Book excerpt: #1 New York Times Bestseller “Funny and smart as hell” (Bill Gates), Allie Brosh’s Hyperbole and a Half showcases her unique voice, leaping wit, and her ability to capture complex emotions with deceptively simple illustrations. FROM THE PUBLISHER: Every time Allie Brosh posts something new on her hugely popular blog Hyperbole and a Half the internet rejoices. This full-color, beautifully illustrated edition features more than fifty percent new content, with ten never-before-seen essays and one wholly revised and expanded piece as well as classics from the website like, “The God of Cake,” “Dogs Don’t Understand Basic Concepts Like Moving,” and her astonishing, “Adventures in Depression,” and “Depression Part Two,” which have been hailed as some of the most insightful meditations on the disease ever written. Brosh’s debut marks the launch of a major new American humorist who will surely make even the biggest scrooge or snob laugh. We dare you not to. FROM THE AUTHOR: This is a book I wrote. Because I wrote it, I had to figure out what to put on the back cover to explain what it is. I tried to write a long, third-person summary that would imply how great the book is and also sound vaguely authoritative—like maybe someone who isn’t me wrote it—but I soon discovered that I’m not sneaky enough to pull it off convincingly. So I decided to just make a list of things that are in the book: Pictures Words Stories about things that happened to me Stories about things that happened to other people because of me Eight billion dollars* Stories about dogs The secret to eternal happiness* *These are lies. Perhaps I have underestimated my sneakiness!
Download or read book The Black Spider written by Jeremias Gotthelf and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2013-10-08 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An NYRB Classics Original It is a sunny summer Sunday in a remote Swiss village, and a christening is being celebrated at a lovely old farmhouse. One of the guests notes an anomaly in the fabric of the venerable edifice: a blackened post that has been carefully built into a trim new window frame. Thereby hangs a tale, one that, as the wise old grandfather who has lived all his life in the house proceeds to tell it, takes one chilling turn after another, while his audience listens in appalled silence. Featuring a cruelly overbearing lord of the manor and the oppressed villagers who must render him service, an irreverent young woman who will stop at nothing, a mysterious stranger with a red beard and a green hat, and, last but not least, the black spider, the tale is as riveting and appalling today as when Jeremias Gotthelf set it down more than a hundred years ago. The Black Spider can be seen as a parable of evil in the heart or of evil at large in society (Thomas Mann saw it as foretelling the advent of Nazism), or as a vision, anticipating H. P. Lovecraft, of cosmic horror. There’s no question, in any case, that it is unforgettably creepy.

Revelation 21: 1 (RSV) Holy Bible A faraway place, a distant future... Beyond the horizon threshold, a note in a Coke bottle floating down the river; how did it get there? Where did it come from?

To rescue a Renoloi village from an unnatural predator, Tian, Ames, Reed and their team cross uncharted lands and embark on a treacherous voyage on a mysterious green sea, encountering a ghost ship from the Bermuda Triangle of long ago. With no passengers or crew, the vessel has somehow reappeared in an unnatural circular storm. To an even more inexplicable island in this volatile, ephemeral world; and whispered words: Mr. Ames, he is like you. Are they captives within a time warp, a tear in the fabric of time, or something more, much more? Pursued by the most wicked killers ever unleashed on innocent people in a primitive world, the rescue partys worst fears are realized. Driven by insatiable madness, they are relentless; beyond savage, they are monsters. They are Night Hunters. Tenaciously, the ultimate evil has followed from the distant past. It has come for them, hell-bent on taking them, killing them all of them. Despite unending adversity and the ruthless treachery pursuing them, the team must persevere in its quest for the Secret of the Legends; a race against time on a world destined for change... cataclysmic change. ...Something yet Unfinished.

Download or read book The Everborn written by Nicholas Grabowsky and published by Black Bed Sheet Books. This book was released on 2012-04-01 with total page 520 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nicholas Grabowsky's award-winning, widely-praised aliens-among-us horror/science fiction epic, available for the first time packaged and edited the way it was intended to be! The Everborn concerns the offspring of fallen angels that have lived among us since the dawn of man. Throughout the ages, they live life after life in normal society until each one falls in love and fathers his own child. Before that child is born, they undergo a rapid degeneration into a fetal state before they disappear entirely and become reborn into a new life, essentially becoming their own fathers. All of them male, they live out their commonplace lives under the covert protection of Watchmaids, inter-dimensional female beings whose purpose is to ensure no harm comes to them under penalty of banishment into a state of eternal loneliness. When an Everborn is reborn as a set of twins, one a soulless serial killer on a quest to be born again into a sinless life and the other a kind-hearted ghostwriter for a world-famous rock-and-roll horror novelist, a banished Watchmaid claims her role in an ancient prophecy to use the soulless twin as a means to re-enter our world and bring about its destruction.
