This unusual literary collection is a fascinating read for gamblers and gamers alike, containing a variety of larger than life short stories on a gambling theme by diverse authors. Contents Include: Blood Money by David Karp; Taste by Roald Dahl; Everything is Wild by James Thurber; The Most Dangerous Game by Richard Connell; The Wager by Anton Chekhov; Two Days Wasted in Kansas City by William Saroyan, Swindler's Luck by Ben Hecht; Katz by Nelson Algren; A Piece of Pie by Damon Runyon; Elementals by Stephen Vincent Benet; The Rocking-Horse Winner by D. H. Lawrence; The Resourceful Miss Railey by Irvin S. Cobb; A Watcher by the Dead by Ambrose Bierce; A Fowl Disaster by John Taintor Foot; and Gambler's Luck by Albert Richard Wetjen. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive.
