T.S. Stribling wrote short fiction throughout his career, producing stories that ranged from mystery and adventure to literary character studies. A Passage to Benares, published in 1926, is his most anthologized piece and shows his talent for tight plotting and unexpected turns. The story has appeared in multiple collections of the best mystery writing.
His other short works include The Governor of Cap Haitien, which draws on his interest in Caribbean settings, and Christ in Chicago, which applies his satirical eye to American religion. These stories are harder to find than his novels but reward readers who track them down, offering concentrated versions of the themes and settings Stribling explored at greater length in his book-length fiction.
