If you're one of the many people who are apparently looking for the obscure short story about a revolving prison under a mountain, this is the book you are looking for -- that story is "Manuscript Found in a Police State" by Brian Aldiss, and is a haunting piece that is by itself reason enough to want to own this collection of stories. The stories in this book are:
"The Rocking-Horse Winner" by D.H. Lawrence
"Heartburn" by Hortense Calisher
"The Snail-Watcher" by Patricia Highsmith
"Manuscript Found in a Police State" by Brian Aldiss
"The Man Who Sold Rope to the Gnoles" by Idris Seabright
"The Mark of the Beast" by Rudyard Kipling
"The Summer People" by Shirley Jackson
"The Leopard Man's Story" by Jack London
and "The Garden of Forking Paths" by Jorge Luis Borges
The stories other than "Manuscript Found in a Police State" are also very memorable -- "The Snail-Watcher" was another one that stuck with me for years. They're all a bit bizarre, but are well-written, and I'd recommend picking up a copy of this book if you can find it.
