La Billo's No Compadre Y Otros Relatos
Author: Guaregua William Guaregua
Publisher: Trafford Publishing
ISBN: 1426919883
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 96
Book Description
Viaje al mundo de la sociedad venezolana de una manera original, entretenida y con el estilo propio de estos cuentos cortos, ya sea a través de la poesía o la narración, o transpórtese a realidades ficticias, producto de la imaginación del autor. La Billo's no compadre y otros relatos, es una recopilación de los primeros cuentos e historias cortas del escritor venezolano William Guaregua, quien anteriormente había publicado poesía únicamente. La temática de los cuentos es variada, pero la mayoría tiene como lugar común el reflejo de lo que ha sido la sociedad venezolana en las últimas décadas e inclusive la situación actual. Problemas sociales como la delincuencia y la segregación política forman parte de las historias narradas aquí con un lenguaje poético. Mientras que algunos relatos desdibujan una realidad triste y agobiante, otros se adentran en la literatura fantástica. «Mientras tanto podré volver a esa pesadilla recurrente en la cual ya no tengo escamas, ni venenosos colmillos, pero tengo brazos, piernas y me entrelazo sobre blandas y blancas telas con el cuerpo de otro animal, de alguna manera parecido a mi nueva figura. Ana, creo que es su nombre.»

Jawbone
Author: Mónica Ojeda
Publisher: Coffee House Press
ISBN: 1566896304
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 220
Book Description
Finalist for the 2022 National Book Award in Translated Literature! “Was desire something like being possessed by a nightmare?” Fernanda and Annelise are so close they are practically sisters: a double image, inseparable. So how does Fernanda end up bound on the floor of a deserted cabin, held hostage by one of her teachers and estranged from Annelise? When Fernanda, Annelise, and their friends from the Delta Bilingual Academy convene after school, Annelise leads them in thrilling but increasingly dangerous rituals to a rhinestoned, Dior-scented, drag-queen god of her own invention. Even more perilous is the secret Annelise and Fernanda share, rooted in a dare in which violence meets love. Meanwhile, their literature teacher Miss Clara, who is obsessed with imitating her dead mother, struggles to preserve her deteriorating sanity. Each day she edges nearer to a total break with reality. Interweaving pop culture references and horror concepts drawn from from Herman Melville, H. P. Lovecraft, and anonymous “creepypastas,” Jawbone is an ominous, multivocal novel that explores the terror inherent in the pure potentiality of adolescence and the fine line between desire and fear.

Flight or Fright
Author: Stephen King
Publisher: Scribner
ISBN: 1982109009
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 352
Book Description
#1 New York Times bestselling author and master of horror Stephen King teams up with Bev Vincent of Cemetery Dance to present a terrifying collection of sixteen short stories (and one poem) that tap into one of King’s greatest fears—air travel—featuring brand-new stories by King and Joe Hill, “an expertly compiled collection of tales that entertain and scare” (Booklist). Stephen King hates to fly, and he and co-editor Bev Vincent would like to share their fear of flying with you. Welcome to Flight or Fright, an anthology about all the things that can go horribly wrong when you’re suspended six miles in the air, hurtling through space at more than 500 mph, and sealed up in a metal tube (like—gulp!—a coffin) with hundreds of strangers. Here are all the ways your trip into the friendly skies can turn into a nightmare, including some we’ll bet you’ve never thought of before... but now you will the next time you walk down the jetway and place your fate in the hands of a total stranger. Featuring brand-new “standouts” (Publishers Weekly) by Joe Hill and Stephen King, as well as fourteen classic tales and one poem from the likes of Richard Matheson, Ray Bradbury, Roald Dahl, Dan Simmons, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and many others, Flight or Fright is, as King says, “ideal airplane reading, especially on stormy descents…Even if you are safe on the ground, you might want to buckle up nice and tight.” Each story is introduced by Stephen King and all will have you thinking twice about how you want to reach your final destination.

The New Mother (and other stories)
Author: Lucy Lane Clifford
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1300363231
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 130
Book Description
The writings of Lucy lane Clifford (who also wrote as Mrs W K Clifford) were for almost a century completely lost to obscurity, but during her lifetime this extraordinary woman was a friend and confidant of Henry James, Rudyard Kipling, Thomas Hardy and other luminaries of the day. This collection contains possibly her best works. Her writings, originally penned as cautionary didactic tales for Victorian children, present themselves as a cycle of unique fables of existential dread and alienation, worthy (at their best) of a Kafka or Borges. Ranging from paeans to autism ('Wooden Tony' or 'The Paper Fish') or surreal horror ('The New Mother') this collection asks for Mrs Clifford to be reappraised as a precursor to 20th century and 21st century literature. This collection has been augmented with collages by artist D M Mitchell to show the link to such allegorical artists as Leonora Carrington, Max Ernst and Toyen.

The Sound of Things Falling
Author: Juan Gabriel Vasquez
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 1101605383
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 217
Book Description
* National Bestseller and winner of the 2014 International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award * Hailed by Edmund White as "a brilliant new novel" on the cover of the New York Times Book Review * Lauded by Jonathan Franzen, E. L. Doctorow and many others From a global literary star comes a prize-winning tour de force – an intimate portrayal of the drug wars in Colombia. Juan Gabriel Vásquez has been hailed not only as one of South America’s greatest literary stars, but also as one of the most acclaimed writers of his generation. In this gorgeously wrought, award-winning novel, Vásquez confronts the history of his home country, Colombia. In the city of Bogotá, Antonio Yammara reads an article about a hippo that had escaped from a derelict zoo once owned by legendary Colombian drug kingpin Pablo Escobar. The article transports Antonio back to when the war between Escobar’s Medellín cartel and government forces played out violently in Colombia’s streets and in the skies above. Back then, Antonio witnessed a friend’s murder, an event that haunts him still. As he investigates, he discovers the many ways in which his own life and his friend’s family have been shaped by his country’s recent violent past. His journey leads him all the way back to the 1960s and a world on the brink of change: a time before narco-trafficking trapped a whole generation in a living nightmare. Vásquez is “one of the most original new voices of Latin American literature,” according to Nobel Prize winner Mario Vargas Llosa, and The Sound of Things Falling is his most personal, most contemporary novel to date, a masterpiece that takes his writing—and will take his literary star—even higher.
