Sinopse

Inspired by our native landscapes, saturated by the shadows beneath trees and behind doors, listening to the run of water and half-heard voices, Tom Cox s first collection of short stories is a series of evocative and unsettling trips into worlds previously visited by the likes of M. R. James and E. F. Benson.
Railway tunnels, the lanes and hills of the Peak District, family homes, old stones, shreds fluttering on barbed wire, night drawing in, something that might be an animal shifting on the other side of a hedge: Tom has drawn on his life-long love of weird fiction, folklore and nature s unregarded corners to write a collection of stories that will delight fans old and new, and leave them very uneasy about turning the reading lamp off.

    "Glad you are open-minded most people just say I'm mad to believe in the star people!" said the Chicken. 
    "I believe in aliens!" said Blake. "You do?" said the Chicken his eyes widening. 
    "Of course we are aliens how could I not believe in us?" said the not-so-human Blake. 
    "I am not a Flat Earther or a hollow Earther. Nobody lives in the center of any planet," said Blake. 
    "Blake the Star People are real!" said the Masked Chicken. "No they aren't real still!" said Blake. 
    The Chicken pushed a News Paper at Blake."Aliens from the center of the Earth take the Human race to court for ownership of the planet!" Blake read. "Did you get this made as a joke?" asked Blake. "I never thought I'd say this to anyone!" Blake said, "Take me to your leader?" 
    "Who are you human I don't bother my leader with the rabble," said the star person.. 
    "I am Alexandrite Argent the Chief Justice of Sapphirus Argent," said Blake. 
    "Whose that?" asked the star person. "He's my Grandfather he's only the Emperor of the Universe!" 
    said Blake getting impatient with the star person. "I will judge your case," said Blake. 
    "You are biased," said the supreme leader."Yes but without me, your case cannot be legally judged I am the only one who can judge Planetary cases," said Blake. "What's wrong with him," said the supreme leader seeing Lance's Emo son. 
    "Oh him he's just the Prince of Darkness," said Lance off-handedly. "Hey!" snapped the offended Emo. "Why are everyone happy these strangers want to evict humans from the Earth?" Jnr asked. 
    "It's our planet!" said the Supreme Leader.Narrators: Rachel Lawson as main narrator, Addison Fell as Alexa in Bad Omens,

    Six has always been a number we group things around – Six of the best, six of one half a dozen of another, six feet under, six pack, six degrees of separation and a sixth sense are but a few of the ways we use this number. 
     
    Such is its popularity that we thought it is also a very good way of challenging and investigating an author’s work to give width, brevity, humour and depth across six of their very best. 
     
    In this series we gather together authors whose short stories both rivet the attention and inspire the imagination to visit their gems in a series of six, to roam across an author’s legacy in a few short hours and gain a greater understanding of their writing and, of course, to be lavishly entertained by their ideas, their narrative and their way with words. 
     
    These stories can be surprising and sometimes at a tangent to what we expected, but each is fully formed and a marvellous adventure into the world and words of a literary master.

    Foreordained - From their pens...

    Sir Anthony Hope Hawkins was born on 9th February 1863 in Clapton, London.  
    He was educated at St John's School, Leatherhead, Marlborough College and Balliol College, Oxford.  Hope trained as a lawyer and barrister and was called to the Bar by the Middle Temple in 1887. Despite what was thought to be a promising legal career he had literary ambitions and wrote in his spare time. 
    His early works appeared in various periodicals of the day but for his first book ‘A Man of Mark’ (1890), with no publisher interested, he published with his own resources.  
    More novels and short stories followed, including the mildly successful ‘Mr Witt's Widow’ in 1892. Hope even found time to run as the Liberal candidate for Wycombe in the election that same year but was unsuccessful. 
    His first major literary success came with ‘The Dolly Dialogues’, a collection of previously published magazine pieces followed very quickly by his instant classic, ‘The Prisoner of Zenda’. He now gave up the vestiges of his legal career to pursue writing full-time. 
    Despite never again reaching the same pinnacle of success he was popular and wrote prolifically across novels, plays and of course, short stories though his writing output rapidly diminished after the war. 
    In 1918 he was knighted for his contribution to propaganda efforts during World War I.  
    His short stories are delicate, mannered and often surprising with their wit, humour and interplay of characters who say one thing and usually mean another.  He was very definitely a writer of escapist rather than serious fare but they are no less enjoyable for that. 
    Anthony Hope died of throat cancer on 8th July 1933 at his country home, Heath Farm at Walton-on-the-Hill in Surrey. He was 70.
