Synopsis

The true life story of a gunslinging, gambling moonshiner is recounted in this “cheerful, wild…rollicking biography” by the outlaw’s own nephew (Forward Reviews).Born to a Texas sharecropping family in 1904, Emmett Long soon fell in love with fast engines and fast living. An associate of legendary outlaws like Pretty Boy Floyd and Frank Nash, Emmett rose from poverty to infamy as a prodigious gambler, moonshiner, bank robber, and—on occasion—a killer of men. But he was not your average outlaw.From an early age, Emmett made his own rules—and he stuck to them, too. Instead of dying young in a blaze of guns and fury, he found Christianity, married a good woman, raised a family, and lived to a ripe age as a successful rancher. In a new twist to the classic Great Depression outlaw narrative, Asa Dunnington shares the life story of his uncle in Selectively Lawless.

    My Secret Life, the gargantuan erotic autobiography of a wealthy Victorian English gentleman has been described as 'the strangest book ever written'. Comprising one-hundred-and-eighty-four chapters and over one million words, the epic confessional describes in eloquent and explicit detail the exploits of a man (who refers to himself simply as 'Walter'), whose life was devoted to the pursuit of erotic adventure and carnal pleasure.
    
    Now for the first time in the history of this infamous erotic masterpiece, film composer Dominic Crawford Collins is producing a fully scored narration of the complete unabridged text. More 'audiofilm' than audiobook, each chapter and scene has its own unique musical accompaniment, reflecting the author's changing emotional landscape and offering the listener a truly immersive erotic audio experience.

    The Glugs of Gosh is a book of satirical verse written by Australian author C. J. Dennis, published by Angus & Robertson in 1917. The book's 13 poems are vignettes of life in a fictional kingdom called Gosh, inhabited by an arboreal race (that is to say, climbers) known as Glugs. Dennis describes the Glugs as a "stupid race of docile folk". Written in the style of children's nonsense poetry, the work attacks free trade, along with what Dennis saw as Australia's social conformity, intellectual cowardice and rampant bureaucracy.
