Download or read book Tales of Natural and Unnatural Catastrophes written by Patricia Highsmith. This book was released on 2011-11-08. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Short stories filled with “satire, mischief, and menace” by the author of The Talented Mr. Ripley (Harper’s Bazaar). These ten stories chronicle a world gone slightly mad, with dark, inventive takes on environmental degradation, apocalyptic disaster, political chaos, religious conservatism, and more. From a winner of both an O. Henry Award and a Silver Dagger Award, among other honors, and the author of Strangers on a Train, the basis for the classic Hitchcock film, this collection of short fiction is filled with “afterimages that will tremble—but stay—in our minds” (The New Yorker). “Whereas we read Stephen King or Ruth Rendell to relish the thrills that come from carefully controlled verbal terror, Highsmith is not to be taken so lightly. She conveys a firm, unshakable belief in the existence of evil—personal, psychological, and political. . . . The genius of Tales—and all of Highsmith’s writing—is that it is at once deeply disturbing and exhilarating.” —The Boston Phoenix “Combining the best features of the suspense genre with the best of existential fiction . . . The stories are fabulous, in all senses of that word.” —Paul Theroux

Book excerpt: A great danger awaits, concealed in the shadows… Doby is trapped. He’s trapped in Barlock, a repulsive city filled with natural disasters. Tornadoes and hurricanes frequently pound the city, with the last being a devastating flood that inundated Barlock. Doby would do anything to run away, even to stab a trusted friend in the back. Pico is trapped. She’s trapped with friends and family who despise her loud mouth and enemies who call themselves her friend. She would do everything to escape, even more so after her best friend runs away. After the devastating flood, they must recover together. But those “natural” disasters don’t seem so natural anymore. A puppet-master is secretly pulling the strings behind the scenes. And it’s only a matter of time before they pull a devastating chord.
