Sinopsis

A child waits for the tooth fairy; a mother spends a night watching a recording of the previous night; two women face the ghosts that haunted their grandmothers. The nights in these ten stories are thick and substantial, ambiguous and alluring.

Eerie, magical, hushed and surprisingly alive, this anthology shows the night as a place where connections are made and daylit lives can be changed.
Disponible desde: 27/10/2022.
Longitud de impresión: 53 páginas.

    He’s a widower attending a medical conference. She’s a recent divorcee hoping to get her groove back. He’s noticed her before, but this time is different, with an empty ring finger to prove it. Can he convince her they’re meant for more than a week long love affair? 
    Jack: I’ve attended this medical office convention before, but this is the first time I’m feeling bold. But I didn’t expect the shy woman I’ve been checking out for the last couple of years to not only be available, but interested in a Vegas fling. Only one week will never be enough for me, but how do I convince her to want more? 
    Diane: First time I’m attending this convention this single, and my girlfriend has filled my head with stories about “what happens in Vegas” touting it's time for Diane to get her groove back. She’s right, and when I meet Jack, I’m sure he’s the one I want to have this sexual reawakening with—only nothing about him feels temporary. Can he fall for a woman who propositions him for a no-strings-attached weekend? 
    Each book in the series is a complete, standalone story. This is a steamy, short story romance, complete with instalove and a guaranteed happily ever-after. If you're looking for a great lunchtime read, or something to spark sexy dreams before bed, you’ll want to pick this one up.

    Charlotte Perkins Gilman - Six...

    Six has always been a number we group things around – Six of the best, six of one half a dozen of another, six feet under, six pack, six degrees of separation and a sixth sense are but a few of the ways we use this number. 
     
    Such is its popularity that we thought it is also a very good way of challenging and investigating an author’s work to give width, brevity, humour and depth across six of their very best. 
     
    In this series we gather together authors whose short stories both rivet the attention and inspire the imagination to visit their gems in a series of six, to roam across an author’s legacy in a few short hours and gain a greater understanding of their writing and, of course, to be lavishly entertained by their ideas, their narrative and their way with words. 
     
    These stories can be surprising and sometimes at a tangent to what we expected, but each is fully formed and a marvellous adventure into the world and words of a literary master.

    The Crucifixion of the Outcast

    W. B. Yeats

    In The Crucifixion of the Outcast, W.B. Yeats weaves a haunting parable of injustice, piety, and the tragic fate of visionaries scorned by society. Set in a mythic version of early Christian Ireland, the story follows a devout, ragged poet who begs for sanctuary from a monastery — only to find rejection, ridicule, and ultimate martyrdom at the hands of those who claim to follow Christ. 
    This powerful tale explores the hypocrisy of religious institutions, the alienation of the artist, and the price of true spiritual conviction. Rich with allegory and poetic symbolism, Yeats paints a bleak but beautiful portrait of the eternal outcast — one whose death becomes his final and purest act of devotion. 
    Perfect for fans of literary allegory, Irish folklore, and philosophical fiction, The Crucifixion of the Outcast is both a social critique and a deeply moving spiritual meditation.
