Sinopsis

In "The God of Vengeance," Sholem Asch presents a powerful exploration of Jewish identity, morality, and the complexities of human desire. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century Warsaw, this provocative drama unfolds within the confines of a brothel owned by the religiously observant, yet deeply flawed, character Yankel. The play deftly intertwines themes of vengeance and redemption, faith and sin, through vivid, poetic dialogue and rich symbolism. Asch employs a theatrical style that challenges traditional narratives, reflecting the cultural and political tensions of pre-World War I Europe, making it a pivotal work in the Yiddish literary canon. Sholem Asch, a leading figure in Jewish literature, was born in 1880 in Poland and later immigrated to America. His diverse experiences, rooted in both Eastern European Jewish traditions and modern influences, informed his nuanced understanding of the struggles faced by Jewish communities. Asch's own conflicts with societal norms and his exploration of religious themes shaped his writing, allowing him to delve deeply into the heart of Jewish life and its complexities in "The God of Vengeance." For readers interested in the intersection of faith, morality, and identity, Asch's "The God of Vengeance" is an essential read. It not only provokes thought but also invites discussion about cultural heritage and the human experience as a whole. This compelling drama remains relevant today, urging audiences to confront the multifaceted nature of vengeance and the search for redemption in their own lives.

Headcase

Onley James

Asa Mulvaney is half of a psychopathic whole. He and his twin brother live together, party together…kill together. In the Mulvaney family, murder is the family business and business is good. So, when an experiment separates Asa and his brother, Asa is forced to navigate the world on his own for the first time in his life.
Zane Scott is a small-time crime blogger, but he dreams of a byline in a major paper and his suspicions surrounding Thomas Mulvaney are about to make that dream a reality. When an invitation to a boring fundraiser lands him not beside Thomas, as he had hoped, but Asa Mulvaney, they share an intensely passionate encounter that leaves Zane trapped in a cage of his own making.
At a nearby college, a cluster of suicides isn’t what it seems. When Asa’s father asks him to look into it, he sees the perfect opportunity to exploit his little crime reporter and make him fall in line. And Asa needs him to fall in line. Zane is suspicious of Asa’s motives and half-convinced he’s dead either way, but he won’t say no to a chance to peek behind the Mulvaney family curtains.
As the two unravel a sinister plot, Asa’s obsession with Zane grows and Zane finds being Asa’s sole focus outweighs almost anything, maybe even his career—which is good for Asa because loving a Mulvaney is a full-time job. Can he convince Zane that he’s worth navigating a family of psychopaths and tolerating an almost too close for comfort twin? Or will Zane learn the hard way that the Mulvaney boys always get what they want? Always.

But a series of fateful choices leads Kai to make a crucial decision that will affect their lives (and afterlives). Can Hunter cope with a rapidly changing world he finds himself pledged to protect? 
"Reawakening is an engaging tale that thrives on the strength of its characters and the tension of its plot. McPherson's writing is immersive, with moments of humor and humanity that offset the darker themes. I would recommend this book to readers who enjoy supernatural fiction with a strong emotional core—fans of urban fantasy, romance, and action-packed thrillers alike." -Thomas Anderson, Literary Titan
