Summary

Though best known for The Red Badge of Courage, his classic novel of men at war, in his tragically brief life and career Stephen Crane produced a wealth of stories—among them "The Monster," "The Upturned Face," "The Open Boat," and the title story—that stand among the most acclaimed and enduring in the history of American fiction. This superb volume collects stories of unique power and variety in which impressionistic, hallucinatory, and realistic situations alike are brilliantly conveyed through the cold, sometimes brutal irony of Crane's narrative voice.

But her father's financial planner, Clay, can't understand why she's not content with her current situation. Georgie determines to send out a notice as a mail order bride to attract suitors who won't know her financial situation.

Dr. Joe Chandler has waited years for a wife with the knowledge, skills, and tender heart he yearns for in a medical colleague and lifetime companion. When a midwife arrives with more expertise and secrets than he counted on, Joe quickly discovers there's more to love and marriage than a simple mail order contract. In THE SOUND OF HOME, a captivating novella by Annette Lyon, Marilyn is given the choice of either marrying the despicable Victor or being charged with a murder she didn't commit.

Moments after her arrival, she learns that Harry isn't who he seemed to be, and the advertisement turns out to be a giant mistake.

    The tale of a necrophiliac whose preferences are not understood by the owners of successive funeral homes employing him.The original title was 'Beloved Dead.' The story differs significantly from C. M. Eddy's previous two works that Lovecraft had improved. He had to intervene extensively in the narrative, perhaps even writing the entire text anew. This is evident, especially in the language of the piece, rich in epithets and typical expressions for Lovecraft.
