<p>Mark Twain wrote in a dizzying variety of genres, and much of his work resists categorization by exploring themes well outside the realms of normal human experience. Noted Twain scholar R. Kent Rasmussen has arranged thirty-two stories or book excerpts by genre, from "Tales Spooky and Grisly" to "Remarkable Characters" to "Worlds Remote in Time and Space." This is an entertaining collection of mysteries, mayhem, and marvels by an icon of American culture and literature.</p>
