  It Burns Me Up!

  Ray Bradbury

  Ray Bradbury delivers a razor-sharp, darkly humorous masterpiece in “It Burns Me Up!,” the tale of a murdered man who remains conscious as his lifeless body becomes the center of a chaotic, gossip-hungry spectacle. While detectives posture, reporters posture harder, neighbors gawk, and his wife performs her own brand of calculated innocence, the victim narrates the entire circus with eerie calm and unsettling clarity. The story unfolds as a portrait of human absurdity—how people behave when they believe the dead can’t hear them, and how the truth gets twisted long before the body grows cold. 
  This is Bradbury at his satirical best, delivering a noir-laced character study full of sharp observation and biting irony. The dead man watches the living reveal their flaws, their vanity, and their hunger for drama, until even his final journey to the crematory becomes one last cosmic punchline. 
  Ray Bradbury stands as one of the most influential voices in 20th-century speculative fiction. His work blends emotional truth with imaginative power, offering stories that probe the human condition while delivering unforgettable characters and atmosphere. Known for “The Martian Chronicles,” “Fahrenheit 451,” and “The Illustrated Man,” Bradbury’s stories continue to resonate with readers and listeners who crave thoughtful, character-driven tales. 
  His influence stretches across literature, film, and audio drama, and “It Burns Me Up!” demonstrates why his shorter works remain enduring classics. This is Bradbury in compact form—funny, unnerving, and brilliantly observant.

  Process by A. E. van Vogt - An ancient intelligence stirs, locked in a struggle for survival against forces both familiar and alien. But when outsiders arrive with their own secret agenda, the battle takes an unexpected and perilous turn. 
  Alfred Elton van Vogt, (A. E. van Vogt) was born on April 26, 1912, in Edenburg, Manitoba, Canada, and grew up on a series of remote farms in the prairies before his family eventually settled in Winnipeg. A shy and introspective child, he developed a love for stories at an early age, devouring books and radio dramas while imagining vast adventures of his own. Before turning to science fiction, van Vogt worked as a census taker, farmhand, and in advertising, sharpening his skills as a writer with confession stories and radio scripts. 
  In 1939, inspired by reading the landmark issue of Astounding Science Fiction that featured John W. Campbell’s vision of a “new wave” of science fiction, van Vogt decided to devote himself fully to the genre. His first published story, “Black Destroyer,” appeared in Astounding in July 1939 and made an immediate impact. From that moment, van Vogt emerged as one of the Golden Age’s most influential authors.

  There’s no place like home. And maybe that’s a good thing. The two homes I know—my school and my fairytale castle in the kingdom of Midveil—aren’t what they used to be.
  
  With my friends by my side and the aid of a new mentor for magic, I thought I was ready to fight the antagonists who planned to take over the realm of Book and destroy all its protagonists. Unfortunately, the universe had other plans that I didn’t see coming. And that’s saying a lot for a girl who can see the future.
  
  On our quest to find the missing Fairy Godmother Paige Tomkins, my friends and I would be transported to an array of magical lands. From the horrors of Sleepy Hollow and shores of Neverland, to the Wizard of Oz’s front door—we were in for one dangerous, bizarre foe and setting after another. And yet, they would be no stranger than my own world. Because thanks to a brewing common character rebellion in Book, relentless magic hunters, and the people I trusted most turning against me, the world I once knew was a thing of fairytales past.
  
  READERS LOVE CRISANTA KNIGHT:
  
  “This series is just getting better and better, the characters are growing in each book and learning to trust each other and each book brings even more plot twists!” – Bookbub
  
  “The story is undeniably spell-binding, original, and strong. The characters are complex, fully flawed and endearing. It goes without saying that it is one of the greatest fantasy retellings ever written, not only because of the storyline, scenes, characters, etc., but also the underlying implications and wise messages.” – Amazon
  
  “Yet again, Culbertson has swept me off my bookish feet and this time landed me in the realms of Neverland, Camelot and even freaking Sleepy Hollow! I love a good mashup of stories and Culbertson is one of the few who can take tales as old as time and weave them together with grace and excitement […] If you love fairy tales, folklore and legends or you’re looking for a novel for your littles to grow from that they will enjoy… I highly recommend this series. Excellent flawed characters, stories we all know and love, realistic circumstances that can translate to everyday scenarios and twists and turns that keep readers engrossed in the plot. What more do you even need?” – Bookbub
  
  “This book has everything! Retelling of your favorite fairytales (along with incorporating our favorite characters into the plot), betrayal, action, romance, magic, and more intrigue […] Geanna Culbertson does not disappoint. Highly recommend!” – Goodreads
