Crooked Daylight by Helen Slavin Pdf

A quirky novel of magic, mystery, and sisterhood, from “a highly original talent” (Beryl Bainbridge, author of Master Georgie). The Way sisters, Anna, Charlie, and Emz, were raised in two worlds. Their mother’s realm of reason, measurement, and logic, and the world inhabited by their spectacularly unconventional grandmother, Hettie. While their mother worked, the sisters ran wild at Hettie’s Cob Cottage, discovering forbidden Pike Lake, unknowable Havoc Wood, and what their grandmother referred to only as “The Strengths.” But time passed, the sisters grew up, work and relationships and their mother’s world won them over, and The Strengths lay forgotten . . . until Hettie passes away suddenly, leaving behind Cob Cottage and a whole lot of questions. Anna is busy trying very hard not to cry as she caters yet another wedding, Charlie is spending more time at the job she loves than with the boyfriend she’s not quite sure about, and Emz is dreaming up new ways to avoid school and the drama that comes with it. But can they deal with strange guests, unexpected danger, and some long-forgotten memories? “A born writer.” —Susan Hill, author of The Woman in Black

The Ice King by Helen Slavin Pdf

This dark fantasy tale from “a highly original talent” introduces the weird world of the Way family (Beryl Bainbridge). When Vanessa Way is a little girl, she is told not to go near Pike Lake. But the forbidden lake only becomes more alluring, as does the wood where time and light don’t quite follow the rules. Her world is full of secrets—and she suspects her unconventional mother is hiding some secrets of her own. Lachlan Laidlaw is a student of the unexplained and the inconvenient. Some call it ghost hunting; most call it nonsense. But Lachlan knows there is something out there, lurking at the borders of things. He also knows that he belongs Elsewhere, away from his small town and beyond the stuffy halls of academia. Somewhere cold where the snow lies deep white. As Vanessa comes of age and leaves home, she and Lachlan will each head off in search of something more, both blissfully unaware of what that may be—of each other, and of the darkness their destinies hold.

The Fluger by Doris Piserchia Pdf

The Fluger was five meters long, had four thick legs, a body of impenetrable molecular density and numerous teeth capable of chewing diamonds into powder. It was four hundred massive kilos of violence, savagery and hatred. When the Fluger arrived as unlisted cargo in the enclosed city of Olympus, it launched itself on a murderous rampage which couldn't be halted. It presented that terrified utopian community with the problem of how to stop an irresistible force. The only answer seemed to be a hired alien assassin - an outer-space humanoid about whom the citizens of Olympus knew next to nothing except that he was a professional killer who would not quit until his job was done. But when the irresistible force met the immovable object they turned that fragile city in the sky into a raging battlefield, and their 'savior' looked to become as much of a menace as his monster counterpart.

The Stories of Vladimir Nabokov by Vladimir Nabokov Pdf

From the writer who shocked and delighted the world with his novels Lolita, Pale Fire, and Ada, or Ardor, and so many others, comes a magnificent collection of stories. Written between the 1920s and 1950s, these sixty-five tales--eleven of which have been translated into English for the first time--display all the shades of Nabokov's imagination. They range from sprightly fables to bittersweet tales of loss, from claustrophobic exercises in horror to a connoisseur's samplings of the table of human folly. Read as a whole, The Stories of Vladimir Nabokov offers and intoxicating draft of the master's genius, his devious wit, and his ability to turn language into an instrument of ecstasy.

Flying Crooked by Jan Michael Pdf

There are many books about the processes people go through when they discover they have cancer. What makes Flying Crooked different is the author's acceptance of the disease and its consequences. She continues to enjoy life, refuses radiotherapy, and rejects the idea of wearing a prosthesis after a mastectomy. The choices she makes are in sharp contrast to those made by her ex-lover, Simon, who shortly after her operation is diagnosed with prostate cancer. Their different ways of coping form a well-balanced diptych: on her part, acceptance and the peace that this brings; on his, fighting and anger at the cost of precious energy and enjoyment. Flying Crooked describes the process of a search for balance. The open, direct, and unsentimental manner in which Michael describes her decisions as well as her experiences in and out of the hospital take this from an account of coping with disease to an inspirational story of love, friendship, and faith.
