While visiting a friend of my wife who is going into a nursing home she mentioned the novel as something belonging to her mother that featured possibly four boys who were born with big eyes that were searching for each other. That is all that she remembered. What prompted this was my mentioning...

I vaguely remember watching either an episode or a movie during my childhood (sometime in the early 2010s I'm pretty sure) of a girl who receives a doll that looks like her. But shortly after, the doll starts doing mischievous things that the girl's mother blames the girl on. I remember specifica...

In terms of publication history (first instance in published media, rather than first instance for the character's perspective in a particular story), when was the very first time that Batman discovers the existence of something that's considered to be either paranormal or supernatural, and how d...

This is a short story I read on the Internet, probably Project Gutenberg, in the last 15 years. It's likely to be much older - '60s maybe. Humanity was at war with an alien race. The aliens had self-guiding space mines with some rudimentary intelligence, I think they were said to be organic. The ...

Recently, I remembered this book series I read as a kid, maybe 13 or 14 years ago. It wasn’t a children's books, maybe more like young-adult. I found a similar post on this forum from about 4 years ago, with no answer. It wouldn’t let me comment to ask if anyone had found anything, so I decided I...

Guy who loves pets gets reincarnated with them after dying in a fire but they turn into divine beasts

I vaguely remember a story (novel or series, sorry, I don't know) that I read in German in the late 1980s or early 1990s. The book was translated from English, though. It was about a thief who could use magic to exercise his "profession". He was an orphan (not sure about that, maybe he just ran a...

I saw this was a real long time ago- I'd say early-mid 80's though I suspect the cartoon itself was much older.

When she gets there, the boy opens a door and sees her with a suitcase full of luggage, he...

I am trying to locate this quote that I came across. I believe it was spoken by Aglaya (or Nastasya?) in The Idiot, but I'm having trouble locating it: “I want to talk about everything with at least one person as I talk about things with myself.” ― Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Idiot https://www.good...

I think this story was less than 10 pages long, and published in the Scithers' era of Asimovs. The main character, a scientist of some sort, I think, receives from a mysterious personage (I don't remember whether it was in person or a delivery) an immensely powerful device (possibly a duplicating...
