Book excerpt: Based on interviews with family members, colleagues, lovers, and the previously silent William Burroughs, this unsparing yet evenhanded biography guides the reader through the many personas, crises, and musical metamorphoses of David Bowie—also known as Davy Jones, the Laughing Gnome, Major Tom, Ziggy Stardust, Aladdin Sane, the Thin White Duke, a drug-addled grandfather of punk, actor, art aficionado, political activist, one of rock's most resonant icons, and a totem of modern pop culture. Nowhere else is the man and musician so convincingly deconstructed and so compellingly humanized.

In London, 1959, the Doctor does all he can to prevent Ace's tragic death, due to occur in a few hours. In the process he discovers further anomalies - swarms of giant ants emerging from the ground being among the least of his worries.

Download or read book Alien Virus Love Disaster written by Abbey Mei Otis and published by Small Beer Press. This book was released on 2018-08-14 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Philip K. Dick Award finalist Washington Post Best Science Fiction and Fantasy of 2018 Abbey Mei Otis’s short stories are contemporary fiction at its strongest: taking apart the supposed equality that is clearly just not there, putting humans under an alien microscope, putting humans under government control, putting kids from the moon into a small beach town and then the putting the rest of the town under the microscope as they react in ways we ope they would, and then, of course, in ways we’d hope they don’t. Otis has long been fascinated in using strange situations to explore dynamics of power, oppression, and grief, and the twelve stories collected here are at once a striking indictment of the present and a powerful warning about the future. “After I read this book, I woke up with bumpy, reddish growths along my spine. They burst, releasing marvels: aliens, robots, prefab houses, vinyl, chainlink, styrofoam, star stuff, tales from the edge of eviction, so many new worlds. Alien Virus Love Disaster is a super-intelligent infection. Let Abbey Mei Otis give you some lumps.” — Sofia Samatar, author of Tender

Download or read book Alien Hearts written by Guy de Maupassant and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2011-06-08 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alien Hearts was the last book that Guy de Maupassant finished before his death at the early age of forty-three. It is the most original and psychologically penetrating of his several novels, and the one in which he attains a truly tragic perception of the wounded human heart. André Mariolle is a rich, handsome, gifted young man who cannot settle on what to do with himself. Madame de Burne, a glacially dazzling beauty, wants Mariolle to attend her exclusive salon for artists, composers, writers, and other intellectuals. At first Mariolle keeps his distance, but then he hits on the solution to all his problems: caring for nothing in particular, he will devote himself to being in love; Madame de Burne will be his everything. Soon lover and beloved are equally lost within a hall of mirrors of their common devising. Richard Howard’s new English translation of this complex and brooding novel—the first in more than a hundred years—reveals the final, unexpected flowering of a great French realist’s art.

Her past relationships only left her heart aching and her self-esteem beaten down. But who needs them? She's doing just fine on her own. She has a booming home business, an adorable, mischievous dog, and she just became a first-time homeowner...right next door to the hottest man she's ever seen. Oh, did she mention that he happens to be an alien? An alien with dreamy, glowing eyes, wicked fangs and claws, and a tail. But she's not supposed to know that, and only finds out after her wonderfully considerate dog leaves a big, odorous gift in her neighbor's back yard-which promptly results in her being kidnapped. Now she's tied to the alien's bed, because of course he's come to Earth in search of a mate-and he wants Tabitha to fill that role. More specifically, he wants her to carry his baby. Saying he's moving fast seems like a bit of an understatement. Is Tabitha willing to accept her alien abductor as a mate? Is she ready to be a mother? And he's generous enough to give her four whole weeks to decide. It's not like it's the biggest decision of her life or anything...right?

Humanity does what it always does. We exploit them. Until, that is, the Wergens find a way to circumvent their addiction... From the towering skyscrapers of Earth to the methane lakes of Titan, from the ice-plains of Pluto to distant alien gas giants with steel-crushing gravity, Wergen: The Alien Love War explores personal stories of unrequited love set against the cosmic backdrop of the conflict between the two species. Mercurio D. Rivera's Wergen stories have wowed readers and critics alike. Now, for the first time, the full arc of the human/Wergen relations is revealed: the conflict, cooperation, love, betrayal, and more. "Mindblowing hard science fiction" - N.K. Jemisin, Hugo Award Winning Author "Rivera gradually introduces a surprising level of ambivalence and complexity. What initially seems benevolent becomes quite the opposite, before evolving again. There are twists followed by more twists, heightening a powerful sense of alienation and menace. The conceptual and ethical switchbacks... are dizzying." - Tor.com "Fascinating and satisfying... exploring the nature of love. Is love something deeply spiritual or simply the result of chemical reactions in the brain?" - The Fix "The mystery of love's origins and endings are universal for humans and aliens alike, something that transcends mere biochemistry." - Tangent Online "Rivera has shown great invention here and written something that will touch you deeply." - SF Revu

Download or read book Loving an Alien written by Angela Nicoara and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-06-02 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fancy a ride on the love train? Here's a book for your trip! 'Loving an Alien' is a riveting collection of intimate interviews with brave women who crossed the cultural divide and loved to tell the tale. Vive la difference! Here's how it all started... In 1995, when young Romanian journalist Angela Nicoara applied to the BBC School in Bucharest, it changed her life in ways she could never have imagined. Raised in the closed society of communist Romania and stung by a recent divorce, she doubted her chances for a better future. But then she met some British guy, in a gloomy corridor, and everything changed. "There was a power cut at BBC School. It was so dark I could hardly see him. We chatted for a few minutes, sharing a joke about the excellent conditions, and I had a feeling I'd never experienced before, as if I'd known him all my life. Why?" Turns out, Cupid had just fired a couple of arrows that landed bang on target. Angela and her Brit spent the next twenty years traveling and working around the world - with a brief stop in Las Vegas to get married - and are now settled in a tiny village in the mountains of Transylvania, with bears for neighbors. And that's where Angela got the idea for 'Loving an Alien'... "One winter's night, by our log fire, I started thinking about my girlfriends around the world, many of whom had married a foreigner. Their lives were so similar, and yet so different to my own. Hmm, why not share our experiences? What if I go back to how it all started for me? Put my journalist hat on and interview them? Ask about life on Planet Love - what might they say?" If you're into global travel, romance, life lessons, the do's and don'ts of an intimate relationship, how to manage your in-laws, how to finesse your outlaws, how to raise rootless, bi-lingual, 'third culture' kids, then snuggle up with 'Loving an Alien'. In a remarkably candid series of Q&A's with twenty-seven women of different nationalities, Angela reveals what makes a mixed marriage tick ... and how to keep the love clock running. "My college friends thought I was stupid, crazy, and throwing away a bright future." Jennifer "Some girls think marrying an expat is the road to riches, but that's not true." Sumi "I never thought I'd be with an African, someone so different, from this tiny village." Sophie "It wasn't like I came to Sri Lanka to marry a Sri Lankan. It just happened." Jessica "Marrying into a different culture means you are not trapped by your own, which is how I felt." Wang Angela Nicoara doesn't just spill the beans, she gets the recipe. It's not memoir. It's not fiction. It's love, visas and all. Long-distance. Long term. Join Angela on a journey to the heart of it!"
