Book excerpt: Like Thomas Pynchon's The Crying of Lot 49, YANAPOP is a bizarre, Saturnalian plunge into the underground - a wildly imaginative, streamlined doomsday machine that never stops for a second until the last desperate, manic breath.

In Los Angeles, he falls into a career opportunity of galactic proportions with a corporation (YANAPOP) that creates games, films, goddesses, and superheroes. Martin becomes Odysseus in search of Chloe as he pursues the goddess of his dreams. He becomes Oedipa in pursuit of the nightmare secreted in the engine that drives Amerika - and the universe. He goes from a mild-mannered reporter to a comic book hero and an avenger in the mythological landscape of Southern California at its most ingenious extremes. Just when you think you have finally swum ashore, be prepared - the next phase in this air-conditioned nightmare is already sweeping you back out to sea. YANAPOP is a yarn for lovers of The Crying of Lot 49 and for viewers of Martin Scorsese's After Hours. This is the next great thing.

Book excerpt: If you enjoyed Martin Scorsese's dark comedic film After Hours (with its all star cast), you'll love YANAPOP. What starts as a simple boy meets girl romance turns into a suspenseful, hair raising adventure of fantastic and frankly crazy proportions. It's a wild ride you won't want to miss. It's a lot of fun as the author takes your imagination out for a walk - on the wild side. Martin Brown, 21, is a U.C. Berkeley Lit major, home from San Francisco, and spending the summer with his parents and sister in laid back San Diego. He's looking for a summer job. Based on a lead from a friend, he ventures to Los Angeles to interview for a writing position with global media giant corporation YANAPOP. YANAPOP creates games, films, books, and anything else involving entertainment, including mythologies involving goddesses and superheroes. YANAPOP is an acronym for Young Adult + New Adult + Participating Older Persons, based on the realities of modern publishing. Los Angeles is just two leisurely hours by car from San Diego on coastal highway I-95. Martin drives to LA for his interview. He falls into a career opportunity of galactic proportions with a little help from a gorgeous young (21) production assistant named Chloe Setreal. Chloe guides him through his interviews and takes a special interest in the handsome young applicant. Martin and Chloe fall madly and instantly in love that same day. Martin returns to San Diego, two hours south, where he is spending the summer with his parents and sister. All he can think of is Chloe, seeking some excuse to go back and see her as soon as possible. Chloe is thinking the same, and a little bad luck offers her the opportunity to reach out to her dashing hero. No sooner has Martin arrived back home, than he receives a call from Chloe in LA. She has been in an accident, is immobilized with her leg up in a cast, and desperately longs for Martin to come hold her hand. Martin gallantly hops in his car and heads north, just as a tremendous Pacific Ocean storm begins to pelt San Diego. That's just the beginning of a hair-raising adventure, a nightmare of epic proportions, as courageous and undaunted Martin Brown strives to make it to Los Angeles (or Lost Alienopolis) at any cost. What should be a two-hour drive turns into an Odyssey lasting, well, a long long time... but dial in to learn all the details. Be amazed, because the story stops at nothing.

Cal discovers a hidden basement room where it’s clear that salacious activities have taken place—as well as evidence of missing DVDs. But his investigation soon becomes more complicated when he realizes it may not be discs the thief was actually interested in.... Meanwhile, Detective Barry Duckworth is still trying to solve two murders—one of which is three years old—he believes are connected, since each featured a similar distinctive wound. As the lies begin to unravel, Cal is headed straight into the heart of a dark secret as his search uncovers more startling truths about Promise Falls. And when yet another murder happens, Cal and Barry are both driven to pursue their investigations, no matter where they lead.

Download or read book George Formby written by David Bret and published by Robson Books Limited. This book was released on 2001 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This highly controversial and compelling biography of George Formby presents a very different Formby from the one known to his many fans. His life was fiercely dominated by his wife Beryl, a woman who was single-handedly responsible for his tremendous success as Britain's greatest male entertainer. Bret explores George and Beryl's public and private lives and the results are frequently shocking; there were secret love affairs; they hated their fellow stare and loathed George's family. Bret also describes the sacrifices they made and the danger they put themselves in whilst raising thousands of pounds for the war effort. He also lifts the lid on their controversial trip to South Africa, where they became fervent denouncers of Apartheid and received death threats. Formby's films, all twenty-two of them, are fully analysed along with his songs, and the book contains detailed appendices of these and a full discography.
