  Step into the windswept Yorkshire moors in Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights — a story of passion, vengeance, and haunting devotion that defies time itself. 
  When the brooding orphan Heathcliff is taken in by the Earnshaw family, his deep, fierce love for Catherine Earnshaw becomes both his salvation and his ruin. Torn apart by pride and circumstance, their bond transforms into an obsession that spans generations, binding the fates of all who live at Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange. 
  Through the eyes of the outsider Mr. Lockwood and the housekeeper Nelly Dean, Brontë unravels a gothic masterpiece where love becomes indistinguishable from torment, and memory itself refuses to rest. 
   Darkly poetic and emotionally raw, Wuthering Heights remains one of the most powerful explorations of human desire and self-destruction ever written — a tale where the moors echo with the ghosts of hearts that could never let go.

  Saki's Cats

  Saki's Cats rounds up the tales about cats, big and small, by the undisputed master of the short story.
  'Tobermory', one of Saki's most famous pieces, demonstrates the danger that would ensue from granting cats the power of speech – animals have long lurked unseen, eavesdropping, in the background. The tom in 'The Philanthropist and the Happy Cat' is the only one to enjoy his meal, as is the leopard in 'The Guests'. In 'The Penance' and 'Mrs Packletide's Tiger', hunters who put cats in their sights are humiliated and blackmailed. 'The Achievement of the Cat' considers how cats have come to be served by the human race.
  In addition to the short stories about cats, Saki's Cats also collects Saki's juvenile letters to his sister Ethel about the tiger cub he adopted while living in Burma.
  The feisty felines of these tales are the only clear winners, and, with a characteristic smirk and dash of his pen, it is Edwardian Society that Saki sends slinking off, tail between its legs.

  "The Signal-Man" is a first-person horror/mystery story by Charles Dickens, first published as part of the Mugby Junction collection in the 1866 Christmas edition of All the Year Round.
  The railway signal-man of the title tells the narrator of an apparition that has been haunting him. Each spectral appearance precedes a tragic event on the railway on which the signalman works. The signalman's work is at a signal-box in a deep cutting near a tunnel entrance on a lonely stretch of the railway line, and he controls the movements of passing trains. When there is danger, his fellow signalmen alert him by telegraph and alarms. Three times, he receives phantom warnings of danger when his bell rings in a fashion that only he can hear. Each warning is followed by the appearance of the spectre, and then by a terrible accident.
