| 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 small corner of the United States there is to be found a part of America that is both recognizable and yet distinct and of itself. Whilst others pushed Westward these authors found much amongst their experiences that detailed and charted the world around them. These are their stories. 1 - The Top 10 - US Authors of New England - An Introduction 2 - The Yellow Wall Paper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman 3 - The Tell Tale Heart by Edgar Allan Poe 4 - The Color Out of Space by H P Lovecraft 5 - Conversation on Conversation by Harriet Beecher Stowe 6 - Young Goodman Brown by Nathaniel Hawthorne 7 - The Tachypomp by Edward Page Mitchell 8 - A White Heron by Sarah Orne Jewett 9 - The Man Without a Country by Edward Everett Hale 10 - A Responsibility by Henry Harland 11 - A New England Nun by Mary E Wilkins Freeman |
