I really enjoyed several of these stories including a few of my favorites that I have read in other collections are "The Cask of Amontillado" by Edgar Allan Poe, "The Remarkable Case of Davidson's Eyes by H. G. Wells, and the "Sphinx Without a Secret" by Oscar Wilde. Some new ones I liked are "An Occurance at Owl Bridge" by Ambrose Bierce, "A Pair of Silk Stockings" by Kate Chopin, "The Luck of Roaring Camp" by Bret Harte, "Wee Willie Winkie" by Rudyard Kipling, "Sanctuary" by Nella Larson and "The Three Hermits" by Leo Tolstoy.
