  Has Fate taken science and shown it who’s boss, when everything about Nico and Teilo is not what it seems? 
  Ben was looking out for the wider shifter population as acting council lead. The one thing that leaves him questioning what he is doing with everything which unfolds. Then one file—one photo changes everything and sends him on a race against time home to Paraguay to fight for what is most important—his mates. 
  Nico knows nothing other than a cage and the death he bestows on those the Devil wants dead. The one person who keeps his soul intact is his cage brother, Teilo. He is also the one the scientists and trainers use against him, knowing Nico would die for Teilo. 
  When the scientists leave them in their cages without a word, Teilo soon loses hope of ever getting a life outside the cage he dreams of with Nico, even if he doesn’t understand the connection he feels for him. Locked in their animal form, there is no way out! 
  Then everything changes when Ben—their mate—finds them. Will their lives be any different as they heal and work to figure out why the assassin—them—program is so special? Do the cage brothers hold the answers or does someone else?

  As the interminable case of Jarndyce and Jarndyce grinds its way through the Court of Chancery, it draws together a disparate group of people: Ada and Richard Clare, whose inheritance is gradually being devoured by legal costs; Esther Summerson, a ward of court, whose parentage is a source of deepening mystery; the menacing lawyer Tulkinghorn; the determined sleuth Inspector Bucket; and even Jo, the destitute little crossing-sweeper. A savage, but often comic, indictment of a society that is rotten to the core, Bleak House is one of Dickens's most ambitious novels, with a range that extends from the drawing rooms of the aristocracy to the poorest of London slums.

  Barry Eric Odell Pain was born at 3 Sydney Street in Cambridge on 28th September 1864. He was one of 4 children. 
  He was educated at Sedbergh School and then Corpus Christi College, Cambridge. 
  In 1889, Cornhill Magazine published his short story ‘The Hundred Gates’.  This opened the way for Pain to advance his literary career on several fronts. He became a contributor to Punch and The Speaker, as well as joining the staff of both the Daily Chronicle and Black and White.  
  Pain was also a noted and prominent contributor to The Granta and from 1896 to 1928 a regular contributor to the Windsor Magazine. 
  It is often said that Pain was discovered by Robert Louis Stevenson, who compared his work to that of Guy de Maupassant.  It’s an apt comparison. Pain was a master of disturbing prose but was also able to inject parody and light comedy into many of his works.  A simple premise could in his hands suddenly expand into a world very real but somehow emotionally fraught and on the very edge of darkness. 
  Barry Pain died on 5th May 1928 in Bushey, Hertfordshire.

  Heavy Metals

  Guillermo Barquero

  The construction of fantastic devices to evade the all-powerful hand of disease; the detour through the snowy roads of a cold and merciless Iceland; the fire of an inferno that burned down the misfortune of a world of blinded smokers; the force to the abyss through the recourse of a betrayal disguised as goodness.
  
  The ten short stories that compose Heavy Metals are pieces that have been torn from the anodyne of lives touched by boredom or physical ailments. In these stories, Barquero creates a narrative work in which the familiarity of things and trivial occurrences are subverted, as those beings who inhabit everyday scenarios undergo a savage change that has only been made possible by the touch of a demon or a word. They are bodies thicken by the weight of lead and mouths that taste like iron.
