This is a night for endings. A night for stuffing your copy of The Catcher in the Rye into your backpack and saying goodbye to your house where your dad spends every night drinking too much whiskey, reminiscing about his army days and beating the crap out of you and your brother. A night for checking the list of names of all the kids at school who have always irritated you and called you a freak and a weirdo. A night for paying tribute to all the cult movies and cult figures who gave you a voice when you were struggling to find your own. A night for prowling the dark street with their grave-cold pavements; meeting the clowns, phantoms, gargoyles and helpless ones who come crawling out of their hiding places at night. A night for discovering the dark thing inside you, getting to know him intimately, feeling him stretch his wings and ball his angry fists. This is the final night. Tomorrow I’m taking a gun to school.

I was prophesized over in my early thirties I would write a book, and through my brokenness, it would bring many of our Father's children home to the kingdom. I have 100 percent faith this book can and will change your life or the life of a loved one. In no way am I saying I wrote a top New York seller, but with no doubt, He used my hand to pen it. It contains murder, exorcism, abortions, sexual fetishes, drugs, domestic abuse, and criminal acts; but even though I was the main character in the story, the story somewhere is your own story. I cry when I read the final version because with every evil thing the enemy has caused in all the above, you will see Jesus's mighty hand and His word in Scripture that will change your life if you choose to have a relationship with Him like I did. You are just leveling out of an epidemic, wars are happening, the cost of living has skyrocketed, and my friends, with every breath in my lungs, what the enemy has done for bad to turn our world into a place I definitely feel is not the same world even five years ago, but I believe we are the last generation, and God has used all this evil to shake the world to get them to depend on His Son, Jesus, before it's too late. I hope this book changes you, your relationships, and your brokenness like it has mine. If anyone reads this and found the love of our Father, I would love to do a follow-up book with your love story into chapters. Remember, even if you forgot what love even means anymore, you will when you see how much He loved me after all the evil and hate I did toward Him.

Doony, Ryder, Wyatt, Bodhi. The names of Kristin Hersh’s sons are the only ones included in her new memoir, Seeing Sideways. As the book unfolds and her sons’ voices rise from its pages, it becomes clear why: these names tell the story of her life. This story begins in 1990, when Hersh is the leader of the indie rock group Throwing Muses, touring steadily, and the mother of a young son, Doony. The chapters that follow reveal a woman and mother whose life and career grow and change with each of her sons: the story of a custody battle for Doony is told alongside that of Hersh’s struggles with her record company and the resulting PTSD; the tale of breaking free from her record label stands in counterpoint to her recounting of her pregnancy with Ryder; a period of writer’s block coincides with the development of Wyatt as an artist and the family’s loss of their home; and finally, soon after Bodhi’s arrival, Hersh and her boys face crises from which only strange angels can save them. Punctuated with her own song lyrics, Seeing Sideways is a memoir about a life strange enough to be fiction, but so raw and moving that it can only be real.

A terrifying thriller that will crawl beneath your skin . . . and leave fresh blood on every page. “Fraught with tension . . . Invasion of the Body Snatchers meets The Hot Zone.”—Rocky Mountain News Across America a mysterious disease is turning ordinary people into raving, paranoid murderers who inflict brutal horrors on strangers, themselves, and even their own families. Working under the government’s shroud of secrecy, CIA operative Dew Phillips crisscrosses the country trying in vain to capture a live victim. With only decomposing corpses for clues, CDC epidemiologist Margaret Montoya races to analyze the science behind this deadly contagion. She discovers that these killers all have one thing in common—they’ve been contaminated by a bioengineered parasite, shaped by a complexity far beyond the limits of known science. Meanwhile Perry Dawsey—a hulking former football star now resigned to life as a cubicle-bound desk jockey—awakens one morning to find several mysterious welts growing on his body. Soon Perry finds himself acting and thinking strangely, hearing voices . . . he is infected. The fate of the human race may well depend on the bloody war Perry must wage with his own body, because the parasites want something from him, something that goes beyond mere murder.
