Collected Stories

Collected Stories by Richard Barham is a collection of mysterious and thrilling short stories. A Singular Passage in the Life of the Late Henry Harris is about a careful recollection of the life of Reverend Henry Harris and the strange happenings surrounding his death. Excerpt: «So that the extraordinary circumstance which I am about to relate, may meet with the credit it deserves, I think it necessary to premise, that my reverend friend, among whose papers I find it recorded, was, in his lifetime, ever esteemed as a man of good plain understanding, strict veracity, and unimpeached morals,–by no means of a nervous temperament, or one likely to attach undue weight to any occurrence out of the common course of events, merely because his reflections might not, at the moment, afford him a ready solution of its difficulties.»
