Summary

The Ghost of Jerry Bundler is a riveting anthology that explores the eerie and the supernatural, bringing together a series of tales that straddle the boundaries of reality and the unknown. This collection deftly weaves a tapestry of ghostly apparitions and psychological suspense, where each story delves into the haunting effects of the past on the present. The works within range from the subtle psychological terror found in the shadows of everyday life to the more overtly spectral encounters that challenge our understanding of human nature and the afterlife. The anthology is noteworthy for its ability to maintain suspense and evoke a sense of uncanny dread without resorting to explicit horror, making it both a fascinating and unsettling read. The contributors, Charles Rock and W. W. Jacobs, are stalwarts of early 20th-century storytelling, celebrated for their ability to craft narratives that are as thought-provoking as they are frightful. Their backgrounds reflect a rich tapestry of early modernist and Edwardian influences, which permeate throughout the collection, offering a range of perspectives on themes like guilt, retribution, and the supernatural. Together, these authors provide a multi-faceted exploration of ghostly tales, creating a dialogue that bridges literary traditions and innovative storytelling. For readers seeking a profound and thought-provoking engagement with supernatural fiction, The Ghost of Jerry Bundler offers a treasure trove of insights and narrative styles. This anthology not only highlights the diverse voices of its contributors but serves as a lens through which one can examine the intricate ways in which ghost stories encapsulate cultural anxieties and personal fears. With its educational merit and rich narrative complexity, this collection is an invaluable addition to any literary aficionado's library, promising a timeless exploration of themes that continue to haunt readers across generations.

    Not all that glitters is gold; not all who leave are lost. The youngest daughter of devout conservative Christians, Lauren is the favored golden child. Her parents’ doting is rivaled only by her devotion to them; with an absent brother and rebellious sister, she knows her mother and father need her to be perfect, and for their happiness—their approval, their love—perfection is a small price to pay. Until it bankrupts her. While Lauren and her husband follow their faith into the complexities of adoption, missionary work overseas, and a new understanding of systemic racism in America, her parents embrace Christian Nationalism. A chasm opens between herself and her loved ones, and her golden, perfect identity is lost. Can it be regained? Does she want it back...or will she don the mantel of scapegoat and leave her gilded cage forever? This coming-of-age memoir honors the tender pain of anyone whose perfect world has crashed around them, revealing the fractures built into the frame from the beginning. In an era when conversation about family estrangement is at an all-time high, Golden Child: My Descent to Scapegoat and Rise to Freedom offers hope, wisdom, and empowerment to those fleeing a broken family system in search of healing, freedom, and peace.

    The Unindexed Mind: Footnotes from the Storm is the follow-up to the original chaos—part journal, part philosophy, part stand-up set written in the eye of a hurricane. This isn't self-help. It's self-interrogation. These are rants, reflections, and stories collected from the trenches of working-class America and the cluttered corners of a mind that refuses to be simplified. From conspiracy logic to retail breakdowns, from profound loneliness to sudden laughter in the face of it—this is not a polished manifesto. It's a footnote collection from a storm you didn't know you were in. If you're tired of curated wisdom and sanitized thinking, step inside. This book won't save you. But it might help you feel a little less insane.

    It is rare for an author to re-enter one of her books published twenty years ago. In the first edition of Bloodroot, Warland traced how a mother’s shared gender with her daughter can shape the very anatomy of narrative itself. In her mother’s final year, Warland quietly discovered how to disentangle a crucial, concealed story that had rendered their relationship disconnected and fraught. The 2000 edition broke new ground in memoir form and uncharted storytelling. The 2020 edition includes a new essay by Warland that explores subsequent questions, insights, and tenderness only the passage of time can enable.
