  "The Scarlet Plague" by Jack London is a haunting dystopian novella first published in 1912. Set in a post-apocalyptic future, the story unfolds in the year 2073, sixty years after a devastating pandemic known as the Scarlet Plague wipes out most of humanity. Told through the perspective of an elderly survivor, James Howard Smith, the narrative recounts the collapse of civilization as he shares his memories with his grandsons, who struggle to comprehend the advanced world that once was. 
  With vivid imagery and profound social commentary, London explores themes of human fragility, the loss of knowledge, and the cyclical nature of history. This short yet powerful tale serves as a timeless reflection on the consequences of societal hubris and the enduring spirit of survival.

  Top 10 Short Stories The -...

  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 we examine Gothic short stories from the woman’s point of view.  More usually in this genre the main examples are almost always given as male.  Well, in this volume we prove that view needs severely testing.  Here we explore works by classic women authors who, with the sheer breadth of their talents and narratives, can make mere men seem tame by comparison.
