  • 'Titbottoms Spectacles' by George William Curtis
  • 'The First Piano in Camp' by Samuel Davis
  • 'Mr Tolman' by Frank R. Stockton
  • 'Mrs Bullfrog' by Nathaniel Hawthorne
  • 'Against His Judgement' by Robert Grant
  • 'A Desperate Adventure' by Max Adeler
  • 'Occurence at Owl Creek' by Ambrose Bierce
  • 'The Stout Gentleman' by Washington Irving

Critic reviews
