1950s British B-movie starring Greta Gynt. After telling his next
of kin that he has decided to make changes in his will, an elderly
millionaire is murdered before he gets the chance to go ahead with
his plans. When his niece, crime writer Sophie (Gynt), finds
herself one of the suspects she attempts to solve the case on her
own.
In Gwinnett County's two hundred years, the area has been western,
southern, rural, suburban, and now increasingly urban. Its stories
include the displacement of Native peoples, white settlement, legal
battles over Indian Removal, slavery and cotton, the Civil War and
the Lost Cause, New South railroad and town development,
Reconstruction and Jim Crow, business development and finance in a
national economy, a Populist uprising and Black outmigration, the
entrance of women into the political arena, the evolution of cotton
culture, the development of modern infrastructure, and the
transformation from rural to suburban to a multicultural urbanizing
place. Gwinnett, as its chamber of commerce likes to say, has it
all. However, Gwinnett has yet to be the focus of a major
historical exploration-until now. Through a compilation of essays
written by professional historians with expertise in a diverse
array of eras and fields, Michael Gagnon and Matthew Hild's
collection finally tells these stories in a systematic way-avoiding
the pitfalls of nonprofessional local histories that tend to ignore
issues of race, class, or gender. While not claiming to be
comprehensive, this book provides general readers and scholars
alike with a glimpse at Gwinnett through the ages. CONTRIBUTORS:

" Brock] takes characters and situations into places I would never
have thought of . . ."-Richard Matheson
Jason V Brock is one of the most dynamic young writers of weird and
science fiction, and this first collection of his short fiction
reveals the wide diversity of his talents and the gripping power
and intensity of his conceptions. Among these sixteen stories are
such masterworks as "P.O.V.," a multilayered narrative about a
grisly murder; "The History of a Letter," an ingenious riff on the
iconic figure of H. P. Lovecraft; "Milton's Children," an expansive
novella that hints of unthinkable horrors in the Antarctic; and
"Simulacrum," a scintillating science fiction novella that evokes
the shade of Philip K. Dick. Also included are thirteen of Brock's
evocative poems. With a foreword by William F. Nolan and an
introduction by James Robert Smith.
Jason V Brock has been widely published in magazines, comics, and
anthologies such as "Butcher Knives & Body Counts," "Animal
Magnetism," "Fangoria," the "Weird Fiction Review," S. T. Joshi's
"Black Wings" anthology series, "Like Water for Quarks," and many
others.
