Creative Short Stories series.
Each volume begins with an evocative frontispiece (the same as the cover image) by Etienne Delessert or Gary Kelley. The main design element within the texts is occasional, and distracting, use of colored font. An illustration of each author (also by Delessert or Kelley) accompanies a brief appended biography; a short essay about each text is also included. Review covers these Creative Short Stories titles: The Ransom of Red Chief, The Lottery, The Cask of Amontillado, and The Happy Prince.
