  Bartleby, the Scrivener: A Story of Wall Street is a novella by the American novelist Herman Melville (1819–1891). It first appeared anonymously in two parts in the November and December 1853 editions of Putnam's Magazine, and was reprinted with minor textual alterations in his The Piazza Tales in 1856.Among Melville's best-known works are Moby-Dick; Typee , a romanticized account of his experiences in Polynesia; and Billy Budd, Sailor, a posthumously published novella. Although his reputation was not high at the time of his death, the 1919 centennial of his birth was the starting point of a Melville revival, and Moby-Dick grew to be considered one of the great American novels.During his last years, he privately published two volumes of poetry, and left one volume unpublished. The novella Billy Budd was left unfinished at his death, but was published posthumously in 1924. Melville died from cardiovascular disease in 1891.

  The Elf-Trap by Francis Stevens - Silently it waited in a woodland glen, baited with dreams to tempt… the strange lost company that time had forgot. 
  Francis Stevens (1883–1948), the pen name of Gertrude Barrows Bennett, was a pioneering writer of early science fiction and fantasy. Often regarded as the “woman who invented dark fantasy,” she blended elements of horror, adventure, and speculative fiction long before these genres were well-defined. Born in Minneapolis, she became the primary breadwinner for her family after her husband’s death, using writing as a means of financial support. Between 1917 and 1923, she published groundbreaking stories such as The Citadel of Fear, The Heads of Cerberus, and Claimed, which introduced eerie, otherworldly themes later seen in the works of H.P. Lovecraft and C.L. Moore. Her novel The Heads of Cerberus (1919) is considered one of the first dystopian alternate-history stories. Despite her influence, her work faded into obscurity until rediscovered by genre historians. Today, she is recognized as a key figure in the evolution of fantasy and science fiction.

  No Ordinary Cat: Rufus is no ordinary cat. His mesmerizing green eyes captivate every human he meets. Moreover, he has a destiny, and it calls to him from birth, luring him into a wilderness that combines breathtaking beauty with imminent danger. As Rufus discovers, though, destiny isn't just about eluding danger or releasing the adventurer that lives within us all. It's also about friendship that lasts a lifetime. A story for any reader, any age, who knows what it means to have a friend that can read what's in our heart.  
  Finding Waihona: Rufus is desperate to reunite with his feral friend Asha, a highly intelligent black feline who routinely courts danger. Encouraged by his fearless soulmate, Rufus widens his world to encompass new characters and opportunities. Together, he and Asha carve new trails, outwit predators, and discover a long-hidden tree fort-Waihona, a mystical place that offers sanctuary to all lovers of the wild, human and otherwise. Finding Waihona, a book for all ages, is about learning what the heart treasures, and protecting it with everything in us. 
  Asha: Queen of Cats: This finale introduces us to Edna, a teacher so gifted she can make cats love literature; Elvira, who fancies herself a witch but may have a beating heart in there somewhere; and Bear, the "born actor," lured into becoming a star catcher overnight, though he's never played ball in his life. It's Asha, deadly assassin and friend to Rufus, who steals the show, though. They say cats have nine lives — and Asha's already used up a few. She'll need every remaining one to survive the harrowing circumstances she concocts in this rollicking tale of adventure and daring.

  Dead Man's Planet by William Morrison - When a driven man arrives at a cemetery world, what else can it be but journey's end—and the start of a new one? 
  Outside the ship, it was the sun that blazed angrily. Inside, it was Sam Wilson's temper. "Study your lessons," he snarled, with a savageness that surprised himself, "or I'll never let you set foot on this planet at all." 
  "Okay, Pop," said Mark, a little white around the nostrils. He looked old for so young a kid. "I didn't mean anything wrong." 
  "I don't care what you meant. You do as you're told." 
  In the quiet that followed, broken only by the hum of the arithmetic-tape, Sam wondered at himself. As kids went, Mark had never been a nuisance. Certainly Rhoda had never had any trouble with him. But Rhoda had been altogether different. Sam was tough and he had always got a sense of satisfaction out of knowing that he was hard-boiled. Or at least that was once true. Rhoda had been sweet, gentle.... 
  He aroused himself from thoughts of her by calling, "Mark!" 
  "Yes, Pop?" 
  His voice had been harsher than he had intended. Over the past few weeks he seemed gradually to have been losing control of it. Now, although he was going to do his son a favor, he sounded like a slavemaster threatening a beating. "You can shut off your arithmetic lesson. We're going out." 
  "But didn't you want me—" 
  "I changed my mind."
