Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you like your crime very noir, very hard-boiled and very Swansea Jack - this is the novel for you. The Rent Man is riven with deliciously black humour and the almost touchable caustic atmosphere of decaying urban Wales. Swansea is just one British port in the grip of the ruthless Rent Man Gang. Police and Customs are baffled by the fear and secrecy which surrounds their international drugs and male prostitution racket. Charlie Llewellyn is a local sculptor with a shaky Cashflow, a taste for the beer and a divorce battle with the Bitch from Hell. But who are the men behind this brutal gang and why has Charlie really moved back to Swansea? When a young male prostitute is murdered and Charlie commits suicide, the scene is set for one of the most original and gripping thrillers in years. Mike Adlam's ability to create rounded characters makes his book, despite its dark subject matter, a breath of fresh air. He may portray Swansea as a crime-ridden hellhole that makes the Baltimore of the The Wire look like a day trip to Alton Towers, but his determination to look the seamy reality full in the face is refreshing because so rare. Through his use of vernacular and shifting voices, he stays close enough to his characters to get into their heads, but far enough away to show their self-delusion. There is indeed humour here, and characters to return to, but really The Rent Man is about thrills. And as the novel barrels triumphantly towards its unexpected but satisfying conclusion, it's in this respect that it delivers. At times hilarious, at times terrifying, The Rent Man draws us through the trials and tribulations of everyday life into the dark, psychotic underworld of the brutal Rent Man Gang.

Book excerpt: I walk all the way up Hollywood Boulevard to Grauman's Chinese Theatre: past tourists snapping shots; wannabe starlets sparkling by in miniskirts with head shots in their hands and moondust in their eyes; rowdy cowboys drinking with drunken Indians; black businessmen bustling by briskly in crisp suits; ladies who do not lunch with nylons rolled up below the knee pushing shopping carts full of everything they own; Mustangs rubbing up against muscular Mercedes and Hell's Angels hogs. It's a sick twisted Wonderland, and I'm Alice. Here is a story like no other: The unforgettable chronicle of a season spent walking the razor-sharp line between painful innocence and the allure of the abyss. David Sterry was a wide-eyed son of 1970s suburbia, but within his first week looking for off-campus housing on Sunset Boulevard he was lured into a much darker world — servicing the lonely women of Hollywood by night. Chicken—the word is slang for a young male prostitute—revisits this year of living dangerously, in a narrative of dazzling inventiveness and searing candor. Shifting back and forth from tales of Sterry's youth—spent in the awkward bosom of a disintegrating dysfunctional family—to his fascinating account of the Neverland of post—sixties sexual excess, Chicken teems with Felliniesque characters and set pieces worthy of Dionysus. And when the life finally overwhelms Sterry, his retreat from the profession will leave an indelible mark on readers' minds and hearts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before meets The Farewell in this incisive romantic comedy about a college student who hires a fake boyfriend to appease her traditional Taiwanese parents, to disastrous results, from the acclaimed author of American Panda. Chloe Wang is nervous to introduce her parents to her boyfriend, because the truth is, she hasn’t met him yet either. She hired him from Rent for Your ’Rents, a company specializing in providing fake boyfriends trained to impress even the most traditional Asian parents. Drew Chan’s passion is art, but after his parents cut him off for dropping out of college to pursue his dreams, he became a Rent for Your ’Rents employee to keep a roof over his head. Luckily, learning protocols like “Type C parents prefer quiet, kind, zero-PDA gestures” comes naturally to him. When Chloe rents Drew, the mission is simple: convince her parents fake Drew is worthy of their approval so they’ll stop pressuring her to accept a proposal from Hongbo, the wealthiest (and slimiest) young bachelor in their tight-knit Asian American community. But when Chloe starts to fall for the real Drew—who, unlike his fake persona, is definitely not ’rent-worthy—her carefully curated life begins to unravel. Can she figure out what she wants before she loses everything?

