Summary: "Stories by American Authors, Volume 2" by Various is a collection of short stories likely written in the late 19th century. This volume presents a diverse array of tales from American authors, exploring themes of love, ambition, and the human experience through various styles and narratives. Each story is distinct yet reflects the sentiments and societal concerns of the time, inviting readers into intricate worlds crafted by skilled storytellers. The opening of the collection begins with "The Transferred Ghost" by Frank R. Stockton, which introduces the curious premise of a man, who, instead of being at rest, finds himself the ghost of a living individual. The narrative follows an unnamed protagonist who grapples with his feelings for Madeline, a young woman living with her uncle, John Hinckman. The plot thickens when the protagonist encounters Hinckman's ghost, who wishes to be transferred as he is wrongly occupying the ghostly position of someone still alive. Unfolding amid themes of love, jealousy, and supernatural elements, this story sets a whimsical yet poignant tone for the rest of the anthology. As the narrative develops, it becomes a tangled web of emotions and supernatural occurrences that cleverly examines both human relationships and the absurdity of existence.
