Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THIS IS NOT A DRILL. Originally posted on Reddit's r/nosleep and largely unedited from the online series, Eli's rules and stories are now here to stay as a novel, with a few extra tidbits thrown in! Eli always thought a list of rules to survive some insane situation like a zombie apocalypse was a bit ridiculous. How would *rules* be enough to save you in a hellscape like that? ...But then his world went to shit, and he realized a list of rules might just save his life. Twelve rules, to be exact. Twelve rules to deal with all the types of monsters that have overrun his city - which has been completely cut off from the outside world by a massive, impenetrable dome. Armed with the rules, his best cat friend Mr. Bailey, and a penchant for naming the monsters after people he hated in high school (there were a lot, okay), every day is a fight to stay alive in monster city. But maybe not all hope is lost. Sure, Eli saw his entire family die, and sure, there may be no way out...but maybe there is. And maybe he's not the last human left (he hopes not, because if *he's* the best humanity has to offer, we're in trouble). And as he continues to survive and delve deeper, it turns out there may be more to the dome and the monsters than he ever imagined. A lot more. Which means his rules are more important than ever, and so are his stories.So hug your family (for Eli, because he can't, and really wishes he still could), relax, and get ready. Because Eli (and Mr. Bailey) present to you: ELI'S GUIDE TO STAYING ALIVE IN MONSTER CITY *Suggested for ages 16+ due to language and violence*

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ELI'S BACK, BITCHES! Originally posted on reddit's r/EliVersusMonsterCity and largely unedited from the online series, Eli's rules and stories are here to stay - again! Eli managed to escape the first trial, along with his cat, girlfriend, and monster buddy...only to willingly get himself trapped in the second trial, hoping to save another city from the same fate his suffered. There's just a few problems with that. The monsters are changing, and changing fast. Which means his rules have to evolve too, or else he's as good as dead. There's still an entire organization hellbent on killing Eli and his newfound family, and they control everything. Escaping and stopping them once and for all is fucking hard. It's impossible to save everyone, and even having been through this before, Eli still has to see countless innocent people torn apart by monsters. Not exactly fun. And those that do survive, he has to teach how to stay alive in their new hellscape, which is easier said than done when people are idiots. Oh, and on top of all that, it turns out there's a new creature in town, one who will change everything Eli knows and challenge him in an entirely new way. Not to mention girlfriend troubles, suspicious corpses that indicate a possible human killer, and the fact that 'dead' doesn't always stay 'dead' in monster city... It's a lot to deal with, and as monsters evolve and people die, the stakes are higher than ever before. Time is running out to escape from the dome and burn down the organization behind it all. If they don't succeed, they die - and the trials get repeated elsewhere, leading to the loss of millions of innocent lives. No pressure. So sit back, relax, maybe grab some popcorn. Because Eli (and Mr. Bailey) present to you, the second book in the Eli vs. Monster City series: ELI'S GUIDE TO ESCAPING FROM MONSTER CITY (suggested for ages 16+ due to language and violence)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Both literary author and celebrity, Bret Easton Ellis represents a type of contemporary writer who draws from both high and the low culture, using popular culture references, styles and subject matters in a literary fiction that goes beyond mere entertainment. His fiction, arousing the interest of the academia, mass media and general public, has fuelled heated controversy over his work. This controversy has often prevented serious analysis of his fiction, and this book is the first monograph to fill in this gap by offering a comprehensive textual and contextual analysis of his most important works up to the latest novel Imperial Bedrooms. Offering a study of the reception of each novel, the influence of popular, mass and consumer culture in them, and the analysis of their literary style, it takes into account the controversies surrounding the novels and the changes produced in the shifty terrain of the literary marketplace. It offers anyone studying contemporary American fiction a thorough and unique analysis of Ellis's work and his own place in the literary and cultural panorama.

