Quand il sauve une demoiselle en détresse dans un petit village de campagne en lui évitant une collision avec un attelage hors de contrôle, il lui vient à l’esprit qu’il a peut-être tort. Elle l’aime, mais n’accepte pas ce qu’il est vraiment… Miss Alice Morrowe est aveugle, célibataire, mal-aimée et rejetée par presque tous ceux qu’elle a rencontré.

Quand elle se retrouve plaquée au sol dans un enchevêtrement de bras et de jambes par un homme entièrement nu, au milieu d’un tonnerre de sabots de chevaux, elle ne peut s’empêcher de se demander si sa vie n’est pas sur le point de changer. Une alliance temporaire qui est tout sauf ça… Donovan voit en elle le moyen de vaincre sa malédiction s’il parvient à la séduire et à s’en faire aimer. Alice espère trouver auprès de lui du réconfort et le frisson d’une histoire d’amour. Elle est plus que ravie de vivre enfin la vie dont elle a toujours rêvé, mais est-ce de son amour que Donovan a besoin pour se débarrasser de la bête en lui ? Quand les choses ne tournent pas comme ils l’avaient prévu l’un et l’autre, les tempéraments s’échauffent. Seule la vérité et un amour sincère pourront ramener un peu de clarté, d’espoir… et une fin heureuse.

Audience Reaction
by Robert F. YoungIn Science Fiction, of the many things an author can do is to take an established trend and carry it on to extremities. Such stories are rarely good prophecy, since they cannot foresee other developments of the future which are most likely to modify the trend with which they are dealing. But such stories make good reading nonetheless, and can be delightfully unpleasant as in the present instance. Robert F. Young was a Hugo nominated author known for his lyrical and sentimental prose. His work appeared in Amazing Stories, Fantastic Stories, Startling Stories, Playboy, The Saturday Evening Post, Collier&’s, Galaxy Magazine, and Analog Science Fact & Fiction.
Audition: A Novel
by Pip AdamLonglisted for the 2025 Dublin Literary Award&“Profoundly anti-carceral, abundantly queer, and weird as f*ck, Audition will lead you to spine-tingling places if you are willing to navigate its corridors.&” —Casey Lucas, bad appleThe spaceship Audition is hurtling through the cosmos towards the event horizon. Squashed immobile into its largest room are three giants: Alba, Stanley, and Drew. If they talk, the spaceship keeps moving; if they are silent, they resume growing. So they talk, and as they do, Alba, Stanley, and Drew recover their shared memory of what has been done to their former selves—experiences of imprisonment, violence, and misrecognition, of disempowerment and underprivilege. Part science fiction, part social realism, Audition asks what happens when systems of power decide someone takes up too much room, and about how we live with each other&’s cruelties, imagine new forms of justice, and transcend the bodies and selves we are given.

Aura: A Novel
by Carlos FuentesThe classic—and controversial—Mexican novella: “A beautiful horror story, a horrifying story of beauty, a combination of Poe, Baudelaire, and Isak Dinesen.” —NewsweekFelipe Montero is employed in the house of an aged widow to edit her deceased husband’s memoirs. There Felipe meets her beautiful green-eyed niece, Aura. His passion for Aura and his gradual discovery of the true relationship between the young woman and her aunt propel the story to its extraordinary conclusion.This ebook edition of Carlos Fuentes’ novel includes only the English translation by Lysander Kemp. The Spanish text is not included.“Carlos Fuentes is a major force in contemporary Mexican letters. An heir to the exacerbated social conscience which burst forth in the flood of so-called ‘novels of the Mexican Revolution,’ he distinguishes himself today not only by his writing but also by the forceful leadership which he gives to the intellectual life of his country.” —The New York Times“An incredible story of love, death, and fate . . . a haunting and mesmerizing experience.” —The Sunflower“A novella by the author of Where the Air is Clear, The Good Conscience, and The Death of Artemio Cruz finds him at brilliant dark play as he swiftly carries the horror to its proof and inevitable fulfillment . . . Black on black, with all the accoutrements of the classic horror tale, this attains a fatalism that is the fullest realization of fantasy.” —Kirkus Reviews
