Cropsy by David Lee Veroux (64 Reviews)    Price verified 32 minutes ago

During Billy Powell's summer camp experiences he discovers a world of unimagined adventures, friendships, romance, and a horrifying secret. In this dual novel, as a past war between campers and a poor farmer escalates to tragic proportions, Billy battles his own demons in the form of raging hormones, cruel peers and counselors, and a terrifying camp legend that alters the course of his life. Excerpts: "The lead abductor jabbed the machete at each camper in an intimidating head count, then led us into the abyss, slashing at real and imagined forest undergrowth like a demonic safari guide. Treetops blocked the moonlight so effectively upon entering the jungle that we had to hold the shoulder of the person in front of us to keep from straying out of line. Descending the hill, essentially blind, the terrain I had once traversed in a panic was now foreign territory under my feet. The procession halted at some point, I estimated, close to the spring. We then continued, veering into the trees, I sensed, where I had once glimpsed a genuine phantom hovering in the shadows. Of all the places to explore at Aerie, this would have been my very last choice. Still, I had no option but to follow. The concept of breaking free and trying to find my way back to camp alone never entered my mind. We soon stumbled into a clearing, made visible by moonlight pouring in through a gap in the forest canopy. My eyes slowly adjusted, only to behold a dreadful sight. It could only be the ruins of Aerie's original pool. The large man-made oval contrasted appallingly with the dark earth surrounding its unearthly outline. Moonlight bounced off invisible water onto an ancient stone wall directly across from us, the reflections dancing a tragically slow waltz in time with the rhythm of serenading crickets. Dark stains and splotches of organic matter soiled the stone. It was as if we had traveled backward in time only to witness the decay of the future. In a state of pure awe, it ...

True Heart by Frank Altobelli (44 Reviews)    Price verified 3 hours ago

She would have given anything to be like the other Volsung girls; tall and fair. Her nickname, "Mouse" said it all. She was small and dark-haired, but the name did not tell of the scar on her cheek that seemed to disqualify her as a bride. Nor did it hint she was the best archer in the valley, and the only one not afraid to enter the dread Holberth Forest, haunt of shades and the demon, Az-Aziel. Mouse never told how she once saw the demon or that the trees spoke to her. For these things matter little; she was a girl. Courage and weapon skill did not figure in a man's choice of a wife. Certainly not in the case of Brandt, the Headman's handsome son and the boy she saw in her dreams. Her chance comes, when Brandt unexpectedly asks her to take him hunting in the Holbreth. But the day does not end as she hoped, or expected. Mouse becomes caught up in the perilous events of the wide world outside her sheltered valley when she and Brandt meet Orlean, Captain of the Guard, Reslou, Duke of Anjoun and the Shepherd, Vindelf. She agrees to lead the strangers across the mountain's spine; the quickest route to the Seamly Court, home of the reclusive Fae, but the path ahead leads through the cursed city of Kadem and the heart of Az-Aziel's forest realm. Only the Seamly Court offers security, yet hangs the fate of men on a single defining decision. Mouse must find the courage to risk all she has just gained to stand for what she believes is right. "True Heart" is the story of a young woman learning that her worth is not found in a man's superficial judgment of beauty, but in courage and character.

Dreams for Dead Bodies: Blackness, Labor, and the Corpus of American Detective Fiction (Class : Culture) by Miriam Michelle Robinson (University of Michigan Press) (1 Review)    Price verified 7 hours ago

Dreams for Dead Bodies: Blackness, Labor, and the Corpus of American Detective Fiction offers new arguments about the origins of detective fiction in the United States, tracing the lineage of the genre back to unexpected texts and uncovering how authors such as Edgar Allan Poe, Mark Twain, Pauline Hopkins, and Rudolph Fisher made use of the genre's puzzle-elements to explore the shifting dynamics of race and labor in America. The author constructs an interracial genealogy of detective fiction to create a nuanced picture of the ways that black and white authors appropriated and cultivated literary conventions that coalesced in a recognizable genre at the turn of the twentieth century. These authors tinkered with detective fiction's puzzle-elements to address a variety of historical contexts, including the exigencies of chattel slavery, the erosion of working-class solidarities by racial and ethnic competition, and accelerated mass production.Dreams for Dead Bodies demonstrates that nineteenth- and early twentieth-century American literature was broadly engaged with detective fiction, and that authors rehearsed and refined its formal elements in literary works typically relegated to the margins of the genre. By looking at these margins, the book argues, we can better understand the origins and cultural functions of American detective fiction.

Winner - Book Excellence Awards Finalist - American Book Festival Award Honorable Mention - New York Book Festival Awards Honorable Mention - Southern California Book Awards "A sexy, poignant gay love story about men from different sides of the wharf." -- KIRKUS. "The subtle intoxicant of The Light Reflected isn't beer or any other alcohol. It isn't even the flatly erotic and matter-of-factly described quick sex, either, but the charm of the telling, the enchanting straightforwardness of the teller, and yet too the shy, light flirt of suspense throughout. It is garnished with youthful tenderness and an almost tragic innocence that reminds us that we were all foolish and hopeless but also fiercely sensual and intrepid all at once." -- MICHAEL CARROLL, author of Stella Maris and Other Key West Stories. "An unflinching exploration of two flawed but well-meaning people -- one a dreamer who makes his dreams come true, and the other who lives on his fantasies, which don't often have a lot to do with reality. A really spectacular read." -- STEVE KLUGER, award-winning author of Almost Like Being in Love. What do you do when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams?

