Publisher Description
From a childish fear of the dark in The End of the Party to the chilling conclusion of the Destructors and the all-consuming selfishness of May We Borrow Your Husband, this collection opens with three of Greene's most disturbing stories. Things take a surreal turn in Under the Garden before finally blossoming for a moment in Two Gentle People, then there's a detective story and a brush with Greene's sardonic wit to finish.

About Graham Greene
Graham Greene (1904–1991) was an English novelist, short-story writer, and playwright. He served with the British secret service during the Second World War. His novels are often set in places in a state of seedy decay, and many of his locations, such as Vietnam in The Quiet American and Cuba in Our Man in Havana, became international crisis spots. Most of his novels have been filmed, including The Third Man, which the author first wrote as a film treatment. He was named Companion of Honour and received the Order of Merit, among numerous other awards.
