Levi found out how much void a woman could fill in his heart. But the heartache and betrayal wasn’t worth it. He was better off alone…wasn’t he?

Vizio di forma è la seconda raccolta di racconti fanta-tecnologici e fanta-biologici di Primo Levi. Uscita nel 1971, a cinque anni dalle Storie naturali, è un'opera non solo ecologica ma ecosistemica. Chimico dagli interessi enciclopedici, con una particolare passione per la natura, gli animali, i linguaggi, il piacere della sperimentazione e della ricerca, Levi esplora le infinite possibilità combinatorie che la materia consente, ma non dimentica di cogliere le anomalie, le sfasature, i "vizi di forma" in cui si annida il germe di catastrofi piccole e grandi.

Le "Storie naturali" di Primo Levi uscirono nel 1966 con lo pseudonimo di Damiano Malabaila. Fu la casa editrice a suggerire all'autore una qualche presa di distanza da questi racconti fantascientifici apparentemente così lontani dai due libri di Levi pubblicati in precedenza: "Se questo è un uomo" e "La tregua". Oggi che finalmente sappiamo distinguere il testimone dallo scrittore, i racconti delle "Storie naturali", come già quelli del "Sistema periodico", sono destinati a crescere nella considerazione dei critici e dei lettori.

In these 10 stories (three of which appear here for the first time), Levi S. Peterson demonstrates his continuing engagement to take seriously the duty of the fiction writer to illuminate and entertain. His subject remains Latter-day Saints caught between the polarities of conscience and passion.

This award-winning collection of Barbadian stories showcases the controversial and often hidden aspects of a Caribbean paradise. Love, relationships, and the human condition are explored through surprisingly humorous narratives on politics in the rum shop, sex-tourism, domestic abuse, and much more. Shakirah Bourne writes in a satirical and humorous style that is brilliantly realised through the voice talents of Levi King, Janelle Gilkes, and Ayesha Gibson-Gill.

MWA Grand Master Lawrence Block presents 23 stories, all of them on the dark side, and all of them set in the city that never sleeps.

Costruito dal Centro internazionale di studi Primo Levi, "Auschwitz, città tranquilla" ci offre dieci suoi testi narrativi, incorniciati da due poesie: dodici punti di vista, inaspettati e avvincenti, sulla maggiore tragedia collettiva del Novecento. Nel segno di un paradossale titolo d'autore, la "città tranquilla" del campo di sterminio si apre, in questa antologia, in ogni direzione: quella fantastica, nel trittico di racconti distopici e "tedeschi" costituito da Angelica Farfalla, Versamina e La bella addormentata nel frigo.

These stories wrestle with the experience of loss—of loved ones, of relationships, of a sense of self, of health—and forge a path to hope as characters fight their way forward. From bestsellers and SPFBO finalists to rising voices, 13 exceptionally talented authors explore the many facets of grief and healing through the lens of fantasy and sci-fi.

The 58 stories of Rain Check explore the vast universes that exist within the 1,000 word confines of flash literature. The material leaps gracefully from the humorous, the heartbreaking, reverent, profane, carnal, and the ethereal. Noe makes us feel bound in deeply personal moments and experiences that, in turn, tap into the unifying humanity that binds us all. Rain Check zooms in and out of the macro and microscopic, while always keeping a keen eye on the multi-faceted mystery of being that seems to only make sense through contradiction.

Eine Notlandung in Calvi, Korsika. Anstatt wie geplant nach Madrid weiterzureisen, das Mobilfunkgerät weggeworfen. In Erinnerungen eintauchen. Dort wartet der übermächtige, alles manipulierende Buchmacher. Ein Weg zu sich selbst über bodenloses Nichts.

"Levi the Fish Who Wasn’t Perfect" makes you laugh even when you’ve listened to it one hundred times. It’s about a handicapped fish, and it’s hilarious. "Samson the Flying Pig" and other stories from Rose of Sharon Farm is a collection of short reminiscences from Dr. Zebulun’s old farm, humorous but with some instances of attacks on the farm animals by wild animals (which really happened and happens). One of the attacks was on Rooster Brown, who not only survived the attack but became the "little David" of the farm after that (his "Goliath" was a neighbor’s boxer dog).

Dare to explore the twisted corridors of "The Hospice", where a dying patient's prophecy sends shivers down a young nurse's spine. Feast upon the unimaginable at Club Numinous, where culinary delights hide a terrifying secret. Discover the terror of "Crybaby Bridge", where a haunting legend becomes all too real. These tales and more await you within this anthology, penned with a touch of madness and a love for the macabre. Every story is a doorway, and behind each lies a realm of fear, mystery, and dark fascination.
