中国微型小说百年经典（第8卷）
微型小说，在我国虽然自古有之，如《世说新语》《唐元话本》《聊斋志异》等，但一直属于短篇小说的范畴，未能从短篇小说中独立出来。 上世纪80年代，随着改革开放和人们生活节奏加快，读者没时间看长篇大论，喜欢看短小精悍的小说。微型小说便很快盛兴繁荣起来，受到读者的喜爱。因而一些报刊纷纷开辟微型小说栏目，据不完全统计，现在发表微型小说的报刊有两千家左右，每年发表的微型小说达七八万篇。 《中国微型小说百年经典》以微型小说是一种独立的文体的眼光，重新审视了过去混杂在短篇小说中的微型作品，精心筛选了一个世纪以来的微型小说经典佳作。较之近来出版的一些标榜微型小说经典选集，更具有综合性、经典性和权威性。
The Peculiars
This dark and thrilling adventure, with an unforgettable heroine, will captivate fans of steampunk, fantasy, and romance. On her 18th birthday, Lena Mattacascar decides to search for her father, who disappeared into the northern wilderness of Scree when Lena was young. Scree is inhabited by Peculiars, people whose unusual characteristics make them unacceptable to modern society. Lena wonders if her father is the source of her own extraordinary characteristics and if she, too, is Peculiar. On the train she meets a young librarian, Jimson Quiggley, who is traveling to a town on the edge of Scree to work in the home and library of the inventor Mr. Beasley. The train is stopped by men being chased by the handsome young marshal Thomas Saltre. When Saltre learns who Lena's father is, he convinces her to spy on Mr. Beasley and the strange folk who disappear into his home, Zephyr House. A daring escape in an aerocopter leads Lena into the wilds of Scree to confront her deepest fears.
