Sinossi

In Mary Eleanor Wilkins Freeman's novella, "The Green Door," readers are presented with a poignant exploration of gender, societal constraints, and the quest for self-identity within the small-town New England setting of the late 19th century. Through her masterful use of symbolism, notably the titular green door reflecting thresholds of opportunity and change, Freeman employs a realistic yet lyrical narrative style that immerses the reader in the protagonist'Äôs internal struggle. The story exemplifies the themes of isolation and community, highlighting the challenges faced by women in a patriarchal society, revealing rich layers of emotional depth and societal critique. Freeman, a prominent figure in American literature, drew upon her own experiences as a woman writer in a male-dominated literary world. Born in 1852 in Massachusetts, her background in the New England milieu provides authentic context for her characters. Her commitment to portraying the authentic lives of women, particularly in a period of emerging feminist consciousness, reflects her understanding of and reaction to the constraints imposed on her gender. This novella is a must-read for those interested in feminist literature, American realism, and the rich complexities of personal agency. Freeman'Äôs insightful storytelling invites readers to reflect on their own doors'Äîboth literal and metaphorical'Äîand encourages a deeper understanding of the historical context of women'Äôs lives. It is an essential addition to any literary collection.

    A breathtaking collection of wonders and horrors—including robotic surrogate parents and zombie voters—from a new acknowledged master of darkest fantasy Whether speculating on an all-too-possible future or plumbing the stygian depths of supernatural evil and human degradation, Dale Bailey’s award-winning short fiction has been justifiably compared to the work of some of the true giants in the field—Ray Bradbury, Stephen King, and Theodore Sturgeon, to name but a few. In this first collection of astonishing stories, the acclaimed author of the modern horror masterworks The Fallen and House of Bones demonstrates his remarkable range with tales that exhilarate, terrify, and touch the soul. A young boy comes of age on a secluded farm that grows a particularly grisly crop. The dead rise up to cast their ballots in a close presidential election. An assassin plots his next kill from inside the body of someone frighteningly close to the victim. An African American census taker discovers a hidden bayou town where time has stopped at a nightmarish point in history. Bailey takes readers inside the tents of a circus of shadows and explores an expectant father’s dark and terrible legacy for his unborn child. This extraordinary collection runs the gamut from fantasy to horror, from science fiction to heartbreaking reality, speaking in voices, old and young, that brilliantly capture the light and the darkness of their ingeniously imagined worlds. Includes the Nebula Award–nominated novelette, “The Resurrection Man’s Legacy.”
