The Hated

Frederik Pohl

The Hated by Frederik Pohl - After space, there was always one more river to cross ... the far side of hatred and murder!
THE bar didn't have a name. No name of any kind. Not even an indication that it had ever had one. All it said on the outside was:
Cafe
EAT
Cocktails
which doesn't make a lot of sense. But it was a bar. It had a big TV set going ya-ta-ta ya-ta-ta in three glorious colors, and a jukebox that tried to drown out the TV with that lousy music they play. Anyway, it wasn't a kid hangout. I kind of like it. But I wasn't supposed to be there at all; it's in the contract. I was supposed to stay in New York and the New England states.
Cafe-EAT-Cocktails was right across the river. I think the name of the place was Hoboken, but I'm not sure. It all had a kind of dreamy feeling to it. I was—
Well, I couldn't even remember going there. I remembered one minute I was downtown New York, looking across the river. I did that a lot. And then I was there. I don't remember crossing the river at all.
I was drunk, you know.
YOU know how it is? Double bourbons and keep them coming. And after a while the bartender stops bringing me the ginger ale because gradually I forget to mix them. I got pretty loaded long before I left New York. I realize that. I guess I had to get pretty loaded to risk the pension and all.
Used to be I didn't drink much, but now, I don't know, when I have one drink, I get to thinking about Sam and Wally and Chowderhead and Gilvey and the captain. If I don't drink, I think about them, too, and then I take a drink. And that leads to another drink, and it all comes out to the same thing. Well, I guess I said it already, I drink a pretty good amount, but you can't blame me.

The Castle Corona

Anonym

Long ago and far away . . .  
There was a castle. But not just any castle. This was a castle that glittered and sparkled and rose majestically above the banks of the winding Winono River: the Castle Corona. 
And in this castle lived a family. But not just any family. This was the family of King Guido: rich and royal and . . . spoiled. And King Guido was so spoiled that neither jewels nor gold nor splendid finery could please him, for what he longed for most was . . . a nap and a gown that didn't itch.  
Far below this grand, glittering castle lived two peasants. But not just any peasants. These peasants, though poor and pitiful, were plucky and proud. And in possession of a stolen pouch. But not just any pouch. A pouch whose very contents had the power to unlock secrets and transform lives . . .  
And oh, there is an author. But not just any author. Sharon Creech is a Newbery Medal-winning author whose tantalizing tale will not only dazzle and delight but also entertain and excite.

The Runebound Oath of the...

Hang Nguyen

In the veil of eternity, where midnight witches carve runes into the fabric of night and celestial guardians patrol the starry abyss, Elara the rune-weaver binds her fate to Orion, a fallen star-spirit exiled for loving beyond his luminous kin. Their oath, forged in a ritual of shadow ink and comet tears, awakens a tempest that could either mend the fractured veil or plunge realms into chaotic void. As they traverse ethereal bridges of woven starlight and shadowed chasms haunted by void beasts, Elara's midnight magic clashes with Orion's celestial light, revealing an ancient pact that links their souls across eons. Yet, a coven of envious witches and a legion of dark guardians conspire to shatter the runebound vow, unleashing curses that twist time itself. In the heart of the eternal veil, where every rune pulses with peril and every oath echoes with destiny, Elara and Orion must surrender to their intertwined flames to restore balance. Their love, a beacon against the abyss, becomes the rune that rewrites eternity's decree.
