The Library After Dark

Stories

Life’s Handicap

by Rudyard Kipling

A second gathering of Indian stories, from 1891, darker than the Plain Tales. Here are “The Mark of the Beast”, a horror story about a desecrated temple, and “Without Benefit of Clergy”, the tender, doomed story of an Englishman, Ameera and their son. “The Man Who Was”, about an officer who comes back to his regiment after years as a prisoner in Siberia, is here too.
