Some said a later will of the Squire's had been found, some said a will of Joe Trevlyn's, some that it was now discovered the estate could only descend in the direct male line, and consequently it had been Rupert's all along. Chattaway was in a raging fever, it preyed upon him, and turned his days to darkness. He seemed to look upon Rupert with the most intense suspicion, as if it were from him alone -- his plotting and working -- that the evi...

There came, scuffling along the field-path from the village, as fast as her dilapidated shoes permitted her, a wan-looking, undersized girl. She had almost reached the pond, when a boy considerably taller and stronger than the boy on the stile came flying down the field on the left, and planted himself in her way."Now then, little toad! Do you want another buffeting?"Oh, please, sir, don't stop me!" she cried, beginning to sob loudly. "Father'...

Daniel Thwaite sent the letter via her mother: My Dearest, This letter if it reaches you at all will be given to you by your mother, who will have read it. It is sent to her open that she may see what I say to you. She sent for me and I went to her this evening, and she told me that it was impossible that I should ever be your husband. I was so bold as to tell her ladyship that there could be no impossibility. When you are of age you can walk ...

Women have often been hardly used by men, but perhaps no harder usage, no fiercer cruelty was ever experienced by a woman than that which fell to the lot of Josephine Murray from the hands of Earl Lovel, to whom she was married in the parish church of Applethwaite, -- a parish without a village, lying among the mountains of Cumberland, -- on the 1st of June, 181-. That her marriage was valid according to all the forms of the Church, if Lord Lo...

Only be too glad, Jack, " said Oldstone. "Out with it, there is nothing like a good story to beguile the time in weather like this."Our host, thus encouraged, drew his chair close to the fire, and his example was immediately followed by his guests. Then, refilling his yard of clay and lighting it in the fire, he gave one or two preliminary whiffs, and commenced his story thus: --Well, gentlemen, when I was a youngster, that is to say, a lad of...

A small clique or brotherhood, known as "The Wonder Club, " had been nightly in the habit of assembling here for years, and this served to bring grist to the mill. Some of the eminent men from the neighboring village, among whom were the doctor, the lawyer, an antiquary, an analytical chemist, and others, had formed among themselves a club, which was to consist only of very choice spirits, like themselves, and if any guest were introduced amon...

E.T.A. Hoffmann was an enormous talent writing long before the market for weird fiction came into focus. One of the first great horror magazines -- Weird Tales -- stole the title of this two-volume collection without so much as a note of thanks! Anyway, if you like weird fiction (probably a better word for the genre than horror than horror), you'll love Hoffmann's Weird Tales.

One big name per story is usually considered to be sufficient. So when two of them appear in one by-line, it can certainly be called a scoop, so that's what we'll call it. H. L. Gold and science-fiction go together like a blonde and a henna rinse. Robert Krepps is also big time. You may know him also under his other label -- Geoff St. Reynard, but a Krepps by any name can write as well.H.L. Gold is mostly remembered nowadays as the editor who ...

Little Miss Twinkle fell asleep just outside the badger's hole, watching to see what would happen when he faced the trap her father had laid for him. Then, with a start, she opened her eyes again, and saw the trap and the woodchuck hole just as they were before. Not quite, though, come to look carefully. The hole seemed to be bigger than at first, yes, strange as it might seem, the hole was growing bigger every minute! She watched it with much...

The cruiser vanished back into hyperspace and he was alone in the observation bubble, ten thousand lightyears beyond the galaxy's outermost sun. He looked out the windows at the gigantic sea of emptiness around him and wondered again what the danger had been that had so terrified the men before him.Of one thing he was already certain, he would find that nothing was waiting outside the bubble to kill him. The first bubble attendant had committe...

Hamilton was a thoughtful SF writer, and you can surely see that here: this is the tale of a man dead in space for centuries -- and revived by folks who approach an alien world a lot the way out nuttier environmentalists approach the defense of trees. There are creatures on this alien world, see, that look like people -- and act like chimpanzees. But chimps are animals, aren't they? Aren't they. . . ?
