  "He was a killer, a thing of claw and fang... until he learned the law of love."
  
  Born in the freezing wilds of the North, White Fang is three-quarters wolf and one-quarter dog—a creature caught between two worlds. His early life is a brutal lesson in the "Law of Meat": eat or be eaten. From the cold caves of the Yukon to the cruel hands of Gray Beaver and the sadistic "Beauty" Smith, White Fang is molded into a fierce, solitary fighter. But his life takes a dramatic turn when he is rescued by Weedon Scott. Through patience and kindness, White Fang must undergo the ultimate trial: unlearning the instincts of the wild to discover the meaning of loyalty.
  
  Nature vs. Nurture: Jack London uses White Fang's life as a laboratory to explore the power of environment. The novel demonstrates how cruelty creates a "monstrosity" of hate, while affection can transform a predator into a protector. It is a masterpiece of animal psychology that challenges our understanding of the boundary between "tame" and "wild."
  
  The "Wild" Reimagined: The opening of the novel, featuring the terrifying pursuit of two men by a starving wolf pack, is one of the most famous sequences in literature. London portrays the North not as a playground, but as a "Wild" that is indifferent to human suffering, setting the stage for White Fang's incredible resilience.
  
  The Final Transition: The climax takes White Fang from the snow-covered Yukon to the sun-drenched valleys of California. Here, he must face his final challenge: protecting his new family from a threat that his wild instincts are uniquely qualified to handle.
  
  Witness the journey of a lifetime. Purchase "White Fang" today and experience the power of the bond between man and beast.

  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 that most heinous of crimes is explored and dissected by the minds of our classic authors who show that the taking of another’s life in print is so real that the possibility arises that they have carried out this deed in reality.  Genius has many names.

  Singa-Pura-Pura - Malay...

  Nazry Bahrawi

  From a future of electronic doas and AI psychotherapists, sense-activated communion with forests and a portal to realms undersea, to a reimagined origin and afterlife—editor and translator Nazry Bahrawi brings together an exciting selection of never-before translated and new Malay spec-fic stories by established and emerging writers from Singapore.  
   
   
  Especially in an anglophone-dominated genre, very little of Malay speculative fiction from Singapore is known to readers here and beyond. Yet contemporary Bahasa literature here is steeped in spec-fic writing that can account as a literary movement (aliran)—and unmistakably draws from the minority Malay experience in a city obsessed with progress.
