POWZAK (doxazine, methylthiazide, speedizone, mortrate, silphocane)

transported into another dimension, not wholly of this Earth.

What Happens When You're Dead? Thomas Buchetta, failed writer and
first-class Jerk Being, is about to find out. And so are we. Hint:
there are no angels with halos and harps in this comic romp through
the AfterWorld. Thomas is assigned a Guide to show him the ropes of
his new domain, a very attractive woman named Rose. If he could
just stop thinking about having sex with her, he might learn
something. Among the first places he visits are the Rooms-Room Head
Shrink, Room Total Peace, Room 27 (where every inhabitant is a
musician who died at age 27), and Room PAP (Puerile American
People)-to name but a few of the thousands of groups that make up
EtherWorld, the Good place. There is another place, the Evil domain
called NetherWorld where Beelzie the Bub and his cohorts Attila the
Hun and the infamous Chopper, drink their red bourbon and plot dark
deeds against Humans. As he glides through Free Space, Thomas
encounters famous people and learns their secrets. He finally gets
to ask Frank Stockton what was behind the door, the lady or the
tiger. He sits at the bar in Gabriel's Hideaway and Amelia Earhart
tells him what really went on in the cockpit before she crashed.
He's amazed to see what Cleopatra actually looked like. Frank
Sinatra shows him how to pick up trashy Sector D women. He plays
music with Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix. Anastasia reveals her
fate at the hands of the Bolsheviks in 1918. Thomas has more than a
little Evil in him and is lucky to have been assigned to Sector C
in EtherWorld. But can he grow, can he come closer to understanding
what matters, while all around him the eternal battle of Good and
Evil rages? He himself will play a part in the biggest battle of
all on his way to becoming an Enlightened, rather than Jerk, Being.
Rose might even come to like him just a little.
Walking Man is the story of David Hall, a young man of mixed-race
ancestry who walks across the United States to fulfill his father's
dying request, and to uncover the truth about himself. The America
he discovers along the way, the people he meets and the ingenious
ways he contrives to overcome every obstacle, are only part of this
story. Time itself twists the journey into unpredictable detours
through the past. Using a map his father gave him, David takes the
same route his father and grandfather walked before him, literally
following in their footsteps. As he will learn, the country they
walked through is still very real, and David will find himself
traveling back in time, as past and present collide. David Hall is
a storyteller whose irreverence and spot-on observations will keep
you turning pages and leave you wanting more when the journey ends.
In 1969, a young New Yorker named Joe Randazzo moved from the big
city to the little town of Shelby, NC and was amazed at the
confluence of old and new living side by side. Realizing that the
Carolinas were at a crossroad, Randazzo decided to capture the
profound changes that were about to occur. He visited tent
revivals, KKK rallies, cotton mills, deer drives and backwoods
stills, always accompanied by his trusty Konica SLR, and planned to
make his photos into a book. Then he lost the thousands of
negatives, 5 years of work. Cleaning out the cellar 35 years later,
Randazzo stumbled upon a carton filled with the long-lost negative
files. You'll see over 200 of the best in this superb collection.
The Carolinas today have changed beyond recognition. We can only be
grateful that "Going With the Wind" exists to document a unique
culture that will never be seen again.
Beautifully illustrated with original artwork by the author, this
"grownup's picture book" is the story of Dick Brown, a lonely and
troubled child of the sixties. His seemingly ordinary childhood,
complete with kite-flying and baseball cards, becomes a troubled
adolescence of drug problems, women problems, and eventual
estrangement from his family. Alone in New York City, Dick makes
choices that lead to vivid, compelling changes in his life. You
won't soon forget him.
What happens when your own government is the enemy? Scientists at
Stanford University accidentally stumble upon evidence that the
moving images on television and computer screens can cause brain
cancer. On the other side of the world, Japanese scientists are
separately arriving at the same conclusion. They warn of an
AIDS-like epidemic. As the death toll from Unexplained tumors
begins to mount, an incorruptible U.S. Senator from the state of
Vermont sponsors a bill to ban TV and other screens. Senator Mario
McGuire is targeted by a shadowy group of ruthless people in
government and business who will stop at nothing to keep him from
succeeding. The battle between these opposing forces keeps
tightening the tension until the final scene. Screen is current and
timely, speaking of government secrecy, religious wars, and the
aridity of pop culture. Written by a former Homeland Security
employee, it will keep you turning pages late into the night.
