This is a great science-fiction novel, and a cracking start to a gripping series... a great novel, with awesome world-building and a plot that satisfies the sci-fi buff in all of us. Five stars." --Jayne Lockwood, WROTE"I spent several evenings getting lost in the story and staying up far too late in order to read just one more chapter." --Anne Barwell, Drops of Ink"A science fiction novel with a classic premise that delivers drama, action, technology, and heart.

Review Quotes "Brilliant." --The New York Times"Stephen Graham Jones's Mapping the Interior is a triumph. So emotionally raw, disturbing, creepy, and brilliant. You will not be unmoved. You will not be unaffected. It's a ghost story in the truest, darkest, most melancholy sense. Stephen knows we are haunted by our parents, our families, and our shared pasts as much as we are haunted by ourselves; haunted by who we were, who we become, and who we could've been." --Paul Tremblay, author of A Head Full of Ghosts and Disappearance at Devil's Rock"Stephen Graham Jones's chilling Mapping the Interior is part S.E. Hinton and part Shirley Jackson. It's about being young and broke, and that moment when you first wonder who your parents really are. The answers are out there, but they will leave you haunted forever." --Richard Kadrey, author of the Sandman Slim series"Mapping the Interior is Jones at his best." --PANK Magazine"A chilling tale told from a less-heard perspective, Mapping the Interior is the type of horror story you keep on your shelf for regular hauntings." --Rue Morgue"Mapping the Interior is thus a masterful critique of time, place, and memory in (post/de)colonial contexts that surfaces questions urgent for Native literature, horror fiction, and American history." --World Literature Today"Wonderfully refreshing and not to be missed." --Publishers Weekly About the Author STEPHEN GRAHAM JONES was raised as pretty much the only Blackfeet in West Texas--except for his dad and grandma and aunts and uncles and cousins.

This may be 1957, but South M. still features a blacksmith, a village idiot, and an elaborate fertility ritual performed at the winter solstice.

Drag - by Roger Baker (Paperback)
Number of Pages: 312Genre: DramaSub-Genre: GeneralFormat: PaperbackPublisher: New York University PressAge Range: AdultAuthor: Roger BakerLanguage: English Book Synopsis Men have been dressing as women on stage for hundreds of years, dating back to the thirteenth century when the Church forbade the appearance of female actors but condoned that of men and boys disguised as the opposite sex. Forms of travestism can be traced back to the dawn of theatre and are found in all corners of the world, notably in China and Japan. In recent years, of course, drag has witnessed a dramatic and widespread revival. Newsday recently observed, People are talking about all those fabulous heterosexual film idols who now can't seem to wait to get tarted up in drag and do their screen bits as fishnet queens. Drawing on a cinematic tradition popularized by Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon in Some Like it Hot, Dustin Hoffman (Tootsie) and Robin Williams (Mrs. Doubtfire) have each delighted mainstream audiences with their portrayals of women. Even former drag queens have experience newfound fame; witness the recent popularity of the late Divine, renowned for her oddly compelling appearances in underground John Waters films. Music, too, has been profoundly influenced by drag sensibility, from David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust and the Rocky Horror Picture Show to Boy George and RuPaul (the self- proclaimed Supermodel of the World). Tracing drag tradition from the Golden Age of stage transvestism during the reigns of Elizabeth I and James I in England to the current quasi-drag inclinations of American grunge bands, Drag is an entertaining overview of this popular and complex medium.

It is 1978. Still full of idealism, two best friends reunite in a local U.C. Berkeley tavern. Still not too far of a walk for Dr. William Argent. He remained and became a professor. Simon did the complete opposite and blazed a wanderlust trail around the world since 1968. Both still had the dreamer's disease and want to change the world.

Simon returns and invites Argent to a final quest. He believes he has found the Axis Mundi. Argent's reoccurring childhood dream has recently revisited him, just prior to Simon's arrival.

Sin means to miss your perfect mark. So does Argent stay, or does he go and meet God?
