Book excerpt: “The Waiting Room is both haunted, and haunting.”—Geraldine Brooks, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of March The Waiting Room unfolds over the course of a single, life-changing day, but the story it tells spans five decades, three continents, and one family’s compelling history of love, war, and survival As the daughter of Holocaust survivors, Dina’s present has always been haunted by her parents’ pasts. She becomes a doctor, emigrates, and builds a family of her own, yet no matter how hard she tries to move on, their ghosts keep pulling her back. A dark, wry sense of humor helps Dina maintain her sanity amid the constant challenges of motherhood and medicine, but when a terror alert is issued in her adopted city, her coping skills are pushed to the limit. Interlacing the present and the past over a span of twenty-four hours, The Waiting Room is an intense exploration of what it means to endure a day-to-day existence defined by conflict and trauma, and a powerful reminder of just how fragile life can be. As the clock counts down to a shocking climax, Dina must confront her parents’ history and decide whether she will surrender to fear, or fight for love.

Book Synopsis Creatures of Clay and Other Stories of the Macabre by : Stephen Sennitt
Download or read book Creatures of Clay and Other Stories of the Macabre written by Stephen Sennitt and published by Headpress. This book was released on 2003 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within Creatures of Clay you will find a schizoid infatuation with sepia cellars, black crawling pits, filth encrusted walls, lycanthropic teenagers, evil little toys, calcified vampire-beings, disembodied sex maniacs, reptilian alien fiends, hypnotised mad women, corpses with living eyes, bloody Rorschach blots, beetle clocks, 4-D sound, terracotta demons, human snails, and basements full of suffocating dead things... Creatures of Clay represents Stephen Sennitt's best work as exhumed from the small press underground and horror zines, much of it long out of print. In addition there are mood-pieces and fractured narratives that have never before seen the light of day. Creatures of Clay ensures Sennitt a place at the forefront of today's transgressive writers in the realm of the weird and the horrific -- juxtaposing the elegant nightmare prose of Robert Aickman and Thomas Ligotti with a lurid pulp aesthetic, derived from Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos and the festering Skywald Horror-Mood comics of the seventies.

In "Becoming an American," an immigrant youth gains both citizenship and maturity in World War II. A produce department manager tells how he learned to cope with blindness in "Diary of a Blind Man." In "Drunks," a recovering alcoholic faces a grave threat to his sobriety. Searching for the source of a death threat, a workaholic therapist finds something he lost in "David Shore Ph.D." And "Emalyne" features a troubled young woman who takes her father, a renowned judge, to court on charges of molestation. Other stories tell of a daughter realizing too late that her father loved her, a boy acutely sensitive to other people's feelings, and a middle-aged man obsessed with a search for a long-lost love. Each of the tales in Broken Glass relays important life lessons and a profound ending that will leave you wanting more.

In “The Prospectors,” two opportunistic young women fleeing the depression strike out for new territory, and find themselves fighting for their lives.

The landscape in which these stories unfold is a feral, slippery, purgatorial space, bracketed by the void—yet within it Russell captures the exquisite beauty and tenderness of ordinary life. Orange World is a miracle of storytelling from a true modern master.
Download or read book Those Who Wait written by Haley Cass and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2020-03-31 with total page 638 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sutton Spencer's ideas for her life were fairly simple: finish graduate school and fall in love. It would be a lot simpler if she could pinpoint exactly what she should do when she graduates in less than a year. Oh, and if she could figure out how to talk to a woman without feeling like a total mess, that would be great too. Charlotte Thompson is very much the opposite. She's always had clear steps outlining her path to success with no time or inclination for romance. Her burgeoning career in politics means everything to her and she's not willing to compromise it for something as insignificant as love. Fleeting, casual, and discreet worked perfectly fine. When they meet through a dating app, it's immediately clear that they aren't suited for anything more than friendship. Right?

Opportunity magazine was one such periodical that made immeasurable contributions to the careers of many female African American writers. This anthology collects all of the short stories published in Opportunity by African American women during the magazine's 25 years of publication. It includes works by both well-known authors (Zora Neale Hurston, Marita Bonner) and more obscure writers. There is also an additional African tale translated by Violette de Mazia, a white woman known for promoting African American art. It also includes an introduction which contextualizes the short stories historically in light of the overall development of African American writing.
