"Ghost stories for the digital age by the Booker Prize-longlisted author of The Wall. In 2017, inspired in part by Henry James' "The Turn of the Screw," the acclaimed English novelist John Lanchester published a ghost story in The New Yorker. "Signal" was a sensation among readers and was featured on public radio-and it was the first short story of any kind Lanchester had ever written. Since then he's written several more eerie stories of contemporary life and the perils of technology that plunk the reader down in the uncanny world of The Twilight Zone or Black Mirror, and Reality and Other Stories gathers the best of them. A mysterious tall man haunts a country house in search of a cell signal; a translator at an academic conference starts hearing things over his headset that nobody should hear; a family discovers their dependence on the latest technological gadget goes to the very foundations of human relations; and the merry contestants in a reality TV show may actually be... somewhere very hellish indeed. Reality and Other Stories is a book of disquiet that captures the severe disconnection and distraction of our time"--

""Immortality"" by Loraine Boettner is a comprehensive exploration of the Christian belief in the afterlife. Boettner examines the concept of immortality from a biblical perspective, exploring what the Bible says about the nature of the soul, the resurrection of the dead, and the eternal life that awaits believers. He also discusses the various views on the afterlife that have been put forward by different theologians and philosophers throughout history, including the concept of purgatory, the idea of reincarnation, and the belief in annihilationism. Boettner's book is a thoughtful and engaging exploration of one of the most fundamental questions of human existence, and is sure to be of interest to anyone who is curious about what happens after we die.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
