The Showers

Pages : 144
Book Description
It's more than just an urban legend... Jack's former English teacher, Mr. Mays, told a scary story every Halloween. It was about a place out in rural Nebraska--a building he called "The Showers"--and the supernatural horrors there that threatened to consume him. Now that school is long over, Jack wonders if there isn't more to the infamous tale. Curiosity leads him on a hunt for the mysterious building, and what begins as a road trip quickly spirals out of control. Maybe The Showers is a real place. And maybe, it's more than just a story. Dylan Sindelar's debut novella comes to you revised and expanded from its original appearance on Reddit /r/nosleep, where it was awarded "Scariest of the Year" by the board. Since then, its initial parts have appeared on the award winning NoSleep Podcast, and the story continues to terrify readers and listeners alike. This new edition features the complete story as it has never appeared before--rewritten and further developed by the author. Look no further for your Halloween reading. The Showers is more than just a ghost story; it's an exploration into mental illness, and the things we use to hide from our inner-demons. Sindelar's horror has a human pulse--building dread with each tick as the clock counts down to the ultimate conclusion. Will Jack manage to look evil straight in the eyes? Will he escape his own undoing? One thing is for certain: nothing can prepare him for what's ahead... "He told us how the bulb flickered to life and cast a dim light on the group of people in front of him. He could see children--at least twenty of them--all dressed in nightgowns that were tattered, torn, and stained dark with mud or something worse. Their bodies and faces were nearly obscured by their long and matted down hair. Not a single one of them appeared to have seen a shower or nice bath in their entire life. "Mr. Mays told the class that the most terrifying aspect of the entire situation was that not a single child moved an inch. They all stood staring, most of them only visible from the light reflecting off of their eyes. The group was collectively paralyzed with fear when they heard what sounded like an animal in the distance yelping. The sound morphed slowly into something resembling the dying cries of a larger beast--wounded and pleading in the darkness. Despite being unable to determine the full size of the room from the lack of light, he said that the noise filled the space so fully that the creature at the source of the sound would have needed to be impossibly large in order to conjure such a cry. This spurred the group into desperate action as the children began to step towards them. Mr. Mays' friends grabbed their injured comrade and lifted him out of the room and into the tunnel as quickly as they could. Mr. Mays took another moment to move and had difficulty finding his bearings. He reached to his left in an attempt to find a wall to lean against, eventually grasping a handle and pulling on it hard, never taking his eyes off of the children..."

Group Portrait with Lady
Author: Heinrich Boll
Publisher: Melville House
ISBN: 1935554336
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 466
Book Description
Cited by the Nobel Prize committee as the “crown” of Heinrich Böll’s work, the gripping story of Group Portrait With Lady unspools like a suspenseful documentary. Via a series of tense interviews, an unnamed narrator uncovers the story—past and present—of one of Böll’s most intriguing characters, the enigmatic Leni Pfeiffer, a struggling war widow. At the center of her struggle is her effort to prevent the demolition of her Cologne apartment building, a fight in which she is joined by a motley group of neighbors. Along with her illegitimate son, Lev, she becomes the nexus of a countercultural group rebelling against Germany’s dehumanizing past under the Nazis ... and what looks to be an equally dehumanizing future under capitalism.
