A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme. Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made. If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost people will shrug at the name of ‘Barry Pain’, if you are one of them you are in for a treat. Pain was a brilliant storyteller who took on difficult issues and situations and handled each with aplomb and a knowing way that only true talent can.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e01 - The Top 10 - Barry Pain - An Introduction\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e02 - The Diary of a God by Barry Pain\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e03 - The Act of Heroism by Barry Pain\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e04 - The Case of Vincent Pyrwhit by Barry Pain\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e05 - The Green Light by Barry Pain\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e06 - The Magnet by Barry Pain\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e07 - The End of a Show by Barry Pain\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e08 - A Complete Recovery by Barry Pain\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e09 - The Extermination by Barry Pain\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e10 - Murder, from The Memoirs of Constantine Dix by Barry Pain\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e11 - Post Mortem by Barry Pain\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Deadtree Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44118995959886,"sku":"AB-541877","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1194\/4786\/files\/9781803541877.jpg?v=1786000286","url":"https:\/\/www.deadtreepublishing.com\/products\/the-top-10-short-stories-barry-pain","provider":"Deadtree Publishing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
