartrending poignancy the efforts of tenacious Texas lawmen to solve the cold case murders of three little girls and hold serial child killer David Elliot Penton accountable for his horrific crimes.   From the book: “For years he’d stalked elementary schools and playground looking for young girls from low-income neighborhoods to abduct, rape and murder. He thought of them as ‘throwaway kids’—hardly missed, and soon forgotten, except by those who loved them. He was every parent’s worst nightmare. The bogeyman they warned their children about . . . the fiend who lurked outside bedroom windows.” “Absorbing and haunting! Bogeyman spills creepily across the page with Steve Jackson’s hellacious verve and insight, reminding us there are few better explorers of the American berserk.”—Ron Franscell, bestselling author of Alice & Gerald: A Homicidal Love Story “Steve Jackson’s latest, Bogeyman, reveals a living, breathing nightmare that haunted parents, as well as detectives. Be sure to add it to your reading list if you’re a fan of true crime books.”—Aaron Habel, host of Generation Why Podcast   “There are true crime books that just lay out the facts, and there are true crime books that pull you deeply into a world. Jackson writes deeply . . . It’s all in Bogeyman, a fascinating, well-paced read about the lows and highs of cold case investigations.”—Katherine Ramsland, bestselling author and professor of forensic psychology, in Psychology Today
