The Right Club
The book opens with the assassination attempt of Steve Alden, a smart, successful and driven man. Haunted by the memories of a bleak childhood, Steve transforms his fear of never having enough into always getting what he wants: the beautiful wife, the big estate, the cutting-edge business. The last thing to cross off his list is entrance into the most exclusive club in town, the kind he saw pictures of in magazines at the doctors office when he was young. As Steve finally hobnobs with the best of societies best, he feels like it’s still not enough and what starts as the need to sit at the best table in the house ends in depravity, jealousy and rage. But who felt enough rage to actually want to kill him? Through the eyes of Steve’s wife, Barbara, we learn about the ladies at the ultra posh Upper Brookville Country Club; where they shopped, what they wore, their secrets, and where they sat at the clubs formal dinner dances was very important. We also learn about the journey that it takes to become a part of this Club.
Too Dangerous to Teach
Readers will laugh, cry and rage as Elizabeth Feinman, passionate about her job, her students and the issues of the day, tumbles from grace the more deeply involved she gets in trying to improve all three. Set in a junior-senior high school in the nineties, this story reveals what passes for standards and discipline and how a school administration, eager for national attention, can cook the books, shut down criticism, avoid critical evaluation and rid itself of whomever it cares to. The narrative, which spans four decades, touches on raising the mantel for women, introducing sports to girls and adapting to societal changes. It then follows a school district's efforts to rid itself of a thorn in its side. As Ms. Feinman stands up to career ending challenges, readers will no longer believe that teaching is easy; teachers don't care; top-down management improves what goes on in classrooms; tenure protects teachers; and that a strong professional association is unnecessary if teachers are good at what they do.
Terrors
Ranging from the mysterious to pulp action to the Lovecraftian, this vivid collection of short fiction explores a world of radio heroes, masterful villains, and creatures from places unknown.
The Hastur Cycle
The stories in this book evoke a tracery of evil rarely rivaled in horror writing. They represent the whole evolving trajectory of such notions as Hastur, the King in Yellow, Carcosa, the Yellow Sign, the Black Stone, Yuggoth, and the Lake of Hali. A succession of writers from Ambrose Bierce to Ramsey Campbell and Karl Edward Wagner have explored and embellished these concepts so that the sum of the tales has become an evocative tapestry of hypnotic dread and terror, a mythology distinct from yet overlapping the Cthulhu Mythos. Here for the first time is a comprehensive collection of all the relevant tales.
