fanny stevenson - a woman ahead of her time & ahead of ours
it is ashame that this book left store shelves so quickly and has become so hard to find. it is one of those rare gems of biography, seemlessly weaving facts and writings and the many stories of a life into a work with a novel-like quality. the work gracefully unfolds the tale of a powerful, courageous woman. fanny stevenson was a woman ahead of her time and she was of her time. she traveled ...

The Power To Choose
When I was 11 years old, my brother and I were walking to our favorite swimming spot on the Colorado River. We passed through a dusty, overgrown lot where an old man had been living in his trailer. We saw him working around his car, with a tube that he'd taped to his exhaust pipe. He looked up, smiled and waved. When my bro and I were done with our swim, we walked home the same way we'd came. We ...

Imus: America's Cowboy

Kathleen Tracy

Carroll & Graf Pub, 1999

From Publisher's Weekly - Publishers Weekly
In this comprehensive biography of radio host Don Imus, Tracy (Home Brewed: The Drew Carey Biography; Seinfeld: The Entire Domain) patches together the reminiscences of friends and enemies into a rollicking narrative of the sleazy but successful career of the "I-Man." Tracy posits that Imus, who grew up on an Arizona ranch, brought a cowboy ethos with him to Manhattan. By her lights, Imus is ...

Anno-Dracula

Kim Newman

Carroll & Graf Pub, 1993

Fangtastic
1888 London, and Dracula is hanging out with Queen Victoria, while in Whitechapel, prostitutes are dying strange bloody deaths... It's obvious that the author had a lot of fun writing this, and I had just as much reading it. Historical fact mixed with Newman's particular sense of whimsy and walk on parts from fictional characters from the Victorian era, it's a tremendous mixture. The ...

Anonymous

Carroll & Graf Pub, 1995

Delicious!
If reading graphic ... scenes that will get your juices flowing is your thing, read on. Although there is a lot of repetitively descriptive terminology, the book is definitely a good one! It was written for pure sensual/... enjoyment! I would like to find more books written by this particular anonymous author!!

The Bloody Red Baron

11 reviews
Kim Newman

Carroll & Graf Pub, 1995

"It'll be over by Christmas."
Not bloody likely. Not when Dracula is helping the Kaiser and the German war machine during the Great War. We meet some old characters, like Kate Reed, Charles Beauregard, Dr. Moreau and, of course, Dracula. We also meet a few new characters, from reality and fiction, like the Red Baron himself, Edwin Winthrop (a new intelligence officer), Goring - who seems to pop up in a lot of 20th century ...

Fraser at his best
Fraser works his charcters and plots with taste and ease. They are real people and real places. Makes you want to read more and find out what happened next. A real grabber.

The Prince of Whales: A Fantasy Adventure

R. L. Fisher

Carroll & Graf Pub, 1986

A wonderful book for young minds...
This book captured my brain for years. I don't know how it ever got away from me, but I loved this book with all my heart. It was probably the book that most influenced my lifelong love of reading. It's always a pleasure to revisit such an old friend. I still remember much of the story, and I'm certain that I could read it now and be just as engrossed. If you want your child to become a reader, ...

The Collected Ghost Stories of E.F. Benson

12 reviews
E.F. Benson

Carroll & Graf Pub, 1992

Jewels of 1920's English Supernatural Fiction
E.F. Benson, perhaps best known for his amusing 'Mapp & Lucia' comedy-of-manners stories also wrote a respectable body of ghost stories which are gathered together in this excellent omnibus anthology. All make for quality reading as examples of the English supernatural genre but a few stand out as darkly-luminous masterpieces, unforgettable in their haunting hold upon the reader and written with ...

The Lily of the Valley

Honore De Balzac

Carroll & Graf Pub, 1989

Balzac's favorite
Of all of Balzac's 93 odd novels this one was his personal favorite. This is the sixth book of his I've read and I think it's probably one of the worst. That's not saying it's bad, it just doesn't compare to the brilliance of Eugenie Grandet, Ursule Mirouet, Pere Goriot or Cesar Birroteau. The plot centers around Felix, a young man who has had a difficult time growing up. One night at a ...

William Stadiem

Carroll & Graf Pub, 1991

Farouk lost much time in idle searching
A few months before 23 July 1952 coup d'etat, king Farouk examined the possibility to form a military cabinet composed of the `loyal' elements in the Army and the `clean' Civilians. The Cabinet was to be headed by Mustapha el Maraghi. The King initially was thinking to bring General Fouad Sadik to head the cabinet, but Sadik-who fought in Palestine, 1948- could not give him the necessary ...

Jared Taylor

Carroll & Graf Pub, 1992

Fascinating book!
I heard Mr. Taylor on a talk radio station some years ago and became interested in this book. This book not only is a great read which I was not able to put down, but also contains fascinating information on the taboo subject of racial differences. Read if you dare!

Jew Suss

5 reviews
Lion Feuchtwanger

Carroll & Graf Pub, 1984

Superb historical novel of Medieval Europe and the Jews.
Feuchtwanger is probably the best historical novelist in the world - truly superb in erudition and majestic in his literary style. While this German Jewish writer is famous for his Josephus trilogy detailing the scenes of the destruction of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem, he has also written unequaled novels on Goya the artist, J.J.Rousseau the philosopher, and last but not least, on Benjamin ...

To Wrestle With Demons: A Psychiatrist Struggles to Understand His Patients and Himself

1 review
Keith R. Ablow

Carroll & Graf Pub, 1994

A deliciously contrarian view of the psychiatric profession.
The authors will be familiar to any regular reader of alt.flame.psychiatry. Ablow and Coles have a long-standing reputation as two of the most provocative--and talented--investigators of the region where social norms, criminal activity, and the human brain meet. That's brain, not mind, and the distinction is an important one when approaching A & C's body of work. Wielding an informed ...

The Blessing

Nancy Mitford

Carroll & Graf Pub, 1998

My favourite Nancy Mitford Book
That even includes Love in a Cold Climate, actually! I thought this book was very funny and quite brilliant. It follows the marriage of a sweet English belle to a handsome, wealthy frenchman from a very well connected family. The marriage is rocky, as the two come from very different backgrounds, but they have their son, "the blessing," to tie them together. As Nancy lived in Paris and grew up ...

Kabloona

Gontran De Poncins

Carroll & Graf Pub, 1985

Haunting and wonderful
My good friend and I were talking a while back after I had watched the movie The Fast Runner, which he had recommended. Talk got around to my deciding to send him my old childhood copy (out of print, I believe) of Peter Freuchen's Book of the Eskimos, and his deciding to send me his old childhood copy of Kabloona. Neither of us had ever heard of the other's book. I must say, as much as I've ...
