Sinopsis

In "The Gray Wolf's Daughter," Gertrude Warden weaves a captivating narrative that blends elements of folklore and contemporary struggles, exploring themes of identity, belonging, and the intricate relationships between humans and nature. With poetic prose and vivid imagery, Warden transports readers into a mystical realm where the titular character grapples with her dual heritage—part human and part wolf. The novel's structure intertwines traditional storytelling techniques with modern existential questions, allowing readers to engage deeply with both the fantastical elements and the underlying emotional journey. Gertrude Warden, a prominent figure in early 20th-century literature, drew inspiration from her own experiences with nature and the complexities of cultural identity. Warden's background as a naturalist and her immersion in various indigenous cultures informed her perspective, propelling her to craft narratives that reflect the conflict between civilization and the untamed wilderness. Her nuanced understanding of these themes showcases her intellect and dedication to capturing the human experience in relation to the natural world. This thought-provoking tale is highly recommended for readers who enjoy rich, character-driven stories that challenge perceptions of identity and belonging. Warden's ability to combine folklore with poignant social commentary makes "The Gray Wolf's Daughter" an essential read for those seeking a deeper understanding of humanity's connection to the wild.

    Say hello to Humph the Boggart, the principled, down-on-his-luck private detective, Skinny Jim the zombie, and Fred the werewolf, in this film noir style space opera. 
    Humans aren’t alone anymore—in fact, they share a planet with undead and near-dead beings, living in … semi-harmony, depending on who you ask! This is the world of Reboots—where zombies, vampires, and werewolves live side-by-side with humans, taking whatever jobs they can in order to coexist peacefully. So, what better job to give almost-dead or dead beings, than one that consists of no air, cosmic radiation, and a lack of life-sustaining essentials? 
    Follow Skinny Jim, a zombie who conceals his ability to speak to avoid being exterminated after an ill-fated war launched by a zombie emperor. And then there’s Humph the Boggart, an ethereal parahuman private investigator who navigates interspecies relationships in claustrophobic extraterrestrial environments with his friends, including Fred the werewolf. 
    Consisting of four parts, Reboots: Undead Can Dance is a space opera destined to become a favorite, written by beloved and world-renowned fantasy author, Mercedes Lackey, and Cody Martin. Lackey and Martin have created a perfect, witty, fast-paced read that you won’t be able to put down, and will leave you craving more.

    Brought to you by Altrusian Grace Media and narrated by Matthew Schmitz, and includes a fully immersive cinematic music score. 
    "The Cats of Ulthar" is a short story written by American fantasy author H. P. Lovecraft in June 1920. In the tale, an unnamed narrator relates the story of how a law forbidding the killing of cats came to be in a town called Ulthar. As the narrative goes, the city is home to an old couple who enjoy capturing and killing the townspeople's cats. When a caravan of wanderers passes through the city, the kitten of an orphan (Menes) traveling with the band disappears. Upon hearing of the couple's violent acts towards cats, Menes invokes a prayer before leaving town that causes the local felines to swarm the cat-killers' house and devour them. Upon witnessing the result, the local politicians pass a law forbidding the killing of cats. 
    Influenced by Lord Dunsany, the tale was a personal favorite of Lovecraft's and has remained popular since his death. Considered one of the best short stories of Lovecraft's early period, aspects of "The Cats of Ulthar" would be referenced again in the author's works The Other Gods and The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath. It was first published in the literary journal Tryout in November 1920 and now resides in the public domain.

    Book 17: Heroes for Hire 
     
    Anders Renau is sent to Switzerland by his employer, Legendary Securities, to retrieve a glaciologist. Her father faces a political nightmare that's made him worried enough to hire a former Navy SEAL to make sure his daughter isn't used as leverage against him. 
     
    An expert in an otherwise male-dominated field, Angela Ainsworth has spent her life studying snow and ice in order to cope with the never-ending heartaches associated with her parents' divorce and her own fiancé's betrayal. When Anders comes barreling into her life, ordering her to return home on her father's orders, she's far from impressed…and she has absolutely no intention of obeying. 
     
    Anders loves Switzerland but, given the circumstances, he'd rather be anywhere else besides here, where this stubborn beauty wants nothing to do with him or her father's political agenda she'd tried to escape long ago. Despite her attitude, and regardless of the instant attraction that flares between them, Anders has to keep Angela safe in a world more hostile than any he's ever encountered before.
