Sinopse

In "Eatin' Crow; and The Best Man in Garotte," Frank Harris masterfully weaves together two captivating narratives infused with his signature blend of ribald humor and incisive social criticism. The stories traverse the complexities of human relationships, moral dilemmas, and the stark realities of life, all delivered in a vivid, conversational style that reflects the author's deep understanding of the zeitgeist of his era. From the gritty streets to the intimate corners of society, Harris captures the essence of American life in the early 20th century, revealing both its absurdities and its poignancies. Frank Harris, a journalist, rebel, and self-proclaimed provocateur, lived a life steeped in the very experiences he pen. Known for his unabashed exploration of topics often deemed taboo, Harris's writings reflect the influences of his diverse upbringing and the literary movements of his time, including realism and modernism. His encounters with prominent literary and artistic figures further shaped his unique voice, making his works poignant reflections of societal norms and their discontents. "Eatin' Crow; and The Best Man in Garotte" is an essential read for enthusiasts of early 20th-century literature and anyone seeking a thought-provoking yet entertaining exploration of life's complexities. Harris's unapologetic style invites readers to confront the uncomfortable truths of existence, ensuring a lingering resonance long after the last page is turned.

Now that her kids were grown and she found herself unexpectedly single, it dawned on her that she was free to move back to the place she had loved as a child, an opportunity that she never imagined she’d have. She quit her job as a principal in northern California and moved to Balboa Island to restart her life in the most magical and happiest place she had ever known. Once on the island, things went very smoothly for her until her heart led her to somewhere new, to a place she’d never even considered, until now.

It's up to ace Washington Tribune reporter Jan Woods to find out. Cadaver in Chief, the new novella from New York Times bestseller Steve Hockensmith (Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Dawn of the Dreadfuls), follows Woods on her search for the truth...a search that puts her up against the most dangerous ghouls in Washington.