Framed: The New Woman Criminal in British Culture at the Fin de Siecle by Elizabeth Carolyn Miller (University of Michigan Press) Price verified 9 hours ago

Framed uses fin de siècle British crime narrative to pose a highly interesting question: why do female criminal characters tend to be alluring and appealing while fictional male criminals of the era are unsympathetic or even grotesque? In this elegantly argued study, Elizabeth Carolyn Miller addresses this question, examining popular literary and cinematic culture from roughly 1880 to 1914 to shed light on an otherwise overlooked social and cultural type: the conspicuously glamorous New Woman criminal. In so doing, she breaks with the many Foucauldian studies of crime to emphasize the genuinely subversive aspects of these popular female figures. Drawing on a rich body of archival material, Miller argues that the New Woman Criminal exploited iconic elements of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century commodity culture, including cosmetics and clothing, to fashion an illicit identity that enabled her to subvert legal authority in both the public and the private spheres. "This is a truly extraordinary argument, one that will forever alter our view of turn-of-the-century literary culture, and Miller has demonstrated it with an enrapturing series of readings of fictional and filmic criminal figures. In the process, she has filled a gap between feminist studies of the New Woman of the 1890s and more gender-neutral studies of early twentieth-century literary and social change. Her book offers an extraordinarily important new way to think about the changing shape of political culture at the turn of the century." ---John Kucich, Professor of English, Rutgers University "Given the intellectual adventurousness of these chapters, the rich material that the author has brought to bear, and its combination of archival depth and disciplinary range, any reader of this remarkable book will be amply rewarded." ---Jonathan Freedman, Professor of English and American Culture, University of Michigan Elizabeth Carolyn Miller is Assistant Professor of English at the University ...

So glad you are still Alive: Let them know before it is too late... by Lakshman Maaheshwary (1 Review)    Price verified 10 hours ago

Life is usually more eventful than some of the best works of fiction because while we may be able to concoct engaging narratives and pen them down adeptly, life throws at us unimaginable curveballs. Thus, I have come to become a huge fan of fictionalised reality. It has the luxury of fiction, built on the solid ground laid down by reality over a long duration. It delights, it scares, it imbibes hope, and it crushes when it deems appropriate; all the while staying in the realm of what can happen to any one of us because a version of it has already happened to one or more of us. This work falls under the same realm. It happened to many of us, maybe in bits and pieces. I have taken the liberty to string along many stories in a greater, broader narrative, so that you can relive not just bits of life but a substantial part of it. The characters, the narrator along with Natasha and Yuvi, however familiar they may seem, are fictional, a composite emotional sketch of myriad personalities, whose lives have inspired me to work on this story. Their passion and resilience give us all hope. The narrator, deeply in love with his college sweetheart Natasha plans for a perfect life for themselves. He has a close friend Yuvansh, with whom he shares his entire life. As life plays out, the plans start going haywire and while one distances away from the narrator, the other just falls out of his life. He continues to remake his life, till he is caught off guard once again, becoming prey to his narrowly constructed life view. To say that he learned his lesson will be a mistake, as the biggest life lesson is the fact that life keeps surprising you. All you can do is take the cues and keep yourself in sync with your own emotions. We look at life from a single perspective: our own. We make plans in life, expecting that everything will fall in place to suit our needs. It does, and at times, it doesn't. The interpretation of life events depends solely upon our narrative, and truth be ...

Favorite Son (The Provincetown Series Book 1) by Will Freshwater (179 Reviews)    Price verified 10 hours ago

"Freshwater's first foray will appeal to readers looking for romance rather than a literary exploration of sexuality." - KIRKUS "Will Freshwater's writing style thoroughly belies the fact that this is a first novel -- he tells his story with the measured hand of a seasoned pro. It's not easy coming up with a main character that you alternately want to root for AND to kick in the ass, but he pulls it off effortlessly. Oh, yeah -- in addition to making you want to run out and try something you've never had the guts to do before, Favorite Son is also so achingly romantic, you may be acutely embarrassed to find out what a cynic you're not." -- STEVE KLUGER, award-winning author of Almost Like Being in Love. "An engrossing read from start to finish. Favorite Son explores the concepts of duality, identity and self-discovery as John Wells leaves his political world in Washington DC for a quieter life in Provincetown. It's a familiar theme but with its sharp prose and multi-dimensional characters, this well-crafted story feels new all over again." -- CHRIS CORKUM, Lambda Literary Awards Finalist for XOXO Hayden. "Freshwater does what so few writers are able to do. Some have a great story and need a lesson in how to write. Some write beautifully but struggle with knowing how to craft a story. In Favorite Son, Will Freshwater does both." -- BRANDON WITT, author of Then the Stars Fall, The Imperfection of Swans, Son of Money. Born into a blue-collar family, John Wells beat the odds and came out a winner. As chief of staff to Patrick Donovan, a US senator and aspiring presidential candidate, he enjoys all the power and privilege of a DC insider.
