Sinossi

In "Carter, and Other People," Don Marquis crafts a unique anthology that combines humor and poignant social commentary through a series of whimsical narratives. The book introduces readers to an assortment of characters, framed by Marquis's signature blend of satire and whimsical storytelling, reflective of the early 20th-century American literary tradition. With influence from modernist theories of identity and experience, Marquis deftly explores human eccentricities and societal norms, examining themes of individuality, morality, and the absurdity of life in a rapidly changing world. Don Marquis, a prominent figure in the early American literary landscape, was celebrated not only for his wit but also for his profound observations on human nature and society. His experiences as a newspaper columnist and playwright informed his sharp critique of contemporary issues, and his creation of beloved characters like Archy the cockroach speaks to his inventive spirit. In "Carter, and Other People," Marquis employs humor as a lens to confront serious themes, drawing from his own life experiences and observations of the social dynamics around him. Readers who appreciate clever narratives intertwined with social critique will find "Carter, and Other People" to be an engaging exploration of human complexity. Marquis's ability to blend the absurd with the earnest invites readers to reflect on their own lives and the world surrounding them. This collection is not only a testament to his stylistic genius but also a timeless reminder of the quirks that define humanity.

    In the tiny European country of Tantalia, Princess Niobe is being groomed to ascend to the throne. What her people don’t know is that from the age of sixteen, the Princess has been trained by her martial arts instructor, Gethan, to kill the businessman responsible for her parent’s deaths. Once Queen, she will have ‘sovereign immunity’ and be free to kill without the risk of arrest. 
    Niobe strikes, but unbeknownst to her, one of her kills is caught on camera and she is identified as the assassin. Her people, however, seem accepting of the idea and of their Queen’s unconventional activities. Then a TV producer comes to her with a novel idea – how about a reality tv show about her next kill? 
    Safe in the knowledge she can’t be prosecuted Niobe contemplates the offer... but there are more questions than answers... for a start – how will the world respond to a sovereign assassin? 
    Sovereign Assassin is a rollicking romp of a story, fresh from the mind of speculative fiction/fantasy author Robert New, and promises to entertain, intrigue, and fascinate from beginning to end. 
    "Original, interesting, entertaining, and exceptionally well written, Sovereign Assassin by talented novelist Robert New is a simply riveting read and an especially and unreservedly recommended pick." - Midwest Book Review (October 2023) 
    "A thrilling, fast-paced book...run through with a seam of genuinely deep philosophy." - Read Freely

    All dick is not the same! Some are long, and some are short. Some are skinny, some are girthy, some curve, and some have extra skin covering the head. I can repeatedly list countless differences we hear about through comedians, influencers, personalities, and radio and talk show hosts. You see women discussing it on various platforms, laughing to their heart’s content with their fellow sisters, and we, as men, accept this fact and what it means when it comes to our sex, but what about the reverse?  
    It seems no one talks about the different things that make up “good poon.” I mean, yes, there is the “smelly poon” remark that gets thrown around, and now and again, you’ll hear things about a “deep, loose poon” or a “roast beef poon,” but is that all it comes down to? Are you suddenly in the top 1% if you do not subscribe to those phrases?  
    I’m here to tell you no. Just like women, men too have talked about the size, the shape, the inside, and many more aspects that all go into what we consider to be “good poom poom,” and we’ve discussed it at length, behind closed doors, details of the feminine parts that never make its way to the town square. No man is loud enough, bold enough, or cares enough to sing the song of the thing that eats the thong, but I, Sherman T. Hancock, have sung!  
    So, I present to you the Opera of the Bell. Pull the feet of this book close to the edge of the bed, open its legs, lick your fingers and turn the pages, move that leaf to the side, and stick your face in it. I promise you will not stop reading until you have entirely uncovered the secrets hidden deep within this paprika in a bottle, pimento in a bowl, cum inside this capsicum, and discover the Bell Pepper.

    The only thing worse than
    waking up with the hangover from hell
    is waking up with a hangover in hell
    When literary reprobate Foster James wakes up in a strange country house, he assumes he's been consigned to rehab (yet again). But when he gets punched in the face by Ernest Hemingway, he realises there's something different about this place...
    Is Foster dead? Has his less-than-saintly existence finally caught up with him? After a hostile group therapy session with Hunter S. Thompson, William Burroughs and Samuel Taylor Coleridge, it seems likely. But he still feels alive, especially after he gets laid by Dorothy Parker.
    When he discovers that the two enigmatic doctors who run the institution are being torn apart by a thwarted love affair, he and the other writers must work together to save something bigger than their own gigantic egos.
    Set in a place that's part Priory, part Purgatory, Dead Writers in Rehab is a darkly funny tale about the strange and terrible entanglement of creativity and addiction, told by a charming, selfish bastard.

    The Odell Buckenflush Chronicles 5 is the unforgettable conclusion to Steve Spencer’s beloved series of river adventures, where outdoor education meets laugh-out-loud storytelling. 
    Dr. Odell Buckenflush—part myth, part mischief, and entirely unforgettable—returns in a final collection of forty-eight tales that blend canoeing escapades, survival lessons, family misadventures, and tongue-in-cheek philosophy. From battling sudden floods in the Ozarks to surviving paddling mishaps that turn into life lessons, these chronicles remind us that the river is both a teacher and a trickster. 
    With every story followed by a reflective “Tale of the Tale,” readers see how real experiences inspired the adventures, making this book both educational and entertaining (edutainment) for paddlers, outdoor enthusiasts, camp leaders, and anyone who enjoys a good laugh about the unpredictability of nature—and human nature. 
    This volume also features a Glossary of River Terms (both accurate and comically reimagined), plus appendices linking places, themes, and recurring Buckenflush characters across the series.
