Par Christopher Bunn, Gabriela Fuenzalida. 2015
ROSAMONDE Quizá les es familiar la historia de la Bella Durmiente, por mi parte, siempre la he creído aburrida, así…
como el resto de los cuentos; ha sido relatada de muy diferentes maneras: algunas malas, algunas pasables y otras simplemente horribles. Ustedes ya saben de qué se trata: al enterarse de que no la invitan al bautizo de la recién nacida hija de los reyes, la malvada bruja se enfada y la pone bajo un conjuro mil veces peor que el agravio. Luego de crecer y llegar a ser insoportablemente bella, un día se pincha el dedo con una rueca y cae dormida por miles de años... hasta que con un dulce beso un guapo príncipe la despierta y rompe el hechizo. Ellos viven felices por siempre, hasta que mueren de viejos. Aunque en esta historia no se habla ni de viejos ni de muerte, porque la gente no gusta mucho de leer acerca de gente vieja que muere. De todos modos, aquella historia es una sarta de mentiras, lo sé muy bien, porque la historia de la Bella Durmiente se basó en mi historia.Rosamunda. La vera storia della Bella Addormentata

Par Adam Roberts. 2005
A long time ago in galaxy far, far away a really quite good SF film, a sort of western in…
space, was launched. The special effects were pretty shoddy but it did have some quite good actors in it. And Mark Hammill. A second and third film that were actually the fifth and sixth films followed and they weren't quite so good but they were still quite fun (especially when the teddies got blasted by the Imperial stormtroopers). Then, the first, second and third films followed and they were actually fairly dreadful though by now the special effects were much better. And the actors were still better than average too. And Mark Hammill was too old to be in it plus his character hadn't been born yet so that was OK.A Gollancz parody was inevitable. And here it is. An epic told in six chapters. An epic of good versus evil. Of dark versus light. Of hairy co-pilots and green gurus. Of bizarre hair styles, steel bras and camp robots. An epic that starts in the middle. And that's the original!Esta oficina me mata

Par Rita Mae Brown. 2018
Rita Mae Brown and her feline co-author Sneaky Pie Brown return to Albemarle County, Virgina, as tangled mysteries past and…
present converge in the bestselling Mrs. Murphy series. “As feline collaborators go, you couldn’t ask for better than Sneaky Pie Brown.”—The New York Times Book Review With the New Year just around the corner, winter has transformed the cozy Blue Ridge Mountain community of Crozet, Virginia, into a living snow globe. It’s the perfect setting for Mary Minor “Harry” Haristeen to build a new work shed designed by her dear friend, local architect Gary Gardner. But the natural serenity is shattered when out of the blue, right in front of Harry and Deputy Cynthia Cooper, and in broad daylight, Gary is shot to death by a masked motorcyclist. Outraged by the brazen murder, Harry begins to burrow into her friend’s past—and unearths a pattern of destructive greed reaching far back into Virginia’s post-Revolutionary history. When Harry finds incriminating evidence, the killer strikes again. Heedless of her own safety, Harry follows a trail of clues to a construction site in Richmond, where the discovery of mysterious remains has recently halted work. Aided as always by her loyal, if opinionated, companions, crime-solving cats Mrs. Murphy and Pewter, and Tee Tucker the Corgi, Harry hunts for a link between the decades-old dead, the recently violently deceased—and ancient secrets that underlie everything. And while other deaths are narrowly averted in a flurry of fur, the killer remains at large—ever more desperate and dangerous. The deep-rooted legacy of corruption that’s been exposed can never be buried again. But if Harry keeps pursuing the terrible truth, she may be digging her own grave.Tales from the Brothers Grimm and the Sisters Weird
