Book Description
SIX SPOOKY SHORT STORIES: Ghost Brother… What happens after you die? Do you go to heaven or hell, or do you go to a special place fashioned for you based on the life you’d lived? Do ghosts exist? Two brothers and their tale follow; their journey through life and death. Running with the Train… Sarah has always been lonely; searching for a love she’s begun to believe will never come. True, eternal love. On an adventure of a lifetime to the Grand Canyon she rides the train from Williams to the Rim and sees these huge wolves running alongside in the evening twilight; scurrying unbelievably below on the Canyon’s ledges among the trees. Has her loneliness made her crazy? The Banshee and the Witch… What would you do to live forever, stay young forever? To find true love again? If you were a white witch with the powers to make it happen, and the secret of how to do it, would you? When the banshee comes calling one rainy dark night you’ll do what you must to get what you desire most. More time. Too Close to the Edge… Artist Penelope had been looking forward to going to see the Grand Canyon…even though she was terrified of heights and, when she got there, couldn’t bear to get too close to the edge. She sees a young girl go over the rim and no one believes her. There was no child that had died–that day anyway. AND TWO BONUS SHORT STORIES: In This House...an eternal love ghost story Night Carnival...a vampire tale

Hyperbole and a Half
Author: Allie Brosh
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1451666187
Category : Humor
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
#1 New York Times Bestseller “Funny and smart as hell” (Bill Gates), Allie Brosh’s Hyperbole and a Half showcases her unique voice, leaping wit, and her ability to capture complex emotions with deceptively simple illustrations. FROM THE PUBLISHER: Every time Allie Brosh posts something new on her hugely popular blog Hyperbole and a Half the internet rejoices. This full-color, beautifully illustrated edition features more than fifty percent new content, with ten never-before-seen essays and one wholly revised and expanded piece as well as classics from the website like, “The God of Cake,” “Dogs Don’t Understand Basic Concepts Like Moving,” and her astonishing, “Adventures in Depression,” and “Depression Part Two,” which have been hailed as some of the most insightful meditations on the disease ever written. Brosh’s debut marks the launch of a major new American humorist who will surely make even the biggest scrooge or snob laugh. We dare you not to. FROM THE AUTHOR: This is a book I wrote. Because I wrote it, I had to figure out what to put on the back cover to explain what it is. I tried to write a long, third-person summary that would imply how great the book is and also sound vaguely authoritative—like maybe someone who isn’t me wrote it—but I soon discovered that I’m not sneaky enough to pull it off convincingly. So I decided to just make a list of things that are in the book: Pictures Words Stories about things that happened to me Stories about things that happened to other people because of me Eight billion dollars* Stories about dogs The secret to eternal happiness* *These are lies. Perhaps I have underestimated my sneakiness!
