Some of these were intensely creepy. Excellent examples of how short stories should be written.

Hysterical and brilliantly satirical, Saki (H. H. Munro) was a brilliant writer who inspired the likes of [a:P.G. Wodehouse|7963|P.G. Wodehouse|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1198684105p2/7963.jpg] and other British humourists. There are many moments that are laugh-out-loud funny. My favourite stories are "The Stampeding of Lady Bastable," "The Open Window," "The Shartz-Metterklume Method," "The Lumber Room," and "Shock Tactics."

Saki is a wonderfully gifted writer. The stories in this collection range from mysterious to marvellous, with some observations on life included. Definitely recommended reading.
