Languages : en
Pages : 160
Book Description
In 1992 the first issue of Joe's appeared causing a sensation with its bold integration of art and fashion. The lavish presentation combined the eroticism of Bruce Weber's photos, the delicacy of Paul Cadmus drawings, and the ennui of the memoirs of actor Dirk Bogarde. Edited and published by fashion stylish extraordinaire Joe McKenna, the magazine re-defined style and quickly became a hard to find collectors item. After a very long wait Joe's is back again. This time contributors include Mario Sorrenti, Jurgen Teller, David Sims, Amy Spindler as well as new work by Bruce Weber and Steven Miesel. Joe says this issue will take a subversive view of fashion, so look out!

The Cemetery Boys
Author: Heather Brewer
Publisher: Harper Collins
ISBN: 0062307908
Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 157
Book Description
Part Hitchcock, part Hinton, this first-ever stand-alone novel from Heather Brewer, New York Times bestselling author of the acclaimed Chronicles of Vladimir Tod series, uses classic horror elements to tell a darkly funny coming-of-age story about the dangerous power of belief and the cost of blind loyalty that Kirkus Reviews called “a slick, spooky, chilling mystery.” When Stephen's dad says they're moving, Stephen knows it's pointless to argue. They're broke from paying Mom's hospital bills, and now the only option left is to live with Stephen's grandmother in Spencer, a backward small town that's like something out of The Twilight Zone. Population: 814. Stephen's summer starts looking up when he meets punk girl Cara and her charismatic twin brother, Devon. With Cara, he feels safe and understood—and yeah, okay, she's totally hot. In Devon and his group, he sees a chance at making real friends. Only, as the summer presses on, and harmless nights hanging out in the cemetery take a darker turn, Stephen starts to suspect that Devon is less a friend than a leader. And he might be leading them to a very sinister end. . . .
