伯尼销声匿迹了好一阵子，
哦不，应该说是改过从善的他经过一番努力，
终于让二手书店勉强达到收支平衡。
本以为日子会这么惬意的过下去，
然而他也遇到了绝大多数人都很头痛的问题－－物价飞涨。
新房东发出通知房租要涨价了，
而且是原来的十多倍。
悔过自新的贼似乎只剩下一个办法，
重操旧业的第一个晚上，
伯尼就遇到了一具尸体……

为什么大部分人一看到蛇就害怕，一看到日出就惊叹？为什么有些人对酒的口感非常挑剔，对气味非常敏感？其实人类对许多事物的偏好都是进化中自然选择的结果，从美感和喜好，到情绪中的喜怒哀乐，都能追溯到人类祖先的选择。
本书从进化生物学和认知神经科学的角度出发，分析人类的情绪、美感和对景观、声音、气味、植物与动物的喜好，是怎样与非洲草原上的祖先产生联系的。

恶意不是目的，而是手段；毁灭不是结束，而是开始。

【内容简介】
《她只说“是的”》共收录雪莉·杰克逊的16个短篇小说，除经典短篇《摸彩》外，大部分为首次译介的作品。有“超自然恐怖”（涉及鬼怪和异时空），也有日常生活里由于人性的恶意而导致的失控场景。
—————————————————————————————————
【编辑推荐】
✷ 无比敏锐地洞察人性中的恶意，让读者精确止步于恐惧漩涡的边缘。
✷ 角色常常无意识地陷入某种危险的失控状态，然后在失控状态中分裂和“黑化”。
✷将人心的细小缺口撕裂、扩大，静待人物命运急转直下，乃至全盘崩溃。
雪莉·杰克逊的写作有其恐怖、幽暗、残暴的一面，也有哥特小说惯常的冷峻、写实风格，但她并没有沉浸在惊异、怪诞中，她的作品有强烈的隐喻风格，更关注对历史与人性的解读。
-
雪莉•杰克逊说：“我一向热衷使用恐惧，抓住并理解它，让它产生效果，强化我害怕的一个画面，全盘接受，以此作为写作的起点。”她的小说一步步将你带到一个惊诧迷幻的境地，思维之殊异与超越变得越来越不可控。置身于生活的碎片中，挖掘其中的哥特元素。正因为她的故事基于生活，当我们的感知被完全唤醒后，莫名的恐惧悄然而至。

Life is hard enough for a teenage girl in 1950s suburbia without having a mother who may—or may not—be a witch. A single mother at that. Sure, she fits in with her starched dresses, string of pearls, and floral aprons. Then there are the hushed and mystical consultations with neighborhood women in distress. The unsavory, mysterious plants in the flower beds. The divined warning to steer clear of a boyfriend whose fate is certainly doomed. But as the daughter of this bewitching homemaker comes of age and her mother’s claims become more and more outlandish, she begins to question everything she once took for granted.

Eve, Justin, Susie, and Ed have been friends since they were teenagers. Now in their thirties, the four are as close as ever, Thursday pub trivia night is sacred, and Eve is still secretly in love with Ed. Maybe she should have moved on by now, but she can’t stop thinking about what could have been. And she knows Ed still thinks about it, too.
But then, in an instant, their lives are changed forever.
In the aftermath, Eve’s world is upended. As stunning secrets are revealed, she begins to wonder if she really knew her friends as well as she thought. And when someone from the past comes back into her life, Eve’s future veers in a surprising new direction...
They say every love story starts with a single moment. What if it was just last night?

Finally back in print, a frighteningly lucid feminist horror story about marriage
The Dry Heart begins and ends with the matter-of-fact pronouncement: “I shot him between the eyes.” As the tale―a plunge into the chilly waters of loneliness, desperation, and bitterness―proceeds, the narrator's murder of her flighty husband takes on a certain logical inevitability. Stripped of any preciousness or sentimentality, Natalia Ginzburg's writing here is white-hot, tempered by rage. She transforms the unhappy tale of an ordinary dull marriage into a rich psychological thriller that seems to beg the question: why don't more wives kill their husbands?

Perfect for fans of Samantha Irby and Trick Mirror, a funny, whip-smart collection of personal essays exploring the intersection of queerness, relationships, pop culture, the internet, and identity, introducing one of the most undeniably original new voices today.
Jill Gutowitz’s life—for better and worse—has always been on a collision course with pop culture. There’s the time the FBI showed up at her door because of something she tweeted about Game of Thrones. The pop songs that have been the soundtrack to the worst moments of her life. And of course, the pivotal day when Orange Is the New Black hit the airwaves and broke down the door to Jill’s own sexuality. In these honest examinations of identity, desire, and self-worth, Jill explores perhaps the most monumental cultural shift of our lifetimes: the mainstreaming of lesbian culture. Dusting off her own personal traumas and artifacts of her not-so-distant youth she examines how pop culture acts as a fun house mirror reflecting and refracting our values—always teaching, distracting, disappointing, and revealing us.
Girls Can Kiss Now is a fresh and intoxicating blend of personal stories, sharp observations, and laugh-out-loud humor. This timely collection of essays helps us make sense of our collective pop-culture past even as it points the way toward a joyous, uproarious, near—and very queer—future.

2015 Alex Award Recipient!Maren Yearly is a young woman who wants the same things we all do. She wants to be someone people admire and respect. She wants to be loved. But her secret, shameful needs have forced her into exile. She hates herself for the bad thing she does, for what it's done to her family and her sense of identity; for how it dictates her place in the world and how people see her--how they judge her. She didn't choose to be this way. Because Maren Yearly doesn't just break hearts, she devours them. Ever since her mother found Penny Wilson's eardrum in her mouth when Maren was just two years old, she knew life would never be normal for either of them. Love may come in many shapes and sizes, but for Maren, it always ends the same-with her hiding the evidence and her mother packing up the car. But when her mother abandons her the day after her sixteenth birthday, Maren goes looking for the father she has never known, and finds much more than she bargained for along the way. Faced with a world of fellow eaters, potential enemies, and the prospect of love, Maren realizes she isn't only looking for her father, she's looking for herself. Camille DeAngelis' Bones & All is an astonishingly original coming-of-age tale that is at once a gorgeously written horror story as well as a mesmerizing meditation on female power and sexuality.
