  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.

  From a young age, Layla Salek has experienced some people as colors—her mother brown, her father green, her husband rainbow. As she notes, sometimes, when words fail, colors speak.
  
  Chaos in Color is the captivating story of Layla’s journey from childhood to adulthood with a mother who suffered from untreated bipolar disorder. Each chapter paints a vivid, heartbreaking picture of the abuse, neglect, and trauma that she experienced as she grew up at the mercy of her mother’s bipolar swings, an incompetent mental health system, and the strangers with whom she was often left. But dissipating those times of darkness were moments of love, joy, and happiness that she felt while being cared for by others in her life. These moments inspired her to start her own family, complete a doctorate in psychology, and work with children with mental illness and severe behavior disorders.
  
  Layla’s story traces how personal and familial trauma is carried into adulthood and how it can be released through forgiveness. This honest, provocative memoir offers a relatable account for others who have experienced similar trauma, as well as hope for healing and a future full of light.

  Since 2008, the Fourniret affair has been devastating France and Belgium. The serial killer Michel Fourniret was sentenced to life imprisonment for a series of kidnappings, rapes and murders. His wife, Monique Olivier, was also given life imprisonment with preventive detention of twenty-eight years. Their shadows continue to hover over some thirty unsolved murders.
  In 2014, the journalist Oli Porri Santoro began his investigation; and in the process, he met and befriended Selim, the only son of the diabolical couple. Selim had since built a new life for himself in the south of France, under a new identity. 
  The day after their meeting, fate intervened. Selim received a letter from his father, whom he had not heard from for ten years. Over the next ten years, Santoro and Selim began corresponding with Fourniret (there are more than a hundred letters) and met him in prison at Ensisheim in Alsace. 
  This is a true story never before told, with unpublished confessions of murders never obtained by investigators, the revealing of the name of a potential accomplice, evidence of Michel Fourniret's presence at the Ranucci trial in 1976, and the truth about the fate of the remains of the Postiches gang treasure.
