Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
There's A Lobster Loose
For more than ten years, five would-be writers have somehow
managed to discard infirmity, tragedy, parental and spousal
responsibility, sucky jobs, suckier prospects, literary rejection
and the basic planetary pull of life's gravity to join one another
in a unique collective of literary hooliganism that may not rival
The Round Table, but certainly involves congregating around a
table. Enter The Loose Lobster and this collection of essays, short
stories, screenplay excerpts and other words which simply defy
classification. Enjoy the read.
Buffalo & Rochelle is the intersection where the author lost
his only son where so many stories died and so many others began.
At the heart of this collection, and introducing it, is the title
story of two young men and choices and fate and what might have
been and what won't ever be, ever again. Meeting here at these
crossroads are tales tall and short stories of ordinary people
living extraordinary moments stopping here, starting here, going
who knows where together or going nowhere alone. With imagination
and grace and wit and his raconteur grandfather's way with a story,
George Evans takes you to places you've never seen, even if you've
been there before. Once in route, he introduces you to a cast of
characters you'll never forget. Even if you wanted to. Welcome to
the intersection of Buffalo & Rochelle and to stories just
passing through. Buckle up.
In the small, friendly Oregon town of Lone Oak, seemingly untouched
by time and the modern world, a fundamentalist minister thinks the
town's secular activities have summoned the pale horse of the
apocalypse. Believing he's been called to become the town's savior,
Reverend David Phillips strikes out at the scantily clad girls at
track meets, the blasphemous talk among the town's eccentric
cronies in the barber shop and gas station, and the growing
population of Latinos, among whom he sees a teenage boy Jesus
Martinez as the Antichrist. The minister, empowered by his
religious beliefs, is a terrifying force, but the townspeople are
not powerless. Led by the town matriarch, Rachel Douglas, flinty
granddaughter of the town's founder, and inspired by Cat Stanford,
a gifted athlete whose running prowess unites them, the town
resists the minister and his followers. Will the town's fundamental
goodwill and humanity be enough to withstand the minister's rigid
and destructive fundamentalist beliefs? The pale horse, once called
forth, cannot easily be recalled.
