Hunters Of Woods Street

Eduardo Capistrano

Sinopsis

For the adults, Woods Street is just that:
a Street, around some woods.
That's because they forgot.
Everyone forgets, when they grow up.
But children know what's in the Wood.
Disgusting and scary things that crawl
under beds and into closets.
Monsters that try to make the Dark win.
Against them remains only one last line of defense:
the Hunters of Woods Street!

Potential - Alone in the Void...

Robert Sheckley

Potential by Robert Sheckley - He was one man, horribly confused, escaping from a destroyed planet, carrying some sort of message which he couldn't recall. But he had tremendous potential for achievement!
Robert Sheckley (1928–2005) was a prolific American science fiction writer renowned for his sharp wit, satirical style, and imaginative storytelling. Emerging as a major voice in the 1950s, Sheckley became a fixture in magazines like Galaxy and Amazing Stories, captivating readers with tales that often blurred the line between absurdity and philosophical insight. His work frequently explored the quirks of human nature, the unpredictability of technology, and the ironic consequences of alien encounters, often through fast-paced plots and cleverly twisted logic.
A master of the short story, Sheckley penned classics such as “The Seventh Victim”, which inspired the 1965 cult film The 10th Victim, and “Watchbird”, a prescient tale about autonomous drones enforcing morality. His ability to satirize bureaucracy, consumerism, and Cold War anxieties drew comparisons to contemporaries like Kurt Vonnegut and Philip K. Dick. Despite often being categorized as humorous or light, his stories packed a philosophical punch, exploring themes of identity, free will, and societal control.
Sheckley also wrote novels, including Mindswap, Dimension of Miracles, and The Status Civilization, which showcased his trademark blend of existential inquiry and surreal comedy. His influence extended beyond literature, inspiring filmmakers, futurists, and generations of speculative writers. Endlessly inventive and sharply perceptive, Robert Sheckley remains one of science fiction’s most original and underappreciated voices.

Letters to a Young Poet

Rainer Maria Rilke

Letters to a Young Poet by Rainer Maria Rilke is a timeless collection of ten letters written between 1902 and 1908 by the Austrian poet to a young aspiring writer named Franz Xaver Kappus. In these deeply reflective and profoundly personal letters, Rilke offers wisdom, guidance, and encouragement about the creative process, the nature of art, solitude, love, and the inner life of an artist. 
Rather than giving technical advice about writing, Rilke urges Kappus to look inward—to trust his own instincts and emotions as the true source of creativity. He emphasizes patience, self-discovery, and the acceptance of uncertainty as essential elements of an artist’s path. The letters explore universal themes such as loneliness, beauty, the struggles of artistic creation, and the necessity of living a full and contemplative life. 
More than a correspondence between a poet and his protégé, Letters to a Young Poet serves as a philosophical and spiritual guide for anyone seeking meaning, authenticity, and creative fulfillment. It remains one of the most beloved works of modern literature, celebrated for its lyrical prose and timeless insight into the human condition.
