Somebody Else's Dream
2021 marks the 50th anniversary of the Billboard hit about cannibalism in a Pennsylvania coal mine. "Timothy," known as "the worst song ever recorded," was banned by major radio stations, while launching the careers of playwright Rupert Holmes, The Buoys, and Dakota. Their amazing story represents a cautionary tale of substance abuse, the pitfalls of fame, and the true price of the rock and roll fantasy.
The Death Proclamation of Generation X
Taking a hard, penetrating look at the despondent heart of darkness of the 1990s, The Death Proclamation of Generation X is a probing chronicle of America's thirteenth generation caught between the idealistic Baby Boomers and the well-financed Generation Y. Generation X was scapegoated and dismissed without the chance to prove themselves. Blending tenets of psychology, sociology, and cultural anthropology, author Maxim Furek offers a unique perspective to the post-modernist discourse by exploring the impact that personalities such as Andrew Wood, Kurt Cobain, Layne Staley, River Phoenix, Marilyn Manson, and Anna Nicole Smith left on that generation. Evaluating the psychological and sociologi...
The British Pop Dandy
Who are pop dandies? Why are stars like David Bowie, Jarvis Cocker, Pete Doherty and Robbie Williams so dandified? Taking up a wide range of British pop stars, Hawkins seeks to find out why so many have cast themselves in roles that often take style to absurd extremes. In this study, male pop artists are mapped against a cultural and historical background through a genealogy of personalities, such as Oscar Wilde, W.H. Auden, Andy Warhol, No Coward, Derek Jarmen, David Beckham and countless others. A critical analysis of issues and approaches to musical performance through masculinity becomes the focal point of this fascinating study. Ranging from the sixties to beyond the twentieth century, ...
The Evolution of Goth Culture

Governor of Do Son
This fictional novella is a lifelong story of the friendship between a sailor and a marine that starts in enemy territory of North Vietnam and ends with their funerals forty years later. It's a love story and a war story and it will make you feel proud to be an American. The story relates what life was like for military personnel in battle and after serving. It relates the pride of our veterans and highlights the pains and sacrifices they endured as very young men. It introduces religious conflicts with killing an enemy and not committing a mortal sin. The main character is a coward but is touched by the hand of God and becomes the most dangerous man in Nam. All he ever wanted to do was to lead a normal life with a wife and children. But God had different plans. The veterans of the Vietnam conflict were spit upon when they returned to the States. My story tries to show the respect they truly deserved.
Just Checking Scores
Marisa Burke is a top-rated, local anchorwoman at one of the most respected local ABC affiliates in the country. She enjoys celebrity status, six-figure salaries, a gorgeous home, and beautiful family. But rather than reporting the news, Marisa suddenly becomes the subject of it when her husband, an admired educator, the father of her two young girls, and the man she truly believed was her loving soulmate, was arrested for unlawful sexual relationships with underage boys. What was even more excruciating, Marisa was forced to endure the shame and embarrassment of anchoring the same newscasts in which the personally gut-wrenching news stories about her husband's charges were reported. Marisa Burke's shocking memoir, Just Checking Scores reveals what happens when a person at the top is brought down by public humiliation into a world of deep despair and what Burke did to channel her suffering and anguish into defiance and strength.
Sasquatch Central
I have been a Bigfoot researcher in the state of Minnesota for over 30 years, dedicated to the pursuit of a giant hairy upright walking manlike or apelike creature that keeps being encountered by scores of people year after year but has even more people scoffing and insisting that it can not and does not exist. What a surprise it was near the end of 2019 to find that there was a place in Minnesota a three hours' drive from my home in the city of Moorhead (sister city to Fargo, North Dakota) where there was reported to be a consistent and perhaps even permanent Bigfoot presence within a few square miles of private property. Hands down, it quickly became the single most intense Bigfoot case I have ever investigated. This is the story of my first-hand experiences, interviews with witnesses, and subsequent research that would follow from these encounters.
Ghosts of the Air
