  You Can't See Them. But They Can See You. 
   
  This forest isn't charted on any map. Every car breaks down at its treeline. Mina's is no different. Left stranded, she is forced into the dark woodland only to find a woman shouting, urging mina to run to a concrete bunker. As the door slams behind her, the building is besieged by screams. 
  Mina finds herself in a room with a wall of glass, and an electric light that activates at nightfall, when the watchers come above ground. These creatures emerge to observe their captive humans and terrible things happen to anyone who doesn't reach the bunker in time. 
  Afraid and trapped among strangers, Mina is desperate for answers. Who are the watchers and why are these creatures keeping them imprisoned, keen to watch their every move?

  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 close encounters of a spectral kind come to visit and offer us their stories through the pens of such literary masters as Alexander Pushkin, Oscar Wilde, Amelia Edwards, Washington Irving and many others can.  
   
  The excellence of their story-telling craft makes each story a journey into certain and unsettling fear.

  Sophia Boralis is haunted by the death of her mother, her life consumed by a dark and dangerous depression that brings sinister shadows to life in her mirrors. After a desperate suicide attempt, she finds herself under the care of Harper, a psychiatrist with an almost otherworldly presence, at a mental health hospital.  
   In the hospital, Sophia meets Jeremy, a boyishly handsome man whose brokenness mirrors her own.  Yet, Jeremy harbors deep suspicions about Harper and his true intentions. Harper offers Sophia and Jeremy a chance to confront their trauma through shadow work, inviting them to his secluded mental institution where he teaches Witchcraft for therapeutic means.  There, Harper reveals his own suspicions about Jeremy to Sophia, leaving her torn between her two men, not knowing who to trust or who to fear. 
  As Sophia delves into Harper’s world, she encounters her shadows, which are actually inner demons more formidable and supernatural than she ever imagined.  In a world where trust is fragile and reality is blurred, she must navigate her way to sanity, all while her inner demons claw their way to the surface… 
    And they want out...
