The Exorcist: 40th Anniversary Edition by William Peter Blatty

Genre(s): Literature & Fiction, Genre Fiction, Horror, Movie Tie-Ins, United States

O riginally published in 1971, The Exorcist, one of the most controversial novels ever written, went on to become a literary phenomenon: It spent fifty-seven weeks on the New York Times bestseller list, seventeen consecutively at number one. Inspired by a true story of a child’s demonic possession in the 1940s, William Peter Blatty created an iconic novel that focuses on Regan, the eleven-year-old daughter of a movie actress residing in Washington, D.C. A small group of overwhelmed yet determined individuals must rescue Regan from her unspeakable fate, and the drama that ensues is gripping and unfailingly terrifying. Two years after its publication, The Exorcist was, of course, turned into a wildly popular motion picture, garnering ten Academy Award nominations. On opening day of the film, lines of the novel’s fans stretched around city blocks. In Chicago, frustrated moviegoers used a battering ram to gain entry through the double side doors of a theater. In Kansas City, police used tear gas to disperse an impatient crowd who tried to force their way into a cinema. The three major television networks carried footage of these events; CBS’s Walter Cronkite devoted almost ten minutes to the story. The Exorcist was, and is, more than just a novel and a film: it is a literary landmark. Purposefully raw and profane, The Exorcist still has the extraordinary ability to disturb readers and cause them to forget that it is “just a story.” Newly polished and added to by it author and published here in this beautiful fortieth anniversary edition, it remains an unforgettable reading experience and will continue to shock and frighten a new generation of readers.

Dreamer (Jarmo) by Jane Susann MacCarter

Genre(s): Literature & Fiction, Romance, Fantasy & Futuristic, Time Travel

W hen homely college student Stella Denton and nerdy professor Harry Vale find themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time during a convenience store hold-up, the result turns deadly. A ricocheted bullet enters Stella’s brain, causing her to sink into a coma.

But Stella is actually more ‘alive’ than doctors realize. Though outwardly unresponsive, she’s actually ‘awakening’ in Jarmo, an Eden-like paradise that actually existed 9000 years ago.

In this alternate world, the New Stella is beautiful and desirable, while the hunky chief of the tribe turns out to be a notched-up version of her Anthro professor, Harry Vale. Stella flourishes in Jarmo, where Harry teaches her the finer points of sex, romance, and passion.

But is Jarmo and all its delights truly an alternative reality? Or is it just a dream, and Stella the Dreamer? Is her beloved Jarmo (as well as New Harry) nonexistent, just a figment of her severely injured brain? When Stella emerges suddenly from the coma, she must make an irrevocable choice between two lives… one of which may not really exist–and the choosing of which might lead to her obliteration.

An 18+ young adult contemporary romance, DREAMER explores the nature of Reality and Love, showing us that neither are absolutes. And that Reality is what you make it–as is Love.

Genre(s): Religion & Spirituality, Fiction, Historical, Mystery, Literature & Fiction, Religious Fiction, Christianity, Christian Fiction

W hat if the world was able to access an ancient artifact that would miraculously heal anyone who touched it? Would it be a blessing or a curse?

This question and more face brash, but endearing, freelance writer Shea Baker, as he finds himself hurled headlong into a mystery of biblical proportions in The Cloak.

To some, making this relic available to heal the masses would be an act of compassion. However altruistic, others believe it to be a totally misguided act–one that would instantly fling the world into theological, political, economic and logistical chaos.

What follows is a hunt for the mysterious article from South Florida to Jerusalem by a number of fascinating characters, each with his/her own agenda for wanting to possess it.

An intriguing story, The Cloak takes us on a theoretical ride that undoubtedly will become the catalyst for lively discussions for years to come.

“I’m not into novels, but this one got my attention. Filled with intrigue and
mystery, it grabs history and the 21st century in an embrace that had me
reading with anticipation. I had trouble putting it down. If the writer puts
her pen to more like this one, I may become a new fan of novels.”

Longshot by Lance Allred

Genre(s): Biographies & Memoirs, Memoirs, Sports & Outdoors, Basketball, Biographies

L ance Allred was probably the last person you’d expect to make it in professional sports. Not only did he grow up on a polygamist commune in Montana, he struggles with obsessive-compulsive disorder. If those hurdles to the NBA don’t seem large enough, Lance is also deaf.Self-deprecating, witty, and wholly original, Longshot is the unlikely story of an unlikely athlete, who despite these factors and a lot of setbacks along the way, finally realized his dream of playing in the NBA, becoming the first legally deaf player in the league. Lance refused to let others’ expectations hinder his dreams, and his refreshing sense of humor about his disability allowed him to face these setbacks without giving up. From his childhood on the commune where he was “Mormon royalty” (his grandfather was prophet Rulon Allred of the fundamentalist sect) to his first time picking up a basketball (eighth grade), to his clumsy efforts to build his skills while growing into his 6′ 11″ frame, Longshot is a riveting account of a young man finding his purpose and letting the love of the game drive him toward his ultimate goal. Going inside the competitive world of collegiate basketball and the strange experience of playing professionally in Europe, with paychecks that never arrive and a knee injury Lance’s team didn’t want to cover, Longshot recounts the moment when Lance hit rock bottom. When he came back to the United States for surgery, Lance was prepared to let go of his basketball dreams and become a high school history teacher like his dad. But luckily he had an agent who didn’t want to see Lance’s dream die, and who found him a deal with the Idaho Stampede, an NBA Development League team in Boise. Although it was paltry pay, it was the last resort. And Lance slowly began to be noticed. Revealing the resilient heart of a young man who truly believes that it’s not about failure or success but about being willing to try, Longshot is a Rudy story for a new generation, a tale of inspiration, dedication, and the power of a dream.

