Story
――ホントウの悪魔というものはこの世界に居るものか居ないものか――
――居るとすればその悪魔は、どのような姿をしてドンナ処に潜み隠れているものなのか――
――その悪魔はソモソモ如何なる因縁によって胎生しつつ、どのような栄養物を摂(と)って生長して行くものなのか――
――その害悪と冷笑とを逞ましくし行く手段は如何――
かような質問に対して躊躇せずに答え得る人間は、そう余計には居るまいと思う。然るに私はまだヤット二十歳になったばかしの青二才である。だから聖人でも哲学者でもない筈であるが、しかしこの問いに対しては明白に答え得る確信を持っている。
――ホントウの悪魔とは、自分を悪魔と思っていない人間を指して云うのである――自分では夢にも気付かないまんまに、他人の幸福や生命をあらゆる残忍な方法で否定しながら、平気の平左で白昼の大道を濶歩して行くものが、ホントウの悪魔でなければならぬ――
――だから本当の悪魔というものは誰の眼にも止まらないで存在しているのだ――
――そのような悪魔の現実社会に於ける生活とか、仕事とかいうものが如何に戦慄すべきものがあるかという事なぞも、滅多に考えられた事がないのだ――

Story
三太郎君が勉強に飽きて裏庭に出てみると、ジメジメした土の上にあかんぼの頭ぐらいの白い丸いものが見えます。それは一つの大きな卵で、その横の地面には、こう書いてありました。
……三太郎様へ……露子より
露子さんと三太郎君が初めて顔を見合ったのは、今年の春の初めでした。それは隣家に越してきた露子さんが、二階の窓からこちらを見下ろす視線と、勉強していた三太郎くんの視線とが、一瞬スレ違っただけでした。それから後、二人は毎日のように顔を合わせておりました。お互いに恋を感じていることを知りながらも、ウッカリ視線でも合うと、慌てて眼をそらして、家の中へ引っ込んでしまうのでした。そうしてトウトウニッコリし合う機会が一度もないうちに、別れなくてはならなくなったらしいのです。
三太郎君は、それから毎晩その卵を抱いて寝ました。三太郎君は卵が可愛ゆくなりました。こわさないようにソッと抱いて寝るのが、この上もない楽しみになって来ました。
そのうちに卵は次第に変化して来るようでした。中から聞こえる寝息と思っていた物音が、夜の更けるにつれて高まって、しまいにはウンウンという唸り声かと思われるようになりました。
三太郎君は気味がわるくなって来ました……

Story
露子さんは継子で、いつもお母さんからいじめられて泣いてばかりいました。露子さんは尋常の四年生でしたが、今年から女学校にはいりたいと思って、思い切ってお父さまやお母様に願って見たのですが、お母様がお聞きになりません。けれども露子さんは、女学校に這入りたくてはいりたくてたまりませんでした。床に就いてから涙がとめどなく出て寝られませんでした。
そのうちに近所が静かになると、露子さんは不図妙な音に気がつきました。雨戸の真中あたりと思う処から、「キキリココリ。ククリキキリ。フフリチチリ。リリリツツリ」と小さな音が面白く調子よく聞こえて来ます。見ると、その雨戸のさんの上に小さい小さい虫が一匹、洋服を着て眼鏡を掛けて、揺れ椅子に腰をかけて書物を読んでいます。今の音は虫が揺れ椅子をゆする音でした。
「あなたが毎日お母様の云い付けをよく聞いて働いておいでになる事は、私はよく存じています。キキリキキリ、チチリチチリチチリチチリ、あなたは最前から寝床の中で泣いておいでになったようですが、何かお困りになったような事はありませぬか」

Story
ある所にアア、サア、リイという三人の兄弟がありました。ある時、お父さんが、「今日は三人に一つずつオモチャを買ってやるから、何でもいいものを云ってみろ」と云われました。アアは何でも狙えばきっとあたる鉄砲、サアは何でも切れる刀、リイはどこでも見える遠眼鏡を欲しがりましたが、どれもむずかしくてだめでした。そのうえアアとサアは、危ないものを欲しがるものじゃない、と叱られてしまいました。
アアとサアは大変にくやしがって、その晩、兄弟三人が揃ってへやに寝ますと、リイを窓から外へひきずり出して、そのまま窓をしめて寝てしまいました。
リイは涙をポロポロこぼしながらお月様を見ておりますと、不意にうしろの方からシャガレた声で、「リイやリイや」と云う声がしました。ビックリしてふり向きますと、そこには顔色の青い、眼の玉の赤い、白髪のお婆さんが立っておりました。お婆さんはニコニコ笑いながら、外套の下から小さな黒い棒を出してリイに渡しました。そうしてリイの耳にシャガレた低い声でこういいました。
「この眼がね、眼にあてて 息つめて、アムと云え すきなとこ、見られるぞ。 このめがね、眼に当てて すきなとこ、のぞいたら 息つめて、マムと云え どこへでも、ゆかれるぞ」
リイはためしに黒い棒を片っ方の眼に当てて、向うの山の上のお月様をのぞいて、教わった通り、「アム」と云ってFailed to add items

