Backteria and Other Improbable Tales

状态:连载作者:Rosetta
1004.7万字

Available only in e-book format, Backteria and Other Improbable Tales is a brand new collection of short tales of terror and the unknown from master storyteller Richard Matheson. In the title story, published here for the first time, a researcher encounters an exotic new strain of virus that causes the infected person to disappear. Curiosity leads the doctor on a path of discovery which takes him deep into his own personal history and suggests the age-old warning: Be careful what you wish for.

In "Getting Together", a case of mistaken identity leads to a darkly farcical story of marriage, murder, and a love that knows no bounds. The quietly threatening "Haircut" shows how a routine trim becomes a dark and terrifying experience when a barber is confronted with a sick customer who seems to him otherworldly.

  • Ethiopia Boy

    Ethiopia Boy

    Chris Beckett grew up in 1960s Ethiopia, a country he describes as a 'barefoot empire, home of black-maned lions… old priests decked out like butterflies and blazing young singers of Ethio-jazz'. Ethiopia Boy plunges the reader into praise poems that sing and boast and glory in the colours and textures of this extraordinary country. Here is a world of feasting on spicy kikwot and of famine sucking the water from rivers, of lion buses and a prayer child, where Earth sings greetings to the feet that walk on her. Haunted by the memory of his friend Abebe, the cook's son, Beckett celebrates and laments a lost boyhood in poems of vivid immediacy.
  • The Epic Crush of Genie Lo

    The Epic Crush of Genie Lo

    The struggle to get into a top-tier college consumes sixteen-year-old Genie's every waking thought. But when she discovers she's a celestial spirit who's powerful enough to bash through the gates of heaven with her fists, her perfectionist existence is shattered. Enter Quentin, a transfer student from China whose tone-deaf assertiveness beguiles Genie to the brink of madness. Quentin nurtures Genie's outrageous transformation—sometimes gently, sometimes aggressively—as her sleepy suburb in the Bay Area comes under siege from hell-spawn. This epic YA debut draws from Chinese folklore, features a larger-than-life heroine, and perfectly balances the realities of Genie's grounded high school life with the absurd supernatural world she finds herself commanding.

    女人趁早要知道5:淡定的女人最幸福

    人生苦短,每个人都只是世界的一个匆匆过客,得失又何妨?得不到的或已经失去的,固然会让你觉得遗憾,但这并不是最重要的。最重要的是,放平心态,保持宁静,好好把握手中的幸福,好好珍惜当下的快乐。生活总有不如意,不必去计较。快乐其实是一件简单的事情,它不是因为你拥有的多,而是因为你计较的少。只要你少计较一点,快乐就会唾手可得。在人生的旅途上,寂寞是一节无人相伴的硬座车厢,是一方没有星光的漆黑夜空,是一段没有音乐伴奏的低语吟唱。

  • 胜在孙子 赢在老子

    胜在孙子 赢在老子

    孙子的《孙子兵法》讲究克敌制胜,比较强势,教导世人在各种境遇中,以主动出击的方式把握主动权;而老子的《道德经》则与之相反,讲究“以柔克刚、以曲求全”,引导世人以“守弱”的方式来达到“强大”。本书汲取《孙子兵法》与《道德经》的精华,将二者巧妙地结合在一起,做到“攻能胜,守能赢”,“能攻能守,能进能退”。本书包含着深奥、经典的大智慧,是帮你敲开智慧大门的金钥匙,其中既有老子“修身立世”的道家绝学,也有孙子“百战百胜”的兵家制胜法宝。 本书的案例由古至今,从中到外,内容形式多姿多彩、耐人品读,或者为你指点迷津,或者为你锦上添花。
