  Diane Williams, "godmother of flash fiction" (The Paris Review), returns with thirty-three short, brilliant stories. 
   
   
   
  In Williams's stories, life is newly alive and dangerous; whether she is writing about an affair, a request for money, an afternoon in a garden, or the simple act of carrying a cake from one room to the next, she offers us beautiful and unsettling new ways of seeing everyday life. In perfectly honed sentences, with a sly and occasionally wild wit, Williams shows us how any moment of any day can open onto disappointment, pleasure, and possibility.

  A mysterious and unsolved murder has taken place on the train from Euston to Manchester. A bearded man with a cigar is sitting in the first class smoking carriage. In the next carriage a tall middle aged man and a younger woman travelling together. When the train arrives at Rugby, the smoking compartment is empty and in the next carriage the couple are also gone, but there is the corpse of a young man who has been shot through the heart.

But it is not until five years later when a mysterious letter arrives with a famous private detective that any progress can be made with the case...

  The Shadow-Line

  Written in 1915, The Shadow-Line is based upon events and experiences from twenty-seven years earlier to which Conrad returned obsessively in his fiction. A young sea captain's first command brings with it a succession of crises: his sea is becalmed, the crew laid low by fever, and his deranged first mate is convinced that the ship is haunted by the malignant spirit of a previous captain.This is indeed a work full of "sudden passions," in which Conrad is able to show how the full intensity of existence can be experienced by the man who, in the words of the older Captain Giles, is prepared to "stand up to his bad luck, to his mistakes, to his conscience." A subtle and penetrating analysis of the nature of manhood, The Shadow-Line investigates varieties of masculinity and desire in a subtext that counters the tale's seemingly conventional surface

  Imprisoned With the Pharaohs & Other Stories. HP Lovecraft is a modern master of horror. This collection is mainly centered on Imprisoned With The Pharaohs. It’s a very detailed work taking place in Egypt.  Rightly acknowledged as a classic it combines all the best elements of Lovecraft, Religion, Gods, Visions and other worldly experience. Never having visited Egypt Lovecraft certainly invents one we recognise though seen through his eyes one we are glad only takes place on the page.
