Beasts and Super-Beasts is a collection of short stories by Saki, marked by sharp wit, social satire, and macabre or unsettling twists. Readers who enjoy darkly comic short fiction and Edwardian satire will find it worthwhile.
Saki
Hector Hugh Munro, popularly known by his pen name Saki and also frequently as H. H. Munro, was a British writer whose witty, mischievous and sometimes macabre stories satirise Edwardian society and culture. He is considered to be a master of the short story and is often compared to O. Henry and Dorothy Parker. Influenced by Oscar Wilde, Lewis Carroll and Rudyard Kipling, Munro himself influenced A. A. Milne, Noël Coward and P. G. Wodehouse.
