										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A gripping blend of the raw, the astonishing and the tragic, every story is as perfectly unexpected as a snare: tightly, exquisitely wound, ready to snap at a touch.</p>
<p>Here, a young father is haunted by the consequences of a moment of distraction; tragedy is complicated by the inexplicable appearance of an injured horse; an attempted poisoning leads two writers to startling conclusions; a lonely woman&#8217;s charity is rewarded with home-invasion. And in the shocking opening story, a mother surfaces from the depths of the lake behind her house, where she saw something awful yet alluring.</p>
<p>Guilt, grief and relationships severed permeate this mesmerizing collection &#8211; but so do unspeakable bonds of family, love and longing, each sinister and beautiful.</p>
<p>Step by step these unnerving stories lure us into the shadows to confront the monsters of everyday life &#8211; ourselves.</p>
<p>Un&#8217;avvincente miscela di crudo, sorprendente e tragico, ogni storia è inaspettata come una trappola: tesa, squisitamente avvolta, pronta a spezzarsi al minimo tocco.</p>
<p>Qui, un giovane padre è tormentato dalle conseguenze di un momento di distrazione; la tragedia è complicata dall&#8217;inspiegabile comparsa di un cavallo ferito; un tentativo di avvelenamento porta due scrittori a conclusioni sorprendenti; la carità di una donna sola viene ricompensata con un&#8217;invasione domestica. E nella sconvolgente storia d&#8217;apertura, una madre emerge dalle profondità del lago dietro casa sua, dove ha visto qualcosa di orribile ma affascinante.</p>
<p>Colpa, dolore e relazioni interrotte permeano questa affascinante raccolta, ma lo fanno anche i legami indicibili di famiglia, amore e desiderio, ognuno sinistro e meraviglioso.</p>
<p>Passo dopo passo, queste storie inquietanti ci attirano nell&#8217;ombra per affrontare i mostri della vita quotidiana: noi stessi.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of best-loved, essential classics. But the wildest of all the wild animals was the Cat. He walked by himself, and all places were alike to him.</p>
<p>Cats have long been considered creatures of mystery and magic. Worshipped as deities in some cultures, feared as harbingers of bad fortune in others, it&#8217;s little surprise that their enigmatic charm continues to capture our imaginations today. This classic collection of the most beloved cat tales includes Saki&#8217;s <em>Tobermory</em>, in which a straight-talking cat leaves dinner guests aghast yet entranced; a Norse fairy tale involving a spectacular feline rescue; <em>The Dragon Tamers</em> by E.Nesbit; and H. P. Lovecraft&#8217;s strange story <em>The Cats of Ulthar</em>; amongst many others to enjoy for years to come.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>From Joyce Carol Oates, one of America&#8217;s most feted and critically acclaimed authors, a collection of mysterious, suspenseful and macabre tales. In her inimitable style, Oates takes the reader on unsettling journeys through the modern American psyche. Here you will find tales of loss and grief, confusion and darkness; of violent ends and the cruel march of time; of failed relationships, family secrets, and professional jealousy; of deceitful lovers, distant spouses, and those with murder in mind.</p>
<p>Dark secrets or their own consciences impact Oates&#8217; characters as she moves between small American towns and anonymous urban sprawls, between the courtroom, the hospital, the world of academia, and the wilderness of upstate New York with deft skill in this tantalising collection of the macabre and mysterious, the suspenseful and the sublime.</p>
<p>Da Joyce Carol Oates, una delle autrici americane più acclamate e acclamate dalla critica, una raccolta di racconti misteriosi, pieni di suspense e macabri. Con il suo stile inimitabile, Oates accompagna il lettore in un viaggio inquietante attraverso la psiche americana moderna. Qui troverete storie di perdita e dolore, confusione e oscurità; di fini violenti e del crudele passare del tempo; di relazioni fallite, segreti di famiglia e gelosie professionali; di amanti disonesti, coniugi distanti e di persone con l&#8217;omicidio in mente.</p>
<p>Oscuri segreti o la loro stessa coscienza influenzano i personaggi di Oates mentre si muove con abilità tra piccole città americane e anonime distese urbane, tra l&#8217;aula di tribunale, l&#8217;ospedale, il mondo accademico e la natura selvaggia dello stato di New York settentrionale, in questa stuzzicante raccolta di macabro e misterioso, di suspense e sublime.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In this compulsive collection of twelve witty stories, Sittenfeld shows why she&#8217;s as beloved for her short fiction as she is for her novels, as she conjures up characters so real that they seem like old friends.</p>
<p>In <em>The Patron Saints of Middle Age</em>, a woman visits two friends she hasn&#8217;t seen since her divorce. In <em>A for Alone</em>, a married artist embarks on a project intended to disprove the so-called Mike Pence Rule, which suggests that women and men can&#8217;t spend time alone together without lusting after each other. And in <em>Lost but Not Forgotten</em>, Sittenfeld gives readers of her novel <i>Prep</i> a new window into the world of her beloved character Lee Fiora, decades later, when Lee attends an awkward school reunion.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Cassandra may have seen the future, but it doesn&#8217;t mean she&#8217;s resigned to telling the Trojans everything she knows. In this ebullient collection, virgins escape from being sacrificed, witches refuse to be burned, whores aren&#8217;t ashamed, and every woman gets a chance to be a radioactive cockroach warrior who snaps back at catcallers. Gwen E. Kirby experiments with found structures&#8211;a Yelp review, a WikiHow article&#8211;which her fierce, irreverent narrators push against, showing how creativity within an enclosed space undermines and deconstructs the constraints themselves. When these women tell the stories of their triumphs as well as their pain, they emerge as funny, angry, loud, horny, lonely, strong protagonists who refuse to be secondary characters a moment longer. From <em>The Best and Only Whore of Cym Hyfryd, 1886</em> to the <em>Midwestern Girl Is Tired of Appearing in Your Short Stories</em>, Kirby is playing and laughing with the women who have come before her and they are telling her<span class="a-text-italic">, </span><span class="a-text-italic">we have always been this way</span><span class="a-text-italic">. </span><span class="a-text-italic">You just had to know where to look</span><span class="a-text-italic">.</span></p>
