![]() "The world is exceptionally well crafted, particularly the complex backstory of the rise of prodigies among humans, and the secondary cast of villains and heroes could give Marvel and DC a run for their money. "Meyer delivers a balance between intricate world-building and fast-paced action sequences." - School Library Journal "Even reluctant fans of hero fantasies will fall for the smart plot and wonderful world-building.

Tender, gripping, slyly hilarious, infused with raging sexual obsession and fierce maternal love, Miranda July’s first novel confirms her as a spectacularly original, iconic, and important voice today, and a writer for all time. And yet it is Clee-the selfish, cruel blond bombshell-who bullies Cheryl into reality and, unexpectedly, provides her the love of a lifetime. When Cheryl’s bosses ask if their twenty-one-year-old daughter, Clee, can move into her house for a little while, Cheryl’s eccentrically ordered world explodes. ![]() She believes they’ve been making love for many lifetimes, though they have yet to consummate in this one. Cheryl is also obsessed with Phillip, a philandering board member at the women’s self-defense nonprofit where she works. She is haunted by a baby boy she met when she was six, who sometimes recurs as other people’s babies. Here is Cheryl, a tightly-wound, vulnerable woman who lives alone, with a perpetual lump in her throat. From the acclaimed filmmaker, artist, and bestselling author of No One Belongs Here More Than You, a spectacular debut novel that is so heartbreaking, so dirty, so tender, so funny-so Miranda July-that readers will be blown away. ![]() ![]() ![]() This is the first component writer Nathan Carson and artist Sam Ford address in their adaptation, serialized in two halves by indie publisher Floating World Comics and soon to be collected in one volume. Algernon Blackwood’s highly regarded novella The Willows is a prime example of this, with a nameless narrator and a companion identified only by his nationality (“the Swede”). Protagonists are typically little more than an excuse for first-person narration, rather than complex participants-an extension, perhaps, of the genre’s heritage in stories told around the fire. ![]() ![]() Contemporary readers tackling early 20 th-century horror and weird fiction for the first time are often struck by the lack of character. ![]() ![]() Poco después (1906) murió su esposa Louise Hawkins y se casó con la médium Jean Elizabeth Leckie. ![]() Había alcanzado un lugar de prestigio, con apenas cuarenta años. Según su opinión fue esto sobre todo lo que favoreció su nombramiento como caballero de la Orden del Imperio dos años después. En 1900 dio a luz su libro más extenso, La guerra de los bóers, y se pronunció en favor de la contienda británica en África. También cultivó la ciencia ficción, la novela histórica y otros géneros. ![]() Entre los más conocidos se encuentran El perro de los Baskerville, El valle del terror o los relatos incluidos en su libro Las aventuras de Sherlock Holmes, publicado en Gribaudo. El personaje creado por él, su detective Sherlock Holmes, se hizo famosísimo y protagonizó nada menos que sesenta títulos. Su éxito fue tan grande e inmediato, que nuestro autor ya no dejaría de escribir. Sin embargo, nunca ejerció, pues apenas dos años después de licenciarse en 1885 dio a luz el primero de sus relatos de suspense, Estudio en escarlata (1887).

The Christkindl’s Gift - A Christmas novella ![]() ![]() That’s so far away from a usual hiker’s way of life that I didn’t know what to think about this. I’m torn between awe (How gutsy!) and consternation (How imprudent!)Įach time they are out of the trail, they rush to fast food restaurants to gorge on soda, hamburgers, pies and other junk food. They aren’t trained for that but go for it anyway. Unless Bryson downplays his fitness for the sake of the narration. They engage into a project that consists in hiking a long and tough trail for which they are unfit. He wasn’t always kind to Katz and I found that a bit jarring. In my opinion, Bryson was a bit condescending at times and lacked of self-deprecating humor. It’s readable, informative but quite superficial. Chapters alternate between Bryson and Katz’s adventures and facts about the AT, the mountains and the places they go to or through. They’ll hike 870 miles before abandoning their project and it represents around 40% of the entire trail. ![]() The book is a mix of chapters between their walking, their progression on the trail and how things go. Both are rather inexperienced hikers, no athletes –Katz is overweight and a recovering alcoholic- and not fully prepared for their travels. He starts his journey in Georgia with his old friend Stephen Katz. He’s near the Appalachian Trail (AT) and decides that he wants to hike this mythic trail. In 1996, Bill Bryson moves back from England to America and settles in New Hampshire with his family. ![]() ![]() ![]() With Bardot's decadent period detail and a cast of gritty evocative characters, The Impaler's Wife offers a fierce yet sensuous glimpse into the violent 15th century.
