Creative Short Stories series.
Each volume begins with an evocative frontispiece (the same as the cover image). The main design element within the classic short stories is occasional, and distracting, use of colored font. An illustration of the short story's author accompanies a brief appended biography; a short essay about each text is also included. Review covers these Creative Short Stories titles: The Most Dangerous Game, The Monkey's Paw, The Garden Party, and The Necklace.
