Category : Fiction

Pages : 690
Book Description
Utopia is slipping away. Teth is burning. Rebellion is exploding across the realm. Tartica is in chaos… all but for the Kingdom of Adelle under the tight grip of Chancellor Tomelai’s secret police—Druin Derr’s KCG. Governmental and religious leaders struggle to retain their hold on power while the Devil’s Blacksmith inches closer to Tartica’s ruination and Evidar’s salvation. As civilization crumbles all around him, Reyne’s soul mirrors Tartica’s downfall; forced to abandon his bride-to-be; his brother ripped from his life; sent on a quest he neither believes in nor wants any part of; and alone, joined only by a mysterious man he doesn’t trust. As Reyne prepares for an impossible transition through the Void to enter the dark realm of Evidar, he plots his own deception. But Evidar assassins are on his trail. They know he’s alive and they’re not only getting close, they’ve found him! With betrayal lurking in the shadows, Tartica’s future, Evidar’s salvation, and Reyne’s life, all hang in the balance. Reyne’s journey in the adult themed, dark, epic fantasy trilogy, The Utopia Falling Saga, continues in second book, Chaos Ascending: A Feast of Betrayal.

The MAD Files: Writers and Cartoonists on the Magazine that Warped America's Brain!
Author: David Mikics
Publisher: Library of America
ISBN: 1598537970
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 213
Book Description
Celebrate America's zaniest and most subversive magazine in 26 essays and comix from all-star contributors, including Roz Chast, Jonathan Lethem, and Grady Hendrix. Before SNL and the wise-guy sarcasm of Letterman and Colbert, before The Simpsons and online memes, there was . . . MAD. A mainstay of countless American childhoods, MAD magazine exploded onto the scene in the 1950s and gleefully thumbed its nose at all the postwar pieties. MAD became the zaniest, most subversive satire magazine ever to be sold on America’s newsstands, anticipating the spirit of underground comix and ’zines and influencing humor writing in movies, television, and the internet to this day. Edited by David Mikics, The MAD Files celebrates the magazine’s impact and the legacy of the Usual Gang of Idiots who transformed puerile punchlines and merciless mockery into an art form. 26 essays and comics present a varied, perceptive, and often very funny account of MAD’s significance, ranging from the cultural to the aesthetic to the personal. Art Spiegelman reflects on how he “couldn’t learn much about America from my refugee immigrant parents—but I learned all about it from MAD” Roz Chast remembers how the magazine was “love at first sight. . . . It was one of my first inklings that there were other people out there who found the world as ridiculous as I did.” David Hajdu and Grady Hendrix zero in on MAD’s hilarious movie spoofs Liel Leibovitz delves into the Jewishness behind the magazine’s humor and Rachel Shteir amplifies the often unsung contributions of MAD’s women artists. Several essays are admiring profiles of the individual creators that made MAD what it was: Mort Drucker, Harvey Kurtzman, Al Jaffee, Antonio Prohias, and Will Elder. For longtime fans and new readers alike, The MAD Files is an indispensable guide to America’s greatest satire magazine.

A Family of His Own
Author: Evelyn A. Crowe
Publisher: Harlequin
ISBN: 1459277988
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 219
Book Description
BESTSELLING AUTHOR The eagerly awaited spin-off to Fathers & Other Strangers! He's never met the woman he couldn't charm—until now! Jason Van der Bollen is—to put it bluntly—a womanizer. Dashing and delightful, yes. But still a womanizer. Lately, though, he's been thinking there's something missing in his life. Maybe that's why he moves back home to west Texas. After all, his brother's family is there…and the idea of family has suddenly become very appealing to the confirmed bachelor. His nephew claims Jason's been "bitten by that nesting impulse"—but what does an eleven-year-old know? Yet when Jason meets Laura Ghant, "nesting" or even "mating for life" doesn't seem such a bad idea. At least, not to Jason. Laura, on the other hand, wants nothing to do with him. Poetic justice?
