America's most beloved literary characters.
A page-turning mystery.
The gilded opulence of the Roaring Twenties.
And a clever young woman of unusual persistence.

Be ready to re-think the world of Gatsby.

Freshly twenty-one and sporting a daring new bob, Greta Gatsby--younger sister to the infamous Jay--is finally free of her dull finishing school, and looking forward to an idyllic summer at the Gatsby Mansion, the jewel of West Egg. From its breathtaking views to its eccentric denizens, Greta is eager to inhale it all--even to the predictable disapproval of Mrs Dantry, Jay's exacting housekeeper. Indeed, nothing could disrupt the blissful time Greta has planned... except finding out that Jay's cadre of dubious friends--Daisy and Tom Buchanan, along with Nick Carraway and Jordan Baker--will be summering there, too.

It's hard to be noticed when the luminous Daisy Buchanan is in the room, and Jordan keeps rather too close tabs on handsome Nick Carraway for Greta's liking. But by far the worst is Daisy's boorish husband, Tom, whose explosive temper seems always balanced on a knife-edge. But soon, bad blood is the least of their problems, as a shocking event sets the Gatsby household reeling.

Death has come to West Egg, and with it, a web of scandal, betrayal, and secrets. Turning sleuth isn't how Greta meant to spend her summer--but what choice does she have, when everyone else seems intent on living in a world of make-believe?

Deftly subverting romantic notions about money, power, and freedom that still stand today, THE GATSBY GAMBIT is a sparkling homage to, and reinvention of, a world American readers have lionized for generations.

Esta antología son 63 cuentos cortos seleccionados que abarcan distintos géneros, realidades y emociones. Algunos son extensos, otros simples suspiros. Unos te resultaran familiares, pero otros te pueden parecer extraños, incluso ajenos. Son pinceladas, son fotogramas narrativos; son historias que nos invitan a soñar, pero también a reflexionar. Y es que, en estas páginas, todos los relatos comparten un hilo común: la búsqueda de la verdad, de la belleza y de la emoción genuina. Es como si el autor, que nos guía de la mano con una voz narrativa que se mueve con soltura tanto por la introspección psicológica como por la descripción poética, quisiera recordarnos que la belleza y la complejidad no son excluyentes, sino que, a menudo, se encuentran entrelazadas, en esa intrincada danza que es la existencia, la complejidad del alma humana y el mundo que nos rodea.

No es solo un libro, es una experiencia literaria y por eso, más allá de las palabras, lo que realmente importa es lo que estos relatos despierten en ti.

WHAT MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED TO IGNATIUS J. REILLY?In this parody of A CONFEDERACY OF DUNCES by John Kennedy Toole, John Kennedy Toole Jr. plunges Ignatius J. Reilly into a New York City winter wonderland, where our Falstaffian hero inadvertently becomes vice president of the Charlie Chan Chinese Fortune Cookie Company, and where he finds a recently unearthed slip of paper that contains an occult secret for overthrowing the governments of the world (in a most unusual way, of course).Ignatius's parodic adventures would not be complete without his nemesis-friend, Myrna Minkoff. Add to the mix her parents, Mr. Minkoff and Mrs. Minkoff, two inept government agents (is there a redundancy here?), Ignatius's mother, his mother's fiancé, a virago or two, John Kennedy Toole, Ed Sullivan, and Myrna's concupiscent grandmother, Grandmother Horowitz, and you have the ingredients for a parody unlike any other ever written.With a foreword by Franz-Heinrich Katecki.

The complexities and storms of the Telnarian Histories are brought to their unexpected and rousing climax.

Following a palace coup, in the midst of intrigue and turmoil, Otto, the blond barbarian giant, King of the Otungs, a tribe of the Vandal Nation, has set aside the boy emperor, Aesilesius, and seized the throne of the vast, unstable, threatened Telnarian Empire. A raging torrent of complex, perilous events ensues. Can the throne be held? Can the empire survive?

In The Emperor, we meet again fierce Abrogastes, the Far Grasper, lord of the Drisriaks, hegemonic tribe of the dreaded Aatii Nation, enemy to the Vandal Nation; his envious, treacherous son, Ingeld, aspirer to the High Seat of the Drisriaks; Sidonicus, devious, unscrupulous exarch of Telnar, seeker of power through the perversion of religion; envious Fulvius, his ambitious subordinate; a corrupt senate, an unruly citizenry, and private armies; Atalana, superstitious and cunning Empress Mother; her son, the reclusive boy emperor, Aesilesius; his lovely sisters, Alacida and Viviana, one of whom will learn chains and the whip; Julian, of the Aureliani, scion of an embittered and divided aristocracy; and many other players in the games of betrayal, blood, and power.

