Waiting Period: A Novelby Hubert Selby

A blood-chilling excursion into the twisted mind of a serial killer by the acclaimed author of Last Exit to Brooklyn, Hubert Selby Jr.

When the oppressiveness of his memories becomes too hard to bear, a traumatized veteran decides to die. But he grows impatient during the legal waiting period to purchase the gun that will end his sad life. Then he grows angry, resentful of those he blames for his misery and those he feels simply don’t deserve to live. Suddenly a man with no future has a new purpose and a new role as avenging angel. As he spirals deeper into the darkest regions of his twisted imagination, his grisly obsession will give him a reason to live, propelling him relentlessly forward on his great mission to cleanse the dirty city of the unworthy. A brilliant and terrifying nightmare from the author of the critically acclaimed classics Last Exit to Brooklyn and Requiem for a Dream, Hubert Selby Jr.’s Waiting Period views a grim modern world of pain and injustice through the eyes of a maniac whose mind is rapidly deteriorating. A dark and haunting work of raw, savage power, it provides further testament to the greatness of one of America’s most original contemporary literary artists. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Hubert Selby Jr. including rare photos from the author’s estate.

Waterloo, Waterlooby Teresa Waugh

The newly retired Major Jack Bennett is at his happiest when surrounded by his hand-crafted battlefield and miniature soldiers.

Living in the past as he does, he loses himself in Napoleonic war often to the point of replacing the historical protagonists with himself.

Despite the analysis permitted by hindsight, Jack should have known that the historic imperative is often no more than a flick of fortune’s wheel.

Whilst he can pose the anachronistic questions – what would have happened if Blücher hadn’t arrived in time, or if Grouchy hadn’t taken the wrong road, or if it hadn’t rained? – Jack knows that living in the present is a simple question of luck.

What would have happened, for instance, if Jack had never married the self-centred Peggy, if his stepson, Nigel, had been normal, if his daughter, Josephine, had had an ordinary little girl’s dreams?

What would have happened then?

And why is it that the past is so much easier to change than the present?

Flight to Bern Villageby Jaron Osiar

While a war rages in space, a revolutionary group of humans, shapeshifters, and telepaths gather to prove their races can live together in peace. They believe in peace enough to erase their memories and begin a primitive city on a secluded planet, Vastus.

Generations later, conflicts on Vastus force people to flee their city. Meanwhile, a few Peace Bringers arrive on a broken-down space station to observe the inhabitants on Vastus. What they see is anything but encouraging, and they must deal with problems of their own. Vastus Station is falling apart, and the relationships between the occupants are equally precarious.
