Book excerpt: By the bestselling author of The Talented Mr Ripley, Carol and Strangers on a Train * 'By opening this book, you've given Patricia Highsmith permission to follow you, catch you, take you apart. Get ready to run' CARMEN MARIA MACHADO * 'Every story shimmers like a dark gem as Highsmith turns her gimlet eye on domesticity, suburban madness, toxic families and the loneliness of childhood. Often mordantly funny and always psychologically acute, this collection is not to be missed' MEGAN ABBOTT * 'The sheer macabre, amoral brilliance of Patricia Highsmith surely makes her one of the finest writers in the English language' RICHARD OSMAN INTRODUCED BY CARMEN MARIA MACHADO Patricia Highsmith was one of the great twentieth-century novelists, celebrated for classics The Talented Mr Ripley, Carol and Strangers on a Train, but she was also a masterful and prolific short-story writer. This definitive new collection, featuring two stories that have never been published before, confirms Highsmith as a genius of the genre. Peerlessly disturbing, exhilarating and savagely funny, Highsmith's stories still have the power to startle, presenting a world that is frighteningly familiar and as relevant today as when they were written. * Includes two newly discovered stories * This is the only volume of Highsmith's stories to select from a lifetime of short-story writing

A.D. 2020 A post-Pulse city crawling with cops on the take, crooks on the make, genetically engineered supersoldiers, and hundreds of thousands of plain folks just hanging on by a thread to the sputtering engine that was once the all-powerful American economy . . . November 12, 2021: My name is Logan Cale—though whoever finds this material will undoubtedly know me better as Eyes Only. In the years after the Pulse struck, greed, corruption, and cruelty exploded on a scale I never before imagined possible. Something had to be done. I began working as an investigative journalist to expose the truth, but the truth brought a lot of enemies out of the woodwork. So I went undercover, and EYES ONLY was born. For years, with the help of a lot of good people, we’ve uncovered many wrongs and made them right. No matter what the dangers, this work needs to survive, and continue . . . especially some of the more explosive facts still need to be revealed. Facts concerning the Grand Coulee massacre, the secret government program known as The Phoenix Project, and the Conclave’s breeding program, to name but a few. Putting these documents together in one place poses a big risk—not just to the corrupt, but to the innocent as well. Yet the chance that these truths might remain unspoken is an even bigger risk. People may die, but the truth must live on.

The Terrestrial Veil is ripping, and demons walk the streets past unseeing mortals. Dark, sticky fear drips from every face, and nightmares haunt Brielle’s sleep. Worst of all, Jake is gone. The only boy she’s ever loved has been taken by the demon, Damien. When she receives instructions from the Throne Room leading her to Jake, she unknowingly walks into a diabolical and heartbreaking trap. Now she’s stranded in a sulfurous desert with the Prince of Darkness himself, and he’s offering her another halo—a mirrored ring that will destroy her Celestial vision. All she has to do is wear it and she’ll see no more of the invisible world. No more fear. No more nightmares. No more demons. It’s a gift. And best of all: it comes with the promise of a future with Jake, something the Throne Room seems to be taking from her. Will Brielle trade the beauty of the Celestial and the truth of the world around her just to feel ordinary again?

Download or read book The Trajectory of a Fallen Angel written by Shona Moller and published by Pallete Press. This book was released on 2017-07-01 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A disturbing, emotively-charged romantic thriller. This debut novel is quintessentially New Zealand; it is set on the sultry West Coast, it references New Zealand artists, and as expected from an artist author, it is an intensely visual read. The Trajectory of a Fallen Angel introduces Emma Blake, a gritty young heroine as she accepts a position at a remote village school on the West Coast of New Zealand. Tairuanui is a village of misfits; a place where everyone, it seems, is living out their Plan B. Struggling to come to terms with her past, Emma attracts the attention of Jono, an enigmatic local Maori with secrets of his own. Initially created as a feminist stance against the cardboard cut-out roles often reserved for women in literature and film, Jono eventually emerges as a fully developed character. Meanwhile, the Group; a church based on Closed Brethren doctrine is operating out of an ancient Pa site in the bush. It sets its sights on Emma and her journey to rescue, and recovery, is a bumpy ride. The Trajectory of a Fallen Angel is for readers who demand a visceral experience; Emma Blake is darkly funny, gutsy, angry. She has a blunt, sometimes abrasive first-person delivery. She approaches conflict with real passion. She discloses her sexual encounters with an open pragmatic honesty as they reflect the intensity, or lack thereof, of her relationships and the level of respect she holds for herself and for others. Emma's story allows for an intimate examination of guilt and its effects. The Trajectory of a Fallen Angel is evocative of humanity, with all its flaws and heartbreaks, and of the physical environment.

When archaeologist Angelo Morelli asks Ruth Galloway to come to the Italian countryside to help identify bones found in picturesque Fontana Liri, she jumps at the chance to go—and brings her daughter along for what she assumes will be a working vacation.
