The short story is often viewed as an inferior relation to the Novel. But it is an art in itself. To take a story and distil its essence into fewer pages while keeping character and plot rounded and driven is not an easy task. Many try and many fail. In this series we look at short stories from many of our most accomplished writers. Miniature masterpieces with a lot to say. In this volume we examine some of the short stories from our many masters (and mistresses) of terror. GOTHIC TALES OF TERROR - VOLUME 7. This collection of short stories contains several gothic tales to bear macabre and chilling witness to writers as diverse as Rudyard Kipling, Guy De Maupassant, Edgar Allan Poe, Arnold Bennett, Daniel Defoe, Edith Nesbit and MR James. These tales are designed to unsettle you, just a little, as you sit back, and take in their words as they lead you on a walk to places youd perhaps rather not visit on your own. Our stories are My Own True Ghost Story by Rudyard Kipling, The Horla by Guy De Maupassant, The Tell Tale Heart by Edgar Allan Poe, Phantom by Arnold Bennett, The Apparition Of Mrs Veal by Daniel Defoe, The Power Of Darkness by Edith Nesbit and A Warning To The Curious by MR James. These stories are read for you by many readers including Ian Holm, Bill Wallis, Ghizela Rowe and Richard Mitchley. Many of these stories are also available as an audiobook from our sister company Word Of Mouth. Many samples are at our youtube channel http://www.youtube.com/user/PortablePoetry?feature=mhee The full volume can be purchased from iTunes, Amazon and other digital stores. They are read for you by Ian Holm, Bill Wallis, Ghizela Rowe and Richard Mitchley
