extraídos de tres espectáculos que relatan historias completamente diferentes, tres acontecimientos vistos bajo una doble lente: el sexo y el gusto.El amor por la cocina, o buscado a través de ella. Un tema que une a la soñadora protagonista de "El velo de la novia y el alfabeto" en su atormentada Sicilia, a los excéntricos amantes de "Yo puedo, yo gozo" y al apasionado guerrero culinario de "Negro como el dolor". Protagonistas involuntarios de una relación - la del erotismo y la comida - que traspasa el tiempo y los lugares. Los relatos están acompañados por una escenografía teatral de la que nacen, adornados de esplendidas fotografías y de las ilustraciones de autor.Cigarros, Bolan E Estranhos Armados

toda la vida y amo la época de advenimiento de la Navidad y desempolvarles villancicos a mis viejos amigos. Tuve la ocurrencia de crear una antología mientras participaba en el Concierto Navideño de Diciembre de 2011 y me puse a trabajar en Enero de 2012 hasta hacerlo una realidad.Mucho del espíritu navideño tiene que ver con dar y servir a otros. Como tal, todo en esta antología, desde la edición, impresión y diseño de la pasta, hasta la misma redacción fue hecha con toda la bondad de los corazones de todos los que se involucraron en labor. La antología está acomodada al estilo de un "calendario de adviento", en el que hay una historia nueva para cada día de Diciembre hasta el día de la Navidad. Una historia particularmente larga se dividió en múltiples secciones para ser leída a lo largo de varios días.Las historias fueron contribuciones autores a lo ancho del país, y todas las ganancias de esta antología serán entregadas a la Sociedad Nacional de Síndrome Down, en honor a mi hijo, Bryson.Present at a Hanging and Other Ghost Stories
By Ambrose Bierce.
Ambrose Gwinnett Bierce (1842-1914) was an American editorialist, journalist, short-story writer and satirist, today best known for his The Devils…
Dictionary (1911). He wrote some of his books under the pseudonyms Dod Grile and J. Milton Sloluck. Bierces lucid, unsentimental style has kept him popular when many of his contemporaries have been consigned to oblivion. His dark, sardonic views and vehemence as a critic earned him the nickname, "Bitter Bierce. " Such was his reputation that it was said his judgment on any piece of prose or poetry could make or break a writers career. His short stories are considered among the best of the 19th century, providing a popular following based on his roots. He wrote realistically of the terrible things he had seen in the war in such stories as An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge, Killed at Resaca, and Chickamauga. His works include: The Fiends Delight (1873), Cobwebs from an Empty Skull (1874), Black Beetles in Amber (1892), Fantastic Fables (1899), Shapes of Clay (1903), A Son of the Gods, and A Horseman in the Sky (1907), Write It Right (1909) and A Cynic Looks at Life (1912).Saki (1870 -1916), was the pen name of the British author Hector Hugh Munro, whose witty and sometimes macabre stories…
satirised Edwardian society and culture. The name Saki is often thought to be a reference to the cupbearer in the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, a poem mentioned disparagingly by the eponymous character in Reginald on Christmas Presents. Saki is considered a master of the short story and is often compared to O. Henry and Dorothy Parker. His tales feature delicately drawn characters and finely judged narratives. In addition to his short stories, he also wrote several plays; a short novel, The Unbearable Bassington (1912); and two novella-length satires, the episodic The Westminster Alice and When William Came (1913).Noël Comme Vous Ne L'avez Jamais Lu

In these seven stories spanning the Midwest to California, Charles McLeod brings us characters estranged from their homelands and locked…
in conflict with their past and present selves. In "How to Start Your Own Midwestern Ghost Town," an unnamed narrator hatches a plan to capitalize on rural decay. A porn star trying to transition to the mainstream does an interview with a German reporter in "The Subject of Our First Issue Is Art." In the title story, a closeted heroin dealer follows a ghostly girl into an Oakland graveyard. And in "Rancho Brava," the conductor of a focus group about corporate salsa keeps getting interrupted by visitors from the Old West. Alternating between the comic, the tragic, and the neurotic--and often all three at once--McLeod's second collection transports readers from the American mainstream to the dark edges of cities and the heartland's lost, forgotten towns, into the lives of people trying to decipher if they can escape their pasts, and at what cost.Ecco Perchè Sono Lo Scrittore Di Soap Opera
