Mixed Relations by W. W. Jacob

   Mixed Relations  

by W. W. Jacob  William 

Wymark Jacobs (1863–1943) is probably best-known today for his chilling little tale, "The Monkey's Paw," which seems to turn up in just about every anthology of the supernatural ever published. So the stories below may come as a bit of a surprise to fans of the macabre - for most of Jacobs' stories were lighthearted and humorous! Jacobs' father was a wharf master, and many of Jacobs' tales center on the sea and the adventures (or misadventures) of sailors and mariners. Other tales take place in the village of Claybury, centering on the mishaps of the various characters frequenting the Cauliflour pub. For over a decade Jacobs was one of the most popular and prolific contributors to The Strand - here we have no fewer than 74 stories and short novels published between 1898 and 1910!

Crime and Punishment is considered by many as the first of Dostoevsky’s cycle of great novels, which would culminate with his last completed work,    The Brothers Karamazov, shortly before his death.
