From “Rocket Summer” to “The Million-Year Picnic,” Ray Bradbury’s stories of the colonization of Mars form an eerie mesh of past and future. Written in the 1940s, the chronicles drip with nostalgic atmosphere--shady porches with tinkling pitchers of lemonade, grandfather clocks, chintz-covered sofas. But longing for this comfortable past proves dangerous in every way to Bradbury’s characters--the golden-eyed Martians as well as the humans. Starting in the far-flung future of 1999, expedition after expedition leaves Earth to investigate Mars. The Martians guard their mysteries well, but they are decimated by the diseases that arrive with the rockets. Colonists appear, most with ideas no more lofty than starting a hot-dog stand, and with no respect for the culture they’ve...

Amber has an odd talent (she’ll call it a curse). She can see—and sometimes communicate with— ghosts. Bored but resigned, Amber thinks she has finally found a good rhythm for her life – helping those in need by using her psychic-medium gift to find a missing family heirloom or speak to their ‘dearly departed’ Aunt Matilda. All with the help of her ghost assistant, of course. When a young man is murdered, everything changes for Amber. Her investigation leads her to Esteban, the tall, golden, easy-smiling Puerto Rican with ropy muscles and a twinkle in his eye. Esteban hears her story about the newspaper boy, and decides that – even with a crazy story like this one – he’ll go against his own rules of “no love, just dogs” for Amber. Amber and Esteban seem perfect...

Like many of Hardy’s novels, The Mayor of Casterbridge is set in the fictional county of Wessex in the mid 1800s. It begins with Michael Henchard, a young hay-trusser, drunk on rum, auctioning off his wife and baby daughter at a village fair. The next day, overcome with remorse, Henchard resolves to turn his life around. When we meet Henchard eighteen years later, temperance and hard work have made him wealthy and respectable. However, he cannot escape his past. His secret guilt, his pride, and his impulsive temper all serve to sabotage his good name.
