Cash in Hand
by TA MooreThe last monster died a hundred years ago. At least, that’s what the monsters want you to think. Half-monster Cash just wants to keep his head down and raise his daughter, Ellie, to be an upstanding member of monstrous society. Even if she’d rather spend the summer with her human friends than learn the art of man traps at Camp Dark Hollow. So the last person Cash wants to see is her uncle Arkady Abascal, who’s also Cash’s ex-boyfriend. Arkady has more than Ellie’s summer plans on his mind. He’s there to enlist Cash to find out who’s been selling monster secrets. Cash hasn’t gotten any better at telling Arkady no, but it’s not just his weakness for Arkady that makes him agree. The Prodigium thinks an Abascal exposed them to humans, and now the whole family is at risk—including Ellie. Recruited to help Arkady identify the culprit—or frame a scapegoat—Cash finds the machinations of monstrous power easier to navigate than his feelings for Arkady. At least, at first. But when things get bloody, he wishes romantic disasters were all he had to worry about….
Casi nunca es para siempre: Microhistorias de amor
by Valeria SampedroEl amor se presenta de diferentes maneras: romances, amores imposibles, reencuentros, pasiones desbordadas y tragedias. Estas historias muestran el funcionamiento infinitamente diverso y muchas veces complicado de las relaciones amorosas. «Salió corriendo de aquel departamento. No le daban las manos para abrocharse el corpiño, juntar sus cosas, tirar todo rápido en la cartera y huir. Escaparse pronto de la necesidad de volver a verlo cuanto antes». «Deshacer la vida en común que habían montado supuso para ambos una tarea dolorosa, carísima y de cualquier modo injusta. De pronto el proyecto familiar se volvió un bien divisible». «Quiso que todos los domingos del resto de su vida fueran así, con ella en casa, pintándose las uñas, la luz entrando por el ventanal, leyendo el diario, conversando pavadas. Pensó es ahora, es esto. Le alcanzó un mate recién hecho y en modo tímido le preguntó: ¿te amo?». «Llovía a cántaros y ni había gugleado la película. Empezaba a ser desprolija en esta aventura de tener amante».
Casi todo desaparece
by Verónica Ramírez"Y si nos hubiéramos quedado, ¿dónde estaríamos ahora?, ¿cómo serían nuestras vidas?" La historia de Vera, como la de muchos exiliados, está signada por la pérdida y el sacrificio. Tras haber huido con su familia de los estragos de la Segunda Guerra Mundial que desintegró a su país y luego de vivir en el Perú durante varias décadas, Vera aún conserva intacta la imagen de su patria y, sobre todo, de aquellos seres y acontecimientos que moldearon su infancia y definieron su existencia para siempre. Asu memoria acuden los juegos con su hermano Alex y su amiga Misha, la rígida educación del padre, el amoroso trato de la madre, la miseria, el crimen, el miedo, pero también el coraje del joven ejército koschéi ante la amenaza de un enemigo cada vez más próximo y, finalmente, el temerario escape hacia una libertad ganada a costa de renuncias insalvables. Asediada por los recuerdos y la soledad, Vera decidirá emprender el regreso a ese lugar temido y amado donde ciertas pérdidas acaso puedan reaparecer. Contada en dos tiempos, que encauzan el doble impulso de su protagonista -hacia un pasado inextinguible y, también, hacia un enigmático porvenir-, Casi todo desaparece reproduce, con notable dominio de la tensión narrativa, el emocionante devenir de una memoria de heridas abiertas y valerosos desafíos.
