| 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 beings of a spectral kind come to visit and offer us their stories through the pens of such literary masters as M R James, Edith Nesbit, W W Jacobs, William Hope Hodgson and many others can. The excellence of their story-telling craft makes each story a journey into certain and unsettling fear. 1 - The Top 10 Short Stories - 20th Century Ghost Stories - An Introduction 2 - They by Rudyard Kipling 3 - The Power of Darkness by Edith Nesbit 4 - The Border Line by D H Lawrence 5 - The Empty House by Algernon Blackwood 6 - The Eyes by Edith Wharton 7 - The Judge's House by Bram Stoker 8 - Oh Whistle and I'll Come to You My Lad by M R James 9 - Three Sisters by W W Jacobs 10 - Thurnley Abbey by Perceval Landon 11 - The Voice in the Night by William Hope Hodgson |
