Rainbear!!!!!!!!!
"Rainbear!!!!!!!!! is writing at its wildest, maddest, furthest, goofiest, most blatant, most shameless, most free."-Daniel Handler, author of Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events"North's gonzo eclecticism only partially camouflages her penetrating insight and masterful command of language. With Rainbear!!!!!!!!! she has created something part fairytale, part Old Testament parable, and entirely unique, a heartbreaking creative vision of regression."-Gretchen Felker-Martin, author of Manhunt"I can't tell you what happens in Rainbear!!!!!!!!!, and if someone tries to, good luck to them. Frank Stanford once said "It wasn't a dream, it was a flood," and I have spent most of my life believing I knew what that meant, but it turns out I didn't. This is what that means. This isn't a dream. This is a flood. And we should all be so lucky as to drown in Never's waters."-Sasha Fletcher, author of Be Here to Love Me at the End of the World

The Desert Flower
SORCERY. REVENGE. An all powerful genie, an itty bitty living space.Jabaar grew up in the palace of the Sultan Ibrahim and Sultana Abijah, who is Ethiopian. Jabaar's mother, A'dab, was the royal midwife and Jabaar would accompany her to help deliver the babies and to learn the healing arts of magic. His father, however, thought it would make Jabaar "too soft" and he feared Jabaar might become a eunuch in the Sultan's harem.However, in the harem, Jabaar meets the Sultan's eldest daughter, Aaliyah. When Sultana Abijah gives birth to a stillborn son, the only male heir, the Sultan blames A'dab, and sentenced her to death.Feeling guilty about the midwife, the Sultan bestowed favors upon Jabaar and his father, becoming close to Jabaar. Jabaar became like a surrogate son to the Sultan, and he learned everything a male heir would learn. He gave him the choice of exotic pets from his exotic zoo and Jabaar chose an African Gray Parrot and named him Ido, (ee-doo).When Jabaar turned twenty-one, the Sultan made him the Royal Vizier, a job that was supposed to go to Jabaar's father, Jabir. Jabir plotted against Jabaar, but Ido found out and told Jabaar. He had his father put in the dungeon, never to be seen or heard from again.Aaliyah and Jabaar stayed friends and that friendship grew into love. However, Jabaar still held a grudge against the Sultan, playing the long game with the goal of ruling the kingdom. So when the Sultan refused to let Jabaar marry Aaliyah, Jabaar resorted to dark magic. Locking the Sultan away after mesmerizing the palace guards and servants with the staff the Sultan gave him, Aaliyah refused to marry him. Heartbroken, he threatened to kill the Sultan if Aaliyah refused. She relented, but vowed to make his life hell.Unfortunately, for Jabaar, Aaliyah befriended a young orphan named Allasim, who had a genie. After Jabaar had Ido steal the genie's lamp, he used the genie to seize control of the kingdom. He tossed a bound Allasim into the ocean. However, the genie rescued Allasim and the Sultan. Allasim tricked Jabaar into making his last wish to be all powerful. Genie granted his wish and turned him into a genie. The genie then threw the lamp far away into the Sudan desert where Jabaar meets the Eternal Witch, Celeste Dubois, and is offered a chance to change his destiny by rewriting his past.

A Princess of Mars
A Princess of Mars is a science fantasy novel by American writer Edgar Rice Burroughs, the first of his Barsoom series. It was first serialized in the pulp magazine All-Story Magazine from February-July, 1912. Full of swordplay and daring feats, the novel is considered a classic example of 20th-century pulp fiction. It is also a seminal instance of the planetary romance, a subgenre of science fantasy that became highly popular in the decades following its publication. Its early chapters also contain elements of the Western. The story is set on Mars, imagined as a dying planet with a harsh desert environment. This vision of Mars was based on the work of the astronomer Percival Lowell, whose ideas were widely popularized in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Barsoom series inspired a number of well-known 20th-century science fiction writers, including Jack Vance, Ray Bradbury, Arthur C. Clarke, Robert A. Heinlein, and John Norman. The series was also inspirational for many scientists in the fields of space exploration and the search for extraterrestrial life, including Carl Sagan, who read A Princess of Mars when he was a child.

From the phantom duelist of Pickens to the vengeful witch of York County, the unnatural entities scattered across the Upstate are as varied as the contours of its geography.

