"The Empty House" by Algernon Blackwood Note: We read another story by Algernon Blackwood a few weeks ago. We didn't much like that story, but decided then to see what his other stories were like. It will be interesting to compare the two. Also, I was able to find an audio version: http://literalsystems.org/abooks/index.php/Audio-Book/TheEmptyHouse Story url: http://ghost.new-age-spirituality.com/blackwood3a.html

The story I have chosen is actually non-fiction, and a bit macabre. Nonetheless I found it a riveting read and hope you do as well. It is on the longer side and, since we have 2 weeks maybe the 'itchy researchers' out there will turn up more information about the story and the author.

"The Man in a Case" by Anton Checkov Story url: http://ebooks.adelaide.edu.au/c/chekhov/anton/c51wif/chap6.html With this classic author in Russian Literature, I will give you fair warning this is a more challenging read - leave yourself adequate time. The last time we did a chat on a story by Checkov - it was January 2008 - and we had a GREAT chat (so says the log and forum) ... so don't be intimidated by the material !
