In this chilling Gothic tale, the narrator tries to convince us of his own sanity - while detailing a murder he has committed. He outlines his reasons, his calculated method, and eventually, the manner of his ultimate unraveling. Edgar Allan Poe was renowned for his preoccupation with the macabre. This story is another fascinating illustration of his ability to explore the dysfunctional mind.

On his way home, Ed Loyce stumbles across a dead body hanging from a street light. He wants to get to the bottom of it - but strangely, no one else seems to care. This story was written by science fiction writer, Philip K. Dick and was adapted into a TV episode of &#39;Philip K. Dick&#39;s Electric Dreams&#39; in 2017 (A show based on 9 of his short stories). Movies such as Blade Runner, A Scanner Darkly, Totall Recall, Minority Report and The Adjustment Bureau, among several others, have all been based entirely on Philip K. Dick&#39;s books. He died in 1982 at the age of 53, but in the 40 odd years since his passing, his work continues to inspire science fiction writers and film makers to a profound degree. This week&#39;s story &#39;The Hanging Stranger&#39;, explores dark themes of societal oblivion and corporate control that are remarkably relevant to today&#39;s world in so many respects.

Bertram Wooster returns from holiday to find that Gussie Fink-Nottle has been confiding in his valet Jeeves, on the subject of his unrequited love for a certain Madeline Bassett. Hilarity ensues. P.G. Wodehouse was a prolific English writer and humorist. The characters of Bertie and Jeeves and the world he created for them - among several others - are at once unmistakable, hilarious and unforgettable.
