Download or read book Just an Ordinary Day written by Shirley Jackson and published by Bantam. This book was released on 2009-10-21 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Jackson at her best: plumbing the extraordinary from the depths of mid-twentieth-century common. [Just an Ordinary Day] is a gift to a new generation.”—San Francisco Chronicle Acclaimed in her own time for her short story “The Lottery” and her novel The Haunting of Hill House—classics ranking with the work of Edgar Allan Poe—Shirley Jackson blazed a path for contemporary writers with her explorations of evil, madness, and cruelty. Soon after her untimely death in 1965, Jackson’s children discovered a treasure trove of previously unpublished and uncollected stories, many of which are brought together in this remarkable collection. Here are tales of torment, psychological aberration, and the macabre, as well as those that display her lighter touch with humorous scenes of domestic life. Reflecting the range and complexity of Jackson’s talent, Just an Ordinary Day reaffirms her enduring influence and celebrates her singular voice, rich with magic and resonance. Praise for Shirley Jackson “[Jackson’s] work exerts an enduring spell.”—Joyce Carol Oates “Shirley Jackson’s stories are among the most terrifying ever written.”—Donna Tartt “An amazing writer . . . If you haven’t read [Jackson] you have missed out on something marvelous.”—Neil Gaiman “Shirley Jackson is unparalleled as a leader in the field of beautifully written, quiet, cumulative shudders.”—Dorothy Parker “An author who not only writes beautifully but who knows what there is, in this world, to be scared of.”—Francine Prose “The world of Shirley Jackson is eerie and unforgettable.”—A. M. Homes “Jackson enjoyed notoriety and commercial success within her lifetime, and yet it still hardly seems like enough for a writer so singular. When I meet readers and other writers of my generation, I find that mentioning her is like uttering a holy name.”—Victor LaValle

Book excerpt: “...a sweeping literary travelogue that evokes Kerouac’s On the Road and Salinger’s Catcher in the Rye…” Hitchhiking and motorcycling are means to a destination, but you can’t outrun your demons. Cast away by his first love and cast out by the military, Levi takes to the open road in search of absolute freedom. When tragedy strikes, will his freedom end? Will the entanglement of love, the strings and attachments he’s disavowed, or his past mistakes drag him toward the traditional life he despises?

Download or read book Rain written by Sandy Robertson and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2017-06-23 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sounds of sirens mingled with stranger's worried voices as she struggled to make sense of the scene around her. A shoe -- her shoe -- lay in the intersection and raindrops clung to her fingertips before falling away. She felt a strong pair of arms embracing her, holding her as the sirens grew closer. She couldn't see his face, but she knew he was the one she had been running from when she veered in front of that car. Who was he, really? The mysterious benefactor who had been appearing and then disappointingly disappearing through most of her life...who was he? She wanted to turn to look him in the eye but she couldn't, and the rain fell softly now. Everything seemed to be slowing down. The sirens faded and she reluctantly closed her eyes, not sure whether she'd ever open them again. Rain is a fictional story of reflection in which memories return to a coma patient as she remembers childhood challenges and setbacks, the joys of starting a family of her own, and the heart-breaking twists and turns of a too-short life. It is the story of one girl's journey through an overburdened system that largely fails her, of her resilience and refusal to give up, and her discovery that family really is forever.

Now Clare must pay the price for digging up the secrets of the past . . . and confront an evil that may be unstoppable—because those who practice it believe it is divine.
