Absolutely Amazing Weird Classics 1
This former publisher of Marvel Comics has searched back through his personal collection of out-of-print pulp magazines to create this anthology of classic weird tales. Sources for these gems include such beloved old pulps as Fanciful Tales, Fantastic Universe, and Weird Tales. (And as an Extra Bonus you'll receive a scary short story by that master of supernatural fiction, August Derleth.)
The Dark End of the Rainbow
Teenager Xandra Byrd plans one final drug drop to finance her budding skateboard career. High school principal Leah Davis returns to work after maternity leave, so stressed by the change in routine that she forgets her infant is in the car. Then both Xandra and the baby vanish. Now Detective Joe Zetts, whose own career is on the line, must solve the puzzle of the twin disappearances before the baby's mother is indicted for murder. This emotionally powerful tale examines the corrosive effect of keeping secrets and the healing power of love, uniting the protagonists in a race to save themselves from falling into the dark end of the rainbow.
Prize Winners
"The stories here are wonderfully inventive and affecting. They are a deep dive into the unconscious, using language that reminds me of Finnegan's Wake. I look forward to more great work from the author." -Peter Wycoff Prize winning short stories by a great gonzo writer. In addition to twice winning the prestigious Lorian Hemingway Short Story Competition, he's a trained psychologist and antique rug merchant -- a background as diverse as his stories, a genre he dubs "social science fiction."
Almost Havana
ÒPrepare to be astonished, prepare to be entertained. If you would know about the secrets of the human heart, its tragedies and triumphs, then read this remarkable collection of short stories by two brothers, Fred and Chris Belland. Ranging in locale from the U.S. to Europe, to Central America to Vietnam, each tale is beautifully crafted, each tale reveals something new and glorious and heartbreaking about the human condition. Read them and be dazzled.Ó - Evan H. Rhodes, The Prince of Central Park, An Army of Children This is like two books in one, two collections of short stories by two brothers writing independently of each other, but with a common thread. Here you will find stories about people and events in Florida and the Caribbean -- so close to Cuba they call it Almost Havana.
All Tangled Up
"Another cozy mystery from Marjory Sorrell Rockwell is as welcomed as another slice of watermelon pie. Enjoy!" —Martha Griswold, Online Critics Corner Those feisty ladies of Caruthers Corners -- Maddy, Bootsie, Cookie, and Lizzie -- are back again in another cozy mystery, this one about the Hoople Quadruplets, a madman who wants to poison the town, and a previously unknown mate to the Reconcilation Quilt, the most valuable quilt in the world. And there's a dead body or two. Can the Quilters Club, with the help of Maddy's grandchildren Aggie and N'yen, solve the mystery? You bet — with a number of surprising twists and turns. The little Indiana town's founding fathers would likely be rolling over in their graves!
Death Rattle, Book 2
"Shaken, not stirred takes on new meaning it this second installment in the modern-day western mystery series by Carl and Jane Bock. Their writing reflects solid knowledge of Arizona and its denizen. And their storytelling is as sharp as a serpent's tooth." —Nicolas Gilmartin Teranzi, Online Critics Corner There is a killer at large in the oak grasslands of southeastern Arizona whose weapon of choice is a deadly variety of southwestern rattlesnake. Deputy Sheriff Calvin Creede doesn't like snakes, but with the help of veteran herpetologist Dr. Hazel Smith and his fiancé, Maria Obregon, he seeks to find the mountain cave from which a collection of Mojave rattlesnakes recently was looted. Then he must determine which of a variety of suspects has taken them home. In this, the second installment of Arizona Borderland Mysteries, Carl and Jane Bock continue their story about a deputy sheriff in an isolated corner of Arizona's smallest county. It is a land once dominated by a few cowboys and their cattle, but Deputy Creede finds his job increasingly complicated by the trappings of southwestern exurbia, including vineyards, drugs, border tension, and high-end housing developments.
... Girls Who Wear Glasses
Dorothy Parker made that famous quote about men not making passes at girls who wear glasses — but long-time journalist Pam Paige has collected an eye-catching array of photographs to prove Parker wrong. Here are more than 90 full-color photographs of beautiful women, each proudly displaying her eyeglasses -- round, square, tinted, oversized, rimless, bifocal, even sunglasses that match the bikini. The photos are accompanied by numerous quotes about the allure of bespectacled women. If you're a gal who wears glasses, this is a tribute to your womanhood. If you're a guy, it will remind you of your admiration for the four-eyed opposite sex. Yep, Dorothy Parker got it wrong.
Someone Cares
"I'm hooked; I don't mind admitting it. I've read every book in Renee Kumor's River Bend Chronicles ...and feel like I'm a resident there, along with Lynn and Dusty and Sonny and the other inhabitants of the wonderful romance series." - Rosemary Mason, 123 for ME! Being a parent is filled with challenges. Through generations men and women have stumbled into success and failure as parents. Dusty spent his first four months as a stepfather, trying to find the right balance between discipline and friendship. After another fight with Jason, Dusty spends the evening in his office and hears about a fight in the park over his scanner. Jason and his friends were at the park! The detective rushes to ...
Father's Day
"Every now and then an author stands out for his sharp observations, crackling dialogue, and incisive storyline -- qualities found in Literature with a capital L. Gary Alexander approaches that capital letter." - Hollis George, editor and anthologist "Read it straight through. Couldn't put it down." - Hayes Brandwell, The Polemicist Post Like father, like son. Whoever coined that one had never heard of Joe and Stanley Buckley. Joe is a ne'er-do-well fugitive who tends bar in Belize. All he knows of the son he hasn't seen in years is that "he likes computers," the understatement of the year. Susan, Joe's ex and Stanley's mother pleads with him to come up to an Oregon beach to attend his son's upcoming wedding. Joe barely makes it in time for the nuptials and stays on through Father's Day a week later, raising havoc throughout. Father's Day is at once tender, suspenseful and comical, but not a recommended parenting guide.
