Small Box: Evil Content

It was well after dark when I got home this evening, but through the small gaps in the pines trees that surround my home, I was able to catch a glimpse of my front porch. I saw the small package on the doorstep: it had arrived early.

With the giddy excitement of a child on Christmas morning, I hurried to the box, grabbed it, headed inside, and tore it open. Inside were three items: The Turn of the Screw (a novella by Henry James); A Modern Treasury of Great Detective and Murder Mysteries (an anthology of contemporary mystery and suspense fiction); and A Treasury of Victorian Murder (a graphic novel that recounts several of the famous, unsolved crimes of the Victorian Age).

These are the books I’m using for the literature course I am teaching over the summer: the theme is murder, and I cannot wait to get my hands dirty.

[Extended evil laugh here.]