「世の中に能ぐらい面白くないシン気臭い芸術はない。(略)鼻の詰まったようなイキンだ掛け声をしながら、間の抜けた拍子で鼓や太鼓をタタク。それに連れて煤すすけたお面を冠った、奇妙な着物を着た人間が、ノロマが蜘蛛くもの巣を取るような恰好でソロリソロリとホツキ歩くのだからトテモ退屈で見ていられない。」 ——でも、「たまらなくそそる」のだ! きちんと説明するからひとまず聞いてくれ・・・ 『ドグラ・マグラ』をはじめ怪奇談などを得意とした夢野久作が、外国人に、能とはなにかを教えるために書いた作品です。同時刊行の『風姿花伝』と併せて聞いてもらいたい作品です。『風姿花伝』が奥義書であるのに比して、本作は入門書にあたります。

Story
明治13年。井ノ口トシ子は、九州にて美人聡明な母と堅物の漢学者である父の間に生を受ける。手芸の名人であったトシ子の母は博多随一の富豪、柴田忠兵衛にその腕前をかられ、当時の名優、中村半太夫の舞台を元に押絵の制作を依頼される。出来上がった作品、「阿古屋の琴責め」は柴田忠兵衛の屋敷が見物人で溢れるほどの傑作であった。その評判は瞬く間に博多中を駆け回り、母による押絵作りはいつしか井ノ口家の家計を支えるほどになっていく。そして不思議なことに、幾枚も作られていく押絵のモデルは決まっていつも、美貌の娘トシ子の顔であった。時は過ぎ、明治24年。柴田は新たな押絵を依頼する。彼がそのモチーフにと届けた、大量の錦絵に描かれし「里見八犬伝」の一幕にトシ子が見つけたものは、自分と「瓜二つ」の犬塚信乃の姿であった。そうして完成した押絵は柴田により櫛田神社に奉納され、その評判を聞きつけた父親は喜び勇んで神社へと足を運ぶ。しかし、群集でごった返す妻の作った押絵の前で、彼はある噂を耳にしてしまう。美貌の娘トシ子と、押絵に描かれた稀代の名優中村半太夫が瓜二つであり、自身の妻がトシ子を孕んだ時期が、最初に作った「阿古屋の琴責め」のために観劇した舞台の時期と一致していたことを。堅物でお世辞にも色男とは呼べない父親はその足ですぐに帰宅し、妻と中村半太夫の不義密通を疑い問いただす。「どうぞ、お心のままに遊ばしませ。不義を致し

むかし、水晶のように美しい湖のふちにひとつの小さな村がありました。この村にルルとミミという兄妹が暮らしていました。村唯一の鐘造りであった父親は、音の出ない鐘を造ってしまったことを恥じて、湖へ身をなげてしまいました。ルルは父親に代わって新しい鐘を造りました。妹も村の人々も大喜びでその音を聞くのが楽しみでした。しかし鐘は鳴りませんでした。悲しみにくれたルルは、泣きつかれて眠る妹のミミを残して、父のように湖の底へ自ら沈んでいってしまいました。それから毎日ミミは湖のほとりで泣き続けていましたが、あるとき睡蓮の花がミミに向かっていいました。 花の鎖を作って湖の底にある真珠の御殿へ行きなさい。そこに住む女王様の所に兄はいます、と。ミミは花の鎖を作って、御殿を目指して湖の底へ沈んで行きました。

Sydney Shaw, like every single woman in New York, has terrible luck with dating. She’s seen it all: men who lie in their dating profile, men who stick her with the dinner bill, and worst of all, men who can't shut up about their mothers. But finally, she hits the jackpot. Her new boyfriend is utterly perfect. He's charming, handsome, and works as a doctor at a local hospital. Sydney is swept off her feet. Then the brutal murder of a young woman—the latest in a string of deaths across the coast—confounds police. The primary suspect? A mystery man who dates his victims before he kills them.

When Saeris comes face-to-face with Death himself, she inadvertently reopens a gateway between realms and is transported to a land of ice and snow. The Fae have always been the stuff of myth, of legend, of nightmares… but it turns out they're real.

Story
Trauma nurse Aly Cappellucci doesn’t need any more kinks. She likes the one she’s landed on just fine. To her, nothing could top the masked men she follows online. Unless one of those men was shirtless, heavily tattooed, and waiting for her in her bedroom. She dreams about being hunted by one in particular, of him chasing her down and doing deliciously dark things to her willing body. She never could have guessed that by sending one drunken text, those dreams would become her new reality.

Roshar is a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently that they have shaped ecology and civilization alike. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter. It has been centuries since the fall of the 10 consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor.
