Famous Short Story

The Evil Dead franchise is known for its over-the-top horror and dark comedy. From Ash William's one-liners to intense scenes of blood and gore, the series has countless startling scenes. Since there are too many to definitively state which are the most shocking, especially with Evil Dead Rise releasing in 2023, we felt it only right to at least share our favorites. We've cultivated this list from what currently exists in its movie and television titles. Now, what do you say, kid? Let's drink some champagne, talk about some Kandarian Demon stuff, and get groovy! Ash vs. Linda Image via De Laurentiis Entertainment Group To be fair, Ash Williams ( Bruce Campbell ) kills his girlfriend a few times. First, at the end of Evil Dead , Linda ( Betsy Baker ) is possessed by a Deadite. This forces Ash to dismember her with a chainsaw, decapitate her via shovel, and bury her as respectfully as possible. It's an emotionally brutal and quick mo...

Anna Pineda runs an education business that helps scientists to be more productive and to improve their writing skills. Credit: Pilar Pineda Today is the end of the financial quarter, and I'm at my home office processing invoices for my accountant. In a few weeks, I'll hear how much value-added tax I need to pay for my business activities. Five years ago, I had no idea about any of this. I was a postdoctoral researcher at the Netherlands Institute of Ecology in Wageningen, pursuing a career path that ends with a professorship. I'd constantly be immersed in the struggles of data analysis, or anxiously awaiting a manuscript decision. Back then, I didn't look at the year in terms of financial quarters. Now, I run an education business, 'I focus and write', helping other scientists to improve their productivity and writing skills. It all started when I was failing to find a -tenure-track position. After wondering during my postdoctoral p...

Amy Lindgren I want to tell you about a career path that averages $78k in salary, requires no degree, can frequently be done from home, and for which thousands of open job postings can be found. But first, let me set the stage. Have you noticed how little information comes with most of your new tools and gadgets? More often than not, you open the box and then hunt for the accordion-folded page with the same three steps written six times in different languages. Sadly, the side that's written in English seems to have been Google-translated, leaving you to wonder how to "fate the knob" into the "slute." You can blame globalization for these slaughtered instructions, but I don't think the translations are the issue. Sometimes whatever instructions the company does provide are in perfect English – they just don't make sense. I'm thinking of my home thermostat that needed replacing last fall. A service tech came out from the HVAC company, determin...

Some of the most memorable fiction about sports centers on elite athletes with a penchant for the philosophical. They're the main players in Chad Harbach's "The Art of Fielding" (2011) and Don DeLillo's "End Zone" (1972), and also in Matthew Salesses's new novel, THE SENSE OF WONDER (243 pp., Little, Brown, $28). The book focuses on the fractious relationship between two New York Knicks teammates and the larger issues of race, class and fidelity that they — and the friends and lovers in their orbit — must reckon with. Won Lee, a Korean American point guard and one of this novel's two narrators, has the distinction of being the N.B.A.'s only Asian American player. "New York signed me as a marketing strategy," Won muses early in the book — but his career abruptly takes a turn for the better when the team's star player, Paul "Powerball!" Burton, injures his back and Won emerges as a formidable figure on the court. His ri...

This is one of a collection of stories that are like "Final Destination" meets "The Monkey's Paw" (W. W. Jacobs, 1902). As such, they are tragedies more than either mysteries or horror, and would appeal most to readers who enjoy the inexorable pull of a story arc that leads to doom. In each story, a protagonist makes a wish that comes true with fatal results for someone, often the person making the wish. Nothing supernatural, but just how things work out. (Or is it?) The technical details surrounding the fatal (or near-fatal) event are drawn from real cases in the US OSHA incident report database or similar sources and are therefore entirely realistic, even if seemingly outlandish. The plots draw lightly from cultural beliefs around actions such as pointing at someone with a stick or knife, wishing in front of a mirror, or stepping on a crack. Rose was a hot mess. She was witty, pretty, and bright, but she made choices and friends that would try the...

T hese are the questions that megastar Amitabh Bachchan has still not asked in his popular show Kaun Banega Crorepati . But if he did, he would surely get a lot of audience traction. Q1. Name a self help guidebook that cricketer Kapil Dev endorsed and then he began to be known by the name of this book?    Q2. Name the most commonly purchased guidebook by those appearing for UPSC interviews? The answer to these questions is embedded in this story. But let's begin at the beginning.  In the 1930s, when education was scarce , Moolchand Gupta was the first teenager in his village Kasan near present-day Gurgaon to complete his matriculation . With no access to further studies, he decided to turn his passion for books into his livelihood. It was a risky gamble because there were hardly any readers. Spending money on books was the last priority for the impoverished masses of pre-independence India. Moolchand started his first shop at Badsha...
