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.
