Immerse yourself in the classic collection from one of America’s greatest authors. This collection contains the following stories:A Rose for EmilyThe HoundTurn AboutThat Evening SunDry SeptemberDelta AutumnBarn BurningAn Odor of VerbenaDespite mostly being intensely local in setting, these short stories have universal appeal. Some stories—such as “A Rose for Emily,” “The Hound,” and “That Evening Sun”—are famous, displaying an uncanny blend of the homely and the horrifying. Others, though less well known, are equally colorful and characteristic. The gently nostalgic “Delta Autumn” provides a striking contrast to “Dry September” and “Barn Burning,” which are intensely dramatic.
