The famous anti-war story \"Editha\" gives the collection lasting classroom value, while the more unusual tales of memory, identity, apparition, and mental disturbance broaden its appeal for readers of classic American fiction, psychological short stories, literary realism, and early twentieth-century tales of inward unease. For the SMK line, this is best positioned as a compact, discoverable Howells collection with both literary and darker story appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William Dean Howells\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1627555560\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781627555562\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Black Curtain Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/27\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 138\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.47lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.32d","brand":"William Dean Howells","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":50664134672639,"sku":"9781627555562","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e27b3fc2-f70d-4ec5-af7b-7029399abddc.jpg?v=1792005700","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/between-the-dark-and-the-william-dean-howells-9781627555562","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
