In this book, eight stories written by Pedro Antonio de Alarcon have been brought together in English for the first time. The nail in "The Nail" is found driven into a disinterred skull, and if some of the events are implausible and others incredible, it is also true that there is considerable suspense and mystery. "The Cornet" draws more heavily on historical reality, with its depiction of the horror of civil war and factual detail. Noteworthy for its first-person narration and rapid-fire dialogue, "The Cornet" paints an episode of fraternal love and the power of the will. "The Orderly," although set against the same Carlist War background, has more to do with a military "attitude" than a Carlist "War", and describes the transformation effected in one officer by one orderly. The War of Independence (1808-14) was fought against Napoleon and his attempt to place his brother Joseph on the Spanish throne. After years of horrendous carnage and the Duke of Wellington's victory at Vitoria, the "Little Corporal" renounced the Spanish crown. The War of Independence stories - "The French Sympathizer" and "The Mayor of Lapeza"--Have been known to generations of Spanish readers, especially for their theme of patriotism. These two, together with "Long Live the Pope!" and "The Guardian Angel," extol the heroism and courage of the Spanish people. "The Foreigner," the story of a young Pole who had been conscripted into Napoleon's army, looks at Spain and two of her soldiers through the eyes of a Spanish muleteer.

The Collected Works of Johnny Heisenberg, includes: The Nail He just wanted to hang a poster on the office wall. He didn't even want the bloody poster, it was a stupid motivational print handed over at the end of an excruciatingly boring business meeting. All he needs is a nail, something to hammer it in with, and he can get on with some more important work. Like sloping off outside for a smoke. But things are never easy. He's not allowed to put nails in walls, that's something only the Maintenance Department can do. But then some walls contain electrical conduits, so he also needs a Health and Safety Assessment. And you can't get either of those things without first logging calls to the Service Desk. What should take a matter of seconds suddenly escalates into a very complicated series of problems. The Scar I noticed you staring at my neck. You've clearly noticed the thick red scar that runs right across my throat. Do you really want to know how it happened? Do you really want to hear about how my throat was slashed open? 'The Scar' explains how I came to be like this. It's a story about a depressed friend, a mental institution and a thin slip of a girl with wild eyes... and a steak knife. Nipperplep De Plidene A racist Professor resents the time he must spend delivering lectures to students he detests. After one such lecture, he is approached by a girl asking for help and rebuffs her in a very unpleasant fashion. She puts a curse on him. He then faces a race against time to write down the potentially world-changing 'Theory of Everything' before the curse takes effect. The Incredible Dog Shit Man Oscar and Lou move away from hellish suburbia, seeking a new life in the country. But it looks like they've swapped one set of problems for another, and the stress drives Oscar to breaking point. Lou must be the strong one. She must find a way to solve their new problems, and if that means a bit of killing then so be it...... Four tales of escalating madness. A couple of them have been out for a while and have garnered the following reviews: The Nail - Review by The Emperor (Top 500 Reviewer) I quite enjoyed this (very) short story. It brought a smile to my face on a few occasions and also brought back a few happy memories of Corporate Bureaucracy. There is some amusing and well observed dialogue. There is the odd typo and the writing style is slightly inconsistent but it didn't really spoil my enjoyment. I am very impressed by the cover! The Nail - Review by Ignite (Top 500 Reviewer) I really enjoyed this short story (although there were a few places where a proofreader would have improved it). The tale is of a man attempting to do something at work which seems so simple. Red tape, health and safety, line managers all conspire to make the task almost insurmountable. This was a good, entertaining story which raised many a smile. The Scar - Review by The Emperor (Top 500 Reviewer) This was an enjoyable twisted little story. Decently written, funny and quite disturbing. A quick read, but a good `un. The Scar - Review by Ignite (Top 500 Reviewer) This is an out and out horror story and is rather gross with it. It's written mainly in the form of a conversation in the pub between two old school friends who haven't met for ten years. It's very short and tells the story of how one of them received the scar across his throat. I found it a little schoolboyish in its relish for the unpleasant but it's rendered in a reasonable writing style. Worth a read - it will fill the gap between full novels.
