Beschreibung

The narrator of Hogg is a Huck Finn–like youngster caught in society’s most sinister seams—but unlike Huck, he passes no moral judgments on the violence he takes part in . . .Hogg is the story of a man—a depraved trucker named Franklin Hargus, whom the people he works for call Hogg—and of the nameless boy who tells the story of three days of unspeakable sexual violence and devastation, which, together, they initiate in a small seaside American city in the middle of the last century. Hogg is a towering brute who makes his living as a rapist for hire. By the end of a series of vicious attacks, kidnappings, and mass murders, the reader will wonder who is more corrupt: the man or the boy.   Samuel R. Delany completed his first draft of Hogg within a day, if not within hours, of the 1969 Stonewall Riots in New York City and revised it over the next four years, though it was not released until 1995.

    “Parotti’s expertly detailed accounts make for constant tension.” —The Historical Novels Review 
     
    Phillip Parotti’s new novel chronicles the fast-paced action of a collection of American submarine chasers as they battle to reduce the German U-Boat menace in the English Channel during the last year of World War I. Lieutenant (junior grade) Ben Snow takes a commission in the United States Naval Reserve, and whips a dissolute crew into fighting shape. They then take their little submarine chaser, SC 65X, out into the English Channel to hunt for German U-boats in the midst of the worst winter in more than fifty years. Their achievements climax with the sinking of a German submarine and taking sixteen of her crew prisoner. 
     
    When the war ends on 11 November 1918, the chaser crews expect to return home, but their exposure to danger is by no means concluded. Instead, the chasers are tasked with exploding the 70,000 dangerous mines planted in the North Sea Mine Barrage. Having survived the war, will Ben and his crew survive the peace?

    **In a world that punishes integrity, defiance becomes sacred.** 
    Magic still endures in the Blue Ridge Mountains, tucked behind the church bells and gossip of Briar Gap, North Carolina. Mara Hollis runs the local occult shop where spells are sold in mason jars and wrapped in brown paper. But when a protection spell meant to banish her obsessive ex goes wrong, it calls something ancient across the Veil, and a cursed fae guardian answers. 
    Eiranthiel is bound, beautiful and dangerous. He owes Mara protection until she’s “safe.” Trouble is, nothing in Briar Gap is safe anymore. Her ex refuses to let go, an authoritarian president has begun targeting those who don’t fit his vision of order, and the magic Mara used to defend herself begins to unravel the thin places around her home, drawing forgotten powers back into the world. 
    As zealotry spreads through the hills and old magic stirs in answer, Mara must decide who she is willing to become to survive. With her coven, her watchful cat, and the reluctant guardian she never meant to summon, she must choose whether to hide, fight, or reclaim the mountain’s memory before it devours its own. 
    A story of witches and weather, sovereignty and control, *The Withered Crown* is about the cost of safety, the defiance of remembrance, and the dangerous grace of being truly seen.
