ReejecttIIon - a number two by Daniel Clausen (23 Reviews)    Price verified 3 hours ago

By reading ReejecttIIon, it's likely you'll discover: colorful short stories, funny flash fiction, hilarious cartoons, riveting reviews, wondrous anagrams and other assorted skits and titbits of under-achieving literary genius. If you're lucky, you might come across sci-fi tales about the privatization of words, horror stories about hair and ruminations on indie writing. It's also possible that you'll find commentary on the hazards of greedy literary agents and stories about washed up movie directors who receive financial backing from space aliens. Publisher's Meekly calls it: "a thought-provoking fable about technological hubris and the hazards of bioengineering." (*This may or may not be referring to Jurassic Park and not ReejecttIIon.) Reader's Indigestion says: "this book quietly stands as one of the most powerful statements of the Civil Rights movement." (*This may or may not actually refer to To Kill a Mockingbird and not ReejecttIIon.) But why not read this seriously comical scattergun book and see what you can discover about ReejecttIIon for yourself?

War and Peace in Dodge by David Kurtz (New Brevet Publications) (2 Reviews)    Price verified 5 hours ago

Middle America, the 1940s: a war begins and rages. Young Johnny Smith sees it all, from the opening salvos to the dramatic, explosive conclusion, the biggest family feud ever to hit the small town of Dodge. It splits apart not only a family, but a whole community, dividing east and west. As Johnny eagerly engages his nefarious double-aunt godmother Aunt Hilde, whom he labels "AH," (and who, he swears, has a mustache, small, squarish and black) under the auspices of first his Aunt Winnie, then his Uncle Frank and finally his own dad Harry, the stakes rise higher and higher. The war is for the unity of the family, and then the leadership of the town, with consequences far beyond, leading Johnny to search for hope and wonder whether or not they would even survive the darkness of those days. From the first Blitzkrieg to the Battle of Britain and Pearl Harbor, to the great responses of Operation Torch and Normandy, culminating in the Battle of the Bulge and the dropping of The Bomb, and more, the whole war of the family feud is seen and experienced by Johnny. While it parallels something far more historic and well-known, to 11-year-old Johnny it is home and family, so it is everything.
