Welcome to the Anthology of Strange Stories, a collection of the uncanny, the surreal, and the extraordinary. Set sail on perilous adventures through the South Seas in pursuit of legendary pearls, or grapple with untamed spirits and ancient customs in the Sumatra highlands. Unravel a web of eerie mysteries in the mansion of an eccentric artist, or face your deepest fears in the uncharted depths of Papua. Join a haunted journey into the dark corners of human desire and the chilling limits of scientific endeavor in the unforgiving Arctic wilderness.
Each story in this anthology is a journey into a new reality, where the lines blur between the natural and supernatural, the historical and fantastical, the human and the otherworldly. Delve into a world where beauty hides terror, where secrets lurk beneath the surface, and where the past and present intertwine in the most unexpected ways. From the shrouded corners of a small town to the icy expanses of the Arctic, from the untamed South Seas to the enigmatic allure of the San Francisco Bay, each tale is a unique exploration of mystery, love, greed, survival, and redemption.
These stories provide you with an invitation to traverse the boundaries of the known and unknown, to question reality as you know it, and to confront your deepest fears and desires. With each tale, you are transported into a different world, a different time, a different reality. From historical mysteries steeped in the supernatural to thrilling tales of science fiction, the Anthology of Strange Stories is your passport to the unimaginable.

Among the most celebrated and beloved novels of 2021, Anthony Doerr’s gorgeous third novel is a triumph of imagination and compassion, a soaring story about children on the cusp of adulthood in worlds in peril, who find resilience, hope—and a book. In Cloud Cuckoo Land, Doerr has created a magnificent tapestry of times and places that reflects our vast interconnectedness—with other species, with each other, with those who lived before us, and with those who will be here after we’re gone.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 4,914
In September 1960, John Steinbeck and his poodle, Charley, embarked on a journey across America, from small towns to growing cities to glorious wilderness oases. Travels with Charley is animated by Steinbeck’s attention to the specific details of the natural world and his sense of how the lives of people are intimately connected to the rhythms of nature—to weather, geography, the cycles of the seasons. His keen ear for the transactions among people is evident, too, as he records the interests and obsessions that preoccupy the Americans he encounters along the way.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 3,443
Bradbury's Mars is a place of hope, dreams, and metaphor - of crystal pillars and fossil seas - where a fine dust settles on the great, empty cities of a silently destroyed civilization. It is here the invaders have come to despoil and commercialize, to grow and to learn - first a trickle, then a torrent, rushing from a world with no future toward a promise of tomorrow. The Earthman conquers Mars...and then is conquered by it, lulled by dangerous lies of comfort and familiarity, and enchanted by the lingering glamour of an ancient, mysterious native race.

In a sprawling mansion filled with peculiar treasures, January Scaller is a curiosity herself. As the ward of the wealthy Mr. Locke, she feels little different from the artifacts that decorate the halls: carefully maintained, largely ignored, and utterly out of place. Then she finds a strange book. A book that carries the scent of other worlds and tells a tale of secret doors, of love, adventure, and danger. Each page turn reveals impossible truths about the world, and January discovers a story increasingly entwined with her own.

There is a book that is shrouded in mystery. Some even say it's a myth. Within its pages is a play - one that brings madness and despair to all who read it. It is the play of the King in Yellow, and it will haunt you for the rest of your days. The King in Yellow is a collection of stories interwoven loosely by the elements of the play, including the central figure himself.
