Una straordinaria morte improvvisa: Una storia di hockey e di vampiri
by Steve Vernon"Steve Vernon fa centro. "Una straordinaria morte improvvisa" tocca le note giuste. Un meraviglioso cast di personaggi, ottimi dialoghi e un autobus malvagio pieno di vampiri crudeli." - Famous Monsters of Filmland “Ciò che rende questa storia così bella sono i personaggi. Le venerabili vecchie scoregge di Hope’s End sono formidabili, pungenti, leggermente ubriache e fatte al 100% di cuore. ”- Serial Distractions "Con "Una straordinaria morte improvvisa", Vernon cattura perfettamente il cuore oscuro di un inverno canadese e la passione per la vita che circonda il gioco dell'hockey. Prende un gruppo di vecchi amici che non si sono mai tirati indietro da una sfida sul ghiaccio quando erano più giovani e ancora rifiutano di farlo anche se sono abbastanza vecchi da sapere bene come vanno le cose. Metti sulla pista alcuni personaggi memorabili, dialoghi davvero fantastici, un autobus carico di vampiri e una conclusione scioccante che non ti aspetti ed ecco una storia vincente". - Gord Rollo – autore horror canadese di VALLEY OF THE SCARECROW "Se Harlan Ellison, Richard Matheson e Robert Bloch facessero sesso a tre in una vasca idromassaggio, e poi un team di scienziati entrasse e filtrasse l'acqua e mescolasse il DNA rimanente in una provetta, l'esperimento genetico risultante sarebbe molto probabilmente Steve Vernon.” – Bookgasm "L'intera storia è una serie di pagine accattivanti pensate per strapparti un sorriso se non per farti ridere ad alta voce - io so che l'ho fatto" - Through Her Ribcage "Una straordinaria morte improvvisa è veloce, frenetica e divertente" - Twilight Ridge "Una straordinaria morte improvvisa di Steve Vernon è un libro di hockey.

Unabrow
by Una LamarcheIn between highbrow and lowbrow, there's Unabrow. "Take the cast of 'Bridesmaids,' add a dash of pre-pubescent Eugene Levy, and you have the humor stylings of Una LaMarche."-- Ann Imig, founder of Listen to Your Mother As a girl, Una LaMarche was as smart as she was awkward. She was blessed with a precocious intellect, a love of all things pop culture, and eyebrows bushier than Frida Kahlo's. Adversity made her stronger...and funnier. In Unabrow, Una shares the cringe-inducing lessons she's learned from a life as a late bloomer, including the seven deadly sins of DIY bangs, how not to make your own jorts, and how to handle pregnancy, plucking, and the rites of passage during which your own body is your worst frenemy. For readers who loved Let's Pretend This Never Happened and for fans of Mindy Kaling, Tina Fey, and Amy Schumer, Unabrow is the book June Cleaver would have written if she spent more time drinking and less time vacuuming.From the Trade Paperback edition.

Unbecoming a Lady: The Forgotten Sluts and Shrews Who Shaped America
by Therese OneillA quippy and irreverent collection of illustrated profiles of the great American women who weren&’t attractive, well-spoken, demure, or sinless enough to receive their rightful place in history, until now, from New York Times bestselling author Therese Oneill.Slut. Shrew. Sinful. Scold. The 19th- and early 20th-century American women profiled in this collection were called all these names and worse when they were alive. And that&’s just fine. These glorious dames earned those monikers, and one hundred years later they can wear them proudly! They refused to conform to societal standards. They bucked everyday niceties and blazed their own trails. They were collectively unbecoming as women, but they forever changed what women can become. With irresistible charm and laugh-out-loud impertinence, New York Times bestselling author Therese Oneill chronicles the lives of eighteen unbecoming ladies whose audacity, courage, and sheer disdain for lady-like expectations left them out of so many history books. Curious readers will learn about forgotten heroines such as: -Dr. Mary Edwards Walker: who, despite being the only woman ever awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor, was shunned and forgotten due to her insistence on wearing pants in public. -Elizabeth Packard: whose careful record of her own unjust incarceration in a 19th century madhouse by her husband (her crime: not wanting to be Presbyterian anymore) led to nationwide law reforms to protect the rights of those with mental health issues. -Lilian Gilbreth: best remembered for being the real-life mom of Cheaper by the Dozen but who probably should be remembered for scientifically removing the stigma of the sanitary napkin and designing the modern-day kitchen. -And many more! With dozens of illustrations and historical photographs throughout, Unbecoming a Lady shines a light on unforgettable, impressive women who deserve to be remembered.
