This carefully crafted ebook: "Premium Short Stories Collection - Blackmailing, Crank, Spook & Classic Tales" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents.Edward Frederic Benson (1867-1940) was an English novelist, biographer, memoirist, archaeologist and short story writer, known professionally as E.F. Benson. He started his novel writing career in 1893 with the fashionably controversial Dodo, which was an instant success, and followed it with a variety of satire and romantic and supernatural melodrama. He repeated the success of Dodo, with sequels to this novel, but the greatest success came relatively late in his career with The Mapp and Lucia series consisting of six novels and two short stories. The novels feature humorous incidents in the lives of (mainly) upper-middle-class British people in the 1920s and 1930s, vying for social prestige and one-upmanship in an atmosphere of extreme cultural snobbery. Benson was also known as a writer of atmospheric, oblique, and at times humorous or satirical ghost stories.Table of Contents:The Room in the Tower, and Other StoriesThe Room in the TowerGavon's EveThe Dust-CloudThe Confession of Charles LinkworthAt Abdul Ali's GraveThe Shootings of AchnaleishHow Fear Departed from the Long GalleryCaterpillarsThe CatThe Bus-ConductorThe Man Who Went Too FarBetween the LightsOutside the DoorThe Other BedThe Thing in the HallThe House with the Brick-KilnThe Terror by NightThe Countess of Lowndes Square, and Other StoriesBLACKMAILING STORIESThe Countess of Lowndes SquareThe Blackmailer of Park LaneGENERAL STORIESThe Dance on the BeefsteakThe OriolistIn the DarkThe False StepCAT STORIES"Puss-cat"There Arose a KingCRANK STORIESThe Tragedy of Oliver BowmanPhilip's Safety RazorSPOOK STORIESThe Case of Frank HampdenMrs. Andrews's ControlThe Ape"Through"
