The White Table, 4am. You are asleep my hope-and-all in the guest room above the night wind while I, at the white table, ponder nervous sounds of yet another night, a wakeful speck of metropolitan thought. It is the hour of the burglar and the anxious father, of late lovers and tragic drinkers... William Oxley retired from London and accountancy to become a poet in Devon. Since then he had devoted himself with gusto to every form of verse, especially the long poem which he with Sebastian Barker champions in the Long Poem Group. The poems here range widely across history, philosophy and experience and art - the green crayon man being Van Gogh.

The Vampire the Masquerade Clan Novel Saga is a thirteen-volume masterpiece, presenting the war between the established Camarilla leadership and the growing power of the brutal Sabbat on the East Coast of the United States. Each novel is told from the perspective of one of the thirteen clans, intertwining with the others, and filling in missing pieces artfully as we follow battle after battle, intrigue after intrigue—and the appearance of a strange artifact that falls into the hands of a solitary Toreador sculptor. Clan Novel Nosferatu is the thirteenth novel in the series. Lowliest and most scorned of vampires, the Kindred of Clan Nosferatu know better than most the horrors that lie far beneath the streets. Little did Calebros, among the foremost of the brethren, suspect that his clan's suggestion to Victoria Ash of a celebration in Atlanta would be a new beginning for a complex spiral of interlocking events that is completely changing the face of the Kindred world. Calebros must comprehend all this while pursuing his clan's course of vengeance against a desperate and deadly enemy. Meanwhile, a great war between the Camarilla and the Sabbat seems to be coming to another cessation. What is Calebros to make of the fact that it is concluding in New York City, where also resides the Eye of Hazimel, an empowered neonate named Leopold, the sorcerous enemy his clan has sought, and SOMETHING that is lurking beneath the streets? This series is a monumental 13-novel exploration of the forbidden world of the Kindred. What began in Clan Novel: Toreador continues here, and it's ending will determine the fate of every human–and inhuman–being in the world.

Henry's got it good. He's a semi-successful, if not yet famous novelist. He's got a good job and good buds. Best of all, he's got Layla, his long-time, live-in lover, a fast-track associate at a New Jersey law firm. Henry loves Layla and she loves him. Life is a banquet, until . . . The Ultimatum! In a week, Henry and Layla are off to Maine for a friend's wedding. And if Henry hasn't proposed marriage by the time the bride tosses the bouquet, Layla swears they're finished. For good. Henry thinks if it's not broke, don't fix it. But Layla needs proof of his love and devotion. And she's not kidding. So who can he turn to for advice? Jake, his despondent divorced brother? His marriage-junkie golf friend, Big John? His outsized Peter Pan pal Pete, who simply won't grow up? Meanwhile Layla's got her two best girlfriends, tough-talking Gloria and sensitive Susan, giving helpful, contradictory advice. Time is ticking away on the most important decision of Henry's life. But it'll take a mad, high-speed road trip and some bizarre behavior—perhaps even an impromptu kidnapping—to point him in the right, life-changing direction.
