Easy Money and Other Stories by Steve Evans Pdf

""In a terrifically impressive collection of short short-fictions, Steve Evans takes us on a tour of the metaphorical sinkholes of suburbia. Via his observant eye and febrile imagination, we behold the mischievous and manic, the tawdry and tragic, and more. We come upon familiar scenes that then glow in a broadband delivery of hyper-realism. Second-hand books become a successful stalking strategy. A private letter-burning becomes a communal cleansing. In a final afternoon tea, a potential inheritance is consumed in gold-leaf-infused cakes. A deposit-secured wedding cake, a promised book of window paintings, a normal Bay-City tram ... never arrive."" Moya Costello, author of 'The Office as a Boat: a chronicle'

When God Laughs And Other Stories by Jack London Pdf

Named after the first story about a couple that tries in vain to uphold an intensely idealistic romance against the erosions of time and the inconstancy of human nature the collection explores themes for which London became famous: the struggle for survival in the midst of hostile environments, human nature's most elemental drives, and worker abuse in industrialized society. In The Apostate, a grim story about a young man who is brutalized by the working conditions in a textile mill, yet achieves a kind of liberation in the end. London's fascination with primitive male characters is evident in Just Meat, a story of two thieves who plot each other's demise in a selfish grab for a hoard of recently stolen jewelry. Here are a marvelous selection of Jack London's short fiction, including: When God Laughs * The Apostate * A Wicked Woman * ""Just Meat"" Created He Them * The Chinago * Make Westing * Semper Idem * A Nose for the King The ""Francis Spaight"" * A Curious Fragment * A Piece of Steak

The Secret of the Old Warehouse, And Other Stories by Imelda Rose Kaufman Pdf

Jacob Malloy was a strong, energetic lad of thirteen who lived with his family in the small suburb of Baytown. His life was far from boring because school and church always provided plenty of activities. However, being of an inquisitive nature, Jake was ever ready for something new and different. He was intrigued by an old, abandoned warehouse near the railroad tracks. What it had been used for originally, he had no idea, but he was itching to get inside and look around. Surely, there must be something of interest in that old building! Any chance of his being able to satisfy his curiosity, however, seemed nonexistent because the windows were boarded up. Imagine his surprise when one Saturday on his way to his friend's house, he noticed that one of the boards had come loose and was hanging by a nail! This was an opportunity not to be missed! He convinced his friend, a rather reluctant Joe Reilly, to accompany him on this adventure. Together, they managed to open the window and squeeze through it. The boys found that though seemingly abandoned, the building was not vacant! Their adventure turned deadly when they were discovered and imprisoned! The story shifts back and forth from them to their frantic parents and friends and the efforts made to find them. There is a story within the story as friends, Robert and Jonathan, and their parents have an adventure of their own and make a life-changing discovery.

The Dark Side 2:Day Zero and Other Stories by Adrian Tilley Pdf

The Dark Side 2: Day Zero and Other Stories is a mix of stories, dividing broadly between six’horror’ stories and six’thriller’ stories. Horror stories often fill us with dread and show us a much darker side of human behaviour. At the same time, they can be funny and satirical. The other six stories are more varied. Some are thrillers where the main aim is to excite the reader. Some like’Auto Message’ try to say something about how technology is affecting our daily lives. Others like’The Curse’ try to show us, in a humorous way, how greedy people could be. The great thing about stories is that they carry us into another world on top of helping us to learn words, parts of speech and sentence construction. If we dive into the pool of good stories, we’ll learn how to swim – using those good examples in our own writing.

Easy Money & Other Stories by Steve Potter Pdf

Easy Money & Other Stories is a collection straddling the line between literary and crime fiction. Life can be that way. When you live on the south shore of Long Island a few miles east of Queens, mobsters aren't just characters you see in the movies, sometimes they turn out to be friends of friends, your neighbors, guys who drink in the same bar as you. Welcome to the borderland where the outskirts of New York City overlap with the Long Island suburbs. Meet Tiny the giant, Muscles, Scooter, Potatoes, Babydoll, and Thunder Zymborowski, formerly known as Big Hoss the Jersey Strangler. If you live here, you may come to realize that crime -- organized crime, semi-organized crime, and horribly unorganized crime -- is taking place all around you. In these darkly funny tales, men and women face the consequences of their terrible decisions. People living too close to the edge wander still closer and fall off into darkness. But there's also the sweetness of family, friendship, camaraderie, first love, and teenage heartache to lighten the mood. Absurd, raunchy, grotesque, subversive, vulgar, and violent -- these stories are also often hilarious and oddly touching.

Last Stories and Other Stories by William T. Vollmann Pdf

Supernaturally tinged stories from William T. Vollmann, author of the National Book Award winner Europe Central In this magnificent new work of fiction, his first in nine years, celebrated author William T. Vollmann offers a collection of ghost stories linked by themes of love, death, and the erotic. A Bohemian farmer’s dead wife returns to him, and their love endures, but at a gruesome price. A geisha prolongs her life by turning into a cherry tree. A journalist, haunted by the half-forgotten killing of a Bosnian couple, watches their story, and his own wartime tragedy, slip away from him. A dying American romances the ghost of his high school sweetheart while a homeless salaryman in Tokyo animates paper cutouts of ancient heroes. Are ghosts memories, fantasies, or monsters? Is there life in death? Vollmann has always operated in the shadowy borderland between categories, and these eerie tales, however far-flung their settings, all focus on the attempts of the living to avoid, control, or even seduce death. Vollmann’s stories will transport readers to a fantastical world where love and lust make anything possible.
