  Louisa May Alcott’s Aunt Kipp is a warm and witty tale of family trials, truth-telling children, and the reform of a difficult relative. 
  Polly Snow, her frail mother, and her mischievous younger brother “Toady” struggle to make ends meet while depending on the uncertain goodwill of their wealthy but domineering Aunt Kipp. With her towering black bonnet, sharp tongue, and constant reminders of her fragile health, Aunt Kipp seems to hold her fortune—and their future—over them like a storm cloud. But through humor, honesty, and unexpected affection, this domestic comedy reveals the power of kindness and change of heart. 
  Filled with Alcott’s trademark blend of sentiment, humor, and social observation, Aunt Kipp is both a sharp portrait of Victorian family life and a heartwarming reminder that it’s never too late to love and be loved.

  "The Canterville Ghost" The first of Wilde's stories to be published, appearing in the magazine The Court and Society Review in February 1887. When a family from the United States buys Canterville Chase, they are told it is haunted by a horrible spirit, but this does not deter them in the slightest. Indeed, when they find a recurring blood stain on the floor, and hear creaking chains in the night, even seeing the ghost himself, all they do is clean up the blood and insist that the ghost oil his manacles if he is going to keep living in the house. This perturbs the ghost to no end, and he does everything he can to try to frighten the family.

  "The Call of Cthulhu" is one of H. P. Lovecraft's best-known short stories. Written in the summer of 1926, it was first published in Weird Tales, February 1928. It is the only story written by Lovecraft in which the extraterrestrial entity Cthulhu himself makes a major appearance. It is written in a documentary style, with three independent narratives linked together by the device of a narrator discovering notes left by a deceased relative. The narrator pieces together the whole truth and disturbing significance of the information he possesses, illustrating the story's first line: "The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity; and it was not meant that we should voyage far."
