"In a German Pension" is a 1911 collection of short stories by the writer Katherine Mansfield; her first published collection. All but three of the stories were originally published in "The New Age" edited by A. R. Orage; the first to appear was "The Child-Who-Was-Tired". The last three were first published in this collection, and her biographer Anthony Alpers thinks that two (The Swing of the Pendulum and The Blaze) were probably rejected by Orage for "The New Age".

Drawn together for the first time, this is a collection of Lily’s short stories about the much-loved men from her Mixed Messages and Finding Home series. Follow them through awkward marriage proposals, birthdays, a fraught babysitting job, and a very drunken Eurovision Song Contest party.

In this collection of horrors, Jason Fischer turns familiar spaces into deadly traps: A dinner with a new “mother” who wasn’t invited. A Halloween visitor offers a treat you must not refuse. A puzzle book that predicts your future—and takes its cut. A cardboard cutout boy that won’t stay where it’s put. A dark carnival ride with no power runs perfectly on what you fear most.

A curious girl experiments with her father’s putrefying corpse. An attempt at resurrection in Key West leads to an unusual meal. An evening with a babysitter brings forth an altogether different form of “Satanic Panic.” Tim Waggoner calls Douglas Ford a “sinister surgeon with a night black scalpel,” and with this collection of stories, you’re invited to witness what happens when we cut up dad.

Satirical and harrowing, Influence is a collection of experimental stories exposing the horror that lurks in modern society. Artificial intelligence for exorcisms, wellness fads gone deadly, lockdown cabin fever, and the dangers of our need to be adored.

Un joven presiente que el coche que lo acaba de recoger va a sufrir un accidente; en otro relato se salva de una sobredosis, y más tarde ve morir a un amigo. En estos once relatos breves protagonizados por seres desorientados y marginados, Denis Johnson habla del dolor y la trascendencia, de tocar fondo y de salir a flote, de perderse y encontrarse. Crónica visionaria de soñadores, adictos y almas perdidas, la cruda belleza y la energía velada de la prosa de Denis Johnson han hecho que Hijo de Jesús merezca un lugar entre los clásicos del siglo xx de la literatura norteamericana.

In seven and a half interlinked stories, Aaron Kreuter’s Rubble Children tackles Jewish belonging, settler colonialism, Zionism and anti-Zionism, love requited and unrequited, and cannabis culture, all drenched in suburban wonder and dread. Sometimes realist, sometimes not, the book revolves around Kol B'Seder, a fictional Reform synagogue in the Toronto suburb of Thornhill.

In Liliana Colanzi’s singular collection of short stories, set in a Latin America at once real and otherworldly, human vice contaminates every second.

For millennia, Death watched over the fleeting lives of mortals, claiming their souls as is her duty. Each year, the story was the same. Humans wasted the gifts they were given, allowing the precious sands of time to slip through their grasp. But, who did they blame? Not themselves, of course, but the horseman who came to collect her due. Such an existence grew tiresome for the creature. Bored of humanity’s antics, the reaper opened a quiet apothecary and began peddling her curious wares. Her little shop became an escape from their ire, a distraction to pass the decades.

At the edge of a silent village, a walled garden hums softly at dusk. Beneath an apricot tree, a humble pillowmaker works in the fading light, filling soft linen cases with herbs, feathers, and memory. Every pillow he shapes carries a trace of the day—the scent of lavender, the hush of rain, the warmth of stones cooling at sunset.

Alessandra si è lasciata convincere da sua madre a trascorrere il Natale in montagna, a casa di alcuni amici di famiglia. Ha accettato solo dopo aver saputo che il figlio dei loro amici, Tommaso, non ci sarà, perché impegnato in uno dei suoi viaggi esotici in giro per il mondo. I due si conoscono da tanti anni ma non sono mai andati particolarmente d'accordo, e Alessandra sogna un Natale tranquillo, non certo scene di guerriglia a tavola. Peccato che il destino abbia invece in serbo per lei delle feste piene di sorprese.

In a quiet lane beneath the clocktower, there is a small shop that lives between time and memory. Its shelves are filled with forgotten treasures—canes polished by years of touch, violins that remember their music, books that still breathe with stories. And at the back of the room, lit by a single candle, stands a mirror that does not reflect the face, but something deeper.

When grief-stricken psychiatrist Dr. Gabriel Winter starts seeing blood-soaked Christmas visions, he learns Santa’s naughty list is deadly. Love Santa wants to spread Christmas cheer—one scream at a time!

On a narrow country road in the English countryside, a faded cream-and-green bus rolls through the twilight — slow, steady, quiet. It stops at a sign that reads Before Your Dream. One by one, passengers board: an elderly woman with a basket of warm scones, a man with a bouquet he doesn’t remember picking up, a girl in boots too large. They don’t speak. They simply know it’s time.

A man gets into a car that can take him anywhere he can imagine—including the past, into the worst mistake of his life, a memory he does not want to relive, cannot escape, and is even more afraid to alter. A seemingly harmless, forgettable film about “alien hand syndrome” inspires a wave of self-harm among viewers—and even stranger things among those who become obsessed with it.
