Digest: Ten Short Stories by Convicted & Plausible People-Eaters
I've tracked down ten authors who have, at some point, participated in the act of cannibalism. I've collected one short story from each writer and combined them here for your amusement and observation. Isaac Cone presents “Margaritaville”, Jimmy Buffet’s hit song reinterpreted as a southern gothic. Sandeyu Yamamoto writes “Antiquing” about a family with a rare type of OCD where they haunt the object they most obsessed over. John Doe submits “Jesus Christ Meets the Chupacabra” which is exactly what it sounds like. Arsenio Alonso adds “A Vacancy in Staffordshire” about a team of researchers hunting for black-eyed kids in the British wilderness. Greige Wagner contributes “Th...
The Legacy of Soviet Dissent
During the 1970s, dissidents like Sakharov and Solzhenitsyn dominated Western perceptions of the USSR, but were then quickly forgotten, as Gorbachev's reformers monopolised the spotlight. This book restores the dissidents to their rightful place in Russian history. Using a vast array of samizdat and published sources, it shows how ideas formulated in the dissident milieu clashed with the original programme of perestroika, and shaped the course of democratisation in post-Soviet Russia. Some of these ideas - such the dissidents' preoccupation with glasnost and legality, and their critique of revolutionary violence - became part of the agenda of Russia's democratic movement. But this book also demonstrates that dissidents played a crucial role in the rise of the new Russian radical nationalism. Both the friends and foes of Russian democracy have a dissident lineage.

The Mob Rules
"It is a strategic move in the game of life. As in chess, you sometimes must sacrifice certain things or take chances so you can get to your ultimate goal. The same goes for this. And I'm about to make that move."The hole left by the disappearance of the powerful gang led by Devin has been filled with the Black Cloud, a deadly group with deadly intentions. The strongest gang left, led by Brennon, must find a way to unravel the strange mysteries of the cloaked Black Cloud and defeat them to survive. But things go over his head, and soon enough, he must compensate for the effects that follow. Gang life has been revolutionized, and The Mob Rules is your ticket to the golden era of these gangs. Action from the heart of American cities to the far reaches of Siberia to the depths of the ocean await you-and you will discover whether the mob really does rule.
The Soviet Theater
In this monumental work, Laurence Senelick and Sergei Ostrovsky offer a panoramic history of Soviet theater from the Bolshevik Revolution to the eventual collapse of the USSR. Making use of more than eighty years’ worth of archival documentation, the authors celebrate in words and pictures a vital, living art form that remained innovative and exciting, growing, adapting, and flourishing despite harsh, often illogical pressures inflicted upon its creators by a totalitarian government. It is the first comprehensive analysis of the subject ever to be published in the English language.
