A Game of Ghosts
"The latest thriller in the Charlie Parker detective series, in which a private detective has vanished and Parker is hired to track him down"--
Strange Maine
Maine is well known as a land of fresh air and clean water, as the home of L.L. Bean and as one of the most popular camping and outdoor recreation destinations in the country. But what lies behind this idyllic facade? Unmapped roads. Whispering rocks. Deadening fog. Ghost pirates. Lonely islands. THINGS in the woods. This is the great state of Maine, home of Stephen King, land of the Great Northern Woods and all the mystery that lies within their dark footprint. What better setting than this for tales of strange creatures, murderers, madmen and eccentric hermits? From the "Headless Halloween of 1940" to the mystery of who lies in the grave of V.P. Coolidge; from Bigfoot sightings to the "witch's grave" in a Portland cemetery, writer and illustrator Michelle Souliere brings to life these strange-but-true tales from the Pine Tree State.
Box of Lies
Explore a world of treachery and terror. A crazy lady frets over pennies on the sidewalk. Men and women are forced to march for their daily bread. And the end of the world doesn't guarantee you a trip out. In this book of 27 disturbing tales, Maine author Mark LaFlamme questions everything. Who killed JFK? What are they hiding at Area 51? What really happened on 9/11 and where do we go when we die?
Stephen King's Maine
Much of Western Maine reads like a Stephen King novel. The dense dark woods and backcountry ponds. The century-old houses with gravel driveways and immense flower gardens, acres of farmland miles from a highway. Serpentine country roads dotted with farmstands, and picturesque main streets lined with battered pickups. Places where-especially during the dark and rainy days of October and November--things can get downright spooky. Author Sharon Kitchens identifies the locations that serve as the basis for King's fictional towns of Castle Rock, Jerusalem's Lot, Derry, and Haven. Drawing on historical materials and conversations with locals and people who know King, the author sheds light on daily life in places that would become the settings for Carrie, Salem's Lot, The Dead Zone, Cujo , IT , and 11/22/63 .
Permainan Hantu-Hantu (A Game of Ghosts)
Musim dingin kelam. Kegelapan tak berujung. Detektif swasta bernama Jaycob Eklund menghilang, dan Charlie Parker ditugaskan melacak jejaknya.

Dia sangat terobsesi melacak serangkaian pembunuhan dan orang-orang hilang yang terkait dengan laporan kemunculan hantu-hantu. Sekarang Parker akan ditarik masuk ke dalam dunia Eklund, di mana manusia tawar-menawar dengan malaikat, dan mereka yang bersalah maupun tak bersalah sama-sama menjadi bidak dalam permainan hantu-hantuÉ
Un gioco di fantasmi
Mentre era sulle tracce di un pericoloso gangster del Rhode Island, il detective privato Jaycob Eklund sembra essere scomparso nel nulla. Edgar Ross, agente speciale dell’FBI, affida a Charlie ‘Bird’ Parker il difficile incarico di rintracciarlo. Ross ha le sue ragioni per voler trovare Eklund: quest’ultimo, infatti, stava indagando in modo quasi ossessivo su una serie di misteriosi omicidi e sparizioni, riconducibili a un gruppo noto come la Confraternita. La particolarità delle indagini di Eklund è che ciascuno dei casi seguiti sembrerebbe collegato a storie di fantasmi. Nel corso delle sue ricerche Parker si ritrova risucchiato nel pericoloso mondo della malavita, un mondo in cui la vecchia e spietata Madre governa un impero criminale in cui innocenti e colpevoli sono pedine in un terrificante gioco di fantasmi. In una frenetica corsa contro il tempo, spetta a Charlie Parker scoprire cosa si nasconda dietro quelle misteriose e inquietanti uccisioni. L’ennesima indagine al cardiopalma per l’agente speciale Charlie Parker. Una storia torva e indecifrabile, in cui ogni certezza sembra vacillare.

Autistic Intelligence
Examines the diagnostic process to question how we understand autism as a category and to better recognize its intelligence and uncommon sense. As autism has become a widely prevalent diagnosis, we have grown increasingly desperate to understand it. Whether by placing baseless blame on vaccinations or seeking a genetic cause, Americans have struggled to understand what autism is and where it comes from. In Autistic Intelligence, Douglas Maynard and Jason Turowetz focus on a different origin of autism: the diagnostic process. By looking at how autism is diagnosed, they ask us to question the norms we use to measure autistic behavior against, why we understand autistic behavior as disordered, ...
