I Say No
by Wilkie CollinsWilliam Wilkie Collins (1824-1889) was an English novelist, playwright, and writer of short stories. He was hugely popular in his time, and wrote 27 novels, more than 50 short stories, at least 15 plays, and over 100 pieces of non-fiction work. His best-known works are The Woman in White (1860), The Moonstone (1868), Armadale (1866) and No Name (1862). His works were classified at the time as 'sensation novels', a genre seen nowadays as the precursor to detective fiction and suspense fiction. He also wrote penetratingly on the plight of women and on the social and domestic issues of his time. His novel, No Name combined social commentary - the absurdity of the law as it applied to children of unmarried parents - with a densely-plotted revenge thriller. Amongst his other works are: Basil (1852), Hide and Seek (1854), After the Dark (1856), The Frozen Deep (1857), The Queen of Hearts (1859), Man and Wife (1870), The New Magdalen (1873), The Law and the Lady (1875), The Two Destinies (1876) and A Rogue's Life (1879).

A child is unwittingly introduced to the very meaning of terror. A teenage girl eyes her mother&’s lover with curiosity and caution. A nasty rumor poisons the reputation of a guarded neighbor. A schoolteacher&’s attempt to reach four bullying students results in a wicked sting. An elderly woman&’s patience begins to crack in the most unexpected ways. . . . In this suspenseful anthology, author Charlotte Armstrong illuminates the mysteries of life in tales told from perspectives ranging from infancy, childhood, and adolescence to adulthood and the deathbed. In each piece, Armstrong demonstrates how the tiniest spark of emotion—a stray whisper or the impression of a stranger—can shed light on the past, define the future, become a catalyst for tragedy, or influence fears that last a lifetime. Along with Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine First Prize Winner for Best Detective Story &“The Enemy&”—a story that was made into the 1952 MGM film noir Talk About a Stranger—this gripping anthology also includes &“At the Circus,&” &“The World Turned Upside Down,&” &“The Enemy,&” &“Miss Murphy,&” &“Motto Day,&” &“The Weight of the World,&” &“The Conformers,&” &“How They Met,&” and &“I See You.&” &“I tend to become inarticulate in reviewing Armstrong, largely because the method by which she achieves her magical effect defies critical analysis.
