Summary

A collection of three horror novels by B.H. Newton, now available in one volume!
 
Chameleon: On Tricker Lake, Tennessee, the Barretts live an unorthodox life on a floating house that bridges old mountain magic and the American dream. Hank and Hennie raise three children in a life full of struggles and internal conflicts. As their story unfolds across decades and thousands of miles, a deep, dark tragedy threatens to engulf them and tear them apart.
 
Day Moon Howl: Marvin Spangler, an ill-equipped high school history teacher, is tasked with forming an auctioneering team to compete in a Tennessee state championship. Seeking a welcome diversion from his unfulfilling life, Marvin assembles a team of three very different individuals: the damaged prodigy Larry Jr., the obsessed jock Eric, and the disinterested beauty Helen. Together, they embark on a journey to achieve their dreams and conquer their nightmares.
 
The Alternator: For one young man, the choice between life and death is always decided by a simple code of chance taught to him by his mentor: a gruff truck driver named Petty. A savant trucker, he travels coast to coast, holding the fate of those he encounters in his hand while listening to the Top 40 Countdown. But as he navigates his way through 1990s America, he must ask himself: are the rules there to keep the natural order or to prevent his dark impulses from spiraling out of control? Peppered with dark humor, 'The Alternator' is a lean, mean read that will leave you with a wicked smile on your face.

    Even a good woman can be pushed too far....From best-selling author Tricia Stringer, this beautifully realised multi-generational family story looks at what happens when real-life betrayals and struggling relationships clash with outdated ideas of what a woman should be.Natalie King's life is full. Some might say too full. With her teaching job, a farm to run, three grown daughters who have not quite got a handle on things, a reserved husband, and a demanding mother-in-law, most days she is too busy to think about whether she is happy. But her life has meaning, doesn't it? After all, she is the one person everyone depends upon.But when an odd gift from her mother-in-law — an old book in the form of stern and outdated advice for young wives — surfaces again, it brings with it memories she thought she had buried deep. Has this insidious little book exerted some kind of hold over her? Could it be that in her attempts to be a loving wife and mother, she no longer knows who she is?On a day when it seems everyone is taking her for granted, and as the ghost of a past betrayal rises, it becomes clear that even this good mother and model wife can be pushed too far....

    “Laugh your cares away with Rose Madeline Mula, one of the Saturday Evening Post’s favorite humor writers.”  —Ted Kreiter, editor, Saturday Evening Post “Read this book sitting on the beach, relaxing in a bubble bath, commuting to work on the train, or vegging out on a Sunday afternoon.”  —Mary McHugh, author, How Not to Become a Crotchety Old Man “If laughter is the best medicine, you can throw away your prescriptions! This book will replace them all.”  —Joan Fontaine, actress, Jane Eyre (1944)  “[Rose’s] bubbling wit and humor will tickle your nose and your funny bone like the best vintage wine.”  —Russ Gorman, WOON talk show host  In her signature self-deprecating and hilarious style, humor essayist Rose Madeline Mula gripes about growing old. Her inability to stick with New Year’s resolutions, the mystery of her clothes shrinking to a smaller size with each passing season, and her susceptibility to infomercials are just a few of the problems pestering Mula. In this collection of comical compositions, readers can skip around from one laugh-out-loud essay to the next while enjoying the author’s endless wit and charm.  The animated author recalls the days before cars came equipped with electric windows, when pin boys frequented bowling alleys, and songs were composed with lovely lyrics that the listener could understand. While written with a mature audience in mind, women of all ages will enjoy this relatable book.

    You can be little. You can be old. You can be a lady. But you don’t have to be a little old lady!   We’ve all seen her, hunched forward, her hair tucked neatly under a plastic rain bonnet. She’s clutching expired coupons, or discussing her latest health problems over lunch. She’s a little old lady . . . and she's coming your way at 2 mph.    Little old ladies have elastic waistbands on all their slacks. They save rubber bands, remember fifteen-cent McDonald’s hamburgers, and have never seen a public rest room that was clean enough.  How Not to Become a Little Old Lady is for any woman who is proud to have escaped little old ladyhood—or those in danger of slipping into it. Lighthearted and affectionately funny, it also includes charming illustrations from Adrienne Hartman.
