  The chill of my own grave seeps into my bones as I awake.  
  Time stands still in this liminal space, a twilight hour of eternity. 
  I find myself suspended between realms of the living and the dead. 
  My past a mystery waiting to be unraveled. 
  A cryptic raven at one shoulder, an enigmatic angel at the other. 
  A malevolent darkness closes in.  
  The Raven and Angel guide me through dangers and dreams.  
  But their secrets cast shadows of doubt in my mind. 
  With each step, I descend deeper into the labyrinth of the midnight of my soul.  
  I have a chance to reclaim my life and uncover the truth. 
  I must unlock the powerful magic that lies dormant within me. 
  But I have to wonder … 
  Is it already too late? 
  Am I trapped in an endless dream? 
  Or am already dead?

  Top 10 Short Stories The -...

  Charles Dickens, Edgar Allan...

  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. 
   
  The word ‘Gothic’ may be teamed with romance but here it brings an immediate feeling of unease.  This unease, this disquiet, is sumptuously captured by ten masters of their art.
