These stories are perfect for all part time insominiacs. So instead of tossing and turning from one side to the other, grab that neat little reading light and let one of these great authors soothe you slowly into Morpheus‘ arms.

Some of the stories are only two or three pages long, some nearly 20 pages. The stories themselves are arranged into specific categories within the book: “Stories to make you glad to be alive”, “Stories to send a shiver up your spine”, “Stories to read when everything is going wrong”…

An eclectic mix of writers from Haruki Murakami to Virginia Woolf presented in a beautiful hard back edition.

This also comes with a recommendation from our Reading Weekend our Bookclub went to recently, were we read a few of these stories at night in the kitchen by the fire.

Combine this with my collection of short stories for long nights and Ted Chiang’s „Stories of your Life„
