It was disturbing and twisted and terrifying, and I will be thinking about this short story for a long, long time. It’s quite obvious from the very first pages that the other drew her inspiration for Alice in Wonderland, but it took a very, very dark turn. It was appropriately creepy and told in just the right way a story about a perverted old neighbor who takes pictures of young girls and shoots birds in his backyard.Ģ.) In the Forest Dark and Deep by Carrie Ryan The very first story in this collection was a really good way to set the tone for the entries to follow. You’re intended to read each story and attempt to guess what they’re reminiscent of, and then you can find out at the end.ġ.) The Birds of Azalea Street by Nova Ren Suma Each one is inspired by either TV, movies or books, some horror and some not, and gives it a twist. This particular collection is full of creepy, scary, bone-chilling, spine-tingling stories, some of which might keep you up late into the night, scared to check under your bed or inside your closet. Slasher Girls & Monster Boys is a compilation of 14 stories by some of the most well-known young adult authors in the business.

The protagonist is Zoey Ashe, a young woman from a trailer park who, through a series of unlikely and frankly implausible events, finds herself at the head of her dead father’s vast criminal empire in the futuristic city of Tabula Ra$a. These books take place in a future so surreal and chaotic that it’s only about 15% less stupid than our present. In the following email interview, Wong discusses what inspired and influenced what we can’t help but assume is a wild and weird novel.įor people who didn’t read the first book in the Zoey Ashe series, Futuristic Violence And Fancy Suits, who is Zoey, what is this series about, and when and where do these stories take place? But you’d forgiven for doing just that with David Wong’s new comedic sci-fi novel Zoey Punches The Future In The Dick ( hardcover, Kindle), the second book in his Zoey Ashe series after 2015’s Futuristic Violence And Fancy Suits. And, it stands to reason, by its title, either. They say you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. Almost 50 years later, "New York, New York" has been reappraised for its unexpectedly devastating depiction of a toxic relationship. Going into production without an actual shooting script, the film inevitably went over budget, hindered by on-set affairs, the death of an editor, and lots of cocaine. What followed was one of the most tumultuous productions of its time. In an effort to showcase his range before getting pigeonholed as the guy who makes gritty New York crime movies, Scorsese cashed in his check by paying homage to the classic 1940's musicals of his childhood. Riding the success of "Taxi Driver" and the four Oscar nominations it brought in the following year, Scorsese was given his first real blank check. In 1976, Martin Scorsese could make what ever movie he wanted to. But it actually takes place in the mid 1950s When I was actually alive. So would you please tell us how you landed in the near past and set the story up for us? Well, the past century I guess so. And it seemed like this could have been the subtitle for any of the Rashi's Daughters or Rav Hidai's daughter's books, but this book takes place in the past century. Maggie, the subtitle of your latest book is a novel of love faith and the Talmud. Today I am so pleased to welcome award winning author Maggie Anton. Thanks for joining me here at Nice Jewish Books.

With her trademark wit, riveting storytelling, and sizzling sexual sparks, Mary Balogh once again brings together two polar opposites: an irresistible, high-and-mighty aristocrat and the impulsive, pleasure-loving woman who shows him what true passion is all about. Now for a man who thought he'd never lose his heart, nothing less than love will do. Yet even as the lone wolf of the Bedwyn clan vows to seduce her any way he can, something strange and wonderful is happening. An infuriating lady with very definite views on men, morals, and marriage, Christine confounds Wulfric at every turn. What red-blooded woman wouldn't enjoy a tumble in the bedsheets with a consummate lover-with no strings and no questions asked. Christine Derrick is intrigued by the handsome duke…all the more so when he invites her to become his mistress. But on this dazzling afternoon, one woman did catch the duke's eye-and she was the only female in the room who wasn't even trying. Others say he is so aloof and passionless that not even the greatest beauty could capture his attention. All of London is abuzz over the imminent arrival of Wulfric Bedwyn, the reclusive, cold-as-ice Duke of Bewcastle, at the most glittering social event of the season.

For the twelfth in the series we have chosen Freya Stark.īorn in 1893, Freya Stark was an Anglo-Italian travel writer and explorer. TripFiction takes a look at some of these authors, for whom a sense of place has helped to define their literary output. For some writers location is as integral to their story-telling as plot or character. Americans now spend more money on fast food - $110bn last year - than they do on higher education. Fast food is now served at restaurants, stadiums, airports, zoos, schools and universities, on cruise ships, trains and aeroplanes, at supermarkets, petrol stations and even in hospital cafeterias. Over the past three decades, an industry that began with a handful of hot dog and hamburger stands in southern California has spread to almost every corner of the globe. It has become a social custom as American as a small, rectangular, hand-held, frozen and reheated apple pie. The whole experience of buying fast food has become so routine, so thoroughly unexceptional and mundane, that it is now taken for granted, like brushing your teeth or stopping for a red light. Watch teenagers in uniforms pushing various buttons, and moments later take hold of a plastic tray full of food wrapped in coloured paper and cardboard. Pull open the glass door, feel the rush of cool air, walk in, get in line, study the backlit colour photographs above the counter, place your order, hand over a few dollars. She is the creator of two of the most enduring figures in crime literature-Hercule Poirot and Miss Jane Marple-and author of The Mousetrap, the longest-running play in the history of modern theatre.Īgatha Mary Clarissa Miller was born in Torquay, Devon, England, U.K., as the youngest of three.

What Jeff has to face-his return to his family and to school, his dealings with the FBI and others who had searched for him, his ugly, overpowering emotions-is drawn candidly but never sensationally. While his rigidity is fearsome, the cost to him, and to Jeff’s stepmother and siblings, is fierce. Jeff’s intelligent, driven father, who has lost so much of his own life in the search for his son, tries to control Jeff’s recovery, too. While who Ray was and what he did to Jeff remain mostly unstated, the effects on Jeff are ghastly and transparent. Atkins plunges into the depths of Jeff’s tangled consciousness, conjuring his terror, his bottomless degradation, his lingering horror of himself over what he did to survive. After two and a half years, the man called Ray, who stole Jeff from his family at a roadside rest stop, delivers him back home. An accomplished, intense, and powerful first novel about what happens when a kidnapped boy is returned to his family. |
