Download or read book And I Do Not Forgive You: Stories and Other Revenges written by Amber Sparks and published by Liveright Publishing. This book was released on 2020-02-11 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amber Sparks holds her crown in the canon of the weird with this fantastical collection of “eye-popping range” (John Domini, Washington Post). Boldly blending fables and myths with apocalyptic technologies, Amber Sparks has built a cultlike following with And I Do Not Forgive You. Fueled by feminism in all its colors, her surreal worlds—like Kelly Link’s and Karen Russell’s—are all-too-real. In “Mildly Happy, With Moments of Joy,” a friend is ghosted by a text message; in “Everyone’s a Winner at Meadow Park,” a teen coming-of-age in a trailer park befriends an actual ghost. Rife with “sharp wit, and an abiding tenderness” (Ilana Masad, NPR), these stories shine an interrogating light on the adage that “history likes to lie about women,” as the subjects of “You Won’t Believe What Really Happened to the Sabine Women” will attest. Written in prose that both shimmers and stings, the result is “nothing short of a raging success, a volume that points to a potentially incandescent literary future” (Kurt Baumeister, The Brooklyn Rail).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the city of Ythis, everything comes with a hidden price. For Borolt Zale, the price of continuing his war against the Church of Iathephos was to give himself over to the service of another, possibly greater, evil - the sorcerer Veylar Dust. A great beast inhabits the Bay of Ythis, demanding blood sacrifice from ships entering the harbor, while Borolt works to uncover the truth behind the creature. But a sudden, violent death in the Tower of Dust triggers a new problem that may signal the beginning of the end for the city of Ythis. Surrounded by powerful forces of darkness, Borolt Zale must solve the puzzle of a demon's broken binding while escaping the Church's mad plots to bring down the sorcerers of Ythis - and avoiding the enemies of Veylar Dust who rival even his dark power.

The empress invites her in only as part of a wicked wager among her powerful courtiers.

Download or read book The Amber Gods, and Other Stories written by Harriet Elizabeth Prescott Spofford and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 1989 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection contains ten tales -- including five that have never before appeared in book form -- by Hamet Prescott Spofford, the only woman writer to master the mode of the symbolic romance, which is often clamed to represent the mainstream of American fiction. Spofford dazzled readers in the early 1860s with a number of stories that seemed to enlarge the boundaries of romantic fiction. She established a reputation as the female heir to the literary tradition of Poe and Hawthorne with such works as the detective story "In a Cellar," the complex symbolic romance "The Amber Gods," and the frightening tale of frontier adventure. "Circumstance." These three stories provide the most important female counterpart to the works of the major male romantics and represent the final flowering of romantic fiction in New England.
