Download or read book The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time written by Mark Haddon and published by Anchor Canada. This book was released on 2009-02-24 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A bestselling modern classic—both poignant and funny—narrated by a fifteen year old autistic savant obsessed with Sherlock Holmes, this dazzling novel weaves together an old-fashioned mystery, a contemporary coming-of-age story, and a fascinating excursion into a mind incapable of processing emotions. Christopher John Francis Boone knows all the countries of the world and their capitals and every prime number up to 7,057. Although gifted with a superbly logical brain, Christopher is autistic. Everyday interactions and admonishments have little meaning for him. At fifteen, Christopher’s carefully constructed world falls apart when he finds his neighbour’s dog Wellington impaled on a garden fork, and he is initially blamed for the killing. Christopher decides that he will track down the real killer, and turns to his favourite fictional character, the impeccably logical Sherlock Holmes, for inspiration. But the investigation leads him down some unexpected paths and ultimately brings him face to face with the dissolution of his parents’ marriage. As Christopher tries to deal with the crisis within his own family, the narrative draws readers into the workings of Christopher’s mind. And herein lies the key to the brilliance of Mark Haddon’s choice of narrator: The most wrenching of emotional moments are chronicled by a boy who cannot fathom emotions. The effect is dazzling, making for one of the freshest debut in years: a comedy, a tearjerker, a mystery story, a novel of exceptional literary merit that is great fun to read.

His death seems to have been caused by a heart attack, but the victim's best friend, Dr. Mortimer, is convinced that the strike was due to a supernatural creature, which haunts the moor in the shape of an enormous hound, with blazing eyes and jaws. In order to protect Baskerville's heir, Sir Henry, who's arriving to London from Canada, Dr. Mortimer asks for Sherlock Holmes' help, telling him also of the so-called Baskervilles' curse, according to which a monstrous hound has been haunting and killing the family males for centuries, in revenge for the misdeeds of one Sir Hugo Baskerville, who lived at the time of Oliver Cromwell.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice Selection "The most exciting and definitive collection of Lovecraft's work out there." –Danielle Trussoni, New York Times Book Review No lover of gothic literature will want to be without this literary keepsake, the final volume of Leslie Klinger’s tour-de-force chronicle of Lovecraft’s canon. In 2014, The New Annotated H. P. Lovecraft was published to widespread acclaim— vaunted as a “treasure trove” (Joyce Carol Oates) for Lovecraft aficionados and general readers, alike. Hailed by Harlan Ellison as an “Olympian landmark of modern gothic literature,” the volume included twenty-two of Lovecraft’s original stories. Now, in this final volume, best- selling author Leslie S. Klinger reanimates twenty-five additional stories, the balance of Lovecraft’s significant fiction, including “Rats in the Wall,” a post– World War I story about the terrors of the past, and the newly contextualized “The Horror at Red Hook,” which recently has been adapted by best- selling novelist Victor LaValle. In following Lovecraft’s own literary trajectory, readers can witness his evolution from Rhode Island critic to prescient literary genius whose titanic influence would only be appreciated decades after his death. Including hundreds of eye- opening annotations and dozens of rare images, Beyond Arkham finally provides the complete picture of Lovecraft’s unparalleled achievements in fiction.

And wait, is Skater Baby heading for the huge, scary Mega Ramp?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: «La novela surgió de un comentario que escuchó Conan Doyle de su amigo Fletcher Robinson sobre un perro espectral que merodeaba cerca de su casa en Dartmoor. Fue publicada por primera vez como serial en The Strand Magazine en 1901, y al año siguiente en forma de libro debido a su enorme éxito. Desaparecido en las cataratas de Reichenbach cuando resolvía el caso de ?El problema final? ?última historia de Las aventuras de Sherlock Holmes (nº 4 de El Canon)?, el gran detective reaparece ocho años después en esta novela, a medio camino entre el género gótico de terror y la historia de detectives, gracias a la presión popular sobre su autor, que había decidido abandonar los relatos de Sherlock Holmes. Henry Baskerville, último vástago de una antiquísima familia, se ve obligado a viajar de Canadá al Reino Unido a causa de la repentina muerte de su tío Charles en extrañas circunstancias. A su llegada descubre que, entre otros misterios relacionados con la muerte de Sir Charles, existe una vieja leyenda en los alrededores del páramo de Dartmoor sobre un enorme sabueso que merodea por el lugar y que estaría relacionado con una vieja maldición familiar. El doctor James Mortimer, amigo de la familia, requiere los servicios del afamado detective Sherlock Holmes para que arroje luz sobre un caso tan oscuro, confrontando las certidumbres de la ciencia y la razón con las leyendas y supersticiones del pasado. El detective acepta el reto y se dispone a viajar a Devon para resolver el caso..»
