The Leo Tolstoy Collection -...

Leo Tolstoy

This collection brings together stories and reflections in which Leo Tolstoy turns inward.
Stripped of grandeur, these works offer something more intimate: the inner noise of conscience, the weight of faith, the silence before death.
A servant's silence, a horse's memory, a dying man's doubt—these are not performances.
They are questions, waiting quietly for whoever dares to ask the same.
Tolstoy isn't offering answers. He's writing toward something deeper. And the questions haven't aged a day.
Contents:
• Alyosha the Pot
• Kholstomer: The Story of a Horse
• A Russian Christmas Party
• A Confession
• God Sees the Truth, But Waits
• A Letter to a Hindu

Behold the Ape

James Morrow

A satirical SF caper of evolution, gangsters, Darwin’s brain, and the Golden Age of Hollywood from the Nebula and World Fantasy Award–winning author. When Sonya Orlova, a successful 1930s horror-film actress, crosses paths with a gorilla whose brain has been swapped for the frozen cerebrum of the late Charles Darwin, the two are inspired to write and produce evolution-themed monster movies—with Sonya in her greatest role, Korgora the Ape Woman!  As this offbeat and controversial Hollywood series finds a devoted cult audience, Sonia’s relationship with her strange simian collaborator acquires an intensity neither could have imagined. Then disaster strikes, as zealous opponents to Darwin’s ideas contrive to put the Ape Woman out of business.  By turns satiric and romantic, madcap, and thoughtful, Behold the Ape is at once an outré love story, a tribute to classic monster movies, and a science-fictional celebration of that beleaguered institution we call public education.

Quaint Quarrel The: A Cozy...

Hoang Nguyen

🏡 Tea shop owner Violet Brewster adores her picture-perfect English village of Honeycroft, where everyone knows each other and life moves at a gentle pace. But when the village's beloved mayor is found dead in the prize-winning rose garden during the annual Spring Fete, the peaceful facade shatters. The police call it a tragic accident, but Violet notices the carefully planted clues that suggest otherwise—a misplaced gardening glove, a broken teacup, and a cryptic note pinned to the village notice board. As old grudges surface and long-buried secrets bloom like spring flowers, Violet teams up with the village's retired Scotland Yard inspector and her gossipy book club to investigate. From competing jam recipes to disputed property lines, every quaint village tradition hides a potential motive. But as Violet digs deeper into the community's carefully tended soil, she uncovers a root system of resentment that runs generations deep—and a killer who's been waiting decades to settle a score.
