"Ten Minute Stories" by Algernon Blackwood is a collection of short stories written in the early 20th century. The stories explore varied themes, often delving into the supernatural, the strange, or psychological aspects of human experience. Each tale is designed to be a quick read, making them perfect for a brief escape into the intriguing worlds Blackwood creates. The opening of the first story, "Accessory Before the Fact," introduces us to Martin, an accountant on holiday. He finds himself confused at a moorland crossroads due to an outdated map, leading to feelings of unease. As dusk falls, he encounters a suspicious pair of tramps who communicate with him in German, heightening his sense of dread. After a sudden, violent encounter, Martin realizes that he has been unintentionally eavesdropping on a dangerous situation that threatens others and wrestles with the moral implications of his knowledge. The story establishes a rich atmosphere of suspense and psychological depth, setting the tone for the intriguing narratives that follow in the collection.
