Short Stories About Siblings: Friends come and go, but family is forever

by Edgar Allan Poe, Victor Hugo, Sheridan Le Fanu

Overview

Those closest to us, especially in our early years, are the immediate members of our family. We look to them for love, guidance, care and attention.

But as the years pass things change. Siblings may become closer, they may become rivals. But things will change. Our classic authors including D H Lawrence, Kate Chopin, Mary Butts, Nikolai Gogol and a host of others bring narrative verve and fabled characters to explore and exploit this genre that is so familiar to many of us.

About the Author

Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849) was orphaned at the age of three and adopted by a wealthy Virginia family with whom he had a troubled relationship. He excelled in his studies of language and literature at school, and self-published his first book, Tamerlane and Other Poems, in 1827. In 1830, Poe embarked on a career as a writer and began contributing reviews and essays to popular periodicals. He also wrote sketches and short fiction, and in 1833 published his only completed novel, The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket. Over the next five years he established himself as a master of the short story form through the publication of "The Fall of the House of Usher," "The Masque of the Red Death," "The Tell-Tale Heart," and other well–known works. In 1841, he wrote "The Murders in the Rue Morgue," generally considered the first modern detective story. The publication of The Raven and Other Poems in 1845 brought him additional fame as a poet.
