Trainspotting (Mark Renton)
by Irvine WelshTrainspotting is the novel that first launched Irvine Welsh's spectacular career—an authentic, unrelenting, and strangely exhilarating episodic group portrait of blasted lives. It accomplished for its own time and place what Hubert Selby, Jr.'s Last Exit to Brooklyn did for his. Rents, Sick Boy, Mother Superior, Swanney, Spuds, and Seeker are as unforgettable a clutch of junkies, rude boys, and psychos as readers will ever encounter. Trainspotting was made into the 1996 cult film starring Ewan MacGregor and directed by Danny Boyle (Shallow Grave).

Traição entre Lobisomens
by Vianka Van Bokkem Fabrício Lopes RochaMeus pais e eu pertencíamos ao clã lobisomem de Sergei. Nós morávamos perto da fronteira entre Rússia e Alasca. Quando Sergei, nosso macho alfa , anunciou que estava levando o clã para o Alasca, fiquei confusa. Nosso novo vilarejo parecia o mesmo em que morávamos na Rússia. Alguns meses mais tarde, eu estava à caça de linces, leões da montanha, alces e ursos polares. Uma noite, senti vontade de ir para meu local favorito, próximo ao rio; saí furtivamente da cabana onde meus pais estavam dormindo. Eu me transformei em lobisomem fêmea e comecei a correr em direção ao rio. A neve recém-caída me me fez muito feliz. Meia hora mais tarde, cheguei ao meu destino: uma das minhas árvores prediletas tinha um buraco na parte inferior, e eu guardava roupas de frio ali. Quando terminei de me vestir, eu escalei a árvore e me sentei em um de seus galhos. Caía neve das àrvores à minha volta; o rio estava congelado mas, mesmo assim, eu ainda gostava dele. Um par de coelhos fazia buracos por perto. Eu era meio que uma solitária, e meu comportamento era visto como estranho pelos outros, mas não para mim. De repente, ouvi um vozerio e risadas. Eu avistei uma garota morena fugindo de um grupo de garotos. Ela era extremamente rápida; segundos depois, o aroma de lobisomem fêmea me indicou sua localização.
