The only thing worse than zombies... is surviving the road trip. Steve thought surviving Day One of the apocalypse was bad. He hadn’t tried crossing Florida yet.

With danger around every corner and sanity a luxury he can't afford, Steve has only one rule: survive ...

SUSPENSE STORIES TO KEEP YOU ON THE EDGE OF YOUR SEAT There is a peculiar allure of insidious characters—and especially assassins, hitmen, contract killers, and their ilk. Perhaps we find their uncomplicated moral codes and brutal efficiency appealing. These characters care little about ethics or morals—and perhaps that alone, that freedom from guilt, is exactly why we love them. Perhaps, deep down, we wish we could be like them. And perhaps, by reading stories with such characters, we can vicariously experience that thrill. PROPULSIVE, SUSPENSEFUL CRIME FICTIONWith this fascination ...

By bridging Marxism and deconstructionism, this essay proves how Orwell's 1984 parallels the modern-day complacency among Americans.

The Dolan Girls by S. R. Mallery has it all. Set in Nebraska during the 1800s, whorehouse madams, ladies of the night, a schoolmarm, a Pinkerton detective, a Shakespeare-quoting old coot, brutal outlaws, and a horse-wrangler fill out the cast of characters. Added to the mix are colorful descriptions of an 1856 land rush, Buffalo Bill and his Wild West Show, Annie Oakley, bank/train robberies, small town local politics, and, of course, romance. Two, in fact!