It's been 150 years since Alice first entered Wonderland in Lewis Carroll's beloved classic book. My, how times have changed! Now, from the multi-award-winning poet and scholar Steve McCaffery comes Alice in Plunderland, a reimagining of Lewis Carroll's Alice books that will forever change the way readers negotiate Wonderland and its menagerie of characters.

McCaffery is your tour guide to Plunderland, a rough-and-tumble world where theft, drugs, and gangs hold sway, and nary a tea party is to be found. Meet the Cheshire Cat (a junkie from the UK), and just try to keep your head on as the King and Queen reign over the land of Cocaine. Yes, in this remarkable land of drug addiction, looting, and civil disobedience, even Alice's adventures are transformed in her quest for a fix.

Clelia Scala's translated collages beautifully annotate McCaffery's renewed vision of Wonderland. Just as McCaffery has plundered Carroll's original text, Scala uses John Tenniel's iconic artwork to create a new look for the world of Alice's Plunderland.

Fans of McCaffery's work will find plenty of poetic marvel to sink their teeth into. In this, his first foray into prose-parody, McCaffery's innovative poetics (in tandem with Scala's provoking images in full colour) transform this classic story according to McCaffery's theory of palindromic time by which the past is contemporized and the present historicized. Alice in Plunderland is sure to break open an exciting new initiative for fans of experimental writing and linguistics in the years to come.

Previously Released in Love Potion Anthology Lilith has spent her life in the ruins of her mother's court that the Horde destroyed. Summoned to her father's court, her entire world is turned upside down. Her father has offered her to the Horde to pay the tithe owed to them, and she'd rather die before bowing to the Horde, but if she intends to keep her secrets, she will kneel to the murderous Horde who destroyed her kingdom, and left it in ruins. Asrian agreed to take one for the team, to marry one of the elusive, wanted brides of the lesser courts. He expected a spoiled, pampered princess, and anything other than what he finds waiting for him in the Shadow Court.

Keeping a hibernating dragon should have been a simple thing. Should have been, but it was not.Apparently, nothing involving dragons was ever simple, at least not for Anne Elliot, junior Keeper to dragon Kellynch.

With the estate in debt, Anne's father in denial, and the dragon's treasure missing, Kellynch's awakening is shaping up to be nothing short of catastrophe. Not to mention, there was the pesky matter of her own broken heart and resentment against the old friend who had caused it.

Captain Frederick Wentworth had spent his life making something of himself in the Navy. With the war that kept him employed at an end and a small fortune in prize money, he found himself beached and at loose ends. What was he to do with himself now-take a wife like Laconia, his dragon Friend, insisted? Not when none compared to the woman who had broken his heart.

Working as an agent of the Blue Order, managing dragon matters across England, seemed a much better alternative. At least until investigating one such matter sent him directly in the path of Anne Elliot, the woman who had ruined him for all others.

Now a royal dragon rages, a sleeping dragon lurks, and too many treasures have gone missing. Can Anne and Wentworth lay aside resentment, pride, and heartbreak to prevent Kellynch's awakening from ending in bloodshed-or worse?

A fresh new gaslamp fantasy adventure in the engrossingly intricate world of Jane Austen's Dragons. Anne McCaffrey meets Jane Austen perfect for dragon lovers and regency-era fans alike.

Utterly unsettling words and images, culled and composed from the detritus of etsy.com. As one of the authors describes it: I recently discovered that certain folks buy and sell haunted and paranormal items on eBay. This intrigued me, so I began reading item descriptions in this category. It was a goldmine of oddity.I chose a concise poetic style (the tanka, 5/7/5/7/7 syllables) to distill the essence of the items providing the most background information. Most items required more than one tanka to tell the story. At about the same time I began this project, I met the acquaintance of the amazing Dutch artist, Marcel Herms. I knew his uniquely free and interpretive style would complement this subject matter. I asked him if he would be interested in reading the poems and processing them inside his dark, funhouse imagination. Marcel is game for anything and a true team player. His images elevate this weird poetic experiment to an artistic level neither could achieve alone.That's what is hiding around the next page-creepy, concise paranormal poetry for a digital age, and digital attention spans, accompanied by mind-altering art. --Jordan TrethewayCreepy in the best sense of the word, these poems and images will stick to the back of your eyes and work their way inward.
