The Open Window by Saki

The Masque of The Red Death by Edgar Allan Poe

One of Saki's most popular tales.

"Cannibalism in the Cars" is a short story written in 1868 by American writer Mark Twain. It tells the darkly humorous tale of apparent acts of cannibalism from the point of view of a congressman on a snowbound train. It indirectly satirises the political system of the United States of America.
