Synopsis

In "Michael O'Halloran," Gene Stratton-Porter ventures into the realm of early 20th-century American literature, crafting a touching narrative that intertwines themes of childhood innocence, the bond between humans and nature, and the redemptive power of love. Set against the picturesque backdrop of the Hoosier landscape, the novel features the adventures of a young boy, Michael, as he encounters both the joys and tribulations of life in a rapidly changing society. Stratton-Porter's characteristic pastoral style is complemented by her keen observations of the natural world, creating a vivid setting that emphasizes the serenity and challenges faced by her characters. Gene Stratton-Porter, a prominent author and naturalist, was deeply influenced by her upbringing in rural Indiana, which instilled in her a profound appreciation for nature and humanity. Her works often reflect her commitment to environmentalism and social advocacy, particularly for women and the underprivileged. This background and her unwavering passion for storytelling paved the way for "Michael O'Halloran," where she masterfully explores the complexities of human relationships and the impact of nature on personal growth. Readers seeking an engaging and uplifting tale will find "Michael O'Halloran" a compelling exploration of life's beauty and challenges. Whether you are drawn to themes of resilience or the nostalgic portrayal of childhood, this novel promises to resonate profoundly, inviting you to reflect on the enduring connections that shape our lives.

    Yet neither of us want what fate decrees.

    The vampires were only the pawns in this war. 
    The demons are on their way. 
    And if we’re not careful, the Aspen Pack could lose someone that breaks them. 
    And I could lose my mate.

    Vienna, 1904. The body of a man—still sitting in a chair—is discovered in an abandoned piano factory on the outskirts of the city. He has been shot dead but his face has been horribly disfigured with acid, making identification impossible. In front of the body are three chairs positioned conspicuously in a straight line. Who were the former occupants? Had they sat in judgement and pronounced a sentence of death? Detective Inspector Oskar Rheinhardt calls on his good friend, Doctor Max Liebermann—psychiatrist and disciple of Sigmund Freud—to assist in an investigation that draws them both into the shadowy and sexually unconventional world of fringe political activism.

    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 the Mad Scientist takes centre stage.  Naturally the stories come in all shapes and sizes and in the pens of our classic authors the scientists more usually arrive as dark, twisted and evil as they go about their work illuminating humanity as only a mad scientist can.
