Sandman
by William W. JohnstoneKIDS DO THE DARNDEST THINGS . . .Paul Kelly had a very big temper for such a small boy. When he tired of his toys he smashed them. When a dog or cat got in his way, he kicked them. And when other children told on him, he made sure they were very, very sorry . . . CHILD'S PLAY . . .But that was nothing compared to what Paul discovered next. Which was that if he didn't like certain people, he could make it so he'd never have to see them again. Ever. And no one would suspect such a little boy of such a horrible deed. Of such monstrous powers. No one would ever guess that killing could be much more fun than playing with dump trucks and sandboxes. Especially the way Paul did it . . .

Sandokan
by Nanni Balestrini Antony ShugaarI'm never coming back to my home town.A major Italian author's tale of growing up with Italy's most brutal criminal enterprise, the Camorra. This striking novella is based on first-hand research of the Camorra, an Italian organized crime network more powerful and violent than the Mafia. It's the brutal organization that was recently exposed by Roberto Saviano, both in his brilliant non-fiction account and the film adaptation. Saviano, as it turns out, first interviewed Camorra members while working as a research assistant to Nanni Balestrini, collecting the stories that would become Sandokan. Though fiction, Sandokan is horribly, devastatingly real. The narrator is a resigned victim of the Camorra. The Camorra members are his neighbors, and he presents an uncompromising description of a world under savage occupation, the true combination of backwardness, violence, and ambition that locks small-town southern Italy under the control of organized crime. It is one of the most meaningful and riveting books to have been produced by Italian literature of recent years, by one of Italy's most significant authors.The Contemporary Art of the Novella series is designed to highlight work by major authors from around the world. In most instances, as with Imre Kertész, it showcases work never before published; in others, books are reprised that should never have gone out of print. It is intended that the series feature many well-known authors and some exciting new discoveries. And as with the original series, The Art of the Novella, each book is a beautifully packaged and inexpensive volume meant to celebrate the form and its practitioners.

After discovering what she suspected to be a terrorists' killing ground, she immediately encountered two armed men who were set to add her to their growing pile of corpses.When the shooting had ceased, Harri stepped cautiously from her vine covered hiding place and found herself looking down the barrel of an assault rifle. On the other end of the rifle was the other ape from the airport--the one with the handlebar mustache.As she stood waiting for the bullet she fully expected would take her permanently out of action, she felt the hair begin to raise on the nape of her neck; this ape must be one of those kinky animals that plays with their food before eating it. Harri felt that her only choice was to force his hand. She still held the .9mm Glock, and all she had to do was raise it enough to get his attention, and she would too before she would allow him to torture her. The seconds ticked off and Harri's arm began to slowly rise. Then she heard the man's gravely voice speaking in perfect English, "You're damned lucky I came along when I did. That sucker there had a bead on you, and he was pulling the trigger. And you can also be thankful I'm an excellent shot, because that one wouldn't have missed like the first stupid jackal did. That first one couldn't hit the side of a mountain with a cannon ...and I didn't kill him just because he was trying to kill you... I killed him because the creep just kept getting in my way!. Harri groaned silently, Oh God, this dude is just as crazy as the two apes he just took out...
