An excellent collection of stories. I recommend this to anyone who likes to read short stories that make you think.

Brilliant

To describe this book would exhaust superlatives. From familiar favourites such as "The Tell-Tale heart" (Poe) and "What Stumped the Bluejays" (Mark Twain) to stories almost unheard of - "Eve in Darkness" (Kaatje Hurlburt) and "So Much Unfairness of Things" (C. D. B. Bryan), every one of these stories is a gem, a find, a transcending experience. I had to ration myself to one story every two days, not only to make the book last longer, but so my brain could be properly marinated in the sublime perfection of each of them. If you only ever read one set of short stories, let this be it. I cannot recommend it too strongly.

a wonderful collection

This collection of short stories is absolutely perfect. They are all classics by well-known writers. I enjoyed reading each and every one of them.
