Various Authors: A House Party. v1. 16 Jun 2022

AN ACCOUNT OF THE STORIES TOLD AT A GATHERING OF FAMOUS AMERICAN AUTHORS;
THE STORY TELLERS BEING INTRODUCED BY PAUL LEICESTER FORD


Short stories, by well-known authors, published anonymously.

The publishers offered a prize to the successful guesser of the highest number of names of the true authors.
In the original contest, one reader correctly guessed eleven writers of the twelve stories. In the second contest, when the names of the authors were provided asking which wrote each story, twenty-four correct answers were received.

Note that the second story in the sequence, “Artemesia’s Mirror”, by Bertha Runkle (1879–1958), has been omitted due to copyright restrictions.
