Summary

In a world filled with menace, dare to paint on a grin. 
The world is full of images of scary clowns: packs of grinning figures with knives plaguing towns; pom-pom clad serial killers; loners who like children in the wrong way. 
But clowns can be a force for good: it takes a kind heart to put other people's joy first; keeping children entertained is honest work; what better disguise than one that makes the villains laugh? 
What if, rather than being childhood-spoiling serial killers, clowns were the victims or heroes of the story? 
When all the children at a party are poisoned, an entertainer's profession and past both make him a prime suspect. 
An anti-corporate prankster discovers his guru might be just as callous as the capitalist world-view he claims to reject. 
A clown attempts to redeem the image of his profession by saving a group of teenagers from a serial killer. 
And twelve more stories of clowns facing humanity's baser natures.

    The Black Monk and Other Stories

    Anton Chekhov

    Chekhov can characterize with a single well-selected detail. He sums up relationships among a group of people, or the beliefs held by an entire country, by finding those key objects that crystallize his characters' strongest emotions. These four stories dramatize an array of obsessions that are at once purely Russian and deeply universal. Ralph Cosham's voice is so clear and unaccented as he reads these tales that he is a bit surprising; the complex Russian names stand out, jolting the listeners. But that's the only shock here, as Cosham fits his delivery to Chekhov's style, surging to pile description on description, then pausing, to give entire scenes a unified feel and pace.
