Book excerpt: Revenge, guide dogs, cats big and small, beleaguered ladies of a certain age, troubled men, a cop with a tarnished heart: meet them here. The characters in these seven tales and two novellas are fighters. They fight for justice, even if their sense of justice is warped, but more often they must fight to save their own lives. Many of the stories in this collection have won or been short-listed for major awards like the Derringer. Glow Grass was a finalist for the 2016 Arthur Ellis Award for Best Novella. "Madeleine Harris Callway is a highly skilled writer of power and purpose. Glow Grass showcases her remarkable ability to draw a picture of the daily lives of ordinary people that somehow becomes a portrait of unavoidable terror. Whether it is a boss whose attitude inspires the desire to kill, or a romantic relationship that changes rapidly from dream to nightmare or a trip to cottage country so hellish that the reader will never want to go there again, these stories skillfully cross the line between the usual and the terrifying. Even innocent pets are suspect. And you will never think about having a government job in the same way in the future. This is a collection not to be missed and an experience not to be forgotten." Rosemary Aubert, author of the award-winning Ellis Portal mystery series "Enjoy every gem in this fine collection by the very talented M.H. Callway. These award-winning stories are dark, funny, insightful and original and they deal with every manner of life's vicissitudes. From workplaces deceptions to life crises and trying to start over but getting tripped up in revenge, this collection has it all from intriguing flash fiction and speculative fiction to a compelling novella. Callway's elegance prose and gripping plots will have you hooked!" Lisa de Nikolits, winner Bronze Ippy Award, 2016

Download or read book Mother Box and Other Tales written by Sarah Blackman and published by University of Alabama Press. This book was released on 2013-10-04 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The eleven stories and one novella of Mother Box, and Other Tales bring together everyday reality and something that is dramatically not in compelling narratives of new possibilities. In language that is both barb and bauble, bitter and unbearably sweet, Sarah Blackman spins the threads of stories where everything is probable and nothing is constant. The stories in Mother Box, and Other Tales occur in an in-between world of outlandish possibility that has become irrefutable reality: a woman gives birth to seven babies and realizes at one of their weddings that they were foxes all along; a girl with irritating social quirks has been raised literally by cardboard boxes; a young woman throws a dinner party only to have her elaborate dessert upstaged by one of the guests who, as it turns out, is the moon. Love between mothers and children is a puzzling thrum that sounds at the very edge of hearing; a muted pulse that, nevertheless, beats and beats and beats. In these tales, the prosaic details of everyday life—a half-eaten sandwich, an unopened pack of letters on a table—take on fevered significance as the characters blunder into revelations that occlude even as they unfold.

Download or read book No Time for Pity and Other Tales written by Barbara Yates Rothwell and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2008-04-09 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From more than 150 short stories produced during four decades of professional writing, Barbara has picked twenty that show a variety of themes, from humour to tragedy, love to hate, revealing a wide range of human emotions and yearnings, and the highs and lows that make humanity such a fascinating study. The opening story, No Time for Pity, is a new look at an old crime: the murders of two young princes in the Tower of London, 1483. Australians are all too aware of the theme of Beached Spirit - the unwelcome arrival of beached whales. For light relief, The Cornish Pot introduces a real fairy, and in Whatever Happened to Love? the eccentricities of the aristocracy meet head-on with the end result of an ungentlemanly act. Malcolm, 15, goes to The Island to escape the irritations of family life, but the island's peace is transitory. The Old Bloke introduces us to a tramp, whose unchanging routine is shattered when he finds a dollar coin outside a fairground. How wrong can you be? The author in Breakfast in Paradise fancies himself as a student of human nature. But his confidence is deflated when breakfast at the Hotel Paradiso turns briefly into chaos. Are people ever what they seem? The final story, The Wallflower, has been included because of its special status in Barbara's career - it was the first she ever sold, and it was broadcast by the BBC.
