Not all fates are created equal... Kenji’s only dream in life is to become a great rebirther like his father. But with no talent for the mystic arts, the age-old tradition of cultivating essence by returning things to their newborn state, to grow a second and third time, is far beyond his grasp. Worse still, he is yet to be rebirthed himself and stands a dullard of a giant among his diminutive peers.

This work explores the rhetorical and stylistic power of grammar. Grammar is taught to advanced writers in order to make grammatical choices to their creative advantage. The text serves as an advanced grammar handbook and as a more conceptual guide to style. The open-ended exercises give students practice in making grammatical decisions and understanding their rhetorical consequences. The exercises also ask students to work on their own sentences and to look at those sentences in relation to the larger context and communicative power of their written work.

The Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest is a tongue-in-cheek contest that takes place annually where entrants are invited to compose the opening sentence to the worst of all possible novels. Attracting up to 10,000 entries every year, the competition spawns an embarrassment of dire fiction that is both horrifying and hilarious to read. It Was a Dark and Stormy Night collects and presents the worst of this bad fiction in one stunningly awful collection.

Once a brilliant scientist, Griffin has been gradually consumed by his research. When he finally achieves his goal-becoming completely invisible-the final result is his departure from humanity. He feels no remorse in using his invisibility to gratify his increasing desires. As he gradually loses his mind, it is hard to determine if it is a result of his chemical concoction or a simple continuation of his moral decline. At a time when science fiction was depicting what wonders the future would bring, H. G. Wells was one of the first writers to explore the dark side of science and to portray how easily mortal man can be corrupted when tempted by seemingly unlimited power. First published in 1897, The Invisible Man helped establish H. G. Wells as one of the first and best writers of science fiction. Notable for its sheer invention, suspense, and psychological nuance, The Invisible Man continues to enthrall science fiction fans today.
