Curl up with a cat and a book. A full litter of stories—science fiction, fantasy, and mystery—all cats, every page. A dying pet gets a new life through cybernetics—but will his humans accept a robocat? Defrosted kittens run amok. Chocolate kitties from Mars change from delicious treats to something a little different. A Siamese detective fingers—or paws—a burglar. An alien furball lands on a cat-hater’s doorstop. A kitten’s gift to the Christ child gets rejected, but that’s not the end of this cat’s journey. A sphynx pussyfoots through a wormhole and finds his soulmate on the other side, narrowly escaping death. A fisherman crosses a tiger kami and is transformed into a legend. Angels dye a kitten purple and give it wings, but these do not serve it well when it plunges to Earth in the path of a speeding eighteen wheeler. And, in a Nebula nominee, an extinct cat is revived from ancient fossil material and innocently rampages in a rural Ohio township. A fun page-turner for fans of felines!

ISBN: 0061793558

The heartwarming and unforgettable story of a family and the wondrously neurotic dog who taught them what really matters in life. Now with photos and new material. Is it possible for humans to discover the key to happiness through a bigger-than-life, bad-boy dog? Just ask the Grogans. John and Jenny were just beginning their life together. They were young and in love, with not a care in the world. Then they brought home Marley, a wiggly yellow furball of a puppy. Life would never be the same. Marley grew into a barreling, ninety-seven-pound streamroller of a Labrador retriever. He crashed through screen doors, gouged through drywall, and stole women's undergarments. Obedience school did no good -- Marley was expelled. But just as Marley joyfully refused any limits on his behavior, his love and loyalty were boundless, too. Marley remained a model of devotion, even when his family was at its wit's end. Unconditional love, they would learn, comes in many forms. Marley & Me is John Grogan's funny, unforgettable tribute to this wonderful, wildly neurotic Lab and the meaning he brought to their lives.

Club column along with bonus interviews and fifteen brand-new entries covering everything from notorious flops like The Cable Guy and Last Action Hero to bizarre obscurities like Glory Road, Johnny Cash’s poignantly homemade tribute to Jesus. Driven by a unique combination of sympathy and Schadenfreude, My Year Of Flops is an unforgettable tribute to cinematic losers, beautiful and otherwise.
