Then comes an invitation to dance from a handsome stranger named Antonio. Normally cautious and reserved, Natalie somehow finds herself saying yes.

Robert Aickman, the supreme master of the supernatural, brings together eight stories in which strange things happen that the reader is unable to predict. His characters are often lonely and middle-aged, but all have the same thing in common: they are brought to the brink of an abyss that shows how terrifyingly fragile our piece of mind actually is. 'The Unsettled Dust', 'The House of the Russians', 'No Stronger Than a Flower', 'The Cicerones' and 'Ravissante' first appeared in the Sub Rosa collection in 1968, but the stories were published together as The Unsettled Dust in 1990.

Colin Dexter’s Chief Inspector Morse - the cranky, heavy-drinking, and exasperatingly brilliant sleuth of the Thames Valley Police - has become one of the most beloved detectives in fiction. Now, with this collection of 11 short stories, we can savor choice examples of his dry wit, devious cunning, and psychological insight at its best. Colin Dexter tantalizes us with six Inspector Morse adventures, ranging from bite-size morsels of intrigue to longer stories for listeners to sink their teeth into.

"Gli zii di Sicilia" è una raccolta di racconti ("La zia d'America", "La morte di Stalin", "Il quarantotto", "L'antimonio") che rappresenta la prima pubblicazione di Leonardo Sciascia come narratore. Gli eroi di questi racconti sono contadini, odiano i nobili, detestano la loro immobilità, pregustano il sole dell’avvenire, il momento in cui il mondo di ingiustizia nel quale sono costretti a vivere verrà rovesciato in nome di una presa del potere dei loro emissari che sia fondata sulla ragione.

Cold Hand in Mine stands as one of Aickman's best collections and contains eight stories that show off his powers as a 'strange story' writer to the full. The listener is introduced to a variety of characters, from a man who spends the night in a Hospice to a German aristocrat and a woman who sees an image of her own soul. There is also a nod to the conventional vampire story ("Pages from a Young Girl's Journal") but all the stories remain unconventional and inconclusive, which perhaps makes them all the more startling and intriguing.

"À soixante ans on a franchi depuis longtemps le solstice d'été. Il y aura encore de jolis soirs, des amis, des enfances, des choses à espérer. Mais c'est ainsi : on est sûr d'avoir franchi le solstice. C'est peut-être un bon moment pour essayer de garder le meilleur : une goutte de nostalgie s'infiltre au coeur de chaque sensation pour la rendre plus durable et menacée."

Le sentiment de l'exil, l'étrangeté au monde, la mélancolie, que Clarice Lispector exprimait dans les lettres à ses sœurs écrites de Berne où elle résidait dans les années 1940, sont la matière même de ses œuvres et se retrouvent dans les nouvelles lues par Fanny Ardant. "Ce qui était arrivé à Ana avant d'avoir un foyer était à jamais hors de sa portée: une exaltation perturbée qui si souvent s'était confondue avec un bonheur insoutenable."
