Showing results for "Day for Night" in Anthologies & Short Stories

Night & Day takes us from the dusty shelves of an uncanny library filled with fictional characters to a bunker deep beneath the earth where scientists seek revenge on old Nazis, from an English marsh haunted by a mother and her son to a country house where a grieving widower finds comfort in a most unlikely source.

NOVIO POR TREINTA DÍAS: Nunca debería haber aceptado ese acuerdo… Hace treinta días, mi jefe —un tiburón de Wall Street— acudió a mí con una oferta que no pude rechazar: poner mi firma en una línea de puntos y fingir ser su prometida durante un mes. Si accedía, podía rescindir mi contrato laboral con una indemnización por despido «extremadamente generosa». Las normas eran muy sencillas: prohibido besarse y tener sexo.

A volunteer candy-striper stays over night at St. Mary's hospital to watch over a boy from her class. The same boy that had asked her to the school dance five times already. The same boy that she'd rejected five times already....

As has been the custom in compiling these anthologies, the crème de la crème of authors and filmmakers who both lived and thrived during the period in question, like the Avengers assembled to bring you this - the last dance.
