Saitan: सैतान
by Narayan Dharap“खिडकीच्या काचेबाहेरून दोन मोठे, काळेभोर डोळे तिच्याकडे रोखून पाहत होते. त्या एकाग्र नजरेत अशी काही शक्ती होती की, लताला आपली नजर त्यांच्यावरून काढताच येत नव्हती. ती नजर एखाद्या गिरमिटासारखी तिच्या मेंदूचा, तिच्या मनाचा छेद घेत घेत पार तिच्या आत्म्यापर्यंत पोहोचत होती आणि लताला दिसत होतं की, बाहेर होतं ते काही कोणी माणूस नव्हतं, एवढंच नाही, ते जिवंतही नव्हतं. भयाच्या कडेवर मेंदू लटपटत असतानाही ते काय आहे हे तिला समजत होतं.- ती एक बाहुली होती. गारगोट्यांसारख्या मोठ्या मोठ्या डोळ्यांची, लाललाल ओठांची, गोबऱ्या गालाची ती बाहुली होती. पण आता चेहऱ्याचा डावीकडचा भाग जळून, होरपळून, वितळून विकृत झाला होता. एक गालही आत बसला होता. पण ते डोळे! ते जिवंत होते! ते तीव्र भावनांनी लवलवत होते! ती नजर तिचा मेंदू जाळत खोलवर पोहोचत होती. पुन्हा एकदा ती कुजबुज आली. भुश्यात पाणी जिरावं तशी ती कुजबुज तिच्या सर्व शरीरात भिनली. पण ते काही शब्द असले तर तिला ते नीट उमगले नाहीत, त्यांचा अर्थही ध्यानात आला नाही.''

It's up to Samuel to stop her, except nobody will believe him, and time is running out.The Infernals (prev. Hell's Bells): Samuel and Boswell are pulled through a portal into Hell. But Mrs Abernathy has reckoned without their bravery and cleverness, or the loyalty of Samuel's friend, the demon Nurd, and Mr Merryweather's Elves.The Creeps: Samuel and Boswell are to be guests of honour at the opening of the greatest toyshop. A splendid time will be had by all, as long as they can ignore the sinister statue that keeps moving around the town, the Shadows that are slowly blocking out the stars, murderous elves, and the fact that, somewhere, a rotten black heart is beating a rhythm of revenge.
Samuel Johnson's Eternal Return (The Golden Greek)
by Martin Riker&“A comic-philosophical novel, the other side of the same coin as Milan Kundera&’s The Unbearable Lightness of Being.&” —The Wall Street Journal As a boy in an isolated religious community in Pennsylvania, Samuel Johnson sneaks off to watch TV with a neighbor girl—whom he eventually grows up and marries, only to lose her at a young age. When he too dies just a few years later, he inexplicably finds himself in the body of the man who killed him, unable to depart this world but determined, at least, to return to the son he left behind. Moving from body to body as each one expires, Samuel&’s soul journeys on a comic quest through an American half-century, inhabiting lives that are as stymied, in their ways, as his own. A ghost story of the most unexpected sort, Martin Riker&’s extraordinary debut is &“a darkly funny contemporary story&” (St. Louis Post-Dispatch) about the ways experience is mediated, the unstoppable drive for human connection, and the struggle to be more fully alive in the world. &“Like a television rerun, Samuel&’s situation repeats, but the story of his eternal return does end, as all books must, in a manner that is absolutely dazzling.&”—Los Angeles Times &“Unforgettable.&”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
