Moonlit Tales of the Macabre - Small Bites

The Copper Mountain double feature

Alexander Grin

Alexander Grin is known for his strange and chilling tales, and this one is certainly one of the oddest of them all. The author would like us to consider, what would happen if a creation not only outsmarted its creator but became truly dangerous.

The Gray Automobile

Ivan Turgenev

Ivan Turgenev's Ghosts is a rare venture into the supernatural for this writer, and all the more precious for it. The story has all the beauty of Turgenev's language, all the power of his description, and a decidedly chilling feel of a true ghost story.

Ghosts

Mikhail Saltykov-Shchedrin

While somewhat outdated and steeped in the prejudice of the day, Mikhail Saltykov-Shchedrin fable The lost conscience is nevertheless a worthy tale to ponder and a great study of a mind seeking to discard its inhibitions (not in a good way).

The Lost Conscience

Fyodor Dostoevsky

Dostoyevsky was never shy to play with the issues of human mind in his work. A funny man's dream is one of his shorter pieces that, nevertheless, lacks none of the profundity or the mind-bending power of his larger works.

A Funny Man's Dream

Anton Chekhov

Anton Pavlovich Chekhov is considered a very "real life" writer, his feet solidly on the ground at all times. The Black Monk is his foray into madness and mysticism to rival the likes of Dostoyevsky, Saltykov-Shchedrin, and Kuprin.

The Black Monk

It is difficult to combine mysticism with humor, but Alexander Grin takes on the challenge and comes out with flying colors. For all its mystical and mythical references, An incident at the apartment of Madam Cerize, is quite a heartwarming story, giving all of us some hope that, sometimes, powers that be do care.

An incident at the apartment of Madam Cerize

Vladimir Korolenko

A brilliant and acerbic piece of satire by journalist, writer, and human rights activist Vladimir Korolenko, in the unusual form of a spooky story.

Judgment Day

Aleksandr Kuprin

A reminder from the master storyteller Alexander Kuprin - sometimes, there are but a few steps between your own front door and unimaginable horror.

Horror

Vladimir Odoyevsky

Prince Vladimir Odoyevsky's beautifully written and powerful take on the age-old question "What would happen if you received exactly what you wanted?"
