Book excerpt: #1 New York Times bestselling author Stephen King’s novella The Sun Dog, published in his award-winning 1990 story collection Four Past Midnight, now available for the first time as a standalone publication. The dog is loose again. It is not sleeping. It is not lazy. It’s coming for you. Kevin Delavan wants only one thing for his fifteenth birthday: a Polaroid Sun 660. There’s something wrong with his gift, though. No matter where Kevin Delevan aims the camera, it produces a photograph of an enormous, vicious dog. In each successive picture, the menacing creature draws nearer to the flat surface of the Polaroid film as if it intends to break through. When old Pop Merrill, the town’s sharpest trader, gets wind of this phenomenon, he envisions a way to profit from it. But the Sun Dog, a beast that shouldn’t exist at all, turns out to be a very dangerous investment.

Book excerpt: A “feisty, passionate novel” (Newsday) from a writer whose “storytelling instincts are nearly flawless” (The New York Times). The New York Times–bestselling author of thirty-nine books of fiction, non-fiction, and poetry including Legends of the Fall, Dalva, and Returning to Earth, Jim Harrison was one of our most beloved and acclaimed writers, adored by both readers and critics. Sundog is a powerful novel about the life and loves of a foreman named Robert Corvus Strang, who worked on giant dam projects around the world until he was crippled in a fall down a three-hundred-foot dam. Now as he tries to regain use of his legs, he has a chance to reassess his life, and a blasé journalist who has heard of Strang’s reputation in the field arrives to draw him out about his various incarnations. Strang, who has the violently heightened sensibilities of a man who has gone to the limits and back, recounts his monumental life moving from Michigan to Africa and the Amazon, including his several marriages and children, and dozens of lovers, Sundog is a story as true and gripping as real life, and ultimately as victorious.

Download or read book MANNER OF THE SUNDOG written by Ted Cabana and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-11-06 with total page 612 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nearing the end of the 21st century, the world has been devastated by catastrophic climate change, war, disease and overpopulation. Now the most sought after of all continents to live, Antarctica, has developed into a vastly inhabited and civilized oasis with its own cities, communities, cultures and native population known as the Annortics. Still under the control of the United Nations Consultative Parties, this utopian society established in the exclusive city of Ellsworth is governed by an international coalition of scientists known as ICS, more simply referred to as ICE. The governing laws have been set in accordance with the Antarctic treaty, which has continued to ban any exploitation of its prized resources for over a century. But the tyrannical global corporation known as GRANT, has begun to manipulate, extort and even assassinate key party members in order to take control of the most magnificent frontier on the planet for their own self-indulgence. With the recent discovery of an ancient and highly elusive Nazi military installment, members of GRANT’s abducted science team have learned to develop and exceed the technology that would have allowed the Third Reich to conquer the world during WWII. Together with their covert elite force known as the Lynx, they will use this technology of an unknown origin to once again continue the pursuit of absolute power. In its capital city of Ellsworth, young physics prodigy Bane Elrick is drawn into conflict between Antarctica’s own governing body, the International Coalition of Science and GRANT, a powerful global organization that has seized control of the world’s economy, and now desires to take control of the planet’s last frontier...Antarctica. After inadvertently learning of its profound history and dark secrets, Bane is forced to make decisions that will impact his future, while struggling to save his loved ones from losing the only home they have ever known to GRANT. Bane is guided by his mentor, Dr. Pierce Gödel, president of the Coalition and a renowned geneticist who lives confined to his self-made endodermic suit, which allows his paralyzed body to continue functioning as normal while preparing his revenge on GRANT for their failed assassination attempt which claimed the lives of his beloved wife and daughters. Under his preceptor, world renowned physicist, Professor Sergei Isen, Bane learns of an intangible and extremely valuable isotope that can be used dynamically for inter-stellar travel, anti-gravity propulsion, or as a powerful weapon against all civilization. Throughout his adventure, Bane learns the uglier side of politics, science and life from his friends, mentors and his father, Marlin Elrick, an architectural engineer who tries to guide him toward a more prosperous future. The ghostly memoirs of his deceased mother, a paleo-geologist, lead him as he recalls her cryptic cyphers from his childhood to unravel the secrets of Antarctica’s history, and his own destiny. Markus Blackmore, a former UN Special Forces agent and commander of the Antarctic Regional Guard, shows Bane the darker side of humanity and how to fight for what he believes in. His nomadic neighbor, Donnar McKinley, a wise but eccentric old man, advises him through troubled times with what at first seems to be equivocal nonsense. All the while being driven by his passion for science, his native land and his love for an esteemed politician’s daughter. Bane relates his tale to a new denizen of Ellsworth, sharing his accounts of early life and adventures as a scientist, where he was born and raised and his rise to leadership of the world’s most intriguing continent, and sovereign nation of its own...Antarctica.

Download or read book Afterglow written by Eileen Myles and published by Grove Press. This book was released on 2017-09-12 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A ravishingly strange and gorgeous book about a dog that’s really about life and everything there is…astonishing.” —Helen Macdonald, New York Times-bestselling author of H Is for Hawk In 1990, poet Eileen Myles chose Rosie from a litter of pit bulls on the street, and their connection instantly became central to the writer's life and work. During the course of their sixteen years together, Myles was madly devoted to the dog’s well-being, especially in her final days. Starting from the emptiness following Rosie's death, Afterglow launches a heartfelt and fabulist investigation into the true nature of the bond between pet and pet owner. Through this lens, we witness Myles’s experiences with intimacy and spirituality, celebrity and politics, alcoholism and recovery, fathers and family history, as well as the fantastical myths we spin to get to the heart of grief. Moving from an imaginary talk show where Rosie is interviewed by Myles’s childhood puppet to a critical reenactment of the night Rosie mated with another pit bull, from lyrical transcriptions of their walks to Rosie’s enlightened narration from the afterlife, Afterglow illuminates all that it can mean when we dedicate our existence to a dog. “Myles gets at something no other dog book I’ve read has gotten at quite this distinctly: The sense of wordless connection and spiritual expansion you feel when you love and are loved by a creature who’s not human…raw and affecting.” —Maureen Corrigan, Fresh Air, NPR

Download or read book Warlock written by Jim Harrison and published by Grove Press. This book was released on 2019-03-19 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This “sort of detective story” by the New York Times bestselling novelist offers “farcical, reflective, luscious, gritty [and] stylish entertainment” (The New York Times). As a Boy Scout, Johnny Lundgren was given the nickname Warlock. Now, at forty-two years of age, Johnny has decided to take up that moniker again. It might be an odd name for an unemployed business executive living in Traverse City, Michigan. But perhaps it fits his new job working for an eccentric doctor as a personal trouble-shooter and private investigator. Warlock suddenly finds himself on a range of bizarre assignments—everything from battling poachers in the haunted wilderness of northern Michigan to investigating his employer’s wife and son in the seamy underside of Key West. A comedy with one foot in the abyss, Warlock is “a rich and sparkling novel” by one of America’s most critically acclaimed authors. “Contemporary macho in a funhouse mirror . . . a hybrid born out of Faulkner’s dark hero of Satoris and all the Buster Keaton comedy that we love.”—Los Angeles Herald Examiner
