  Will this killer scare him to death or kill him? 
  Lance Alexander Sr sat singing along with his car radio as he waited to pick up his son Jr. He was totally distracted by the music. He didn't see the man jump in his car til it was too late. "What are you doing in my car," said Lance noticing him. 
  "Drive!" said the stranger coldly. 
  "I'm waiting for my son hit the road, Jack!" said Lance he hadn't time for this guy. 
  "Forget him and drive," said the stranger pulling a gun on Lance. 
  "You don't want to do this mate!" warned Lance knowingly. 
  "do you think you're a magician?" asked the carjacker. 
  "I'm worse!" said Lance smiling darkly as he stared the car and sped off. Lance was worse than a magician they were heroes he was wanted by the police as a serial killer. 
  His son saw his car speed away. 
  "Okay I'll take myself home then!" said Jr shortly and disappeared into thin air teleporting home. 
  Meanwhile, in the car, the carjacker was terrified thinking he chose the wrong car to carjack. The owner was insane and had some sort of a death wish he was all over the road like a madman and had a devil-may-care attitude with the carjacker. 
  "Let me out of here? I'll not hurt you if you let me go," pleaded the carjacker who was petrified. 
  "You said you wanted me to drive," said Lance in a mock hurt tone as he locked the doors and drove on. 
  Also in the book: The Haunting of the Necromancer, Hell is empty and all the devils are here, The necromancer goes to jail

  I Am the Law - How Judge Dredd...

  He is the law—and you better believe it! 
   
   
   
  Judge, jury, and executioner, Judge Dredd is the brutal comic book cop policing the chaotic future urban jungle of Mega-City One, created by John Wagner and Carlos Ezquerra and launching in the pages of 2000 AD in 1977. 
   
   
   
  But what began as a sci-fi action comic quickly evolved into a searing satire on hardline, militarized policing and "law and order" politics, its endless inventiveness and ironic humor acting as a prophetic warning about our world today—and with important lessons for our future. 
   
   
   
  Blending comic book history with contemporary radical theories on policing, I Am The Law takes key Dredd stories from the last forty-five years and demonstrates how they provide a unique wake up call about our gradual, and not so gradual, slide towards authoritarian policing. 
   
   
   
  From the politicization of policing to "zero tolerance," from violent suppression of protest to the rise of the surveillance state, I Am The Law examines how a comic book warned us about the chilling endgame of today's "law and order" politics.

  You’ve heard of the American Dream, but what about the American Nightmare? Tatanga Hōksheen: A Failed Attempt to Kill the Indian unfolds the gripping tale of an Assiniboine boy named Tatanga Hōksheen, born along the serene banks of Montana’s Milk River, only to be thrust into a soul-crushing institution designed to strip away his cultural identity. 
  At the tender age of 10, Tatanga Hōksheen’s idyllic life takes a dark turn. Ripped from his family and the world he knew, he’s forced into the Pierre Indian School in South Dakota— a government-established institution that aims to “kill the Indian, save the man.” With no word from home and subjected to unthinkable hardships, Tatanga Hōksheen navigates years of forced assimilation, physical abuse, and spiritual erosion. 
  But this is not just a story of despair. It’s a tale of resilience, a narrative of a young boy who battles against a system intending to dissolve his heritage, spirituality, and very self. Will Tatanga Hōksheen ever escape the shackles of Pierre Indian School? Can he rediscover the spirit he lost? Embark on this heartrending journey and witness one boy’s struggle to reclaim his identity and find a place in a world that has tried to erase him.

  Adam Bede

  George Eliot

  George Eliot was the pen name of Mary Ann Evans – an ironic 'deception' given that Adam Bede, her first novel, is written unashamedly from a feminist standpoint. The story centres on a pastoral love triangle. Two young men, carpenter Adam Bede and squire Captain Arthur Donnithorne, are both in love with the mercurial Hetty Sorrel. There's a further love interest between Adam and beautiful lay preacher Dinah Morris. The setting is a country village in the north of England in the last years of the eighteenth century. The author paints a wonderful landscape of contemporary life as it really was, and excels in the portraits of her characters. Each is flawed, each has their own passions, each is unique, and through this great novel, Eliot put her stamp on literature and on the way we view the vagaries of character, helping us to see people as they really are. This is one of the greatest novels in the English language. First published in 1859, Adam Bede has never been out of print since, which speaks volumes about its timeless quality.
