Summary

In 'Routledge Rides Alone,' Will Levington Comfort crafts a profound exploration of solitude and self-discovery set against the backdrop of the American West. Through vivid imagery and a poetic, introspective writing style, Comfort delves into the psyche of his protagonist, guiding readers through a journey marked by both external landscapes and internal struggles. This novel not only reflects the trials of individualism in the early 20th century but also serves as a commentary on the quintessential American experience of seeking one's identity amid the vastness of nature and society. Comfort, a noted writer and journalist of his time, possessed a deep reverence for nature and an understanding of the human condition. Inspired by his experiences as a traveler and an observer of varied human landscapes, Comfort's insights probe the complexities of solitude and connection. His background in philosophy and literary traditions enriches the narrative, providing a layered context that resonates with readers seeking deeper understanding of personal and collective journeys. This compelling work is a must-read for anyone interested in themes of isolation, the quest for identity, and the beauty of the natural world as a backdrop for introspection. 'Routledge Rides Alone' invites readers to not only experience the protagonist's challenges but also to reflect on their own paths of self-discovery.

    The fortune teller said if I chose love, then I’d lose everything… 
    ‘If you want everyone you love to stay safe, you must walk away.’ The fortune teller told me my fate. But I ignored her. I married the man of my dreams. We made a family. A life that’s beautiful, safe and happy. 
    I’ve tried to forget that hazy, sunny afternoon in the park, where we spotted a funfair setting up, and my best friends and I dared each other to go into the fortune teller’s tent… 
    I’ve pushed it to the back of my mind: what she said about the tragedy that lay ahead for me. I want to believe that we are in charge of our own fate. Looking at my two perfect, beautiful children, I refuse to believe things could go wrong for us. 
    But as strange things begin to happen, I begin to wonder… could there be any truth behind what the fortune teller told me that day? And if not, who could want me to be scared for my life? And how do I protect my beloved family from the worst fate imaginable? 
    A totally gripping psychological thriller that fans of Gone Girl, The Housemaid and K.L. Slater will be utterly hooked by.

    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. 
     
    This decade is resplendent with literature and its many prodigiously talented authors who write on as varied a range of subjects as might be thought possible. Yet each is studded with careful literary precision and narrative verve.  It is a remarkable decade.
