Sinopse

In "The Scripture Club of Valley Rest; or, Sketches of Everybody's Neighbours," John Habberton masterfully weaves a tapestry of quaint Americana, illuminating the lives of ordinary citizens in a small town. Through a series of interconnected sketches, Habberton employs a conversational and satirical prose style, infused with humor and an undercurrent of social commentary. The narrative artfully balances local color with profound insights on the human condition, reflecting the social dynamics of post-Civil War America—a period marked by change and the search for community identity. John Habberton, known for his keen observational skills and ability to capture the essence of 19th-century American life, draws upon his own experiences growing up in a similar environment. His background in journalism and engagement with various social issues provide a rich foundation for the characters and scenarios that populate this work, offering readers a glimpse into the intricacies of neighborly relations and moral dilemmas faced by everyday folk. This book is a compelling read for those interested in early American literature, community dynamics, and the intersection of humor and morality. Habberton's work not only entertains but also invites readers to reflect on their own social circles, making it a valuable addition to any literary collection.

    Hailey’s Exploitation: A Cute Freshman, Her Lecherous Tutor, and His Horny Son.  An ENF Story of Submission and Shame. Freshman Hailey O’Brien is one cute little honey—and Professor Alec Larsen can’t keep his dirty mind and hungry eyes off her. That’s why he’s been so willing to give her extra help for all these weeks—for which Hailey is very grateful. Sadly, professional protocol prohibits him from laying his equally hungry hands on her.
     
    But his son Oliver can.
     
    Poor Oliver. Alec’s freshman son doesn’t stand a chance with women—certainly not a beauty like Hailey. He’s awkward, gangly, and homely to a fault. There is absolutely no way this kid would ever be able to even be noticed by a girl like Hailey, let alone score with her.
     
    Well, this gives Professor Larsen an idea. A very dirty idea.
     
    Capitalizing on Hailey’s plan to become a social worker, he informs her that she could be of great “service” to this poor, awkward boy by letting him get in a little “practice” on her. Talking, kissing, that sort of thing.
     
    Well, even that is a bit much for Hailey to agree to—until her kindly professor reminds her that he has, after all, given her a whole lot of free help all semester. And one generous deed deserves another. Finally, she agrees.
     
    But that’s only because Hailey doesn’t realize that talking and kissing are just for starters.
     
    Professor Larsen is far too perverted—and Oliver is far too horny—to be satisfied with a bit of kissing. Much to this quivering young woman’s shock, she is about to offer Oliver a whole lot more than her sweet lips!
     
    Oliver is about to become very educated. And his dad is about to one heck of a good time himself! Especially after Hailey’s very tight jeans come off!
     
    Fans of ENF erotica featuring beautiful, young, submissive college chicks who find themselves in the most embarrassing, debasing, humiliating situations imaginable—this one is for you!

    Chef Charlie Hunter's arrival in the beautiful Chilterns is the fulfilment of a long-held dream: to open her own restaurant in an idyllic countryside location.
    But instead of rural peace and a chance to lick her wounds, Charlie finds something ugly stirring under the chocolate box perfection. When a prominent local builder is found dead in suspicious circumstances, Charlie the outsider becomes a suspect.
    And the only way to clear her name seems to be to find out who the real killer is.
    Using all the craft Charlie's learned in kitchens – discipline, timing, preparation and grim determination – she will be as relentless in her quest to bring a murderer to justice as she is in creating the perfect meal.

    From New York Times bestselling author of My Best Friend's Exorcism, The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires, and The Final Girl Support Group, Grady Hendrix takes a break from horror and goes all-in on sci-fi in this novella about backyard rocket jockeys trying to get into low earth orbit. 
     
    Melville, South Carolina was out of money, it was out of jobs, it was out of hope, and today it was out of astronauts. There were only two to begin with, and now one is stuck on the abandoned International Space Station after his mission went south. With NASA’s budget cut to the bone, there’s no one to bring him back home, so everyone is only too happy to ignore this embarrassing sign of American Failure and just let him die. But his cousin, Walter Reddie, isn’t going to let that happen. 
     
    Tanked on vodka, living on a “farm” whose only crop is cars on cinderblocks, Walter's a wash-out from the Shuttle Program and he’ll be damned if he’s going to let his cousin die in the sky like a dog. And so he begins to build a rocket. If America won’t rescue its astronauts, he’ll do it himself. 
     
    Violating numerous laws, good taste, common sense, logic, and reason, Walter becomes a lightning rod for people who aren’t ready to give up. His farm is transformed into the promised land for misfits, drifters, rocket junkies, pyromaniacs, dreamers, science nerds, and astro-hippies who believe that space shouldn’t just be for billionaires. But it won’t be easy. Chances are good they’ll blow themselves up, get arrested, or kill each other before they ever get into orbit.

    MEET THE UNFORGETTABLE YOUNG WOMAN, LaDene Faye Howell, who finds herself in police custody recounting her story after her paroled cousin Bobbie Frank appears and engages her in a crime spree. 
     
     
     
    LaDene Faye Howell has spent her life in the small town of Devola, on an oxbow of the Muskingum River, in southeast Ohio. Her family is conservative and deeply religious, although another branch of the Howell clan are notorious criminals. When one of her outlaw relatives returns from prison, LaDene hopes the two of them may share an evening of fun, or even a spark of romance. Instead, Bobby Frank embroils her in kidnapping their old high school principal. 
     
      
     
    Taken into custody, LaDene recounts her misadventures in the form of a dramatic monologue. Pledging to "tell all in full truth so help me God," she hopes to keep herself out of jail and perhaps even soften Bobby's likely sentence. She also aims to capture her listeners' sympathy by recounting a secret from her past that she has never shared before. 
     
     
     
    Told with country noir flair, the heart of the story is LaDene's struggle to live as her own person while remaining true to her heritage and family loyalties.
