As a general rule we are a trusting lot. You say something and, whilst I might disagree, I believe you are acting in good faith. Of course this may be just the beginning of a ruse. If I trust you I might let down my guard, I might seek to share and to create a bond between us. But, if you can’t be trusted, if you have an ulterior motive I might lose out. In the hands of authors such as Maxim Gorky, Ella D’Arcy, Rudyard Kipling, Ivan Turgenev and may others reality may not be what it quite seems. 1 - Short Stories About Trickery & Deception - An Introduction 2 - The Man Who Would Be King - Part 1 by Rudyard Kipling 3 - The Man Who Would Be King - Part 2 by Rudyard Kipling 4 - Chelkash - Part 1 by Maxim Gorky 5 - Chelkash - Part 2 by Maxim Gorky 6 - Chelkash - Part 3 by Maxim Gorky 7 - Souls Belated by Edith Wharton 8 - The She-Wolf by Saki 9 - Jeff Peters as a Personal Magnet by O Henry 10 - The Wooing of Pastor Cummings by Georgia F Stewart 11 - Mrs Packletide's Tiger by Saki 12 - As the Crow Flies by John Davys Beresford 13 - The Rats in the Walls by H P Lovecraft 14 - The District Doctor by Ivan Turgenev 15 - Irremediable by Ella D'Arcy 16 - The Connoisseur by Perceval Gibbon 17 - The Kiss by Kate Chopin 18 - The Hired Baby, A Romance of the London Streets by Mary Mackay writing as Marie Corelli 19 - The Open Window by Saki 20 - Revenge by Samuel Blas 21 - Cheating The Gallows by Israel Zangwill 22 - Putois by Anatole France 23 - Post Mortem by Barry Pain |
