Peter Ackroyd recommends
The Collected Stories of Elizabeth Bowen (1980)
Elizabeth Bowen
"If there is anything to the catchphrase "felt life", it is here...Many of her stories start like Saki and end like Edgar Allan Poe. It is that paradox which gives the edge to her writing and contributes to the sharpness of her vison."
