Book excerpt: The moon hung high in the midnight sky, casting an ethereal glow upon the deserted streets of Lourdes, a small town tucked away in the heart of the French countryside. Simone Delacroix, a young woman burdened by an unyielding sense of emptiness, wandered through the winding alleys, her footsteps echoing in the silence of the night. In the shadows, the remnants of shattered glass littered the cobblestones, a stark reflection of the broken pieces of Simone's own life. Her once-vibrant spirit had been fractured by the weight of expectations and the suffocating conformity of her existence. Trapped in a cycle of pleasing others, she had lost touch with the true essence of her being. A peculiar mirror caught Simone's attention, standing alone in a dimly lit corner of an antiquities shop. Its ornate frame seemed to beckon to her, whispering secrets from ages long past. As she approached, an irresistible pull drew her closer, and before she knew it, she stood before the mirror, mesmerized by her own reflection. But what she saw was not the familiar face she had grown accustomed to. Instead, a stranger stared back at her—a woman with fiery eyes that mirrored her own inner turmoil, with wild, untamed hair that mirrored her desire for freedom. It was a reflection that spoke of hidden depths and untapped potential, of a dormant power waiting to be awakened. A surge of curiosity and longing coursed through Simone's veins. With trembling hands, she reached out and touched the mirror's surface. In that instant, the world around her seemed to shift and dissolve, giving way to a realm beyond her wildest imagination.

Download or read book A Cathedral of Myth and Bone written by Kat Howard and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2019-01-08 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the acclaimed author of Roses and Rot—a “Brothers Grimm tale for the contemporary reader” (School Library Journal, starred review)—Kat Howard’s exquisite shorter works, nominated for the World Fantasy Award, and performed on WNYC’s Selected Shorts—called “brilliant” (Library Journal, starred review). Kat Howard’s “dark and enticing” (Publishers Weekly) debut novel, Roses and Rot, was beloved by critics and fans alike. Now, you can experience her collected shorter works, including two new stories, in A Cathedral of Myth and Bone. In these stories, equally as beguiling and spellbinding as her novels, Howard expands into the enchanted territory of myths and saints, as well as an Arthurian novella set upon a college campus, “Once, Future,” which retells the story of King Arthur—through the women’s eyes. Captivating and engrossing, and adorned in gorgeous prose, Kat Howard’s stories are a fresh and stylish take on fantasy. “Kat Howard seems to possess a magic of her own, of making characters come alive and scenery so vivid, you forget it exists only on the page” (Anton Bogomazov, Politics and Prose).

Download or read book Sanctuary and Requiem For A Nun written by William Faulkner and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2013-04-16 with total page 537 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Set in fictitious Yoknapatawpha County, the backdrop for many of William Faulkner’s other novels, Sanctuary and Requiem for a Nun recount the tumultuous and tragic life of Temple Drake. In the 1931 novel Sanctuary, Temple is a student at Ole Miss university when her idyllic life is altered after she is sexually assaulted by the criminal Popeye. Faulkner revisits Temple, now a married mother in Requiem for a Nun, as she awaits the execution of her child’s murderer. Beginning with the judgment of the death sentence, Faulkner’s taut narrative focuses on how one’s past can impact the future of an entire family. William Faulkner was a relatively unknown author until he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1949. Since then, he has become recognized for his candid and sometimes controversial writing on life in the American South. Published in 1931, Sanctuary established William Faulkner’s literary reputation, and, because of its subject matter, continues to be considered one of his more controversial novels.

Download or read book Hicks Tribes and Dirty Realists written by Robert Rebein and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2014-07-11 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robert Rebein argues that much literary fiction of the 1980s and 90s represents a triumphant, if tortured, return to questions about place and the individual that inspired the works of Hawthorne, Melville, Twain, Faulkner, and other giants of American literature. Concentrating on the realist bent and regional orientation in contemporary fiction, he discusses in detail the various names by which this fiction has been described, including literary postmodernism, minimalism, Hick Chic, Dirty Realism, ecofeminism, and more. Rebein's clearly written, nuanced interpretations of works by Raymond Carver, Cormac McCarthy, Don DeLillo, Louise Erdrich, Dorothy Allison, Barbara Kingsolver, E. Annie Proulx, Chris Offut, and others, will appeal to a wide range of readers.
