    Science, better diet, advanced medicines are all part of a process that in the modern age keep most of us going to a ripe old age. 
     
    In previous times some diseases could only be slowed and not defeated. There toil of relentless attack on our physical forms brought misery and decay.   
     
    Add to this that within our number some will self-destruct, demons will pursue their inner thoughts and life will be too painful to bear. Some may shuffle off the mortal coil for no discernible reason, but life will end early, they will not take up their three-score year and ten. 
     
    In this collection of short stories some of our most popular and well-known authors are grouped together with an unfortunate tag: dead at 46. 
     
    These authors are not run-of-the-mill or ten a penny; many are literary leviathans who left enduring works of literature and sadly may have left us many more had they lived. We will never know. 
     
    Death for these authors was usually due to many health issues but primarily:— 
    Oscar Wilde — Meningitis 
    George Gissing — General ill health left him unable to recover from a chill  
    H P Lovecraft — Cancer 
    Mary Webb — Unknown but she had been in increasingly bad health for some time 
    Perceval Gibbon — Cause of death unknown

    The Cat is an odd story about a young man who suffers a severe shock reaction to the unexpected ending of his engagement. Initially he is thrown into a deep depression which lasts several months, but then all of a sudden something snaps in his brain and he undergoes a phenomenal transformation.Not only does his depression leave him, but he becomes suddenly upbeat and sees the world in richer colours and with greater clarity. Moreover, he develops an unprecedented genius for portrait painting which makes him famous overnight. But then his ex-fiancée asks him to finish the portrait he has started of her.At first he copes well with the renewed acquaintance, but he becomes increasingly frustrated at his inability to capture the cat-like quality of his former beloved's eyes. He repairs to his retreat in the country to concentrate on the background of the portrait, but there he encounters a grey cat whose eyes are uncannily reminiscent of those of his lover.Edward Frederic Benson (1867 - 1940) was an English novelist, biographer, memoirist, archaeologist and short story writer, best known as the true master of the gothic ghost story.
