  Famous Ancient Greek myths tell of the vicious minotaur who devoured human sacrifices in a terrifying labyrinth. But to Ariadne, he is just her little brother. 
  “When my little brother was young, he could still eat cooked food.” 
  Ariadne, the princess of an isolated island nation, can’t predict that her little brother’s horns and cloven hooves signify that he is a cursed creature, the minotaur destined to feature in nightmares and horror movies across the ages. In her eyes, he has just developed a strange appetite. She will do anything to protect him. 
  Follow Ariadne into the labyrinth in this lyrical, blood-splattered mythological retelling that centres a familial sibling bond. This story is bite-sized for ease of consumption.

  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. 
   
  In this volume our authors present tales of dark, macabre, and disturbing deeds.  From the pens of Rudyard Kipling, M R James, Marjorie Bowen, Algernon Blackwood and others many others come carefully crafted literary journeys designed to disrupt reality, jangle nerves and feed upon our souls.

  Follow a small team of explorers racing against dwindling oxygen and mounting dread to piece together a truth too horrifying to surface.
  
  
   
  Narrated with a haunting, echoing cadence and layered with atmospheric soundscapes—from the groan of shifting debris to the muted chorus of unseen creatures—Voices from the Abyss immerses you in a realm where the deepest shadows may be the most alive.
