Book Description
Seventeen saviors are born, destined to cleanse the world of evil, once and for all. Trebor Hayes is one of these divine souls whose destiny it is to fight the vile that surrounds all of us. As his life unfolds we bear witness to his sadistic mother, drunken father and a trip to the insane asylum where he first encounters the hell twins, Dr. Freemount and Simon Snapp. Freemount and Snapp, whose world is one of torture and perversion, are directed by Satan himself to kill Trebor. Part of Trebor's destiny is to gain possession of the Pennh, a device that would give him the power to destroy all evil in this world, something Freemount and Snapp would do all in their power to stop. This book is not for the young or the innocent; it is stark in its description and disturbing to say the least. However, it is entertaining and I am sure if read in its entirety will make you laugh, cry, gasp and moreover, leave you more unhealthy that when you turned its first page.

Book Description
"Originally a student of music, [Gurney] took up poetry in the trenches of the First World War, and was working on what would be his first volume of verse when, in 1917, he suffered wounds to the shoulder; and it was just before publication of this volume, Severn & Somme, that he was gassed at Passchendaele. After his return to Britain he resumed his musical studies, ... and quickly found outlets for his compositions. There is some debate about whether or not his subsequent mental illness was a consequence of the horrors and sufferings of the war; but mental illness marked the rest of his life, and indeed from about 1922 until his death he was institutionalised ... He nevertheless continued to produce poems and musical compositions in prolific fashion, and his works in both areas are read and performed, respectively, to this day"--

Book Description
This “delicious take on the one percent in our nation’s capital” (Town & Country) and clever combination of The Bonfire of the Vanities and The Nest explores what Washington, DC’s high society members do behind the closed doors of their stately homes. They are the families considered worthy of a listing in the exclusive Green Book—a discriminative diary created by the niece of Edith Roosevelt’s social secretary. Their aristocratic bloodlines are woven into the very fabric of Washington—generation after generation. Their old money and manner lurk through the cobblestone streets of Georgetown, Kalorama, and Capitol Hill. They only socialize within their inner circle, turning a blind eye to those who come and go on the political merry-go-round. These parents and their children live in gilded existences of power and privilege. But what they have failed to understand is that the world is changing. And when the family of one of their own is held hostage and brutally murdered, everything about their legacy is called into question in this unputdownable novel that “combines social satire with moral outrage to offer a masterfully crafted, absorbing read that can simply entertain on one level and provoke reasoned discourse on another” (Booklist, starred review).
