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 our classic authors share their narratives in the form of letters to create both intimacy and the knowing that the events unfolding, line by line, will bring both knowledge and revelation in very short order. 01 - Top Ten Stories - Epistolary - An Introduction 2 - Diary of a Madman by Nikolai Gogol 3 - Le Horla by Guy de Maupassant 4 - The Story of B 24 by Arthur Conan Doyle 5 - Eve's Diary by Mark Twain 6 - Diary of a Plain Girl by Amy Levy 7 - The Diary of a God by Barry Pain 8 - The Truth, the Whole Truth and Nothing But the Truth by Rhoda Broughton 9 - Morphine by Mikhail Bulgakov 10 - The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman 11 - Dionea - Part 1 by Vernon Lee 12 - Dionea - Part 2 by Vernon LeeMostra libro
Many of us are cautious around dogs. However friendly they seem their energy and open panting jaws seem to summon some primitive instinct within us to be aware. Once we advance to wolves those fears become rather more persuasive. Their wild and seemingly vicious, determined natures can induce panic in even the most foolhardy of us. Nature admires winners. From there it is but a short step to the supernatural evil of Werewolves. Now fear is definitely the thing we feel pulsing through our veins summoning a flight response. But no matter what our hopes are werewolves, whether real or in the imaginations of this cast of chilling unrepentant authors, stroke knowing chords of terror into every sentence, as the pages turn our uneasiness begins to escalate. Terror begins to track our every step. With such literary craftsmen as Saki, Hugh Walpole, Ambrose Bierce, Rudyard Kipling, Arthur Conan Doyle and others, that feeling happens time and time again. 1 - Werewolves - A Short Story Collection - An Introduction 2 - Mark of the Beast by Rudyard Kipling 3 - A Pastoral Horror by Arthur Conan Doyle 4 - Gabriel-Ernest by Saki 5 - The Eyes of the Panther by Ambrose Bierce 6 - Tarnhelm or The Death of My Uncle Robert by Hugh Walpole 7 - The She-Wolf by Saki 8 - Vampirismus or Aurelia by E T A Hoffman 9 - TheThing in the Forest by Bernard Capes 10 - A Story of a Weir-Wolf by Catherine Crowe 11 - The Lame Priest by Susan Morrow writing as S Carleton 12 - Alymer Vance & The Vampire by Alice and Claude AskewMostra libro
PRESS RELEASE: Brendon is a world-renowned children's specialist and has worked as a musician, songwriter, television presenter, and comedian. Now, in his first book for grown-ups, he explores what it means to keep childlike wonder alive in our adult years. He candidly explores the losses and wins he's had throughout his own varied, happy, sad, tragic, and everything in between life. He also delves into a life of hope with God versus a life of abject futility and lostness without Him. If this book had a subtitle it would read 'Navigating the truth when you've been living a lifelong lie'. Whether we believe or don't believe, Brendon's sincere hope is that by sharing some of his bigger messes, it might help all of us continue to ask, seek, knock so we can all walk through an open door of love, peace, and joy no matter our age, stage or phase.