Book excerpt: A year ago, Eva Wylie was the biggest, meanest, ugliest female wrestler to disgrace a ring. Her name was on posters. People recognised her on the street. She was on her way to the top. But Eva's life is a game of snakes and ladders and now she's back at the bottom. Barred from the ring, she's reduced to guarding rich folks' cars and dreaming of yesterday's triumphs. With only her dogs for company and just a little booze to keep out the cold, life is bad enough to make a big woman angry - watch out. Musclebound picks up the story which the prize-winning Bucket Nut and Monkey Wrench began. It continues Eva's meteoric plummet through all the low life you could ever hope to meet - thieves, liars, wrestlers and Eva herself. She may not be ready to try for the heavyweight wrestling championship at the moment, but she's certainly a major contender for the most self-deluded narrator in modern English literature.

Book excerpt: TALKING WITH THE DOGS is a story of a famous veterinarian who suddenly finds himself able to converse with dogs due to an unusual quirk of fate that happened a few months earlier at the Westminster Dog Show in New York. In this book, Dr. Zebulon is back in his veterinary hospital in a small college town, Chapel Hill, North Carolina. He continues with his ability to speak with dogs and understand what they are saying to him. During the book, we undergo the trials and tribulations of a working veterinarian in his everyday practice, dealing with all kinds of people and their dogs. It is a thorough book about the interrelationship between dogs and their human companions. An ardent client, Mary Burke, sends Dr. Zebulon an amulet she purchased in an Irish folk market. There is an Irish belief that anyone who wears this shamrock will be able to understand dog vernacular for as long as they wear it. His ability to speak with dogs is assured now. His girl friend is Sallie Predino. They became lovers at the Westminster Dog Show in New York a few months earlier. They continue their relationship in this book, become deeply involved romantically and move in with each other while they combat an evil man, Matt Dye. A restaurant owner, he is also a narcotics smuggler and drug dealer who raises dogs as a hobby. He also owns a sporting house for gentlemen where he keeps women under the influence of drugs so that they will work for him. Matt Dye desperately tries to acquire Sallie's dog because it is an outstanding specimen of a rare and expensive breed. He wants to exhibit her in dog shows and raise puppies from her for large fees. He uses all kinds of illicit methods to get this dog, and especially Voodoo, since he spent some time in Jamaica and brought back an Obeah man a voodoo specialist, to cast evil spells on any of Matt's opponents. Many types of voodoo techniques are discussed in the book. The reader accompanies Dr. Zebulon through his daily chores inside the veterinary hospital, along with his ever-present companion, Bridget McGuire. She is an Irish Setter who gives her beloved owner, Dr. Zebulon, canine advice and words of wisdom throughout the book. However, Bridget becomes very jealous of his newly found love, Sallie, and Zebulon finds himself the center of attraction as the two females wrangle for his affection. Yes, jealousy is a very strong emotion in dogs, as well as people. Lots of mystery and intrigue is unfolded as the evil man tries all of his voodoo rituals on Sallie and Dr. Zebulon in order to obtain that valuable Shar Pei dog. Eventually the police and FBI obtain evidence against Matt Dye and his illicit enterprises. Fortunately, with the help of one of Matt's rebellious dogs, Jimmy Wang, justice overcomes evil and the supernatural powers of voodoo.

Book excerpt: This novel of Mississippi hill country life depicts some of the more troubling and unpublicized aspects of the New Deal by tracing the fortunes of the Taylor family, sharecroppers who move to town to work for the "WP and A," the Works Progress Administration. John Faulkner, a one-time WPA project engineer, has much to satirize in this broadly comic novel. First and foremost are the Taylors: exasperating and unemployable, they are unaccountably abiding; hopelessly destitute, they place a higher premium on a new radio than on food and shelter. Faulkner also casts a sardonic eye on the town merchants, who extend credit to WPA workers as quickly as they inflate prices, and, of course, on the WPA itself, an agency that entices naive, desperate country folk with the promise of a dole--only to lay them off and then ignore them. In his foreword, Trent Watts establishes the singularity of Men Working while noting in it echoes of Tobacco Road, As I Lay Dying, and The Grapes of Wrath. Watts also identifies in John Faulkner's tone an ambivalence shared by many southerners who witnessed the changes wrought by "progress" upon their traditional way of life.
