Standard eBooks just released an eBook of Metropolis. It's free & legal. https://standardebooks.org/ebooks/thea-von-harbou/metropolis/the-readers-library
Set in a futuristic dystopian city, Metropolis revolves around the stark divide between the affluent ruling class, who reside in luxurious skyscrapers above ground, and the oppressed working class laboring in dismal conditions below. The city is run by the powerful Joh Fredersen, who oversees the vast industrial complex that sustains the city. The plot takes a dramatic turn when Joh Fredersen’s son, Freder, discovers the harsh reality of the workers’ plight and becomes determined to bridge the gap between the two classes.
As Freder delves deeper into the city’s secrets, he encounters Maria, a compassionate woman advocating for workers’ rights. The plot thickens as the city faces the impending threat of rebellion from the oppressed laborers. Joh Fredersen, driven by his desire to maintain control, enlists the help of the brilliant scientist Rotwang to develop a humanoid robot with Maria’s likeness. The robot is intended to manipulate and control the workers, escalating tensions and leading to a dramatic climax that explores themes of class struggle, technology, and the consequences of unchecked industrialization.
Metropolis was first serialized in the German magazine Das illustrierte Blatt in 1926 and published as a book by August Scherl Verlag that same year. Von Harbau also wrote the screenplay for the groundbreaking film of the same name directed by her husband, Fritz Lang. Both the novel and the film were developed simultaneously, with the screenplay closely following the narrative of the novel.

Slightly #noire #shortstory collections for readers who enjoy the inevitability of the Greek tragedy, but want some modern technical details of how a bad act can lead to a gruesome end. They are kindred spirits to "The Monkey's Paw" and "Final Destination" - a little bit Roald Dahl, a hint of Hitchcock, and a sprinkle of a coroner's report.

🇫🇷 🇨🇦 NEBULAR Recueil 15: L ’Alliance de Clebs
Épisodes 59 à 61
Avant-Propos: 10 juillet 2128
Quelques jours se sont écoulés depuis la rencontre avec l’Ambassadrice de Neurotim, et la renaissance inquiétante de Maya Ivanova en tant que clone créé par O’zeris et conditionné par l’ennemi inconnu venu d’Andromède a choqué tous les responsables de l’Union Solaire. Ce qui a été jusqu’à présent négligé au milieu de la confusion générale est l’éloignement du Génorant de son antique façon de faire. Si le géant à la peau verdâtre se voit déjà dans le rôle de futur régent de la Voie Lactée une fois l’Humanité éteinte, il semblerait que l’Ambassadrice se contente de propos plus modérés, montrant sa confiance en indiquant qu’un évènement dévastateur pour la galaxie se produira bientôt.
Les choses demeurent cependant peu claires puisque personne ne sait s’il s’agit là d’une ruse visant à déstabiliser un peu plus la situation en semant la confusion parmi les responsables de l’Union, un consensus existant néanmoins au niveau des états-majors sur le fait que, en aucun cas, Neurotim ne peut être considéré comme un interlocuteur digne de confiance.
Magda Arkroïd, qui pour sa part n’est au courant de rien de tout cela, s’impose une mission qui la touche par son côté émotionnel, et qui la mènera aux limites de ce qu’elle pourra supporter. Ce n’est pas la Guerre Éternelle qui la fait bouger, mais avant tout, ses craintes concernant son père et tous ses chers compagnons. Durant ces tristes jours, Amura sera son soutien, sa conseillère et son amie, tandis que durant sa quête des Archives de l’Éternité, elle découvrira que sa mission de sauvetage la ramènera inévitablement à une époque où d’autres pouvoirs que la Fraternité Galactique régnaient sur la Voie Lactée, l’un d’entre eux étant l ’Alliance de Clebs.

My newest story collection, available as paperback and #ebook
"In the brooding precincts of dark fiction, Byronic gangster John Shirley's writing is distinguished by swans and knives of style; divine menace. Twenty of his finest stories are gathered in this volume of poetic distress calls and whether horror, artful heresy, or a cosmos seeping bleak karma, Shirley's visions autopsy and awaken." - Richard Christian Matheson #horror #scifi
Somewhere far away, the improbable planet of Ardonna orbits its massive sun, along with three wayward moons, harboring an eclectic mix of life forms.
These are their tales.
