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 Edwardian era lasted under a decade at the turn of the 1900’s.

This is a radio play version of Mary Shelley's classic novel, about the scientist Victor Frankenstein who created a monster. Recent biographies of Mary Shelley have pointed to the fact that Mary Shelley's motives for writing her story differ from those the public eventually attributed to it. There is good support for this because Mary Shelley wrote a preface to the 1831 edition of her novel in which she explicitly states this. And the themes she mentions are also present in her less talked about novel, The Last Man. This is an adaptation by Michael Henrik Wynn for the education net radio stream Historyradio.org, and he also narrates and plays the various parts.Mostra libro
The Collected Ghost Stories of M. R. James is an omnibus collection of ghost stories. Many of these stories are time-tested classics. Montague Rhodes James is best remembered for his ghost stories, which some consider among the best in the genre. He redefined the ghost story for the new century by abandoning many of the formal Gothic clichés of his predecessors and using more realistic contemporary settings. However, his protagonists and plots tend to reflect his own antiquarian interests. Accordingly, he is known as the originator of the "antiquarian ghost story".H. P. Lovecraft was an admirer of James's work, extolling the stories as the peak of the ghost story form in his essay "Supernatural Horror in Literature".A collection of stories: Canon Alberic's Scrap-bookLost HeartsThe MezzotintThe Ash TreeNumber 13Count MagnusThe Treasure of Abbot ThomasA School StoryThe Rose GardenThe Stalls of Barchester CathedralThe Diary of Mr. PoynterAn Episode of Cathedral HistoryThe Story of a Disappearance and an AppearanceAn Evening's EntertainmentA Warning to the CuriousA Neighbour's LandmarkThe Uncommon Prayer-bookThe Haunted Dolls' HouseWailing WellThere Was a Man Dwelt by a ChurchyardRatsAfter Dark in the Playing FieldsThe Experiment: a New Year's Eve Ghost StoryThe Malice of Inanimate ObjectsA VignetteMostra libro
