Je voulus discerner les traits de la femme mystérieuse, mais un tremblement involontaire me parcourut tout entier et une bouffée d'air glacé me frappa au visage. Je n'étais plus couché, mais assis sur mon séant, et, à l'endroit où j'avais cru apercevoir la vision, il n'y avait plus qu'une longue raie de lumière blanche, projetée par la lune.

Aurora Award Finalist.? Alexander King has everything--wealth, power, a business empire over which he rules. But lately, the corporate game in which he excels has lost its thrill for him. He needs a new game. And then, on the crowded streets of Toronto, in the dead cold of winter, she appears before him. The Dancer. Achingly beautiful, half-naked, and dancing to a song that only she and King seem to hear, she becomes King’s new obsession, an obsession that draws him into a journey through a secret world hidden within the city he thought he knew…and to a very special club. "'The Dancer at the Red Door,' with its mix of oblique horror, urban fantasy, and monsters ... recalls British horror novelist Clive Barker at his most disturbingly fanciful." —Quill and Quire "An excellent story … urban fantasy at its best." —Fantasy Book Critic "...intriguing meditation on escapism...evoking Gaiman's Neverwhere, the obligatory helping of Lovecraft, plus a touch of something like Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut" —Strange Horizons "Just as the song of the city leads King throughout his journey, so too does it lead the reader throughout Douglas Smith's beautifully crafted 'The Dancer at the Red Door.' The writing is lean and evocative; every element of the story works double-time as setting informs character, action creates mood, and nothing is superfluous. The song becomes a living, breathing creature which, more so than hearing, I could feel viscerally as I read Doug's wonderful story. Highly, highly recommended." —Rainbow Dragon Recommends
The Last Ride
The Last Ride
Douglas Smith

Vaya is an immortal Valkyrie and favorite daughter of Odin All Father, sworn to carry dead heroes from the battlefields of Earth to live forever in Valhalla. One day, she intervenes on the battlefield to save the life of a soldier who has captured her heart, and is forced by Odin to choose between immortality and the man she loves. Vaya chooses love, not knowing that the hardest choice still lies ahead of her. "…exemplifies the best elements of Douglas Smith’s writing. A Valkyrie falls for her hero, gives up her immortality for him then has to make that inevitable and awful choice afterwards. As always, even for such a brief time, there is so much life in these characters. I don’t bother to marvel at how quickly I come to care for Douglas Smith’s people anymore, it’s a given." —SF Crowsnest Reviews "A gripping portrayal of Vaya, a Valkyrie, and the ultimate sacrifices one makes for love." —SFRevu

Aurora Award WINNER. The Walker is a child of the two Realms of the Continuum, a prince of Order and of Chaos—and a rebel against both. When he falls in love with an ephemeral, a mortal woman who is the key to the balance between the Realms, he triggers a struggle for her life—and the fate of her universe. "A very different sort of tale. ... A cosmic story of gods which seems to be inspired by the works of Michael Moorcock, and I think he would not be ashamed of it." —SF Crowsnest Reviews "A tale of epic love when a mortal gets caught between a battle of the gods. Smith reminds us that we have the potential to change the world around us and that self-sacrifice can be a means of making the world around us better." —Speculating Canada "The descriptions here have cosmic sweep…" —Locus Online

Butcher, employed by a collector, is engaged in finding Aepyornis eggs.

The Remarkable Case of Davidson's Eyes
The Remarkable Case of Davidson's Eyes
H. G. Wells
¥40.79
The transitory mental aberration of Sidney Davidson, remarkable enough in itself, is still more remarkable if Wade's explanation is to be credited. It sets one dreaming of the oddest possibilities of intercommunication in the future, of spending an intercalary five minutes on the other side of the world, or being watched in our most secret operations by unsuspected eyes. It happened that I was the immediate witness of Davidson's seizure, and so it falls naturally to me to put the story upon paper.

The angel opened the book and read a name. It was a name full of A's, and the echoes of it came back out of the uttermost parts of space. I did not catch it clearly, because the little man beside me said, in a sharp jerk, 'What's that?' It sounded like 'Ahab' to me; but it could not have been the Ahab of Scripture.

Here am I, come four hundred miles out of my way to get what is left of the folk-lore of these people, before they are utterly demoralised by missionaries and the military, and all I find are a lot of impossible legends about a sandy-haired scrub of an infantry lieutenant. How he is invulnerable—how he can jump over elephants—how he can fly.

—Pitajte kako mo?ete osvojiti sat u vremenu— Marija Jurkovi? ima puno ve?ih problema od ?injenice da je njen sat stao u 15:57. Kada je odnela svoj sat ljubaznom gospodinu na popravak, osvojila je jedinstvenu nagradu: priliku da ponovno pro?ivi jedan sat svoga ?ivota. Me?utim, Sudbina ima stroga pravila vezana za to tko se i kako mo?e mije?ati u pro?lost, uklju?uju?i i upozorenje da ne smije u?initi ni?ta ?to bi stvorilo vremenski paradoks. Mo?e li se Marija pomiriti s pogre?kama za kojim najvi?e ?ali u ?ivotu? "Dirljiva pri?a. Dobiti priliku promijeniti ono za ?im najvi?e ?ali? je stvarno prilika koja se rijetko dobiva!" —Reader review "Vrlo pokretna i dramati?na pri?a… da imamo priliku promijeniti povijest, bi li to napravili?" —Reader review "Dirljiva kratka pri?a na temu iz Norve?ke mitologije.
