It is the summer of 1914. As the world teeters on the brink of the Great War, a callow American painter, Francis Wyndham, arrives at a renowned European insane asylum, where he begins offering art therapy under the auspices of Alessandro Caligari - sinister psychiatrist, maniacal artist, alleged sorcerer. And determined to turn the impending cataclysm to his financial advantage, Dr. Caligari will - for a price - allow governments to parade their troops past his masterpiece: a painting so mesmerizing it can incite entire regiments to rush headlong into battle.

Margot is the child of renowned musicians and the product of a particularly punky upbringing. Burnt-out from the burden of expectation and the bad end of the worst relationship yet, she leaves New York and heads to to the Pacific Northwest. She's seeking to escape both the eyes of the world and the echoing voice of that last bad man. But a chance encounter with a dubious doctor in a graveyard, and the discovery of a dozen old film reels, opens the door to a study of both the peculiarities of her body and the absurdities of her famous family.

The grand ship Glory has been skilfully captained for years, but when its well-loved old skipper decides to step down, a new leader thrusts himself forward and a new era begins. The new Captain is vulgar, bumbling and inexplicably confident. With no knowledge of nautical navigation or maritime law - nor even, as he has repeatedly remarked, a particular liking for boats - he solemnly swears to shake things up.

Story39
At turns nonchalantly hip and charmingly deranged, Suzuki's singular slant on speculative fiction would be echoed in countless later works, from Margaret Atwood and Harumi Murakami, to Black Mirror and Ex Machina. In these darkly playful and punky stories, the fantastical elements are always earthed by the universal pettiness of strife between the sexes, and the gritty reality of life on the lower rungs, whatever planet that ladder might be on.

If you enjoy the absurd humor of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, the wit of Terry Pratchett, and stories that make you laugh first and think deeper, welcome to The Ridiculous. What if you woke up in the wrong body... on the wrong planet... with no idea how to get home? One impossible glitch triggers a cosmic identity swap between a human from Earth and a being from somewhere very much not Earth. Suddenly, nothing makes sense. Not the body. Not the planet. Not the rules. And definitely not the universe.

The Novices of Lerna introduces the enigmatic fictions of Ángel Bonomini to English listeners for the first time. Shot through with wry humor and tender absurdity, these meditations on identity, surveillance, and isolation remain eerily prescient. The collection's central novella follows Ramon Beltra, an unambitious scholar who receives a mysterious invitation to a lucrative six-month fellowship at the University of Lerna in Switzerland.

Nessuno si aspettava il Contrappasso. Eppure, in una giornata simile a tante altre, gli esseri umani avevano iniziato a morire in modi violenti e atroci. Per motivi sconosciuti uccidere un animale, che fosse un insetto, un mammifero, un pesce, significava condividerne, all’istante, la stessa sorte, e perdere la vita nello stesso modo. Gli eventi di quel giorno sono ormai storia, e il mondo a suo modo si è adattato alla nuova normalità seguendo il Piano di Sopravvivenza, fra squadre di Arginatori, sacrifici al Dovere, punizioni al Ritmo Delta, isole fantasma e colonie di ribelli.
