Book Description
The first volume of Little Books Series II is A Little Aqua Book of Creature Tales by David J. Schow! If you were a fan and collector of the original series of Little Books, you will definitely want these! From the author’s afterword: "There are a lot of strange references in this modest collection -- everything from second-run art moviehouses to VHS rental stores -- that will seem quaintly outdated to the modern reader. To me, in retrospect, the stories themselves seem almost wistful, romanticized but not nostalgic, since they were of their time and should not be tampered with to make them smell contemporary when they are not. Very little exploding-head splat aesthetic here. 'Monsters are what you’ll find; the old-school creatures, and a possible answer to the question: Well, what happened to them after?'" Included in this collection: "One for the Horrors" "Last Call for the Sons of Shock" "(Melodrama)" "Gills" "Murder" "The Incredibly Dinky Man" "Afterword: Thirty Years of Monsters"

Book Description
For more than sixty years, The Wall Street Journal has prided itself not just on its serious journalism, but also on the whimsical and arcane stories that amuse and delight its readers. In that regard, animal stories have proven to be the most beloved of all. Now, veteran Journal reporter and Page One editor Ken Wells gathers the finest, funniest, and most fascinating of these animal tales in one exceptional book. Here are lighthearted, witty stories of breakthroughs in goldfish surgery, the untiring efforts of British animal lovers who guide lovesick toads across dangerous motorways, and the quest to tame doggy anxieties by prescribing the human pacifier Prozac. Other pieces reflect on mankind's impact on the animal kingdom: a close-up look at the nascent fish-rights movement, the retirement of U.S. Air Force chimpanzees that once soared through space, and ongoing scientific efforts to defeat that most hardy enemy -- the cockroach. Each of these fifty-odd stories -- from the outlandish to the poignant -- exemplifies the superb feature writing that makes The Wall Street Journal one of America's best-written newspapers. This charming and utterly captivating collection will be a joy not only to animal lovers, but to all those who appreciate artful storytelling by writers who are obviously having a wonderful time spinning the tales.

Book Description
The Tomb kicks off the Repairman Jack series that Stephen King calls "one of the best all-out adventure stories I've read in years." Much to the chagrin of his girlfriend, Gia, Repairman Jack doesn't deal with appliances. He fixes situations—situations that too often land him in deadly danger. His latest fix is finding a stolen necklace which, unknown to him, is more than a simple piece of jewelry. Some might say it's cursed, others might call it blessed. The quest leads Jack to a rusty freighter on Manhattan's West Side docks. What he finds in its hold threatens his sanity and the city around him. But worst of all, it threatens Gia's daughter Vicky, the last surviving member of a bloodline marked for extinction. "One of the all-time great characters in one of the all-time great series." --Lee Child At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
