What about my personal idol, H. P. Lovecraft. He was a great horror writer who never got the attention he deserved. As time passes, his reputation continues to grow. His rather romantic ties to Providence, Rhode Island work as the background for many of his stories.

i like the quick tale "A&P" by using John Updike. even even with the undeniable fact that the putting replaced into around 1960's, it relates nicely to renowned circumstances. the mushy humor additionally makes it very relaxing. even with the certainty that the story is extremely short, assorted learn might nicely be made. and consistent with probability, if a threat, you are able to examine this tale with William Faulkner's "Barn Burning." the two have a suitable subject.
