Showing results for "Spectrum" in Anthologies & Short Stories

Diagnosed as severely autistic at the age of three, Tito, nearly nonverbal, was brought up by his loving mother Soma, who taught him to read English and challenged him to write his own stories. The initial result was The Mind Tree, published in 2003, which Tito wrote between the ages of eight and 11. The Gold of the Sunbeams is an equally impressive, beautiful collection of stories, each prefaced by a charming note from Tito explaining how the story came into being.

A student sorcerer just can’t seem to get a break after he transmogrifies his assistant into a palm tree. Alien Bleeders are coming for Earth, ingesting one terraformed planet after another. A ghoul hungers for souls but still finds time to enjoy art. And a shoeshine boy struggles to make ends meet at the far edge of the Oberon Galaxy.

Book View Cafe celebrates its fifth anniversary with an anthology of our favorite stories. From the fantasy and science fiction of our roots to steampunk, romance, historical and mainstream; from humor to life's hardest challenges, across the spectrum from light to dark.

Een gescheiden oplichter verkoopt samen met zijn jonge dochter flessen 'heilige lucht' aan goedgelovige toeristen. Een Libanese Sjeherazade betovert drie jonge soldaten in een door hen bezet radiostation in Beiroet. En een Israëlische vrijwilligster bij een checkpoint op de Westelijke Jordaanoever rouwt om de dood van haar zoon. In de verhalen van Omer Friedlander smachten de personages naar verbinding en gaan momenten van intimiteit samen met humor en absurditeit.

Is it possessed? Is it some kind of experiment? It doesn't matter. All that matters is that it is out to get you. The DilDozer, or DD for short, calls on all of those in its path in the hopes that one day it can unleash its 20 full inches of destructive force upon the world. Keep listening, if you dare, to the tale of the DilDozer. Deadly. Dangerous. Ribbed for her terror.
