  Eternity is unimaginably other. It is so other that we can't even begin to wrap our minds around it, let alone understand it. It remains the ultimate mystery, the intractable unknown and unknowable. 
  However, now and then, we are able to catch glimpses, or the hints of glimpses, of it. Often these epiphanies go unrecognized. Sometimes they are only suspected to have taken place. Now and then, they are recognized for what they are, if only intuitively. 
  The Great Mystery of Eternity collects ten short stories that sketch such moments. They are times of great intensity, events of that lead to a revelation. 
  These tales range from myth to science fiction, from action adventure to stories of faith, from sea adventures to the saga of one very important cup of English tea. The action is both subtle and violent, the characters are complex and layered, and the stakes couldn't be higher. 
  The window is open and ready. Are you equally prepared to look through it and to catch these ten glimpses of the other?

  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. 
   
  The plains of the American Mid-West are home to some very fine exponents of the literary craft.  Throughout this vast landscape stories seem to be everywhere offering their experiences as works just awaiting the final touches and flourishes of these famed authors.  They deliver in very talented ways.
