  "Fat and Thin" is a satirical short story by Anton Chekhov, first published in the No. 40, 1 October 1883 issue of Oskolki magazine, signed A. Chekhonte (А. Чехонте). The plot of the short story "Fat and Thin" in its original version was based on an anecdote, and the conflict between the characters arose accidentally, due to the involuntary oversight of the "Thin". At a railway station the fat one, Mischa, accidentally meets the thin one, Porfiri. The thin man travels accompanied by his wife and son. The two old school friends greet each other in an exuberant and informal manner. A conversation follows, and it is about careers of both of them as government officials.

  "The Fir-Tree" is a literary fairy tale by the Danish poet and author Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875). The tale is about a fir tree so anxious to grow up, so anxious for greater things, that he cannot appreciate living in the moment. The tale was first published 21 December 1844 with "The Snow Queen", in Copenhagen, Denmark, by C.A. Reitzel. One scholar (Andersen biographer Jackie Wullschlager) indicates that "The Fir-Tree" was the first of Andersen's fairy tales to express a deep pessimism.

  A forbidden experiment. A woman transformed. A horror that slips quietly into the world—and never leaves.
  When a scientist conducts a dangerous ritual meant to lift the veil between worlds, he unleashes something ancient, wild, and terrifying. Years later, strange deaths, dark rumors, and a mysterious young woman begin to weave together into a truth too monstrous to comprehend. As the shadows deepen, those who seek answers find themselves staring into the face of a myth that was never meant for human eyes.
  
  Celebrated as "one of the most disturbing works of supernatural fiction ever written," Machen's novella influenced writers like H. P. Lovecraft and remains a cornerstone of cosmic and psychological horror. Its unsettling atmosphere and slow, creeping dread continue to haunt readers over a century later.
  
  If you love eerie mysteries, gothic tension, and stories that linger in the mind long after the final page, this classic will grip you with its quiet, devastating power.
  
  Open the book—if you dare—and glimpse the terror behind the world you think you know.
