P. 5
From the Editor
Life is often wrought with epiphanies, bewilderments, and eye-openers. If
the path that we tread along is not adorned with twists and turns, life becomes a
bed of boredom. The intent behind this compilation has been to carry the readers
through sudden tremors, unexpected turns, bone-chilling violence and everything
else that would make them expect the unexpected.
The authors, whose works have been chosen in this handpicked edition,
need no introduction. Authors like O.Henry, Guy de Maupassant, Anton Chekov,
Ruskin Bond, Edgar Allan Poe and so on, have been read profusely since ages. In
this book, an attempt has been made to bring together the best of their
contributions in Literature.
In this literary bouquet of perfection, I have dared to place a short story of
my own with an attempt to channelize the dormant desire in me to write. I hope
the readers would accept my trembling courage with kindness and overlook my
flaws, if any.
