One of the classics of English literature, this short story is also by the same author who wrote "Treasure Island" (amongst others).

What I found interesting, though, is in how Mr Hyde is described within: unlike the malformed gaint monstrosity that is familiar form TV and film, Hyde is actually described as younger than Jekyll and of a lesser stature, while still projecting an aura of evil.
  
This was over before I even knew it and my heart is threatening to pound straight through my chest. Why do I persist in reading these things right before bedtime is a mystery to me but man, this short story was fantastic and packs one heck of a fright. I am completely enthralled with the authors and look forward to devouring more of these books.

"Any collection of John Cheever’s short stories. I’m not a big fan of much of what passes itself off as literary fiction, finding it to be insipid, self-indulgent, plotless, and pointless. However, Cheever could write about everyday life and make it fascinating. His psychological insights are deft, never heavy-handed, and sometimes, as in his story “The Enormous Radio,” he veers into some really strange territory."

"Another strong stylist that I imitated for a while was a woman named Joy Williams who had a short story collection called Taking Care. She has such a singular voice. It hasn’t really changed over the years. I remember she was talking about a girl having a fantasy about her beau and she said, ‘He was feeling fine, and fancy too.’ It was such music to me."

Short, slightly unbelievable, erotic romance.

I found the whole concept just a little odd. A company that forces you to have sex with the clients they have while you keep cleaning their house or risk deportation back to whatever country you came from??

The romance was kinda sweet when it got into it and though story was a little unrealistic for me, I liked it.

Gŵyl Canol Hydref—the second harvest. 🍇🌾

Garlands of vine + wheat.
Bread baked with acorns + honey.
Candles burning orange, red, yellow, indigo, and brown.
A feast for endurance, a charm for the winter to come.

So the story goes that Antrum was believed to have been lost and a sole copy of the film was tracked down and packaged for public release.

The film opens with a short 10-minute documentary which examines the dark history of the film, after which you are given the opportunity to watch the original version of this cursed film at their own risk!
