"Great American Mystery Stories of the Twentieth Century presents an impressive array of writers. These literary sleuths - American writers who hail from all over the United States and even abroad - offer stories that reflect the varied experiences of a vast and culturally diverse country. The authors in this collection have garnered innumerable honors, from myriad awards conferred by their own mystery-writing colleagues to the Nobel Prize in Literature; they all share the writer's greatest reward, however, the broad readership and popular acclaim that can only come from creating superb, entertaining tales. Some of these mystery masters have left an indelible mark on the reading public by creating characters that have entered the national consciousness. The Saint, Lew Archer, Travis McGee, Uncle Abner - these names are real to mystery aficionados who know them well and have learned much about life from them. Other writers have given birth to characters who live only in one brief tale, making readers regret that they won't meet them again. Although the modern American mystery story has only recently gained respectability as the subject of academic study, the genre is an integral part of this country's literature. In fact, it stands at the very center of a markedly American literary offering, the short story. Edgar Allan Poe, the creator of the short story form, based the world's first mystery tale on the crime story, a style of fiction that originally appeared in the beginning of the nineteenth century. He enhanced the elements in these negligible stories with such genius that he lifted his own tales to the level of art. Poe's "The Murder in the Rue Morgue," first published in 1841, has been called by one critic "the single most important story in the history of the genre." Subsequent literary detectives may have occasionally felt daunted by following the mystery story's inimitable forefather; still, they have made their own distinctive contributions to this uniquely American literary form. Among them, the twenty-three writers in this anthology of American mystery masterpieces have written hundreds of memorable stories. Choosing the writers - not to mention the stories - from a national treasure of literary excellence was indeed difficult. The sheer number of outstanding American mystery stories offers endless hours of reading pleasure. To this day, superlative writers apply their varied skills to the genre first explored by Edgar Allan Poe. Readers new to this literary terrain will enjoy finding their way to some of mystery's hidden corners - as well as its landmarks. - The Editors" - from the Preliminary Page.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - This is a collection of twenty-four short stories that I wrote over the course of twelve months. In October of 2019 I challenged myself to writing two short stories a month. Initially I never intended to share them. However, a few months in I started to share them on two different websites (Medium & DeviantArt). It should be noted that 20 of the first drafts are posted online. What is in this book are those 20 fully flushed out along with 4 new ones only available here. They got more attention than I had predicted, I got a lot of great feedback and some not so great. All of it was taken in stride and, I would say it was a great learning experience. No as far as the quality of the writing I'll leave that up to you and your better judgement.Stories in this book as listed chronologically, oldest to newest. Some of them are autobiographical works of fiction. But most of them are just pure fiction. Trying my best to spread my wings and work within genres I normally don't work in. There is a good chance that many of these will become full-fledged novels I feel like some of my best work is here.There is a running theme that ties all these stories together despite their differences. To me it's horribly obvious, but then again, I wrote it that way. Anyway, I hope you enjoy at least one of these.…
