  Top 10 Short Stories The - Jack...

  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. 
   
  Jack London is widely regarded as one of America’s pre-eminent writers of the great outdoors.  His stories are raw and, at times, harrowing, but always dependable fare.  His work also includes stories on pandemics and bizarre scientific experiments.  An author so much more than the usual wrapper proclaims.

  An urban myth is often quoted that you are never further than six feet from a rat in any built-up area.  The true figure is nearer one hundred and fifty feet but that too seems too close for comfort. 
   
  Wherever these creatures settle there is an undeniable fear amongst most of us that they are malevolent, vile and disgusting creatures.  A chill and a shudder are our bodies natural reactions.  Fear lurks in our hearts and souls. 
   
  Enter our storied arena of authors.  This, for them, is fertile territory with which to torment and torture the reader and listener with all sorts of dark deeds that, somehow, we just can’t resist.  
   
  From the macabre and talented pens of Lovecraft, Stoker, James we add Cowles and Mann and others to assault your ears.

  These loosely connected stories are laced with the familiar and the uncanny, the real and the surreal, the ordinary and the fabulistic. A documentary filmmaker refuses to give up on finding his daughter who mysteriously disappears by the river. A small-time real estate agent recovers from a brief psychotic episode upon discovering his fiancée's affair. An actress struggles to grasp reality when the recordings of lucid dreams are used in movies instead of live performances. An eccentric teenager recounts his first romance from beyond the grave. 
   
   
   
  Spanning the boundaries of literary and speculative fiction, The Reincarnations revolves around multiple forms of Zenlike rebirth. Equal parts raw emotion and wild imagination, Nathan Elias's debut story collection ushers in an electrifying yet tender new voice in fiction.

  Marriage License - A 1933 Spicy...

  'Marriage License' (1933) is a provocative short story published in the risqué pulp magazine Spicy Stories. I love narrating these types of stories because they emphasize the interaction between men and women without salacious details about sex. 
  Set during the early 20th century, 'Marriage License' follows a young couple navigating the tension between societal expectations and personal desires. They go about pursuing a marriage license under questionable circumstances.  
  With its flirtatious tone and suggestive dialogue you'll be surprised at how much this spicy story pushes the boundaries toward love, gender roles, and morality. Especially since it was set during the Great Depression. This one has a fun twist at the end too. Enjoy and stay sensual. Dyann at The Body House
