Sinossi

Fyodor Dostoyevsky's "Short Stories" is a compelling collection that explores the labyrinthine depths of the human psyche. Drawing upon themes of morality, existential dread, and the struggle between faith and nihilism, these narratives reveal the author's distinctive literary style—characterized by psychological insight, fervent dialogue, and intricate characterizations. Positioned within the broader context of 19th-century Russian literature, his stories resonate with the turbulent social and political landscape of the era, providing poignant reflections on the human condition and the emergent philosophical questions of his time. Dostoyevsky, one of the most significant figures in world literature, was profoundly influenced by his tumultuous life experiences, including his imprisonment and near-execution. These events instilled in him a deep understanding of despair and redemption, which infuses his writing with authenticity and emotional weight. His engagement with the moral complexities of life, shaped by his own struggles with faith and doubt, allows readers to delve into the profound questions of existence. I highly recommend "Short Stories" to readers seeking to understand Dostoyevsky's approach to storytelling and his exploration of psychological intricacies. This collection offers not only a glimpse into the soul of one of literature's greatest minds but also an invitation to reflect deeply on the universal themes that underpin our shared humanity.

    Richard Bernard Heldmann was born on 12th October 1857, in St Johns Wood, North London.  
    By his early 20’s Heldmann began publishing fiction for the myriad magazine publications that had sprung up and were eager for good well-written content.  
    In October 1882, Heldmann was promoted to co-editor of Union Jack, a popular magazine, but his association with the publication ended suddenly in June 1883.  It appears Heldman was prone to issuing forged cheques to finance his lifestyle.  In April 1884 he was sentenced to 18 months hard labour. 
    In order to be well away from the scandal and the damage that this had caused to his reputation Heldmann adopted a pseudonym on his release from jail.  Shortly thereafter the name ‘Richard Marsh’ began to appear in the literary periodicals.  The use of his mother’s maiden name as part of it seems both a release and a lifeline. 
    A stroke of very good fortune arrived with his novel ‘The Beetle’ published in 1897.  This would turn out to be his greatest commercial success and added some much-needed gravitas to his literary reputation.   
    Marsh was a prolific writer and wrote almost 80 volumes of fiction as well as many short stories, across many genres from horror and crime to romance and humour.   His unusual characters, plotting devices and other literary developments have identified his legacy as one of the best British writers of his time.   
    Richard Marsh died from heart disease in Haywards Heath in Sussex on 9th August 1915.  He was 57.

    "The Call of Cthulhu" is a Cthulhu Mythos story by H. P. Lovecraft, first published in the February 1928 issue of Weird Tales Magazine. 
    "The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents." 
    With these iconic words, Lovecraft opens The Call of Cthulhu, a cornerstone of twentieth-century horror and the defining tale of his vast Cthulhu Mythos. Presented as a series of interconnected documents and testimonies, the story follows a professor's descent into the tangled threads of a global mystery—a series of strange dreams, cult activity, and ancient carvings that all point to the same terrifying revelation: the Great Old One known as Cthulhu is real—and not entirely asleep.

    My name is Jack Pilton and I moved into one of those lovely old terraced houses that Cornwall is so famous for in a village called Little Trumpington. Low beamed ceilings and thick walls with stone stairs worn with thousands of shoes over hundreds of years. I'm not wealthy but I've enough for a comfortable lifestyle supported by the romantic novels I write for Amazon.  
    Soon after I arrived in the village I was asked if the local women’s group could use my lounge for their weekly card game and I was welcome to join in if I could play whist. The previous owner had been happy to let the group play in the modernised lounge that had been knocked through into the dining room and kitchen, so there was plenty of room. I didn’t see any reason not to let them play there. 
    I was very soon swept away with the game but more importantly the forfeits that the losers agreed to. The winners would spank the losers but as I was the only man in the group I eventually did all the spanking.  
    That was all eight months ago and since then spanking has become such a part of the women’s group that we had a spanking stall at the village fete a couple of weeks ago. After that, I proposed marriage to Mary who seemed to be the leader of the group and she accepted. 
    In this book, more women join the group and I have to spank them all. In addition, Samantha’s daughter Primrose is spanked three times and my neighbour is spanked as well. Finally, Mary and I get married and I spank all the ladies at the wedding naked which produces some wonderful wedding photos.
