People struggling to let things go, or being completely consumed by them. It just keeps gnawing away. Really, it’s the only thing of interest in our world. If others would only see it that way, if they would only open their eyes and see things as they really are. In this volume our classic authors including Henry James, H G Wells, Anton Chekhov, Mary Shelley and others dig deeply into the narratives and characters who just can’t move on from this psychological addiction, who can’t let go of its ever present whispers. 1 - Short Stories about Obsession An Introduction2 - Reanimator - Part 1 by H P Lovecraft3 - Reanimator - Part 2 by H P Lovecraft4 - Gooseberries by Anton Chekhov5 - The Birthmark by Nathaniel Hawthorne6 - Rats by M R James7 - The Premature Burial by Edgar Allan Poe8 - Solid Objects by Virginia Woolf9 - The Altar of the Dead - Part 1 by Henry James10 - The Altar of the Dead - Part 2 by Henry James11 - The Flowering of the Strange Orchid by H G Wells12 - The Moaning Lily by Emma Vane13 - The Mortal Immortal by Mary Shelley14 - The Strength of God by Sherwood Anderson15 - The Piece of String by Guy de Maupassant16 - The Iliad of Sandy Bar by Bret Harte17 - A Pair of Silk Stockings by Kate Chopin18 - Carnivorine by Lucy Hamilton Hooper19 - The Rocking Horse Winner by D H Lawrence20 - The Tell Tale Heart by Edgar Allan Poe21 - The Death of a Government Clerk by Anton Chekhov22 - Rappaccini's Daughter - Part 1 by Nathaniel Hawthorne23 - Rappaccini's Daughter - Part 2 by Nathaniel Hawthorne
