The origin of this book is due to a short story competition "Short Stories to Tell" on the occasion of the English Language Day, framed within a programme of activities developed by the Language Centre of the University of Almeria and the Vice-Rectorate for Communication and University Extension. Those responsible for this activity are the lecturers of the Department of Philology Rosario Lisciandro and María del Mar Palenzuela Pérez in collaboration with Tim Spratt, teacher of the Language Centre. The book is made up of 29 stories in English whose authors are students and lovers of the English language. The stories are original and have been selected by a jury. The thematic variety of the stories gives the book an interesting, entertaining, heterogeneous and culturally diverse character. Moreover, the cultural and nationality diversity of the authors gives the book a distinctive element.

Short Story Press Presents Lies We Tell One Another by Don Codner A woman that was living a normal, mundane existence with her fiancé is thrust into a world that she isn’t equipped to deal with. Her life is shattered, and she must pick up the pieces with the help of a strange man that appears in her room. • Samantha is a woman that finds herself attacked by what she can only describe as a Werewolf. • After the attack, she is taken to the hospital, where she meets an old man who can answer her questions. • She finds out the bite of the wolf will transform her into something that is no longer human. • Samantha is given a way to suppress the change, and she begins to learn what goes bump in the night. The lies we tell one another are going to be cold comfort for her on her quest of vengeance. • There is very little chance to train, as the werewolf and its pack are about to leave. • This will be a journey that is fraught with danger and unpredictable, because the wolves know that she is coming and are ready for her, or so they think. • It will be a learning experience for Samantha, as she comes to terms with what she is and what she can do. • Her life is turned upside down, and all she sees is the bloodlust to find the wolf responsible for all that she’s endured. The time for words is over, now she and the old man are on a trail of a killer that has been known forever, but no one actually knew they existed. Now, Samantha is about to find out first hand that things are not what they appear. This fight will not be without casualties, but will it be their lives, or the wolves’, that are lost?

This vintage book contains Edgar Allen Poe’s 1843 short story, “The Tell-Tale Heart". An anonymous narrator recounts a murder that he has committed, detailing how he carefully dismembered the body and concealed it underneath the floorboards. His endeavours, however, are threatened when his guilt and insanity take on the form of a hallucination that the victim’s heart is still beating from beneath the floor. Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849) was an American author, editor, poet, and critic. Most famous for his stories of mystery and horror, he was one of the first American short story writers, and is widely considered to be the inventor of the detective fiction genre. Many antiquarian books such as this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
