Liquid Snakes: A Novel
by Stephen KearseWhat if toxic pollutants traveled up the socioeconomic ladder rather than down it? A Black biochemist provides an answer in this wildly original novel of pollution, poison, and dark pleasureIn Atlanta, Kenny Bomar is a biochemist-turned-coffee-shop-owner in denial about his divorce and grieving his stillborn daughter. Chemicals killed their child, leaching from a type of plant the government is hiding in Black neighborhoods. Kenny&’s coping mechanisms are likewise chemical and becoming more baroque—from daily injections of lethal snake venom to manufacturing designer drugs. As his grief turns corrosive, it taints every person he touches.Black epidemiologists Retta and Ebonee are called to the scene when a mysterious black substance is found to have killed a high school girl. Investigating these &“blackouts&” sends the women down separate paths of blame and retribution as two seemingly disparate narratives converge in a cinematic conclusion.Liquid Snakes is an immersive, white-knuckle ride with the spookiness of speculative fiction and the propulsion of binge-worthy shows like FX&’s Atlanta and HBO&’s Random Acts of Flyness. Transfiguring a whodunit plot into a labyrinthine reinterpretation of a crime procedural, Stephen Kearse offers an uncanny commentary on an alternative world, poisoned.
Liquidation (Vintage International Ser.)
by Imre Kertész Tim WilkinsonTen years after the fall of communism, a writer named B. commits suicide, devastating his circle and deeply puzzling his friend Kingsbitter. For among B.’s effects, Kingsbitter finds a play that eerily predicts events after his death. Why did B.—who was born at Auschwitz and miraculously survived–take his life?

The result is moving, revelatory and haunting.
Liquor: A Novel

With some wheeling and dealing, a slew of great recipes, and a few lucky breaks, Rickey and G-man are soon on their way to opening Liquor, their very own restaurant. But first they need to pacify a local crank who doesn't want to see his neighborhood disturbed, sidestep Rickey's deranged ex-boss, rein in their big-mouth silent partner before he runs amok, and stay afloat in a stew of corruption in a town well known for its bottom feeders. A manic, spicy romp through the kitchens, back alleys, dive bars, and drug deals of the country's most sublimely ridiculous city, author Poppy Z. Brite masterfully shakes equal parts ambition, scandal, cocaine, and murder, and serves Liquor straight up, with a twist.
Lírio de Tigre de Bangkok (Lírio de Tigre de Bangkok #1)
by Owen JonesLírio de Tigre de Bangkok Quando as sementes da vingança florescem! Lily nasceu no nordeste de Isaan, perto do rio Mekong, filha única de chineses-tailandeses que possuíam uma loja em sua pequena aldeia. Seus pais tinham um amigo próximo que a Lily chamava de Tio, que costumava sorrir e levar presentes para ela quando ela era criança. No entanto, quando ela tinha apenas onze anos, a natureza dos presentes mudou e havia sempre um preço a pagar por eles, o que Lily odiava. “Experimente contar a seus pais e você vai ver o que te acontece.” Um acidente do destino na escola deu a Lily uma ideia de como acabar com o problema de uma vez por todas e foi então que seus pais perceberam o que estava acontecendo na vida dela. Logo após o incidente, o pai de Lily morreu. Alguns disseram que foi de vergonha. A própria Lily recebeu uma compensação que ela queria usar para mudar sua vida. Sua decisão foi ir para a Universidade em Bangkok. Foi lá que ela percebeu que a compensação, que parecia uma fortuna na aldeia, não seria suficiente para financiar sua vida universitária na íntegra e ela desceu para o lado mais sórdido da vida em Bangkok. Um serial killer está tirando a vida de homens em Bangkok e a cidade está com medo. Não é apenas homens marcados na morte, mas uma marca registrada de flores que é deixada no local de cada assassinato.

