Eddie Pierce has one job in the rural community simply known as the valley. He is the caretaker of Mrs. Claire’s goats.

Eddie has built himself a comfortable life in the valley, but change is coming whether he is ready or not. A new couple has moved in, and Eddie quickly finds himself pulled between his affection for his girl, his loyalty to his friends, and his duty to an elderly widow.

This is a return to darkness, cruel crimes, and secrets concealed behind a thin veil of reality. It will not be a pleasant, light story about sentimental heroes. It is a heavy, demonic vision of a man who, driven by his greed, found himself in the wrong place at the wrong time. Thus, a dark intrigue emerges, full of brutal scenes, intricate plots, and multilayered contexts, forming a bridge between complex acts, for the Chronicle remains unfinished. Events are unfolding in Haven City and Eddington that, at first glance, seem unrelated. Yet, those who know are preparing for the ultimate hunt to end it all and close the great book. But how can you tell this story without showing the path the martyr had to take? In the shadow of a horror with a brazen tendency toward gore, a monster is born, with Sodom and Gomorrah coursing through its veins. The turbulent themes of murder and torture will repel viewers with weaker stomachs, for here, excessive violence, repulsive sexuality, and unspoken secrets reign supreme. In this world, there is no room for the weak, the innocent, or the small. Only the most ruthless bastards who abandon their humanity will survive, for the only thing that matters here is... one's own survival. With these grim words, dear Reader, you have been warned about a title that harbors much darkness. This will not be a pleasant story. It is not a tale for weak minds with a childlike sensitivity. It is an omen filled with venom, darkness, suffering, and blood. A lot of blood. This is a story of possession, bloodthirsty demons, fallen angels, and bestial murders. You have been warned. Stay vigilant, for you, too, might be possessed!

Eddie's Bastard spins the warm, endearing tale of William Amos Mann IV and of the inhabitants of his eponymous small upstate New York town, Mannville. Related in flashback by the adult Billy, the story begins with him being deposited as an infant on the doorstep of his grandfather's home in a simple wicker basket with a plain two-word message pinned to his shawl reading 'Eddie's Bastard'. Eddie had been killed in Vietnam three months earlier - his father, Thomas Mann Jnr, had given up on life, having lost his only son and, he thought, his only heir. But now, suddenly, Thomas has a grandson and an heir - if not to the once-vast Mann fortune (for Thomas had recklessly squandered that in a foolhardy enterprise just after his heroic return from WWII), then at least to the long legacy of the Mann family stories, stretching back to the Civil War. Eddie's Bastard is filled with episodes of madcap adventure and resonates with the power of lifelong friendship. By turns hilarious, thrilling and heart-breaking, here is a début that stays in the mind long after the reading is over.

An elegy—angry, funny, and powerfully detailed—about the slow death of a Detroit auto plant and an American way of life. How does a country dismantle a century’s worth of its industrial heritage? To answer that question, Paul Clemens investigates the 2006 closing of one of America’s most potent symbols: a Detroit auto plant. Prior to its closing, the Budd Company stamping plant on Detroit’s East Side, built in 1919, was one of the oldest active auto plants in America’s foremost industrial city—one whose history includes the nation’s proudest moments and those of its working class. Its closing also reflects the character of the country in a new era—the sad, brutal process of picking it apart and sending it, piece by piece, to the countries that now have use for its machines. Punching Out is an up-close report, at once tender and angry, from the meanest, sharpest edge of America’s deindustrializa­tion, and a lament for a working-class culture that once defined a prosperous America—and that is now on the verge of eco­nomic extinction.