Book excerpt: Eli Gottlieb’s previous novel, Now You See Him, was acclaimed by reviewers as “irresistible … moving” (New York Times Book Review), “a triumph…of literary suspense” (Los Angeles Times), and “gorgeous” (USA Today). With The Face Thief, he returns with a driving, compulsively readable novel that probes the wellsprings of human greed and loyalty beset by temptation. Gottlieb introduces the mystery of the charismatic Margot, a promising journalist who morphs—with stunning panache—from a high-achieving affluent twentysomething into a grifter making her living preying on the weaknesses of men. Having studied the ancient Chinese art of face reading, she becomes an expert at reading people and is also able to rearrange her look and persona with uncanny skill to fit any social situation. She is an avenging angel, shattering marriages and draining bank accounts. What drives her quest to deceive and disarm? Exploring this question, The Face Thief moves fluidly forward and back in time, drawing vivid portraits of Margot’s rocky childhood and her adult victims: an amiable, newly married man enticed into a catastrophic fraud; an esteemed teacher outwitted by his most dangerous student; and a well-meaning New York City cop tripped up by his belief in redemption. Ingeniously constructed and exquisitely written, The Face Thief swirls a hypnotic dance of predator and prey, creating a contemporary landscape where the educated are violent, the beautiful ugly, and the well-intentioned hapless. And yet we never give way to despair, because the protagonists of the book push back against the maelstrom and attempt tirelessly to right their toppled lives. Rich in suspense, psychological depth, and nuance, The Face Thief confirms Gottlieb’s standing as “a master” (Denver Post) and, in the words of essayist Phillip Lopate, “an enthralling stylist who[se] . . . characters are shockingly, electrically alive.”

What rises and shines from the page is Todd Aaron, a hero of such singular character and clear spirit that you will follow him anywhere. You won’t just root for him, you will fight and push and pray for him to wrest control of his future. You will read this book in one sitting or maybe two, and, I promise, you will miss this man deeply when you are done.”—Ann Bauer, Washington Post Sent to a “therapeutic community” for autism at the age of eleven, Todd Aaron, now in his fifties, is the “Old Fox” of Payton LivingCenter. A joyous man who rereads the encyclopedia compulsively, he is unnerved by the sudden arrivals of a menacing new staffer and a disruptive, brain-injured roommate. His equilibrium is further worsened by Martine, a one-eyed new resident who has romantic intentions and convinces him to go off his meds to feel “normal” again. Undone by these pressures, Todd attempts an escape to return “home” to his younger brother and to a childhood that now inhabits only his dreams. Written astonishingly in the first-person voice of an autistic, adult man, Best Boy—with its unforgettable portraits of Todd’s beloved mother, whose sweet voice still sings from the grave, and a staffer named Raykene, who says that Todd “reflects the beauty of His creation”—is a piercing, achingly funny, finally shattering novel no reader can ever forget.

Book excerpt: “A well-crafted debut . . . horrifying . . . Psychological thrillers fans won’t be disappointed.” —Publishers Weekly "Unsettling, compelling, elegantly paced . . . A slick, contemporary novel that explores the wispy, nagging memories of childhood.” —Julia Heaberlin, bestselling author of We Are All the Same in the Dark In this compulsively readable novel of domestic suspense, a young woman takes comfort in reconnecting with her childhood nanny, until she starts to uncover secrets the nanny has been holding for twenty years. Sue Keller is lost. When her father dies suddenly, she's orphaned in her mid-twenties, her mother already long gone. Then Sue meets Annie. It’s been twenty years, but Annie could never forget that face. She was Sue’s live-in nanny at their big house upstate, and she loved Sue like she was her own. Craving connection and mothering, Sue is only too eager to welcome Annie back into her life; but as they become inseparable once again, Sue starts to uncover the truth about Annie's unsettling time in the Keller house all those years ago, particularly the manner of her departure—or dismissal. At the same time, she begins to grow increasingly alarmed for the safety of the two new charges currently in Annie's care. Told in alternating points of views—Annie in the mid-'90s and Sue in the present day—this taut novel of suspense will keep readers turning the pages right up to the shocking end.
