| | Amazon.co.uk: Books: Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Dead Men Diaries: A Short Story Collection |
| | The best of ten stories on offer here is Kate Orman's "Steal From The World" which sees Benny returing to a planet that she searched for an ancient race on before and a planet on which she suffered a horific accident. | | | It's a pity that this was chosen as the second story in the series, as none of the subsequent stories match it's brilliance. | | | As you'd expect from a collection of short stories from diverse hands, the quality is not consistent, but happily is generally quite high - in my view, no dud stories were included in this collection. |

| | An Unabridged Reading of the short story Dead-End Drift by Louis L'Amour |
| | This harrowing story of a real-life mine cave-in is L'Amour's fictionalized account of the last hours of four trapped miners and their courageous struggle to save themselves from certain death. | | | Dead End Drift provides a unique look at Louis L'Amour, the man and his work. | | | These collections are vividly re-created in Richard Crenna's performance of Dead End Drift, one of L'Amour's famous Yondering tales. |

| | The Ravelling - a short story by Sarah Singleton |
| | The boy was afraid of her, glancing curiously into her face as he recounted the stories, and finally, he didn't come at all. | | | The souls of the dead could linger, still wanting the comforts of their earthly homes. | | | Outside, in the fruit tree, the dead birds rose to their feet and began to sing. |

| | “The Lives of the Dead: a Critical Analysis” |
| | He compares the stories he is telling to dreaming, because he can steal the souls of the dead through a dream. | | | The mocking of death is a reoccurring theme in this story. | | | This is illustrated through the interaction of Tim and Linda, and the writer’s own reflections on the lives of the dead. |

| | SHORT STORY WRITER, NATIONAL ARTIST FRANCISCO ARCELLANA DEAD AT 85 |
| | His stories had plots intricate with twists and turns, but it was the way he wrote the stories, the words he used and how he strung them together, that set them apart as masterpieces. | | | I keep that masterpiece still, as I keep the words and all the stories that he had so beautifully and so masterfully written in a life that needed no rewriting. | | | I thought I was in love with the written word, and, like many starry eyed English majors, I had wanted to become a poet. |

| | Long story; short pier: Dream is dead. |
| | But to refer to this story as “among the most extraordinary of all time in any medium” (Gene Wolfe, but he was writing an introduction, and so we will forgive him) is silly—and more than a tad defensive. | | | Nada, a queen in prehistoric Africa, once spurned his affections; he damned her to ten thousand years in Hell, and three black women die during the course of the comic, in falling buildings and in fires, echoing the destruction of her city and her damnation. | | | He has room for not one, but three elegiac epilogues, three last shimmering echoes of the story to savor before closing the book for good. |

| | Haanpää's short stories are populated with unforgettable characters, his use of language is full of nuances and insightful observations - Haanpää is said to have used the largest vocabulary of any Finnish author. | | | His favorite character was lumberjack, whose free, but hard life, and close contact to the forces of nature, gave inspration to several of his stories. | | | He published two works, the war novel KORPISOTAA (1940), which based on his own experiences and was translated into French under the title Guerre dans le désert blanc, and NYKYAIKAA (1942), a collection of short stories. |

| | The result was Michael Fury (named after a character in James Joyce's short story, "The Dead") in 1979 who did the predictable round of club gigs throughout Canada with various additions to the lineup. | | | Personnel conflicts in 1983 suggested to the band that perhaps a break from the everyday was in order, so they split up and did various other work until reforming in 1984. | | | Hunter moved on to write original material for the likes of The Raes' Robbie Rae before hooking up with Martyn Jones (bass) and Rob Kennedy (guitar) to form a band. |
