Novela B
by Mónica BustosAsesinos seriales, sectas sanguinarias, caníbales y hombres lobo en una trepidante narración llena de humor negro Una auténtica novela coral, que entrelaza diversas historias y juega con distintos puntos de vista. El hilo conductor es una bella y enigmática mujer que, en varios sitios de América Latina, aparece y desaparece más allá de toda lógica. Quienes se cruzan en su camino, a veces con fatales consecuencias, se obsesionan con descubrir su identidad. Así conocemos las historias de quienes giran en torno a ella: una pareja que perdió a su hijo en un accidente brutal e inexplicable; unos viajeros que terminan en alucinantes celebraciones y rituales caníbales; una sanguinaria secta, perseguida por la policía, cuyos miembros creen que la misteriosa mujer es la encarnación profetizada en su libro sagrado; buscadores de ovnis; hombres lobo beatniks reunidosen un bar; un cineasta dedicado a documentar perversiones sexuales; unos mineros que, en pleno desierto, buscan cazar al chupacabras; una joven con delirios místicos obsesionada con la sangre; un perturbador asesino serial y otros personajes que dan vida a historias terribles y situaciones tan absurdas como memorables, entrecruzadas a ritmo vertiginoso. A través de estas páginas, la novel escritora paraguaya Mónica Bustos retoma la tradición del llamado "Cine B" para crear una intensa narración que nos conduce por acciones descarnadas y escenas paródicas, con humor ácido y una cautivadora recreación de elementos bizarros.
The Novels of Mary Shelley: Frankenstein, The Last Man, and Mathilda (Manuscripts Of The Younger Romantics Ser. #Vol. 9)
by Mary ShelleyThese three classic works by the nineteenth-century English novelist and pioneer of Gothic literature are emblematic of the Romantic era.Frankenstein: The legend of Victor Frankenstein and the unholy monster he brings to life is a masterpiece of Romantic literature and one of the most famous horror stories ever written.

Now in November
by Josephine W. Johnson Nancy HoffmanBrilliant, evocative, poetic, savage, this first novel (1934) depicts a white, middle-class urban family that is turned into dirt-poor farmers by the Depression and the great drought of the thirties. <P><P> The novel moves through a single year and, at the same time, a decade of years, from the spring arrival of the family at their mortgaged farm to the winter 10 years later, when the ravages of drought, fire, and personal anguish have led to the deaths of two of the five. Like Ethan Frome, the relatively brief, intense story evokes the torment possible among people isolated and driven by strong feelings of love and hate that, unexpressed, lead inevitably to doom. Reviewers in the thirties praised the novel, calling its prose "profoundly moving music," expressing incredulity "that this mature style and this mature point of view are those of a young women in her twenties," comparing the book to "the luminous work of Willa Cather," and, with prescience, suggesting that it "has that rare quality of timelessness which is the mark of first-rate fiction."<P><P> Pulitzer Prize Winner

Delacorte&’s son, Max, has taken his name and place as an illusionist in every effort to replace his father.

We&’re all a lot richer to have Richard Matheson among us.&”―Dean Koontz &“A fascinating variation on the locked-room mystery…with more hairpin turns than a mountain road. Now You See It…is absorbing.&”―The Washington Post Book World &“There are as many twists and turns as a medieval catacomb in one of the most fun novels of the year.&”―Rocky Mountain News &“Matheson&’s prose is extremely smooth and the pacing frantic.&”―The Philadelphia Inquirer

Their dream of franchising their Korean plate lunch restaurants across Hawaiʻi seems within reach after a visit from Guy Fieri boosts the profile of Cho&’s Delicatessen. Their daughter, Grace, is busy finishing her senior year of college and working for her parents, while her older brother, Jacob, just moved to Seoul to teach English. But when a viral video shows Jacob trying—and failing—to cross the Korean demilitarized zone, nothing can protect the family from suspicion and the restaurant from waning sales. No one knows that Jacob has been possessed by the ghost of his lost grandfather, who feverishly wishes to cross the divide and find the family he left behind in the north. As Jacob is detained by the South Korean government, Mr. and Mrs. Cho fear their son won&’t ever be able to return home, and Grace gets more and more stoned as she negotiates her family&’s undoing.

by Dean Hughes[from the book jacket] "After a bit part in another movie (Nutty, the Movie Star), Nutty is now the star of a new film, directed by the overheated maker of notoriously terrible movies Damian Deveraux. It doesn't matter that Nutty can't act. He is the Tae Kwon Do Guy, powerful and fearless, yet warm and loving. What does matter, however, are the strange things going on. First there is the odd character who sends Nutty to the wrong location for that day's shoot. Then there are accidents on the set and, scariest of all, an apparition, not once but twice, in Nutty's own bedroom -- a figure that warns him not to return to the set. Even William Bilks -- Nutty's genius friend and agent -- is stumped in his attempts first to explain the phenomena and then to prove that there really is a ghost haunting the movie. Is Nutty really in danger? What is the ghost trying to accomplish? With the help of William, Nutty finally decides to take the age-old advice, "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em," in this seventh book in the funny and popular series about Nutty Nutsell and his friends. Bookshare has all 8 books in the Nutty Nutsell series. The other 7 books are: Nutty for President, Nutty and the Case of the Ski-Slope Spy, Nutty and the Case of the Mastermind Thief, Nutty Can't Miss, Nutty Knows All, Nutty the Movie Star and Re-Elect Nutty. Once you've read one book about Nutty, a boy who gets into messes without even trying, you'll like him and his friend and want to read all of the Nutty books.

Nyaymandir: न्यायमंदिर
by Narayan Dharap“त्यानं आपले हात पसरले. नीलम त्याच्या कह्यात उभी राहिली. तिच्याभोवती त्याचे अजस्र हात एकत्र आले व तिच्या तोंडून शब्द निघायच्या आत एक दोन पावलं पुढे टाकून त्यानं खालच्या अंधाऱ्या गर्तेत उडी घेतली. शहराचे दिवे गरगरत वर येत आहेत असं नीलमला वाटलं. भीतीनं तिचा श्वास घशात अडकला. तिच्या तोंडून किंकाळी अर्धवटच निघाली… पण त्या दिव्यांची गती मंदावली, थांबली. ते दिवे तिच्या पायाखाली चक्राकार फिरले व दूरदूर जाऊ लागले. जयेंद्रनं आपले प्रचंड पंख मागं उघडले असले पाहिजेत. त्या शक्तिमान पंखाच्या प्रत्येक झडपेबरोबर ती वरवर चालली होती. प्रथम शहराचा विस्तीर्ण, मनोरम प्रदीपित देखावा तिच्या खाली पसरला; पण तोही लहान लहान होत गेला. इवल्याशा पांढऱ्या अभ्रीच्या कवचातून ते वर आले. त्यांच्या पायाखाली ते कापसाच्या रुजाम्यासारखे पसरले होते. त्यांच्याभोवती फक्त रात्रीचा थंड वारा आणि हिऱ्यासारख्या चांदण्या होत्या. नीलमला वाटलं हा विलक्षण आनंद आपल्या मनात सामावणार नाही. डोळे मिटून तिनं त्याच्या छातीवर डोकं टेकवलं. त्या कठीण आवरणातून तिच्या कानांना त्याचे छातीचे अति संथ ठोके जाणवत होते. ‘ठक्… ठक्…! ठक्… ठक्...’
