Beschreibung

Aidan Wilson’s misfortune is to be hard as nails 
In this darkly hilarious and seriously horrifying book Williams tells the story of Aidan, a vigilante and young offender from one of Sheffield’s roughest estates.  
At breakneck speed, we see Aidan’s world unravel as he goes from hero to outlaw, fighting against all-comers and the circumstances he can’t escape. But is he a victim or architect of his own demise?  
A brutal and breathtaking account of living with violence in the English city. 
There are lots of crime novels, but Nutcase is something different: a novel about crime which isn’t interested in the conventions of crime fiction. The novel is based on a specific Icelandic saga: the Saga of Grettir the Strong. 
Nutcase explores the lives of people who live with violence on a day-to-day basis – how it shapes and distorts their lives, and ultimately becomes part of the normality that they live with.

If David Sedaris, Chelsea Handler, Larry David, and Caitlin Moran had the unlikeliest orgy in history, the resulting love child might one day write a book like this rollicking collection of true tales from Roy Sekoff, the founding editor of the Huffington Post. Whether he’s describing a teenage pilgrimage to a Times Square porn superstore, life-changing experiences with high colonics and psychic readings, an ill-fated attempt to make off with a tissue containing Oprah’s tears, or that time Chevy Chase grabbed his balls at a funeral, Sekoff is a lively, irreverent raconteur whose sharp observations wring laughs out of a ludicrous-yet-relatable life.

Four books in one: The ultimate compendium of the New York Times–bestselling series filled with hilariously wrong test answers from real-life classrooms. This fun omnibus features the complete content from all four books in the popular series—F in Exams, F for Effort, F this Test, and F in Exams: Pop Quiz—plus more than one hundred brand-new, sadly real, hilariously wrong, and sometimes admirably creative student answers (Q: What is the role of a catalyst in a chemical reaction? A: It lists the cats involved). Also including bonus trivia in the form of “Stuff They Should Have Taught Us in School” facts (did you know a sneeze can travel up to 100 MPH?), this A+ collection will amuse anyone facing down a test as well as those happy to have the classroom behind them.

This comic third novel in our Berry Fleming series centers on Lucinda, a local girl-makes-good, who returns on her psychoanalyst’s suggestion to Fredricksville, Georgia, in order to “find herself.” A successful author and playwright in New York City, she poses a distinct problem for the residents of The Homestead—a large, communal home left to any member of the Telfair family who wishes to stay—since all of the characters in her novels and plays are based upon her relatives’ antics. And the members of the Telfair clan, for their part, prefer to keep their private comings and goings out of the public eye. Hustlers, hoteliers, swindlers and drunkards, bankers and bank robbers, madams and prostitutes, northern aristocrats and southern gentry, and plain old-fashioned working people are all in Lucinderella, enlivened by the deliciously satirical eye of one of the South’s most extraordinary novelists.

Art, a 29 year old scuba rep from Indiana, is floating through life, rudderless and apathetic. One day, when he leaves work in order to avoid an office birthday party, he stumbles across a sign for Mystery Mike’s Bookstore. What was first mere curiosity grows into an obsession when threatening notes and mind warping illusions prevent Art from finding the damn place. 
  
 Art impulsively disregards his responsibilities at work and home to get to the bottom of the mystical bookstore. He soon teams up with Lenny, a Middle-aged Granite State Schlub and his celebrity dog, Schubert, who were former clients of the store before being shut off from access right when they needed it most.  
  
Schubert is dying and Lenny is desperate to keep him alive. Lenny is also wracked with guilt that Schubert's illness might be a side effect of the training knowledge obtained from Mystery Mike's. During their search, the team encounters some peculiar people, including a brash cult leader, a ventriloquist couple with a supernatural secret, and angelic super race of humans with ulterior motives. Some will become friends, some will become enemies, but everyone seems to be in it for themselves. What are they willing to do to solve their problems and possibly save all of humanity to boot?
