One of the most enduring themes in literature through the ages has been the internal conflict between two sides of a single character. It manifests itself in different ways, from the classic werewolf story to souls which are invaded by evil spirits to the pseudo sci-fi of Jekyll and Hyde to strange tales of total amnesia as in Barry Pain's masterpiece "The Missing Years". This collection brings together a selection of different tales, in each of which tension is created when a human soul is split into more than one part.

Beasts on the Lawn is a collection of Edwardian short stories by Saki (H. H. Munro) recycled and restaged in a modern-day gated community for the far-too-wealthy-for-their-own-good. The tales are woven together by the character of Clovis, a security guard. She recalls the events of strange days and long nights. The five stories are: "Tobermory", "The Interlopers", "Sredni Vashtar", and "Gabriel Ernest and Mrs Packletide's Tiger".

A train seems a very reliable mode to bring out the best in authors and sometimes the worst in their fictional characters. In this volume our narratives are usually set inside the carriage compartment where they are really up close and personal with each other. All our authors need to do is to light the touchpaper and stand well back.

Master storyteller H.H. Munro—better known by the pen name "Saki"—is famous for his witty, mischievous, and macabre stories of suspense. Saki specialized in impudent practical jokes, devilish trickery, and incredible yarns, and his writing became popular in the early 1900s for its witty and satirical look at the pretensions and ignorance of bourgeois English society.

Dive into the whimsical world of Saki with this enchanting collection of short stories featuring the young Clovis Sangrail, a character reminiscent of the beloved Reginald. Following the acclaimed “Reginald” and “Reginald in Russia,” this third installment offers a delightful array of tales, where familiar and new characters intertwine in clever and humorous escapades. Join Clovis as he navigates the absurdities of life with wit and charm. (Summary by Graham Redman)

BC's life was a fraud from the beginning. The worst part was her complete ignorance and innocence. Abducted, abused, and exposed to incredibly crude experiences and shocking pleasures, she was forced to grow up at a rapid pace. The people she loved, hated, and trusted were constantly lying to her. Insecurity led her to trust two dangerous characters, and to maintain their loyalty, she was forced to compromise her own morals. Would it be enough to survive? At what cost?

Our ‘fight of flight’ response is something hardwired into the primitive part of our brain. Our need to survive, to outlive whatever danger poses, that immediate threat to our lives is little short of a marvel. Everything else is abandoned in order to survive. Whilst in modern times that ability has been somewhat modified and ‘reasoned’ away to an extent, in past years it’s what usually kept you alive. In this volume people struggle valiantly to survive and to exist no matter the extent of the threat they face.

The inevitable is understood by each and every one of us who faces the final calling. So too are the effects on those left behind. The memories are there but the empty space, the void can never be refilled. It remains a dark, unreliable pit of loneliness. The sadness and often depression, the lack of will to continue may swamp us all. Unquenchable, undeniable. But loss can, after mourning, give the opportunity to reappraise the lost and how we can each move forward. In the literary world an accessible balance can be given.

Sir Lulworth Quayne discusses with his nephew the threat posed by the suffragette movement in this satirical short story by Saki. This collection of stories also includes "Tea", "The Wolves of Cernogratz" and "The Penance", which were first published in 1919 in "The Toys of Peace and Other Papers".

A witty short story in which author Augustus “Mark” Mellowkent finds himself face to face with an overzealous book salesman. Mark first appeared in The Toys of Peace and Other Papers (1919), the first posthumous publication of Saki (H. H. Munro) following his death during active duty in World War I.
