Death in Venice and Other Tales by Thomas Mann
4.0
4.5/5
Beauty, Obsession
“The light waned, the death motif sank down with a strange, suddenly overcast timbre, and hasty and impatient yearning fluttered its white veil toward the beloved, who came through the darkness, approaching desire with outspread arms.”
Pros:
-- endings subverted expectations
Cons:
-- some stories did nothing more than provide a twist
