Tales from the Voynich Manuscript and The Island of Jan Mayen
by Alexander Copperwhite Donald SnowdenTwo independent stories of historical and religious intrigue are linked by the Voynich Manuscript, a centuries-old document and blueprint of advanced knowledge kept under wraps by religious authorities in the Vatican. The Vertebra of God details the fight of a Vatican priest who deciphered it, forced to flee Rome and go into hiding in Amsterdam, pursued for years by a shadowy, ruthless hitman with orders to kill him to prevent the knowledge in the manuscript becoming widespread. When word of the priest's whereabouts leaks out, the chase is on and the final battle is joined over a young student brought back to life by the priest. Set in Sicily, The Temple of One Thousand Crystals ranges from the Roman/Greek era to discoveries unearthed at a present-day archaeology site, a mysterious and macabre find that leads a pair of young students on a perilous journey. Romance blossoms along the way as they follow leads that bring them perilously close to revealing the existence of a clandestine order and secrets of the Voynich Manuscript en route to a surprising, wonder-inducing conclusion. The Island of Jon Mayen is set on an island in the frozen north off Norway, where icebergs drift by and slaughter at a weather tracking outspost leads to a small expedition of Norwegian soldiers and scientists heading there. A hidden agenda drives the leader of the scientific team, one with roots in World War II Nazi Germany and resistance of an unexpected kind that leads not only to a treasure trove but an unexpected showdown finale inside a dormant volcano sanctuary as the waves crash outside.

Tales of Natural and Unnatural Catastrophes: A Virago Modern Classic (Virago Modern Classics #12)
by Patricia HighsmithThe legendary writer Patricia Highsmith is best remembered today for her chilling psychological thrillers The Talented Mr. Ripley and Strangers on a Train, which was made into the classic film by Alfred Hitchcock and Raymond Chandler. A critically-acclaimed best seller in Europe, Highsmith struggled during her life for recognition in the United States, but since her death in 1995 Highsmith’s reputation has grown tremendously, and she is now recognized as one of the signature voices of the troubled twentieth century. "When the dust has settled,” critic A.N. Wilson wrote, "and when the chronicle of twentieth-century American literature comes to be written, history will place Highsmith at the top of the pyramid, as we should place Dostoevsky at the top of the Russian hierarchy of novelists.”Tales of Natural and Unnatural Catastrophes is the last short fiction published during Highsmith's lifetime. The ten eerily up-to-date stories chronicle a world gone slightly mad; environmental degradation, apocalyptic disaster, political chaos, and religious conservatism are captured in incisive prose that leaves us haunted with "afterimages that will tremble-but stay-in our minds” (The New Yorker).

Talghar: तळघर
by Narayan Dharap“ती जागी झाली होती. कशाने, तिला माहीत नव्हते. पण मनाला कोणत्या तरी खोलवरच्या पातळीवर धोक्याचा इशारा मिळाला असला पाहिजे. कारण तिच्या सर्व चित्तवृत्ती अत्यंत तीक्ष्णतेने आसपासच्या परिस्थितीचा वेध घेत होत्या. तीच ती चांदण्याने उजळलेली रात्र, तेच ते चंदेरी किरण… पण आता सर्वत्र एक निश्चलता होती-मोठी विलक्षण निश्चलता होती. वारा अजिबात पडला होता. झाडांचे एक पानही हलत नव्हते, ती सळसळत नव्हती- रातकिड्यांची किरकिर नव्हती-काहीही नव्हते. विलक्षण शांतता. हालचाल नाही. उघड्या खिडकीकडे पाहता पाहता तिला वाटले, हा खरा देखावा नाहीच, हे एक चित्र आहे-आपण खिडकीजवळ गेलो तर हाताला चित्रच लागेल. सर्व शरीर गारठून बधिर झाल्यासारखे वाटत होते. तिने हात उचलला, तो गालावर, कपाळावर, मानेपाशी धरला-पण हात आणि गाल दोन्ही बर्फासारखे गार होते… जणू उष्णता, ऊब या गोष्टी अस्तित्वातच नव्हत्या… कधी कधी शरीराला ऊबच मिळाली नव्हती… आणि या गारठविणाऱ्या भीतीतून मनाला तो स्पर्श झाला… उदासवाणी, घाणेरडी जागा सासूबाईंच्या जाऊबाई म्हणाल्या होत्या… आणि आता तिच्या आसपास तो तीव्र, तिखट, दुष्टतेचा अर्क एखाद्या धुक्यासारखा पसरला होता… तिला जाणवले की, खोलीत काहीतरी आले आहे… काहीतरी दुष्ट, विकृत, पापी, सडके, कुजके, शापित, अस्पर्श्य… त्या अतीव दुष्टतेच्या गाभ्यात एक अघोरी चेतना होती. त्या विकृतीच्या गर्भातून एक आवाज पुटपुटत आला… “मी आलो आहे."
