A premier anthology of some of the finest mystery stories in literary history, including tales from Bradbury, Dahl, Huxley, O. Henry, and Twain.
Tantalizing, as ingenious as they are devious, the classic stories in this continually arresting collection come with an irresistible challenge: At their end they leave it to you, the reader, to determine how they end.
For ultimately itâs the reader who authors the fate of the brave youth as he contemplates which of the two doors in the kingâs arena he will choose in Frank Stocktonâs famous and unforgettable âThe Lady, or the Tiger?â And which of the two brothers in three-time Edgar-winner Stanley Ellinâs âUnreasonable Doubtâ shoots a bullet square in the middle of their rich uncleâs forehead? And just what not-so-sweet secret is the prim Miss Spence hiding behind her smile in Aldous Huxleyâs deliciously enigmatic tale? you decide.
In all, as in âThe Moment of Decisionâ?a chilling tale that seals an escape artist inside an airless stone cell with a heavy wooden door, which may or may not open?the moment of decision is yours.
