Book Description
HE was a gentleman tyrant who lived for his family-even the bastard he was forced to raise. YOU could have taken on the world with her by your side yet still you were discarded-the reek of your weakness doubtless overwhelming-and witnessing the pain she had caused only seemed to strengthen her resolve. I have always looked out for that neurotic wreck so it's a crying shame that he would rather lick his wounds in a town he despises than spend summer chasing fresh foreign flesh with his brother. More for me then, I suppose. THIS is a filthy narrative, a muddled confessional, a hate crime of passion. THIS is a darkly comic, unapologetically bitter dance between the hazards of a twisted Britain and a rose-tinted Denmark built with madness in mind-a place Englishmen needn't bring any demons of their own for there are crawling things enough, and crawl they will, ever closer. THIS is the tale of an island, two cities and the monsters we became or fell for.

ISBN: 1300988967

Languages : en
Pages : 128
Book Description
Within these pages are nothing more than my true experiences of love, chases, pursuits, crushes, and fallings. A small little pinch of poems and romantic sayings, ramblings, texts, and notes given, unappreciated, and innocent from a guy who is still currently looking for true love. Love blossoms so beautifully, the seasons the two of you share pass, and memories, trust and feelings should be invested upon, bonded and adhered, but sometimes those seasons pass and some new strange cold winds blow, sweeping whatever love you had...away. Love makes you fall for someone, like a leaf hewing down in slices, sure the swipes can keep it in the air, light and happy, but eventually, sometimes, that leaf hits the ground, and it leaves, love leaves sometimes.

The Monsters We Make
Author: Kali White
Publisher: Crooked Lane Books
ISBN: 1643853899
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
For fans of Rene Denfeld and Shari Lapena comes a rich, atmospheric family drama set in the 1980's following the disappearances of two paperboys from a small midwestern town. It's August 1984, and paperboy Christopher Stewart has gone missing. Hours later, twelve-year-old Sammy Cox hurries home from his own paper route, red-faced and out of breath, hiding a terrible secret. Crystal, Sammy's seventeen-year-old sister, is worried by the disappearance but she also sees opportunity: the Stewart case has echoes of an earlier unsolved disappearance of another boy, one town over. Crystal senses the makings of an award winning essay, one that could win her a scholarship - and a ticket out of their small Iowa town. Officer Dale Goodkind can't believe his bad luck: another town and another paperboy kidnapping. But this time he vows that it won't go unsolved. As the abductions set in motion an unpredictable chain of violent, devastating events touching each life in unexpected ways, Dale is forced to face his own demons. Told through interwoven perspectives--and based on the real-life Des Moines Register paperboy kidnappings in the early 1980's--The Monsters We Make deftly explores the effects of one crime exposing another and the secrets people keep hidden from friends, families, and sometimes, even themselves.
