<p>Reading Never Whistle At Night edited by Shane Hawk and Theodore C. Van Alst Jr. I really have loved this book, I have a little over 100 pages left. The stories are amazing. </p><p>However, I do suggest not reading before going to sleep at night. I woke up this morning saying "what the motherfucking hell" after the dreams I had. </p><p>@bookstodon<br><a href="/tags/books/" rel="tag">#books</a> <a href="/tags/bookstodon/" rel="tag">#bookstodon</a></p>

Illustrated eBook cover for sale. Depicts a red dragon with green horns and eyes geaming in cold sunlight with its wing over an elf-man. Sunlight shows the patterns of its wing, and reflects on its curved horns, neck spikes, and long claws.

The elf man is pale, and has white, slightly curled short hair resting on his forehead and temples. The hair in a long braid that snakes down his shoulder to his exposed peck. The braid is tied with a silky white ribbon and it turns from white to pale red and finally turns entirely black at the end. His eyes are red, and his pointed ear is red and sunlight makes it look luminecent.
He is wearing green, buttoned trousers and nothing else. They are resting low on his hips. His abs are visible, as he holds the head of his dragon companion. He has tattoos all over his arms, around his navel, neck, decolte, and ear. He also has scars on his side, arm, and chest if you look closely. They have long since healed.

The background is of cold mountain ranges disappearing into a fog. The light is cold, and unyelding.

The yellow text overlays say:
Two hiisikoloART signatures, hiisikoloART watermarks, "author name" and "very cool title" on bold text. No AI label, illustrated typography! 100% human made original art!

Chekhov in 1889.

In the photograph, Chekhov appears as a young man in his late twenties. He is seated, facing slightly to the viewer's left but looking directly at the camera with a composed, thoughtful expression. His hair is neatly combed, and he has a short, trimmed beard and mustache that give him a scholarly appearance.

He is dressed formally in a dark suit with a high-collared white shirt, typical of late 19th-century Russian intellectuals.

(Left) The cover of Legacy of Newts, by Owen Tyme.

In the background dawn, as seen from space, above a blue world.

In the foreground is a line drawing of a red spotted newt, in white. The lines of the newt are outlined in black, to help it stand out. The interior of the line drawing has been filled with the image of a spiral galaxy in red, orange and yellow, with a blue color that shades to white at the center, which lines up with the newt's head. The galaxy almost looks like fire.

(Right) The background is a blue and orange nebula, with the following text over it:

“You gotta be real strong, real bright, real quick, or real lucky to survive drawing *attention*. Which are you?”

“I’m quick, Amelia is bright, Marta is strong and all three of us have been lucky, after a fashion: if we didn’t have bad luck, then I suppose we wouldn’t have any luck at all.”

Portrait of Niccolò Machiavelli by Santi di Tito.

In this classic Renaissance portrait by Santi di Tito, Niccolò Machiavelli is depicted in a half-length pose, turned slightly to his left but with his gaze directed outward, engaging the viewer with a calm and penetrating expression. His face is oval-shaped, with high cheekbones, a prominent nose, and tightly drawn lips.

He wears a dark, simple tunic with a high collar and red sleeves underneath

(Left) The cover of The Inverted Glass, by Owen Tyme.

The Background is a pink and purple nebula in space.

The foreground is largely line art, in white, with a black shadow outline.

At the center is an hourglass. The bottom has black sand, with a white figure standing in it. The top has is an inverted mirror image of the bottom, with a black figure in white sand.

The hourglass serves as the balance point for a set of scales, which hold a heart and a feather. The heart is on the left and the feather on the right. The heart is lower than the feather.

(Right) Lying in blue sand is a heart made of the same sand, full of cracks. It glows from the inside in a warm, yellow color. Over that is the following quote:

Nicole felt an extreme kind of loss, realizing she’d been stolen away from the afterlife, just before finding out if she deserved punishment or not!

“How dare you do this to me? Why?”

“I’m always in need of strong spirits and I’ve seen none stronger. You have unique talents I refuse to see go to waste.”

(Left) The cover of The Next Horizon, by Owen Tyme.

The black silhouette of a man and woman embracing. They stand atop the dark side of a planet or moon in space, which has a slim crescent along the right side. The background is the stars of space, but some have been highlighted with a heart shape that surrounds the couple. Everything is in shades of blue.

(Right) Deep space, displaying the edge of an orange and blue gaseous cloud from a nebula, while most of the stars appear golden in color. Floating in space is a square, red leather book with the image of a newt stamped on the cover. Over the top of everything is the following text:

“You can back down and cooperate, right now, or Marta will hit you so hard, you should reach a tenth the speed of light…”

“No one will ever find you again, but even if someone does, there’s no way they’ll have the capacity to safely slow you down, before you’re gone to them!”

Rabindranath with Einstein in 1930

UNESCO - UNESCO Gallery

In the image, Tagore, the Indian poet-philosopher and Nobel laureate in literature, stands beside Einstein, the renowned physicist and Nobel laureate in physics. Both are seen in thoughtful poses—Einstein with his characteristically wild hair and simple attire, and Tagore draped in traditional Indian robes with a composed, serene expression.

<p>"Cutter's Deep" is my personal favorite but if you like creepy and unsettling horror, you really can't go wrong with any book or story from Ronald McGillvray.
