| Summary | "Twenty-Three Stories by Twenty and Three Authors" by Rhys and Dawson Scott is a collection of short stories written in the early 20th century. This anthology features contributions from various authors, showcasing a variety of narratives that likely reflect themes of human experience, emotion, and perhaps morality or social commentary given the literary styles typical of the time. At the start of the book, the narrative begins with the story "Kerfol" by Edith Wharton, which introduces the protagonist as he arrives at an imposing and abandoned estate in Brittany, named Kerfol. The character is told it’s a romantic house, and his explorations reveal not just its eerie atmosphere but also the presence of silent dogs wandering the grounds. As he reflects on the history of the place, he becomes increasingly drawn into its haunting past, hinting at deeper, perhaps ghostly connections tied to the estate. The opening ends with an intriguing encounter that raises questions about the supernatural and the intersection of the past with the present. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
