"Miss Brill" by Katherine Mansfield, relaxing storytelling

311 - Light and scrumptious and from Philip K. Dick! Tuck into not one -- but TWO -- tales from this gripping author of speculative and science fiction.

310 - Author Saki (H. H. Munro) loved to taunt the upper class with his short stories and his readers with his twisted endings. Tuck in and enjoy how he does it.

309 - What's scarier than something safe and familiar turning into dread and doom? Now add a dash of absurdity and that's the way we complete the spooky season: with our very first story from Stephen King!

308- She had "The Demon Lover" and wondered "After twenty-five years . . . What did he do to make me promise like that?"  Tuck in for this Irish-British author's classic horror story.

307 - "That shadow on the wall . . . It's been there every night since he died." Tuck in for this ghoulish ghost story from the prim New England author who heartily embraced the "weird."

306 - Completely isolated on a tiny island, loneliness is not his only concern . . . Tuck in for "A Haunted Island" from the master of the ghost story.

305 - "It is well known that the old Manton house is haunted." (Without a doubt!) Tuck in to navigate the abrupt twists of this disquieting ghost story from this week's author, who must still be smirking from his afterlife over this one.

304 - Alcohol and cherished pets do not always mix: "One night, returning home, much intoxicated from one of my haunts . . ." Tuck in for the man of the macabre and his supernatural masterpiece.

303 - " . . . one wanted, sometimes, to be alone." But she will NOT be alone on this day! She will be plagued by a strange young man full of (good?) intentions. Tuck in for another baffling tale from the distinguished author who suffered his own woes.

302 - A Sunday afternoon in a most idyllic place, idyllic save for the loneliness of Miss Brill . . . Tuck in for this poignant (autobiographical?) story from the New Zealand author loved 'round the world despite her early passing.