Lírio de Tigre de Bangkok em Londres Depois do efeito devastador que sua violência causou em sua própria vida e dos cidadãos de Bangkok em seus primeiros dias como estudante de medicina, a vida de Lily se acalmou e ela se estabeleceu em seus estudos. Depois de dois anos, ela ganhou uma bolsa de estudos para trabalhar no Hospital Infantil Great Ormond Street, em Londres, e se mudou para lá sem Ron, que continuou seus estudos em Bangkok. ‘Lírio de Tigre de Bangkok em Londres’ retoma sua história no segundo ano de dois anos como estudante de medicina no hospital. Ela ama seu trabalho lá e se dá bem com a equipe e com os pacientes infantis, mas ela não tem amigos fora do trabalho.

Sua primeira reação é evitar o despertar do Demônio que a possuiu em Bangkok apenas dois anos antes, mas quando ela encontra outras vítimas de abuso infantil, parece que o dado foi lançado.

No entanto, faz referências frequentes a cenas notórias de abuso infantil, especialmente o infame "Abatedouro de Carnes" em Piccadilly Circus, no centro de Londres. Que vergonha para os nossos chamados líderes, que preferem proteger os abusadores poderosos do que os impotentes abusados! Muitas das questões levantadas ainda estão sob investigação policial no momento em que escrevo, embora poucas pessoas esperem que algo venha delas.
Lirio Tigre de Bangkok: Cuando florecen las semillas de la venganza (Lirio Tigre de Bangkok #1)
by Owen JonesLily nació en una tranquila aldea al noreste de Tailandia, cerca del Río Mekong y en la frontera con Laos, en una familia china propietarios de una tienda. Ella tuvo una infancia muy feliz, hasta que, a la edad de once años un viejo amigo de la familia, que ayudaba a sus padres en la tienda, comenzó a abusar de ella.

Ella vio una película porno que algunos muchachos estaban mirando en su iPad, y que tenía que ver con sexo oral. La siguiente vez que él la tocó, ella le ofreció hacer lo que había visto en la película. El hombre no despreció la oportunidad.

Ella se convirtió en una marginada y contaba los días en que ella pudiera tener la oportunidad de irse a estudiar en Bangkok, usando el dinero que le dieron como compensación del abuso que había sufrido. Ella no conocía a nadie en Bangkok y no estaba acostumbrada a las grandes ciudades, así que comenzó a rondar a una variedad de hombres, a quienes iba por compañía y por el dinero, ya que le quedó claro que lo que ella tenía era una fortuna en su aldea, pero no era suficiente para cubrir sus años de universidad. Ella tenía cinco novios regulares, pero no le gustaba ninguno de ellos y sospechaba que algunos era pervertidos también, porque a ellos les gustaba vestirla como a una colegiala, un papel que podía asumir con facilidad porque ella era en cierto modo pequeña y delgada. Fácilmente podía pasar por una chica de trece sin maquillaje, incluso cuando tenía dieciocho años. A la mayoría de sus novios les gustaba que ella luciera como de trece años. Un día, algo cambió en Lily y ella empezó

Lisa33: A Novel
by Dan AllanIt’s circa 1999 and the first sex chat rooms are in full swing. Late at night as his family sleeps, “Tag,” a lawyer trapped in the golden handcuffs of a loveless marriage, makes his inaugural visit to the newly launched Literoticus.com. He can’t believe what he’s stumbled into. This freewheeling world of lonely misfits engaged in unbridled sexual activity is both shocking and intriguing. When Tag encounters the witty, insightful, and occasionally scathing “Lisa33,” he feels a chemistry that has eluded him his entire marriage. Late-night honesty builds into sexual and emotional obsession, the kind that makes you think you are capable of changing your whole life. But what Dan Allan’s characters fail to anticipate is how hard it is to translate fantasy into reality. As personal discontents begin to intrude on this virtual erotic eden, Lisa’s longing for something better collides with Tag’s inability to step beyond the boundaries of his own very narrow life, and Lisa makes a heartbreaking choice. A heartfelt, profound, and highly original novel that both satirizes and utterly transcends the Internet craze, Lisa33 captures the longing for transformation through fantasy and brings to life the hilarious, weird community of self-invented characters who step into chat rooms in order to step out of the loneliness, fear, and sorrow of real life.
