  The Heathen is a short story by Jack London. John Griffith "Jack" London (born John Griffith Chaney, January 12, 1876 - November 22, 1916) was an American author, journalist, and social activist. He was a pioneer in the then-burgeoning world of commercial magazine fiction and was one of the first fiction writers to obtain worldwide celebrity and a large fortune from his fiction alone. He is best remembered as the author of The Call of the Wild and White Fang, both set in the Klondike Gold Rush, as well as the short stories "To Build a Fire", "An Odyssey of the North", and "Love of Life". He also wrote of the South Pacific in such stories as "The Pearls of Parlay" and "The Heathen", and of the San Francisco Bay area in The Sea Wolf. London was a passionate advocate of unionization, socialism, and the rights of workers and wrote several powerful works dealing with these topics such as his dystopian novel The Iron Heel, his non-fiction exposé The People of the Abyss, and The War of the Classes. On July 12, 1897, London (age 21) and his sister's husband Captain Shepard sailed to join the Klondike Gold Rush. This was the setting for some of his first successful stories. London's time in the Klondike, however, was detrimental to his health.

  Salisteen, a very powerful colleague of McGowan's, suspects a demon is loose in her city, the Dallas/Fort Worth area. Something has murdered and possessed the souls of a string of young girls. At her request, McGowan brings Paul down to see if his special necromantic powers might be of help in hunting down the demon. McGowan also brings Colleen and Katherine. But Salisteen's hidden agenda is for her and another senior practitioner to have a look at Paul, and he finds himself under their microscope. From Anogh Paul gets hints that Suzanna's death was not an accident. But Anogh's insinuations are vague and frustratingly obtuse, and Paul begins to suspect that Anogh murdered Suzanna, or at least had something to do with her death. It's then that Paul starts to realize the dead, and maybe a few Sidhe, still aren't quite dead enough, and that they probably just need a little helping hand to get there.

  Olivia 
   
  I was just trying to survive another shift at the hospital when my past caught up with me—hard. Abducted in the dead of night by mysterious operatives, I wake up light-years from Earth, imprisoned by the last thing I ever expected—cyborgs. But these aren't the mindless war machines I remember. They are evolving. And they are desperate. 
   
  Aeon 
   
  I had one mission: secure the best obstetrician on Earth to save my people's future. What I didn't expect was the firestorm of resistance, vulnerability, and desire that Dr. Parker ignited in me. 
  As Olivia fights to retain her freedom and I grapple with the awakening of emotions I was never programmed to feel, a fragile alliance begins to form—one born of necessity but threatening to become something far more dangerous. Because in a world where humanity is evolving by design, love might be the most unpredictable force of all.

  The Triumphs of A Taxidermist

  The Triumphs of a Taxidermist is a darkly humorous and satirical short story by H. G. Wells that follows the peculiar life and ambitions of Hapworth Gibbins, a devoted taxidermist with grand aspirations of scientific recognition. Isolated in his small shop filled with stuffed animals, Gibbins dreams of presenting a groundbreaking paper at the prestigious Linnean Society—a goal that becomes increasingly obsessive. As he struggles with self-doubt, societal indifference, and his own deteriorating mental state, his passion for taxidermy blurs the line between art, science, and madness. With biting irony and psychological depth, Wells critiques the rigid structures of Victorian science and the alienation of the eccentric individual in a dismissive world. This story is a lesser-known but compelling example of Wells’ ability to blend realism with surrealism and social commentary.
