    From exploring an empty house with dreadful secrets to the account of an eccentric children’s ayah and from vengeful animals carrying a spirit to a bunch of anxious children in a stark landscape—these are some of the most interesting stories about the supernatural. Selected and compiled by Ruskin Bond, this collection includes stories by authors like Rudyard Kipling, Algernon Blackwood, R.L. Stevenson and Alice Perrin, among others.

    The stories include tales of strippers, of their husbands and lovers and the helpless, ill-placed desire that is shot out of their customers, of a rape by a man of another man at a peep show in Times Square, the victim wordlessly accepting what happens to him while watching a woman dance behind glass, of fucking a woman wearing a fur coat and feeling unexplainable rage at her disregard of animal life. The story ends with the character running away into the night with the coat, "as if an animal rescued." In "Invisible Fish," a night clerk in a mall pet store tortures the animals at night until the whole place stinks of fear and rage. Dumbfounded, the store owners blugeon to death a chimpanzee, the only animal in the store that can imagine capable of such atrocities.

    After a disastrous, loveless marriage and an emotionally neglected childhood, she packs her things and moves to a new house out in the desert to get away from it all and enjoy her freedom. Unfortunately, the occupants of the house next door have other ideas. As soon as Hayden Paterson spots her moving in, he takes over. Next she meets his stepbrother Jake, a cop who takes her safety far more seriously than Baylor does herself. The last thing Baylor wants is to get into another relationship, but the Paterson brothers rescue people for a living, and from the moment they clap eyes on her, they label the 23 year old a damsel in distress. Not only do they do everything in their power to protect, nurture and guide her, but they also enlist the help of their longtime friends and roommates; Terry and Matt. Hayden and Jake come together to woo her to become a part of their unique family. To them, she is an adult little girl in need of the love, caring, nurturing—and yes, discipline—that only two ‘Daddies’ can provide. To the independent Baylor, the assumption that she is in dire need of ‘Daddycare’ seems not only strange, but completely opposed to the self-sufficiency she thought she wanted. As well as her new Daddy Hayden and Daddy Jake, Baylor also finds herself in the care of ‘Uncle’ Terry, a retired medic. He's the burly, protective ‘house mom’ and ‘doctor’, who is not only thrilled to have a little girl to care for, but likes to take control of Baylor’s health in ways that she preferred he did not. Then there is Matt, the resident ‘hippie’, who quickly becomes Baylor’s adoring ‘big brother’ and helps her devise ways to get into mischief... which frequently lands her over the lap of one of her new daddies. Basking in the loving embrace of these four men, Baylor’s inner child emerges, and under their sometimes stern, but always loving, care, she not only discovers her ability to play and laugh, she also begins to trust and feel loved. She also learns that a bottom bared for punishment can experience intense pleasure when used in ‘special’ ways by one—or both—of her two men. Despite her happiness, Baylor continues to struggle with allowing herself to fully submit. Is this lifestyle, the one of a Little girl with two Daddies, an Uncle and a Big Brother, right for her? Will she be able to leave behind her loveless, uncaring past and allow her heart to be moved to permanently reside within the arms and home of these very special men? From the best-selling pen of Breanna Hayse comes this, a unique, sweet and scorching hot tale of a lucky girl who finds four men to care for her in different ways; all of them loving. Moving A Little Heart contains age-play, spanking, anal and medical play, and ménage scenes, as well as polyamory. If such material offends you, please do not buy this book.
