Vampires in Chicago: A Subversive, Satirical Gothic Fantasy Action Thriller
Vampires in Chicago: A Subversive, Satirical Gothic Fantasy Action ThrillerThere's been some confusion about the vampires in Chicago. This book sets the record straight. Forget fangs, allergies, and arbitrary rules. In 2023, something older than myth awoke in the city, and the last four vampires there had to deal with it. Be careful what you pick up after dark, because it may not be pretty. You want the truth. But can you survive it? "Writer of books that are toxic to your mental health." "Not recommended for the mentally weak." "Pure agony from start to finish." "Scream, cry and laugh because once you start reading there's no putting it down." "From the twisted mind of Wynneth E. Cymry comes a dark tale of gothic proportions." "Blasphemous, sacrilegious and perverse, Ms Cymry will torture your mind the way she tortures her characters." "This book crushed my will to live."
The Husband Stitch
The Husband StitchIf you read this story out loud, please use the following voices: Me: as a child, high-pitched, forgettable; as a woman, the same. The boy who will grow into a man, and be my spouse: robust with his own good fortune. My father: Like your father, or the man you wish was your father. My son: as a small child, gentle, rounded with the faintest of lisps; as a man, like my husband. All other women: interchangeable with my own. Carmen Maria Machado is the celebrated author of the memoir In the Dream House and the vibrant story collection Her Body and Other Parties. She has been a finalist for the National Book Award and the winner of the Bard Fiction Prize, the Lambda Literary Award for Lesbian Fiction, the Brooklyn Public Library Literature Prize, a Shirley Jackson Award and the National Book Critics Circle’s John Leonard Prize.
There Is No Antimemetics Division
There Is No Antimemetics DivisionThey’re all around us, hiding in plain sight. One could be in the room with you now, just to your left. You could be seeing it right now—but from this second to the next, you’ll forget that you did. If you managed to jot down a note, the paper would look blank to you afterward. These entities can feed on your most cherished memories, the things that make you you—and you’ll never even know anything changed. They can turn you into a living ghost—make it so you’re standing next to your spouse, screaming in their ear, and they won’t know you’re there. They’re predators equipped with the ultimate camouflage, living black holes for information, able to consume our very memories of their existence. And they aren’t just feeding on us. They’re invading. But how do you fight an enemy when you can never even know that you’re at war? How do you contain something you can’t record or remember? Welcome to the Antimemetics Division. No, this is not your first day.
Fahrenheit 451
Fahrenheit 451Guy Montag is a fireman. His job is to burn books, which are forbidden, being the source of all discord and unhappiness. Even so, Montag is unhappy; there is discord in his marriage. Are books hidden in his house? The Mechanical Hound of the Fire Department, armed with a lethal hypodermic, escorted by helicopters, is ready to track down those dissidents who defy society to preserve and read books. The classic dystopian novel of a post-literate future, Fahrenheit 451 stands alongside Orwell’s 1984 and Huxley’s Brave New World as a prophetic account of Western civilization’s enslavement by the media, drugs and conformity. Bradbury’s powerful and poetic prose combines with uncanny insight into the potential of technology to create a novel which, decades on from first publication, still has the power to dazzle and shock.
