Summary: "Golden Stories" by Various is a collection of short fiction written in the early 20th century. This anthology presents a diverse selection of stories by prominent authors of the time, each offering their unique perspective and narrative style. The book aims to showcase the craft of storytelling and entertain readers with engaging tales that span various themes and genres. The opening portion of the anthology introduces a gripping story titled "The Night Express" by Fred M. White, which centers around a bank robbery on a crowded train. As the night express trains through a stormy October night, passengers—including a nervous bank cashier named Mr. Skidmore—find themselves caught in a deadly situation when the train is rocked by an audacious crime that leads to a shocking murder and the disappearance of money meant for the Imperial Bank of Scotland. The narrative unfolds with a sense of urgency, drawing the reader into the mystery and intrigue surrounding the unexpected violence amidst the ordinary chaos of travel.
