Damnation Morning

Fritz Leiber

Sinossi

Time traveling, which is not quite the good clean boyish fun it’s cracked up to be, started for me when this woman with the sigil on her forehead looked in on me from the open doorway of the hotel bedroom where I’d hidden myself and the bottles and asked me, “Look, Buster, do you want to live?”

The Bright Messenger

Algernon Blackwood

Julian LeVallon, born and raised alone in the Jura Mountains, is referred to psychiatrist Dr. Edward Fillery for care in London. But is LeVallon merely a schizophrenic with a secondary personality, "N.H." (non-human), or is he really an Elemental Being, a "bright messenger" who brings, perhaps, a new age of human evolution? And if so, is the human race ready for a major step forward?  [Summary by Mark Nelson]

George MacDonald

A novel of a mysterious castle, unknown treasure, romance, and duplicity from the Victorian-era author of Lilith. “One of MacDonald’s very best.”—Richard Reis, author of George MacDonald’s Fiction This dark realistic novel is somewhat puzzling in MacDonald’s corpus of more uplifting works. Some of its disconcerting themes grew out of George and Louisa MacDonald’s friendship with author John Ruskin during a troubled time in the latter’s life. Some of the descriptive portions contained within this narrative, especially of the Swiss Alps, are among MacDonald’s finest. As Michael Phillips writes in the introduction, “Though the novel draws vividly on imagery from MacDonald’s trip to Switzerland in 1865, and contains passages of great narrative power, it is also of interest for characterizations thought by some to have emerged out of the circumstances of Ruskin’s involvement with Rose La Touche. As a result, commentators and analysts through the years have read into the work all manner of Freudian, Jungian, and sexual themes. Readers, of course, will see in it what they choose to see.”
