  <default_description>Stories in the Travelman Short Stories series take the reader to places of mystery, fantasy, horror, romance, and corners of the universe yet unexplored. In turn, readers take them on the bus or subway, slip them into briefcases and lunchboxes, and send them from Jersey to Juneau.   &lt;P&gt;Each classic or original short story is printed on one sheet of paper and folded like a map. This makes it simple to read while commuting, convenient to carry when not, and easy to give or send to a friend. A paper envelope is provided for mailing or gift-giving, and both are packaged in a clear plastic envelope for display. The cost is not much more than a greeting card.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I listened to this short story through the Classic Tales podcast on iTunes.<br/><br/>It's ironic because I had heard a Radio Lab program on NPR today about &quot;resurrectionists,&quot;  who had the grisly job of providing doctors with cadavers for dissection, most often by nefarious means.

    <body><![CDATA[I read this story out of a Classic Ghost Stories collection. This is one of those horror stories that is supposedly a supernatural tale, but really it's psychological, dealing with the depths that humans will sink to out of great and desperation. It's pretty bleak and ugly, but it had a good message...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/66930043">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book was about doctors who dissect humans, yet obtain the bodies from people who most often apparently murder them since the doctors pay them for the bodies.
