Opis

Tantalizing, as ingenious as they are devious, the classic stories in this continuallyarresting collection come with anirresistible challenge: At their end they leave it to you, the reader, todetermine how they end.For ultimately it's the reader who authors thefate of the brave youth as hecontemplates which of the two doors in the king'sarena he will choose in FrankStockton's famous and unforgettable "TheLady, or the Tiger?" And which of the twobrothers in three-timeEdgar-winner Stanley Ellin's "Unreasonable Doubt" shoots abulletsquare in the middle of their rich uncle's forehead? And just what not-so-sweetsecret is the prim Miss Spence hiding behind her smile in Aldous Huxley'sdeliciouslyenigmatic tale? You decide.In all, as in "The Moment ofDecision" a chilling tale that seals an escape artistinside an airlessstone cell with a heavy wooden door, which may or may not open themoment ofdecision is yours."
