The Things We Hide at Home
by Nem RowanThe night Tenny first meets David at the Oubliette Club is when it all begins: the lewd pictures being posted through Tenny’s door, an intruder attempting to enter his home, the feeling of being watched and followed around. David is shy, timid and inexperienced when it comes to BDSM. He stands out like a sore thumb amongst the usual club-goers and Tenny is instantly drawn to his gentle nature.However, David doesn’t gel well with Tenny’s overtly brash best friends, all of whom believe there’s something strange about him. Tenny understands David’s awkwardness, seeing something of his former self in him, and he quickly grows fond of his new friend.In the meantime, Tenny does his best to deal with being stalked by an unknown stranger, wanting so hard to believe David is innocent.Tenny fails to see how someone so quiet and fragile could ever do such horrible things, and is unable to stop from falling for him. Still, the unanswered questions, David’s evasiveness surrounding his past, and co-incidental circumstances leave Tenny no choice but to confront the truth.

The Thousand Crimes of Ming Tsu
by Tom LinAn astounding debut that reimagines the classic Western through the eyes of a Chinese American assassin on a quest to rescue his kidnapped wife and exact his revenge on her abductors, and &“declares the arrival of an astonishing new voice&” (Jonathan Lethem).Orphaned young, Ming Tsu, the son of Chinese immigrants, is raised by the notorious leader of a California crime syndicate, who trains him to be his deadly enforcer. But when Ming falls in love with Ada, the daughter of a powerful railroad magnate, and the two elope, he seizes the opportunity to escape to a different life. Soon after, in a violent raid, the tycoon&’s henchmen kidnap Ada and conscript Ming into service for the Central Pacific Railroad. Battered, heartbroken, and yet defiant, Ming partners with a blind clairvoyant known only as the prophet. Together the two set out to rescue his wife and to exact revenge on the men who destroyed Ming, aided by a troupe of magic-show performers, some with supernatural powers, whom they meet on the journey. Ming blazes his way across the West, settling old scores with a single-minded devotion that culminates in an explosive and unexpected finale.Written with the violent ardor of Cormac McCarthy and the otherworldly inventiveness of Ted Chiang, The Thousand Crimes of Ming Tsu is at once a thriller, a romance, and a story of one man&’s quest for redemption in the face of a distinctly American brutality."In Tom Lin&’s novel, the atmosphere of Cormac McCarthy&’s West, or that of the Coen Brothers&’ True Grit, gives way to the phantasmagorical shades of Ray Bradbury, Charles Finney&’s The Circus of Dr. Lao, and Katherine Dunn&’s Geek Love. Yet The Thousand Crimes of Ming Tsu has a velocity and perspective all its own, and is a fierce new version of the Westward Dream." —Jonathan Lethem, author of Motherless Brooklyn

The Time It Never Rained
by Elmer Kelton"The Time It Never Rained was inspired by actual events, when the longest and most severe drought in living memory pressed ranchers and farmers to the outer limits of courage and endurance." - Elmer Kelton. RioSeco was too small to afford a professional manager for its one-room Chamber of Commerce. And Rio Seco, meaning "dry river" in Spanish, symbolizes the biggest enemy of the ranchers and farmers in 1950s Texas, an enemy they can't control: drought. To cranky Charlie Flagg, an honest, decent rancher, the drought of the early 1950s is a battle that he must fight on his own grounds. Refusing the questionable "assistance" of federal aid programs and their bureaucratic regulations, Charlie and his family struggle to make the ranch survive until the time it rains again - if it ever rains again. Charlie Flagg, among the strongest of Elmer Kelton's memorable creations, is no pasteboard hero. He is courageous and self-sufficient but as real as his harsh and unforgiving West Texas home country. His battle with an unfathomable foe is the stuff of epics and legends.

The Trail of Danger
by William MacLeod RaineYoung Dennis Gifford, runaway sailor from the Mary Bligh, pounded up the dimly lighted streets of Monterey, the shouts of pursuit loud in his ears. He leaped a wall into a Spanish garden. Dennis did not know that this temporary refuge was actually a seething cauldron of hate and death. Those were the days when "Californian" meant a Spaniard or Mexican who lived there. Americans had already conquered the country, but some natives still hoped to drive them out. Bandits--like Juan Castro--recruited their companies by this patriotic appeal. Old Ramon Martinez, in whose house Dennis had found refuge, was a gentleman and opposed violence. He accepted American rule. His sons and daughters, particularly lovely, dark-haired Rosita, liked young Gifford. Juan Castro swore to kill Dennis to get Rosita for himself. Ramon Martinez was being impoverished by shrewd American financiers who held mortgages on his ranches and hired bandits to steal his cattle. Plunged into the fight on Martinez's side, Dennis defeated an attack by Castro on a gold convoy, killed one of the bandit's men and wounded another. From Monterey to rough, bustling San Francisco he rode a trail of danger that meant life or death at every fork--and there were many forks. The trail almost ended when--a captive--he found himself watching a marriage ceremony--that of Rosita and Juan Castro!

The Trail to Crazy Man
by Louis L'AmourA word from Louis L'Amour:"Almost forty years ago, when my fiction was being published exclusively in 'pulp' western magazines, I wrote several novel-length stories, which my editors called 'magazine novels'. In creating them, I became so involved with my characters that their lives were still as much a part of me as I was of them long after the issues in which they appeared became collector's items. Pleased as I was about how I brought the characters and their adventures to life in the pages of the magazines, I still wanted the reader to know more about my people and why they did what they did. So, over the years, I revised and expanded these magazine works into fuller-length novels that I published in paperback under other titles."These particular early magazine versions of my books have long been a source of great speculation and curiosity among many of my readers, so much so of late, that I'm now pleased to collect three of them into book form for the first time."I hope you enjoy them."From the Paperback edition.
