This collection also includes Ernest Hemingway's "The Killers," Saki's "Sredni Vashtar," Jack London's "To Build a Fire," Ambrose Bierce's "The Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge," H. G. Wells's "The Country of the Blind," and the classic thrillers W. W. Jacobs' "Captain Rogers" and Carl Stephenson's "Leiningen versus the Ants."
