Story
Während eines Urlaubs auf dem Semmering freundet sich ein junger Baron mit dem 12jährigen Edgar an. Doch ihm geht es in erster Linie um die nähere Bekanntschaft mit dessen Mutter Mathilde, die ebenfalls nicht abgeneigt ist, sich auf eine Liebelei einzulassen. Die beiden ziehen sich immer mehr von Edgar zurück, was der Knabe nicht begreift und was ihn zusehends gegen die beiden Erwachsenen aufbringt.

Story
"Als Gregor Samsa eines Morgens aus unruhigen Träumen erwachte, fand er sich in seinem Bett zu einem ungeheuren Ungeziefer verwandelt." So beginnt Franz Kafkas Erzählung "Die Verwandlung" und schildert im Folgenden den vergeblichen Versuch von Gregor und dessen Familie, sich irgendwie mit der neuen Situation zu arrangieren. Was zunächst unter größten Entbehrungen gelingt, endet schließlich - je mehr Außenstehende in diese Katastrophe einbezogen werden - mit dem tragischen Tod Gregors.

Ein europäischer Forschungsreisender folgt der Einladung eines Offiziers, der Hinrichtung eines Verurteilten beizuwohnen. Dabei kommt eine Folter- und Tötungsmaschine zum Einsatz, deren Konstruktion darauf ausgerichtet ist, der jeweiligen Person auf grausame Art möglichst viele Schmerzen zuzufügen und die Stunden vor dem Tod zu einem makabren Belehrungsvorgang unbeschreiblicher Qualen glorifiziert, was der bedienende Offizier dieses grausamen Vollstreckungswerkzeuges als Humanität deklariert. Dem Wahn der Wahrheit seiner Vorstellungen verfallen, lässt sich der Offizier schließlich selber an die Maschine fesseln.

There has been much debate over how we got here, and what to do next, and bestselling author and social psychologist Jonathan Haidt is at the white-hot center of that discourse. Haidt has spent his career speaking wisdom and truth into the most difficult landscapes—communities polarized by politics and religion, campuses battling culture wars, and now the perfect storm contributing to a public health emergency for Gen Z.

Winter is coming. Such is the stern motto of House Stark, the northernmost of the fiefdoms that owe allegiance to King Robert Baratheon in far-off King's Landing. There Eddard Stark of Winterfell rules in Robert's name. Far to the north, behind the towering Wall, lie savage Wildings and worse - unnatural things relegated to myth during the centuries-long summer, but proving all too real and all too deadly in the turning of the season. Yet a more immediate threat lurks to the south, where Jon Arryn, the Hand of the King, has died under mysterious circumstances....

“You like it darker? Fine, so do I,” writes Stephen King in the afterword to this magnificent new collection of twelve stories that delve into the darker part of life—both metaphorical and literal. King has, for half a century, been a master of the form, and these stories, about fate, mortality, luck, and the folds in reality where anything can happen, are as rich and riveting as his novels, both weighty in theme and a huge pleasure to digest.
