"Queen Lucia" (1920) is the first volume of E. F. Benson’s "Mapp and Lucia" 6-novel series. It is a comedy of manners, set in provincial Riseholme (Lincolnshire). Emmeline Lucas rules local society with the help of her friend Georgie Pillson, a position she fiercely protects from her rival Daisy Quantock. But this very situation is at risk, as a scandal breaks out and a famous Prima Donna arrives in the sleepy old hamlet.

Story5
The Horror Horn is set in the Swiss Alps and opens in the cosy lounge of a resort hotel, where a string ensemble strikes up with the sugary strains of Puccini. Our hero is further entertained to an unlikely yarn of savage sub-humans living near the Ungeheuerhorn, or Horror Horn, a forbidding mountain peak nearby. Next day, a skiing trip to St. Luigi in the next valley to lunch with a friend marks the start of an unexpectedly terrifying adventure. The Horror Horn is not a ghost story as such: the creatures in it are most definitely flesh and blood and they are hungry!

This witty comedy of manners is set in the quaint village of Riseholme, where the charmingly self-assured Emmeline Lucas—known as Queen Lucia—rules over the social and artistic lives of her gullible neighbors. Assisting her in these endeavors is the rather delicate Georgie Pillson, while the ...

Relatos fantásticos de gatos y trenes es un intento por reivindicar a dos criaturas que por frecuentación o excesiva confianza solemos rebajar a simples arquetipos. Los gatos y los trenes ocupan un lugar privilegiado en este libro, y no justamente por asociaciones caprichosas sino por astucias mutuas, por sincronías, por merodeos cómplices en la noche. Los narradores clásicos incluidos evidencian un destino que pocos han logrado eludir: es imposible escribir un relato habitado por felinos o ferrocarriles sin que el misterio sea el verdadero protagonista.
