Synopsis

This edition includes the following editor's introduction: Jack London, an infinite passion for adventure that drove all his work


First published two years after his death in 1918, “The Red One” contains four of Jack London's short stories.

Though most of Jack London's novels and short stories fall firmly into the action-adventure category, the prolific author occasionally ventured into other genres, as well. In this case, London ventures into the realm of science fiction again with the title story “The Red One.” A scientist collecting butterflies in the jungle encounters a giant red sphere from another world used by natives performing human sacrifices.

The collection includes three other stories: “The Hussy”, “Like Argus of the Ancient Times” and “The Princess.”

    Herbert West—Reanimator is a story by American horror fiction writer H. P. Lovecraft that was first serialized in February through July 1922 in the amateur publication Home Brew. The story was the basis of the 1985 horror film Re-Animator and its sequels, in addition to numerous other adaptations in various media. You want zombies? listen to this because Lovecraft was one of the very first and he got zombies right: scary, evil, implacable and out to get you. (Summary by Phil Chenevert )

    Falling into Forever is the story of a young woman with a unique ability... 
    She can see people's entire lives in a flash when she makes direct eye contact with them. 
    Things get even weirder when she comes face to face with an old man with the same mysterious ability. To her bewilderment, the man isn't a stranger at all. 
    Together, they fall into a seemingly endless loop of lifetimes before settling in an infinitely blissful, spiritual realm. But they choose not to stay... 
    The narrative mimics her ability, creating an interplay of multiple layers within the story. As a reader, you become immersed in her experiences, the same way she sees glimpses of other people's lives. 
    Falling into Forever is the adventure of, not one, but multiple lifetimes.