How do they carry on, believing in a future that seems to be based on the flimsiest of promises?

Genre(s): Science Fiction & Fantasy, Fantasy & Magic, Literature & Fiction, Fantasy, Epic, Science Fiction Fantasy & Horror, Science Fiction Fantasy & Magic

“ An epidemic of missing dwarves plagued Nodlon. Every dwarf feared for his life, and everyone else thought the dwarves ran away to escape the hopelessness of living life under a contract. But the Dragon Lord and his greatest servant, Nimrod had crossed time and space to invade our world. Nimrod possessed a hapless dwarf snared by temptation and he became the Black Dwarf. The wicked warlock kidnapped dwarves, mesmerized them, and turned them into an army of zombies to serve the Dragon’s will.”
“Jack, who are you talking to?”
“Shush, Shotgun, I’m explaining our adventure to the Gentle Readers.”
“To stem the tide of runaway dwarves, the Princess of Nodlon resolved to free the dwarves and recruited Cretaceous Jack Clay, celebrity elf and magician extraordinaire, to help her raise support. But before anyone could cry, ‘Biots are people too,’ Nodlon Yard discovered the constellation of Capricorn on the vid screen of a missing dwarf maiden drawn in blood. Inspector Lestrayed called upon his friend, Jack Clay, an amateur sleuth and expert on the paranormal to help solve the mystery. Freedom had to wait while Jack Clay hunted a pair of foes older than history. So began the strange and quirky odyssey of Clay, Jack Clay.”
“Laying it on a bit thick aren’t you? You’re not the only who saved Nodlon! Tell them about me.”
“Shush! You’re the comic relief, Shotgun, in case things get too serious,” huffed Jack. “And so Jack and Shotgun began their heroic adventure to defeat the Black Dwarf.”
“Oh, brother,” moaned Shotgun. “You need a copywriter, Jack, someone skilled enough to condense seven volumes of historical fiction onto a bumper sticker.”
“Always a critic, you are. Yes, you can hack a network, kung fu a bad guy, and bake a soufflé all at once, but can you let me think?”
“Don’t hurt yourself.”
“Together, Jack and his intrepid sidekick save Nodlon from the Black Dwarf and whatever happened during the Gap.”
“What happened during the Gap?”
“We don’t know, Shotgun, that’s why it’s called the Gap. But we know what happened before the Gap. How we saved Nodlon before the beginning of the end of the world.”
“So what happens after the Gap?”
“That’s the next series, all right? One series at a time, if you please! Where was I?” Jack studied his notes. “Cretaceous Clay is a light-hearted romp during the days before the Gap when the legendary hero Jack Clay, that’s me, saved Nodlon.”
“Like they forgot,” muttered Shotgun.
“Now, I’m totally lost. I’ll need an editor,” Jack banged his head on the recorder. “Cretaceous Clay is a nostalgic, science-fiction story with a warm-hearted homage to classic sci-fi, fantasy, and television.”
“What’s television?”
“Vid, Shotgun, it’s what they had before vid. It’s an early technology from the dawn of the Age of Aquarius.”
“I know boss, but the Gentle Readers might not know.”
“Of course the Gentle Readers know. They live with televisions. Remember, our history is their future.”
“So tell them what they’re in for if they read the book. Tell them about Jazz, and Goldie, Faith and Hope.”
“Shotgun, our loved ones only have bit parts.” Jack sighed, “Our story is an action adventure with affectionate characters who never let you down, unrequited romance, kind hearts, flying cars, and biots.”
“What’s a biot?”
“We’re biots.”
“Speak for yourself,” Shotgun grumbled. “You’re only half-biot, but I’m all biot.”
“For a full explanation, they’ll have to go to the Professor’s website and look for the entry, ‘Concerning Biots,’”
“Great, it sounds sweet, delightful, and easy-going. It’s too perfect. The book police will demand a warning, ‘May cause a sugar rush.’”
“Shotgun! It’s supposed to be suitable for kids of all ages.”
“Why not add, ‘And so the magician boldly fights a foe no magician has fought before.’”
“Trite.”
“Not like you’re doing any better. All right, what about, ‘Biots are people too.’”
“Maybe that’ll work. It has a ring to it.”
“Great, send it to the Professor, and let’s do lunch.”
