He squinted, looked hard, saw: primordial ooze, spawning strange beings down below, a race of quasi-lunged, half-legged creatures dragging themselves along the bottom; a world sunless, gloomy, nocturnal, where sunken logs lay, sodden and heavy, poor dead drowned things, and with them, hidden in the murk, savage bloated creatures, mouths wide as shovels, thick lips nuzzling threads of water-whitened ganglia, picking clean of flesh skeletons through whose empty eye-sockets coldly glowing eels wound like night trains, while overhead through the ruined roof, pterodactyls soared the vacant sky.

The Other Black Girl: The bestselling book behind the major The Other Black Girl: The bestselling book behind the major

The Other was followed by Lady (1975), which concerns the friendship between an eight-year-old boy and a mysterious widow in 1930s New England. I feel like this could have done so much better if it was more focused, and the marketing reflected that. Allí viven los gemelos Niles y Holland Perry con su madre, Alexandra Perry, su abuela rusa; Ada (una señora con la que se traen su famoso "juego", rodeada de misterio y supersticiones), los sirvientes Winnie y el señor Angelini, y otros parientes de los alrededores que con bastante frecuencia van de visita.

Henry suffers an injury to his leg while jousting in 1536, and his time recovering stokes worries that public sentiment is turning. If you're looking for King/Koontz-style horror, you'd best look elsewhere, as THE OTHER harks back instead to Ray Bradbury, Shirley Jackson and even Henry James. I will say a HUGE caveat that this review may be revised after publishing, because I read an early proof and I imagine it will be significantly edited to iron out some of the mistakes/problems in the writing, so I'm reviewing under that assumption. It was fast-paced and mostly light, so if you’re looking for a cosy little romance read this is a good choice. Oh yes, there were the mixed signs, on the cusp, as one says--they should have been more alike; nevertheless, the difference.

The Other Passenger by Louise Candlish | Goodreads

It is shown both as a cruel act and as an adoption in the modern sense, in which the child's caretakers are considered his legal and social parents.I was expecting a really spooky, Halloween read considering all of the orange and pumpkins on the cover. I’m not going to be able to discuss plot very much because this is a book that the pleasure resides in the building of tension and the twists and turns that slowly reveal the true horror happening at Pequod Landing. Lentamente, muy suave, muy sutil, esta historia se despliega como la boca dentada de una planta carnívora, tan verde y fresca por fuera y tan roja y letal por dentro. Holland has a blue-black dot on his ring finger that will prove to be an interesting clue in the novel’s plot. I just finished this novel, and wow, I'm still trying to process how surprised I am that this gem of a horror story isn't more popular.
