Sherlock Holmes’s “The Woman” from “A Scandal in Bohemia.) The plot rapidly thickens, though, and Ms. Miss Stoker and Miss Holmes are asked by Irene Adler to investigate the mysterious deaths and disappearances of several young ladies of high society. The premise is relatively straightforward. Unfortunately, although entertaining, the book never quite lived up to my expectations. Review:Īt first glance, The Clockwork Scarab has everything going for it: a interesting premise, mystery and mayhem, and not one but two potentially fantastic heroines. If Stoker and Holmes don’t unravel why the belles of London society are in such danger, they’ll become the next victims. Now fierce Evaline and logical Mina must resolve their rivalry, navigate the advances of not just one but three mysterious gentlemen, and solve murder with only one clue: a strange Egyptian scarab. And when two society girls go missing, there’s no one more qualified to investigate. But when you’re the sister of Bram and the niece of Sherlock, vampire hunting and mystery solving are in your blood. Evaline Stoker and Mina Holmes never meant to get into the family business.

Outdoor Life October 1936 Hunting Sporting Fishing Cowboy Cover art by Edgar Franklin Wittmack The Title “Brokeback Mountain” was published in the New Yorker in 1997, but came to most people’s attention in 2005 when it was adapted for screen and won critical acclaim. People In Hell Just Want A Drink Of Water I’m reading this story in what is now called Brokeback Mountain and Other Stories. You can no longer buy a Brokeback Mountain collection without being reminded that there is also a film adaptation. Annie Proulx’s short stories have the wordcount of short stories but the emotional resonance of epics. Or at least the soundtrack, cinematography and expert acting of a film. I mean, it’s so short, right? Normally you need the build-up of an entire novel to induce such strong reactions in readers. “Brokeback Mountain” is a heart-wrenching short story in part because of its density and one-sitting experience.

He innocently went from house to house to house (one made of straw, one of sticks, and one of bricks) asking to borrow a cup of sugar. Al Wolf was minding his own business, making his granny a cake, when he realized he was out of a key ingredient. Wolf explains it, the whole Big Bad Wolf thing was just a big misunderstanding. Did the story of the three little pigs ever seem slightly biased to you? All that huffing and puffing-could one wolf really be so unequivocally evil? Finally, we get to hear the rest of the story, "as told to author Jon Scieszka," straight from the wolf's mouth. |
