  Warning: This book may contain traces of adventure! 
  For nine-year-old Colin, life is a minefield. A single peanut puff is enough to turn his head into a red balloon. While other kids munch on Snickers cake, Colin sits at the "Safe Table" with his dry rice cake. He always thought he was just allergic. 
  He was wrong. 
  When he gets yelled at by a grumpy, one-eyed wool sock named Captain Sockstump in the laundry room, Colin learns the incredible truth: He isn't sick – he is a Guardian! The tingling in his throat isn't a bug, it’s a built-in radar against humanity's darkest threat: 
  The Peanut Butter Trolls. 
  These nasty, sticky beasts want all the nuts in the world for themselves and have cursed children to keep them away. Together with the Captain (who has a panic fear of moths), Colin must now prove his courage. Armed with his Epi-Blaster and the Kernel-Cannon 3000, he dares to jump through the dishwasher into a dimension of toffee beaches and milk lakes. 
  Their mission: Infiltrate the Fortress of Fats, defeat the nasty King Crunchy, and save the world – before Colin runs out of breath! 
  A hilarious fantasy adventure about courage, friendship, and the deadliest danger since the invention of trail mix.

  Our Vampires Ourselves

  Nina Auerbach shows how every age embraces the vampire it needs, and gets the vampire it deserves. Working with a wide range of texts, as well as movies and television, Auerbach locates vampires at the heart of our national experience and uses them as a lens for viewing the last two hundred years of Anglo-American cultural history.“[Auerbach] has seen more Hammer movies than I (or the monsters) have had steaming hot diners, encountered more bloodsuckers than you could shake a stick at, even a pair of crossed sticks, such as might deter a very sophisticated ogre, a hick from the Moldavian boonies....Auerbach has dissected and deconstructed them with the tender ruthlessness of a hungry chef, with cogency and wit.”—Eric Korn, Times Literary Supplement”This seductive work offers profound insights into many of the urgent concerns of our time and forces us to confront the serious meanings that we invest, and seek, in even the shadiest manifestations of the eroticism of death.”—Wendy Doniger, The Nation”A vigorous, witty look at the undead as cultural icons.”—Kirkus Review”In case anyone should think this book is merely a boring lit-crit exposition...Auerbach sets matters straight in her very first paragraph. ’What vampires are in any given generation,’ she writes, ’is a part of what I am and what my times have become. This book is a history of Anglo-American culture through its mutating vampires.’...Her book really takes off.”—Maureen Duffy, New York Times Book Review

  Nirvana's In Utero

  Though Nevermind was Nirvana's most commercially successful album, and the record that broke them - and the grunge phenomenon - internationally, In Utero has increasingly become regarded as the band's best album, both by the critics and the band members themselves. Instead of sticking to the "grunge pop" formula that made Nevermind so palatable to the mainstream, Nirvana chose instead to challenge their audience, producing an album that the band's creative force, Kurt Cobain, said truly matched his vision of what he had always wanted his band to sound like. Here, the full story behind the creation of In Utero is told for the first time.
