Pages : 177
Book Description
Veteran alternative cartoonist Jesse Reklaw, creator of the long-running weekly comic strip Slow Wave, delivers this tragicomic graphic memoir, his first long-form work. Presented as a series of comic novellas that together comprise a thoughtful, sometimes dark and often hilarious memoir about childhood, family, death, mental illness, sex and drug use, the entire book is told through cleverly inviting conceits like cat histories and card games. The graphic novel is told in five parts: In “Thirteen Cats” (featured in The Best American Comics), Reklaw discovers coping mechanisms that mimic his family pets; “Toys I Love” relates the author’s pre-pubescent brushes with deviant sexual activity, and the way innocence converges with real sexual trauma; “The Fred Robinson Story” tells the story of Reklaw’s period stalking perfect strangers; “The Stacked Deck,” in which hereditary influences towards criminal behavior, drug use and depression are explored via card games the author played with his family; and “Lessoned,” a family history of mental illness.

Book Description
In this standalone, Edgar-award winning author, Joe R. Lansdale, whom "few can match" (Booklist) beams a light on an East Texas town where a QAnon-style, evangelist cult is brewing trouble. Charlie Garner has a bad feeling. His ex-wife, Meg, has been missing for over a week and one quick peek into her home shows all her possessions packed up in boxes. Neighbors claim she’s running from bill collectors, but Charlie suspects something more sinister is afoot. Meg was last seen working at the local donut shop, a business run by a shadow group most refer to as ‘The Saucer People’; a space-age, evangelist cult who believe their compound to be the site of an extraterrestrial Second Coming. Along with his brother, Felix, and beautiful, randy journalist Amelia “Scrappy” Moon, Charlie uncovers strange and frightening details about the compound (read: a massive, doomsday storehouse of weapons, a leashed chimpanzee!) When the body of their key informer is found dead with his arms ripped out of their sockets, Charlie knows he’s in danger but remains dogged in his quest to rescue Meg. Brimming with colorful characters and Lansdale’s characteristic bounce, this rollicking crime novel examines the insidious rise of fringe groups and those under their sway with black comedy and glints of pathos.

Pages : 349
Book Description
Never in a million years did lean, muscled, competitive figure skater Garry Windsor imagine he’d sink this low—performing nightly in “Gold on Ice,” a glittery, gaudy, touring ice-skating show. Maybe if he hadn’t fallen on his adorable buns with each attempted quad jump during his one-shot Olympic program, he be beaming from a cereal box. Garry’s only consolation in the world of theme park tacky is his best friend and fellow skater Jay Logan. When the two aren’t gyrating on the ice, they’re scorching the sheets at every Motel 6 with their male fans, dreaming of rich husbands and life without the soulless frostbite of pro skating. When the troupe lands at a local rink in boring Clarksville, Missouri, the guys think they’ve hit an all-time low… until they meet a gorgeous eighteen-year-old fan of the first order: Tag Tempkin. Projecting a demeanor of sweet innocence, the novice skater shyly takes to the ice under Jay and Garry’s prodding and executes a dazzling, flawless performance. Impressed with his skating—and his spandex—Jay and Garry push their producer to add him to the show, while both men pursue him in bed where Tag demonstrates talents that could win him gold in a whole new category of competition. Faster than they can say Eve Harrington on steroids, Garry and Jay watch in horrified amazement as their protégé steps over their beautiful bodies and claws his way to the top. But this isn’t Garry and Jay’s first time at the ice-skating rodeo, and they have a thing or two to teach Miss Manipulation about getting even. Using everything and everyone at their disposal—from cheap tricks to some of the most gorgeously sculpted bait on the planet—Garry and Jay concoct a delicious plan of revenge that will pull the sequins off a certain skater’s goody-goody act and show the world All About Tag…

Narratology Beyond the Human
Author: David Herman
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 019085040X
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 417
Book Description
To what extent, and in what manner, do storytelling practices accommodate nonhuman subjects and their modalities of experience, and how can contemporary narrative study shed light on interspecies interactions and entanglements? In Narratology beyond the Human, David Herman addresses these questions through a cross-disciplinary approach to post-Darwinian narratives concerned with animals and human-animal relationships. Herman considers the enabling and constraining effects of different narrative media, examining a range of fictional and nonfictional texts disseminated in print, comics and graphic novels, and film. In focusing on techniques such as the use of animal narrators, alternation between human and nonhuman perspectives, the embedding of stories within stories, and others, the book explores how specific strategies for portraying nonhuman agents both emerge from and contribute to broader attitudes toward animal life. Herman argues that existing frameworks for narrative inquiry must be modified to take into account how stories are interwoven with cultural ontologies, or understandings of what sorts of beings populate the world and how they relate to humans. Showing how questions of narrative bear on ideas of species difference and assumptions about animal minds, Narratology beyond the Human underscores our inextricable interconnectedness with other forms of creatural life and suggests that stories can be used to resituate imaginaries of human action in a more-than-human world.
