Wherewolf

Tony Lewis

Sinossi

Half-vampire Ollie inherits his uncle's detective agency in the undead town of Skullenia.
 
With the agency comes his uncle's staff: a zombie who can barely hold himself together, a zombie the size of a phonebox and with a single digit IQ, a mad professor, and Ronnie - who has the ability to make himself invisible.
 
Skullenia seems to be the last place that would need a detective agency. At least that is what Ollie thinks, until Count Jocular commissions him to help resolve a series of unexplained disappearances.
 
But has Ollie bitten off more than he can chew? With the help of his motley crew and some quite frankly ridiculous characters, he attempts to solve this perplexing mystery.

Venus is a Man's World

William Tenn

Discover William Tenn's brilliantly satirical science fiction classic 'Venus Is a Man's World,' where gender roles are hilariously reversed. In this thought-provoking tale, Earth's male population has been decimated by war, creating a society where men are rare, pampered commodities and women hold all positions of power. When young Elspeth Marriner travels to Venus—a planet colonized exclusively by men fleeing female domination—she experiences culture shock of cosmic proportions. Tenn's biting wit and social commentary shine in this prescient exploration of gender politics that remains surprisingly relevant decades after its 1951 publication. Perfect for fans of speculative fiction that challenges societal norms while delivering sharp humor and unforgettable characters.

With One Hand Tied behind My Brain

Avrel Seale

Most would not expect a book about a stroke to be entertaining, but this memoir will force you to laugh through a tragedy, then cry, then laugh again.Avrel Seale was fifty, did not smoke or drink, had low blood pressure, and had hiked more than two hundred miles the year a stroke nearly ended his life. In an instant, he was teleported into the body of an old man—unbalanced, shaky, spastic, and half-paralyzed. Overnight, he was plunged into a world of brain surgeons, nurses, insurance case managers, and an abundance of therapists.Seale leads us through the harrowing day of his stroke and emergency brain surgery with minute-by-minute intensity. We then follow him through ICU, a rehab hospital, and a neuro-recovery group-living center, where we meet a memorable cast of other stroke survivors and also those recovering from auto accidents and gunshots. Finally home, Seale leads us through a new life of firsts, including returning to work, to driving, to playing guitar, to camping, and even to writing a book—all with one hand.What emerges from his humor (“elegant but devastating”) is a revealing critique of the hospital experience, the insurance industry, and rehab culture. And his nothing-off-the-table quest for recovery shows both the sobering struggles and inspiring possibilities of life after a stroke in twenty-first century America.
