But I felt heartsick about losing Tray, on top of all the other horrors. My cousin Claudine, a fullblooded fairy, had also died in the Fae War, and since she’d been my real, true fairy godmother, I missed her in a lot of ways. And she’d been pregnant. I had a lot of pain and regret of all kinds, physical and mental

son todos, sin excepción, nombres horribles y muy feos que remiten a los ambientes lúgubres y morbosos que a ella tanto le gustan. “Vampirella”, por ejemplo, es el nombre más feo.

The celebrated case of the “Modern Jonah” in 1891, in which James Bartley claimed to have been swallowed by a sperm whale and rescued by his crewmates fifteen hours later, has been nailed as a fraud.

the whole thing was a memory. It was less than a puff of smoke. Well, it does not take a genius to know you cannot sell much advertising on a nonexistent website. I worked harder than I had ever worked in my life just to stay alive. My survival and the very survival of the website was dependent upon keeping the sponsors paying. This was not easy. Every day I came to work and faced a growing discontent among those who had paid for advertising that they were not getting. This lasted for nearly two months

Then everywhere, the people will be forced to defend themselves against the world minority of the world revolutionaries and will exterminate

years later, when Harry poured out his confession to Tom over dinner in Brooklyn, he described those months as the most exhilarating and gruesome period of his life. He was trapped in a state of constant fear, he said, and yet notwithstanding the horror, notwithstanding the conviction that he would ultimately be caught, he was happy, as happy as he had ever been. Each time he managed to sell another fauxSmith to a Japanese corporate executive or an Argentinian real estate developer, his pounding

given the right to refuse to marry someone of their father's choosing who absolutely repulsed them, but they did not have the right to choose their own mates. But even their right of refusal had limits, as their dependence upon father or guardian for survival was often absolute. In the mid-eighteenth century, this practice of paternally-arranged marriages began to give way to the companionate marriage, a marriage in which the marriage partners were expected to choose one another on the basis of affection
