Compare how authors create suspense in a variety of short stories.

Introduction

This essay is about short stories and these short stories are written in the nineteenth century. The stories are called “The Yellow Paint” by Robert Louis Stevenson, “Napblen The Specture” by Charlotte Bronte, “the Adventure Of The Speckled Band” by Sir Arthur Cannon Doyle, “The Red Room” by H G and Wells, “The Invisible Girl” by Mary Shelley. All the stories have horror in them and the common thing about the stories is that they are mystery and detectives.

      In the stories there are many clues for a detective to solve the mystery. Out of these five stories I have chosen two and they are “the red room” The Adventure Of The Speckled Band”. The reason I have chosen the stories is because they both are similar and more detailed.  These stories bring out a lot of suspense. The stories are set in the day. The language used in “The Adventure of the Speckled Band” explains the back ground of the story in more detail, but in “The Red Room” the background is not in much detailed. The words used in the stories are quiet easy to understand. Both stories start in a mystery and somebody has to solve it.
