Book Description
Do you like it when terrible things happen to bad people? Of course! Who doesn’t? But it does not happen often enough, so fiction needs to step in to correct the imbalance. In this anthology, poetic justice takes place in a variety of unpleasant, satisfying ways. Innocent characters get sucked into the grinder too, but remember it is okay not to feel bad for them, because deep down they probably had it coming... And also they’re not real. The stories in here are both humorous and shocking. They leave an impression with the reader, whether by making them laugh or lay awake at night. From to sci-fi comedy to horror, there is not one exact genre, but also not a single boring story. People are abducted by well-endowed aliens, get tortured for a living, have their hearts explode, find forbidden love, and there is even a talking dog!
Things were always like this; you just didn't notice

Hummingbird Salamander
Author: Jeff VanderMeer
Publisher: MCD
ISBN: 0374719020
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 266
Book Description
Named one of NPR's Best Books of 2021 From the author of Annihilation, a brilliant speculative thriller of dark conspiracy, endangered species, and the possible end of all things. Security consultant “Jane Smith” receives an envelope with a key to a storage unit that holds a taxidermied hummingbird and clues leading her to a taxidermied salamander. Silvina, the dead woman who left the note, is a reputed ecoterrorist and the daughter of an Argentine industrialist. By taking the hummingbird from the storage unit, Jane sets in motion a series of events that quickly spin beyond her control. Soon, Jane and her family are in danger, with few allies to help her make sense of the true scope of the peril. Is the only way to safety to follow in Silvina’s footsteps? Is it too late to stop? As she desperately seeks answers about why Silvina contacted her, time is running out—for her and possibly for the world. Hummingbird Salamander is Jeff VanderMeer at his brilliant, cinematic best, wrapping profound questions about climate change, identity, and the world we live in into a tightly plotted thriller full of unexpected twists and elaborate conspiracy.