Shallow Waters
In this "captivating" (Harper's Bazaar) and lyrical debut novel--perfect for fans of The Water Dancer and the Legacy of Or簿sha series--the Yoruba deity of the sea, Yemaya, is brought to vivid life as she discovers the power of Black resilience, love, and feminine strength in antebellum America. Shallow Waters imagines Yemaya, an Or簿sha--a deity in the religion of Africa's Yoruba people--cast into mid-1800s America. We meet Yemaya as a young woman, still in the care of her mother and not yet fully aware of the spectacular power she possesses to protect herself and those she holds dear. The journey laid out in Shallow Waters sees Yemaya confront the greatest evils of this era; transcend time and place in search of Obatala, a man who sacrifices his own freedom for the chance at hers; and grow into the powerful woman she was destined to become. We travel alongside Yemaya from her native Africa and on to the "New World," with vivid pictures of life for those left on the outskirts of power in the nascent Americas. Yemaya realizes the fighter within, travels the Underground Railroad in search of the mysterious stranger Obatala, and crosses paths with icons of our history on the road to freedom. Shallow Waters is a "riveting and heartbreaking" (Publishers Weekly) work of ritual storytelling from promising debut author Anita Kopacz.

God - Universe - Science - Religion - Myths (Color)
With the emergence of civilization, the ancient Human started thinking about the presence of stars, planets and on the causes of different activities of Nature. The religious heads issued many ideas concerning the life of humans on Earth and also concerning the Universe and the Supernatural powers. With growing knowledge of science, many of these ideas appear now as Myths. But many of these ideas, transmitting from generation to generation, have become so powerful that they are taken as Faith.We are to know the Truth based on the actual observations without any imagination. That is what is called Science. The scientific observations differ in many respects from the religious ideas concerning Human and the cosmic periods.The second concern is the fight between Theists (faith in God) and Atheists (no belief of existence of God). Many scientists would say, 'Is it necessary to bring God to create the Universe, when Mother Energy can perform to create the Universe?'. The author puts his logic behind the presence of a Creator for the Universe.Again, there are many unpredictable equations in life, such as prediction of future by enlightened saints, their reading of other's thinking without the help of any instrument, their abilities to cure critically ailing persons and many others, which cannot be explained by the science of matter and energy. But, the observations cannot be denied.All these issues have been discussed in the book.
Forest Folk
How did Davy Crockett gain his legendary courage? What if Ichabod Crane's encounters with the supernatural were more than mere tales? In this enchanting sequel to the acclaimed Mountain Folk, award-winning author John Hood weaves a spellbinding tapestry of early American history and fantasy that reimagines the War of 1812 and the Trail of Tears through a magical lens. Following their triumph in the American Revolution, three extraordinary fairy rangers - Goran the sylph, Har the dwarf, and Dela the water maiden - find themselves facing new challenges in a growing nation. As America struggles to live up to its founding ideals, these magical defenders must forge alliances with legendary figures such as Davy Crockett, Johnny Appleseed, and the Cherokee hero Junaluska to combat sinister forces threatening peace on the frontier. Hood masterfully blends historical accuracy with fantastical elements, creating a narrative that makes early American history accessible and exciting for readers of all ages. From the beginnings of the abolitionist movement to the tragedy of the Trail of Tears, real historical events are enhanced by the presence of folklore creatures who witness - and influence - the shaping of a nation. Perfect for fans of both historical fiction and fantasy, Forest Folk continues the tradition of its predecessor, praised by The Mountain Times as the most engaging treatment of America's founding since John Jakes' American Bicentennial series. This unique blend of history and fantasy illuminates the human stories behind pivotal moments in American history while asking profound questions about justice, freedom, and the true meaning of courage. About the AuthorJohn Hood combines the meticulous research of a historian with the imaginative flair of a storyteller. As both a critically acclaimed author of political and economic histories and a passionate creator of speculative fiction, he brings a unique perspective to historical narrative. His work has appeared in prestigious publications including The Wall Street Journal, Reader's Digest, and National Review, while his syndicated column reaches readers across fifty North Carolina newspapers. Beyond his writing, Hood shares his knowledge as a public policy instructor at Duke University and a commentator for such media outlets as Fox News, NBC News, and National Public Radio. A previous book, Catalyst: Jim Martin and the Rise of North Carolina Republicans, earned recognition from the North Carolina Society of Historians. When not crafting historical fantasies or teaching graduate students, Hood can be found teaching tap dancing to young performers, bringing the same energy and creativity to the dance floor that he brings to his writing. He lives near Raleigh with his wife and three children, where he continues to explore the intersection of American history and folklore.

Rinkitink in Oz
""Rinkitink in Oz: Wherein is Recorded the Perilous Quest of Prince Inga of Pingaree and King Rinkitink in the Magical Isles that Lie Beyond the Borderland of Oz."" is the tenth book in the Land of Oz series written by L. Frank Baum. Published on June 20, 1916, with full-color and black-and-white illustrations by artist John R. Neill, it is significant that no one from Oz appears in the book until its climax; this is due to Baum's having originally written most of the book as an original fantasy novel over ten years earlier, in 1905. Most of the action takes place on three islands - Pingaree, Regos, and Coregos - and within the Nome King's caverns. Since the original ruler of the nomes, Roquat - who later renamed himself Ruggedo, was deposed in 1914's ""Tik-Tok of Oz"", Baum had to cleverly rework the tale to accommodate his successor, the well-intentioned - but politically motivated - Kaliko.
