Book excerpt: Kate loves her life. At forty-four, she's happily married to her kind husband, Ron, blessed with two wonderful children, and has a beautiful home in San Francisco. Everything changes, however, when she and Ron attend a dinner party and meet another couple, Peter and Jill. Kate and Peter only exchange a few pleasant words but that night, in bed with her husband, Kate is suddenly overcome with a burning desire for Peter. What begins as an innocent crush soon develops into a dangerous obsession and Kate's fixation on Peter results in one intense, passionate encounter between the two. Confident that her life can now go back to normal, Kate never considers that Peter may not be so willing to move on. Not long after their affair, a masked man barges into the cafe Kate is sitting in with her best friend, firing an assault weapon indiscriminately into the crowd. This tragedy is the first in a series of horrifying events that will show Kate just how grave the consequences of one mistake can be.

Book excerpt: Award-winning author Dashka Slater spins a tale of friendship, magic, and eternal life in The Book of Fatal Errors, an evocative and witty middle-grade fantasy. Rufus doesn’t just make mistakes – he makes fatal errors. Clumsy and awkward, he feels entrapped by his teasing classmates and their constant laughter. But now it is summer. Rufus is free. He roams the wildlands of his grandfather’s mysterious homestead, blissfully unaware of the danger up ahead. And there is much danger. Rufus and his snooty cousin Abigail soon become entangled in the tantalizing world of the feylings, mischievous fairly-like creatures desperate to find their way home. In helping the feylings, Rufus tumbles down a dark path rich with age-old secrets and difficult truths. Any move he makes might be his final fatal error. Or perhaps, his most spectacular beginning.

Book excerpt: U.S. Marshal Jake Taylor has seen plenty of action during his years in law enforcement. But he'd rather go back to Iraq than face his next assignment: protection detail for federal judge Liz Michaels. His feelings toward Liz haven't warmed in the five years since she lost her husband--and Jake's best friend--to possible suicide. How can Jake be expected to care for the coldhearted workaholic who drove his friend to despair? As the danger mounts and Jake gets to know Liz better, his feelings slowly start to change. When it becomes clear that an unknown enemy may want her dead, the stakes are raised. Because now both her life--and his heart--are in mortal danger.

Fortune awaits the aspiring scribe with many wilesf and oft treats him sorely. If she enrich any it is but to make them subject of her sport. If she raise others it is but to pleasure herself with their ruins. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Feminist science fiction that anticipates a post-patriarchal future. Our Fatal Magic is a collection of feminist science fiction by contemporary artist Tai Shani. Foregrounding explorations of sensation, experience, and interiority, these twelve fantastical prose vignettes refract their ideas through a series of curious characters, from Medieval Mystics to Cubes of Flesh, from Sirens to Neanderthal Hermaphrodites. Drawing on the speculative narrative strategies pioneered by writers like Marge Piercy, Octavia Butler and others, Our Fatal Magic metabolizes new and necessary fictions from feminist and queer theory to propose an erotic, often violent space of critique in which gender constructs are destabilized, alternative histories imagined, and post-patriarchal futures proposed.

Download or read book Fatal Invention written by Dorothy Roberts and published by New Press/ORIM. This book was released on 2011-06-14 with total page 485 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An incisive, groundbreaking book that examines how a biological concept of race is a myth that promotes inequality in a supposedly “post-racial” era. Though the Human Genome Project proved that human beings are not naturally divided by race, the emerging fields of personalized medicine, reproductive technologies, genetic genealogy, and DNA databanks are attempting to resuscitate race as a biological category written in our genes. This groundbreaking book by legal scholar and social critic Dorothy Roberts examines how the myth of race as a biological concept—revived by purportedly cutting-edge science, race-specific drugs, genetic testing, and DNA databases—continues to undermine a just society and promote inequality in a supposedly “post-racial” era. Named one of the ten best black nonfiction books 2011 by AFRO.com, Fatal Invention offers a timely and “provocative analysis” (Nature) of race, science, and politics that “is consistently lucid . . . alarming but not alarmist, controversial but evidential, impassioned but rational” (Publishers Weekly, starred review). “Everyone concerned about social justice in America should read this powerful book.” —Anthony D. Romero, executive director, American Civil Liberties Union “A terribly important book on how the ‘fatal invention’ has terrifying effects in the post-genomic, ‘post-racial’ era.” —Eduardo Bonilla-Silva, professor of sociology, Duke University, and author of Racism Without Racists: Color-Blind Racism and the Persistence of Racial Inequality in the United States “Fatal Invention is a triumph! Race has always been an ill-defined amalgam of medical and cultural bias, thinly overlaid with the trappings of contemporary scientific thought. And no one has peeled back the layers of assumption and deception as lucidly as Dorothy Roberts.” —Harriet A. Washington, author of and Deadly Monopolies: The Shocking Corporate Takeover of Life Itself

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Concerns itself chiefly with the lives of literary martyrs in the more literal sense - authors, that is, who expiated their candor or their temerity by the cell, the rack, or the faggot, rather than the mere victims of criticism or of public neglect. Mr. Ditchfield's list is a long one, and it is mainly a roll of honor, being studded with such names as Huss, Tyndale, Savonarola, Bruno, Galileo, Sidney, Sarpi, Prynne, etc. A chapter is included on 'Booksellers and Publishers,' a class whose misfortunes might well form a special subject of inquiry. Altogether, the little volume contains a good deal of curious and suggestive matter." -The Dial, Volume 18, January 1, 1895 "Fascinating....Mention must be made of his dream, a very benevolent one, for he is plainly a very good friend to scribblers, and has even kind words to say of us critics. It is 'to help the maimed and wounded warriors in the service of literature.'" -The Bookman, Volume 8, April, 1895 "We have a capital idea capitally carried out, and Mr. Ditchfield has compiled for us a remarkable list of authors who were either partial or complete martyrs because of the works of their quills. Satire, theology, free thought, history, politics, poetry - all these have claimed and obtained illustrious victims, so that fire, sword, and torture by the rack, and other implements devised by cruelty, have had many a full feast on the tears and blood of men. In past times the New Woman had not taken up her pen, so that her chances of being roasted were lamentably few....Few poets have lost their heads for a single couplet, yet this was the fate of the Swede, Gaspar Weiser....Mr. Ditchfield must be a man of patience. Rome was not, we have heard, built in a day, and such a mass of information as is made public in 'Books Fatal to Their Authors,' is not collected in a short time." -The Literary World "Contains 'a faithful record of nearly two hundred writers who have been doomed to death, exiled, or otherwise injured, 'on account of their works. The majority of those condemned to death were, we imagine, writers against the doctrines and theology current in their times, such, for example, as Julius Caesar Vanoni. By giving a wider meaning to the word 'fatal,' Mr. Ditchfield is enabled to make his pages richer." -Publishers Weekly, Volume 47, January 5, 1894 CONTENTS: PREFACE: To The Book Lover CHAPTER I. THEOLOGY CHAPTER II. FANATICS AND FREE-THINKERS CHAPTER III. ASTROLOGY, ALCHEMY, AND MAGIC CHAPTER IV. SCIENCE AND PHILOSOPHY CHAPTER V. HISTORY CHAPTER VI. POLITICS AND STATESMANSHIP CHAPTER VII.
