Book Description
Do you like it when terrible things happen to bad people? Of course! Who doesn’t? But it does not happen often enough, so fiction needs to step in to correct the imbalance. In this anthology, poetic justice takes place in a variety of unpleasant, satisfying ways. Innocent characters get sucked into the grinder too, but remember it is okay not to feel bad for them, because deep down they probably had it coming... And also they’re not real. The stories in here are both humorous and shocking. They leave an impression with the reader, whether by making them laugh or lay awake at night. From to sci-fi comedy to horror, there is not one exact genre, but also not a single boring story. People are abducted by well-endowed aliens, get tortured for a living, have their hearts explode, find forbidden love, and there is even a talking dog!
Things were always like this; you just didn't notice

Hummingbird Salamander
Author: Jeff VanderMeer
Publisher: MCD
ISBN: 0374719020
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
Named one of NPR's Best Books of 2021 From the author of Annihilation, a brilliant speculative thriller of dark conspiracy, endangered species, and the possible end of all things. Security consultant “Jane Smith” receives an envelope with a key to a storage unit that holds a taxidermied hummingbird and clues leading her to a taxidermied salamander. Silvina, the dead woman who left the note, is a reputed ecoterrorist and the daughter of an Argentine industrialist. By taking the hummingbird from the storage unit, Jane sets in motion a series of events that quickly spin beyond her control. Soon, Jane and her family are in danger, with few allies to help her make sense of the true scope of the peril. Is the only way to safety to follow in Silvina’s footsteps? Is it too late to stop? As she desperately seeks answers about why Silvina contacted her, time is running out—for her and possibly for the world. Hummingbird Salamander is Jeff VanderMeer at his brilliant, cinematic best, wrapping profound questions about climate change, identity, and the world we live in into a tightly plotted thriller full of unexpected twists and elaborate conspiracy.

Adventures in Opting Out
Author: Cait Flanders
Publisher: Little, Brown Spark
ISBN: 0316536938
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 186
Book Description
Opt out of expectations and live a more intentional life with this refreshing guide from the national bestselling author of The Year of Less. We all follow our own path in life. At least, that's what we're told. In reality, many of us either do what is expected of us, or follow the invisible but well-worn paths that lead to what is culturally acceptable. For some, those paths are fine -- even great. But they leave some of us feeling disconnected from ourselves and what we really want. When that discomfort finally outweighs the fear of trying something new, we're ready to opt out. After going through this process many times, Cait Flanders found there is an incredible parallel between taking a different path in life and the psychological work it takes to summit a mountain -- especially when you decide to go solo. In Adventures in Opting Out, she offers a trail map to help you with both. As you'll see, reaching the first viewpoint can be easy -- and it offers a glimpse of what you're walking toward. Climbing to the summit for the full view is worth it. But in the space between those two peaks you will enter a world completely unknown to you, and that is the most difficult part of the path to navigate. With Flanders's guidance and advice, drawn from her own journey and stories of others, you'll have all the encouragement and insight you'll need to take the path less traveled and create the life you want. Just step up to the trailhead and expect it to be an adventure.

A hidden world full of danger and love. A powerful dream walker, Adriana Paige spends her time reaching into other people's dreams and ferreting out terrible secrets the rebellion desperately needs. Someday she'll become the perfect weapon—if she survives the dangerous forces hunting her. Her survival hinges on her friends—her friends and alpha shape shifter Alec Graves. Alec brings along dangerous enemies of his own, but Adri can't get him out of her mind. Gorgeous, loyal, and compassionate—Alec is worth fighting for. But with both of them on the run and hundreds of miles separating them, things started out just this side of impossible, and they are about to get much worse. A new player wants to control Adri and they're willing to go after the people she cares most about in order to force her hand.
