Monster And Other Stories

Monster and Other Stories

by Stephen Crane

Stephen Crane's final collection of stories explores the fragility of human relationships and the devastating consequences of single moments. The title story, 'The Monster,' portrays a poignant tale of a doctor who risks ostracism by sheltering a hideously disfigured man, while 'Twelve O'Clock' and 'Moonlight on the Snow' offer darkly humorous glimpses into the human condition. Crane's mastery of language and keen eye for detail reveal the complexities of human nature, morality, and the profound impact of our choices on ourselves and others.
