"The Norton Anthology is the most extensive colection of significant classic and modern short stories available anywhere; it's really the complete and essential anthology." --Russell J. Jandoli, St. Bonaventure Univ." Although I thought that the first edition of the Norton Anthology of Short Fiction was excellent, the second edition is far superior, expecially through the addition of stories by Poe, Cather, and Henry James, as well as additional stories by 'major' writers." --Roy C. Moose, Univ. of N. Carolina.

"These seven stories discover something of what lies beneath the ordinary surfaces of decent people," says George P. Elliott in his introduction to this volume. "Mr. Cassill's characters are for the most part," he continues, "white respectable Middle-Western Protestants, and their way of life is lethal enough. But his heresy is to treat them as possible human beings who in fact do go on living as we live – dreadfully troubled but possible, human, living." Cassill obviously incorporates in his best work all the uncommon qualities listed by Elliott, plus quite a few more: psychological precision, sociological understanding and philosophical thrust, not to mention a command of organic form in the short story and a remarkable range of flexible styles.
