For This Week:

Lupie pulled back his eyelids ... and gasped in astonishment as she watched the completely white, film eyeballs -- the eyes of the dead -- transform suddenly back to the eyes of the living with a pair of pupils appearing like the dot that used to grow on old TV screens. The piercing monotone coming from the ECG screen next to the bed suddenly beeped back to peak-and-trough life.

From the story "Baby Homeless Broken Hearts Club" from the book Let Slip the Dogs of Love: Suburban Legends of the Living and the Dead by Eugene Kachmarsky

For This Week:

It was Mrs. Dashwood who acted first, even as the sailor's were still loading their blunderbusses and the coxswain was pulling the tarpaulin off the ship's cannon. She grasped a spare oar from it's rigging, snapped it in twain upon her knee with a swift motion, and plunged the sharp, broken point into the churning sea-piercing the gleaming, deep-set eye of the beast.

For This Week:

Finally they heaved him onto his bed and tried to make him drink water and pulled up the covers over his chest. It could have been the sheer domesticity of it - it was as if Eliot were their beloved son, whom they were lovingly tucking in for the night - or maybe it was just boredom, that powerful aphrodisiac, which had never been entirely out of sight even during the party's best moments, but if he was honest with himself Quentin had known for at least twenty minutes, even as they were wrestling Eliot down the hall, that he was going to take Janet's dress off as soon as he had half a chance.

For This Week:

Darkness has no effect upon my fancy; and a churchyard was to me merely the receptacle of bodies deprived of life, which from being the seat of beauty and strength, and had become food for the worm. Now I was led to examine the cause and progress of this decay, and forced to spend the days and nights in vaults and charnel-houses.

For This Week:

For a second, I just sat there, nearly convulsing with fear, my screams little more than rasps. Then that hand wrapped around my leg, cold bone biting in, scraps of ragged cloth brushing my bare skin.
