Is a Chainsaw from New York Times bestselling author Stephen Graham
Jones. Four years after her tumultuous senior year, Jade Daniels is

overturned. But life beyond bars takes a dangerous turn as soon as
she returns to Proofrock. Convicted Serial Killer, Dark Mill South,
seeking revenge for thirty-eight Dakota men hanged in 1862, escapes
from his prison transfer due to a blizzard, just outside of
Proofrock, Idaho. Dark Mill South's Reunion Tour began on December
12th, 2019, a Thursday. Thirty-six hours and twenty bodies later,

Heart Is a Chainsaw from New York Times bestselling author Stephen

When Mephistopheles offered Faust the world and all its treasures
in return for his soul, Faust wanted time to think about it. When
the deal included the world's most beautiful woman, Faust still
hesitated. But when Mephistopheles offered him the woman he loved,
Faust handed over his immortal soul. The choice for Samson Gregory
is equally Faustian. Fame, fortune and the woman he loves in return
for selling his soul. If he has one to sell. Big money, big and
evil Pharma, sex, spies, sport and sudden death, in every sense,
combine in a gripping modern morality tale that twists and turns to
a wonderful conclusion. The European golf circuit is the background
for the story, but you don't have to like golf to enjoy this. Sport
is just a metaphor for life and the way our character is tested by
the choices on offer. It's easy to have principles, until they
start to cost us money, or someone we love. Then we ditch them. we
all know the road to the top is a hard one. So what if the devil
tempts us with an easy one? Let yourself be tempted. Read this
riveting book!
Fancy a spot of peaceful, dignified golf? Then West Belby, with its
dark past and present traumas, is not the place for you. Hard up
and desperate, the club's novice managers turn to the services of a
mysterious American, who promises what he may never deliver and
keeps his past a secret. Fraud, vandalism and an unexplained fire
put fragile friendships and rocky relationships to the test. Old
rivalries re-emerge, past loves gain new energy, ancient wrongs cry
out for revenge and John Winter, a decent man with one major
weakness, women, is caught in the middle of a tale of deceit,
revenge, passion and humiliation, as the past returns to haunt them
all. Even the tightly regulated game of golf, with its strict
etiquette, buttoned-up morality, and a rule for every situation
proves an unreliable restraint on the explosive emotions of its
players. Off the course, moreover, there are no rules, and precious
little remains buttoned-up for long! 'Winter Rules' is a
rip-roaring follow-up to the popular 'The Trophy Wife'. It deals
with grown-up themes in a humorous, witty and down-to earth way.
The style is delightful, the characters engaging and the story
turns this way and that before reaching a satisfying and surprising
conclusion.
Harry Brennan gets nervous playing his buddies at golf for a
tenner. Imagine how he feels when he has to face a deadly rival in
a three-pronged shoot-out on the links, for a prize like no other.
The twists and turns of this ingenious and unique comic gem will
keep you entertained and agog right to the final, totally
unexpected twist. Golf dub membership is falling fast. This book
will change all that. What really goes on in the clubhouse and on
the putting greens is a revelation and will have you laughing,
crying and gasping in disbelief. And everyone will want to be a
member at West Belby. For years Graham Jones wrote regular columns
in the Times education section. He made the obscure and remote
world of Further Education funny and relevant and had a loyal
following of readers. In his first novel at the age of 69, he
brings the same qualities of a lively style and off-beat sense of
humour to golf dub politics and manners. And the result is amazing.
You'll love the characters; you'll love their stories; you'll love
this book.
Marine Composites: Design and Performance presents up-to-date
information and recent research findings on the application and use
of advanced fibre-reinforced composites in the marine environment.
Following the success of their previously published title: Marine
Applications of Advanced Fibre-reinforced Composites which was
published in 2015; this exemplary new book provides comprehensive
information on materials selection, characterization, and
performance. There are also dedicated sections on sandwich
structures, manufacture, advanced concepts, naval architecture and
design considerations, and various applications. The book will be
an essential reference resource for designers, materials engineers,
manufactures, marine scientists, mechanical engineers, civil
engineers, coastal engineers, boat manufacturers, offshore platform
and marine renewable design engineers.
The marine environment presents significant challenges for
materials due to the potential for corrosion by salt water, extreme
pressures when deeply submerged and high stresses arising from
variable weather. Well-designed fibre-reinforced composites can
perform effectively in the marine environment and are lightweight
alternatives to metal components and more durable than wood. Marine
Applications of Advanced Fibre-Reinforced Composites examines the
technology, application and environmental considerations in
choosing a fibre-reinforced composite system for use in marine
structures. This book is divided into two parts. The chapters in
Part One explore the manufacture, mechanical behavior and
structural performance of marine composites, and also look at the
testing of these composites and end of life environmental
considerations. The chapters in Part Two then investigate the
applications of marine composites, specifically for renewable
energy devices, offshore oil and gas applications, rigging and
sails. Underwater repair of marine composites is also reviewed.
The Jordan Peele of horror fiction turns his eye to classic slasher
films: Jade is one class away from graduating high-school, but
that's one class she keeps failing local history. Dragged down by
her past, her father and being an outsider, she's composing her
epic essay series to save her high-school diploma. Jade's topic?
The unifying theory of slasher films. In her rapidly gentrifying
rural lake town, Jade sees the pattern in recent events that only
her encyclopedic knowledge of horror cinema could have prepared her
for. And with the arrival of the Final Girl, Letha Mondragon, she's
convinced an irreversible sequence of events has been set into
motion. As tourists start to go missing, and the tension grows
between her community and the celebrity newcomers building their
mansions the other side of the Indian Lake, Jade prepares for the
killer to rise. She dives deep into the town's history, the tragic
deaths than occurred at camp years ago, the missing tourists no one
is even sure exist, and the murders starting to happen, searching
for the answer. As the small and peaceful town heads towards
catastrophe, it all must come to a head on 4th July, when the town
all gathers on the water, where luxury yachts compete with canoes
and inflatables, and the final showdown between rich and poor, past
and present, townsfolk and celebrities slasher and Final Girl.

These thirteen stories are our own lives, inside out. A boy's
summer romance doesn't end in that good kind of heartbreak, but in
blood. A girl on a fishing trip makes a friend in the woods who's
exactly what she needs, except then that friend follows her back to
the city. A father hears a voice through his baby monitor that
shouldn't be possible, but now he can't stop listening. A woman
finds out that the shipwreck wasn't the disaster, but who she's
shipwrecked with. A big brother learns just what he will, and
won't, trade for one night of sleep. From prison guards making
unholy alliances to snake-oil men in the Old West doling out
justice, these stories carve down into the body of the mind, into
our most base fears and certainties, and there's no anesthetic.
Turn the light on if you want, but that just makes for more
shadows.
