DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn this provocative, bitingly funny debut collection, people attempt to use technology to escape their uncontrollable feelings of grief or rage or despair, only to reveal their most flawed and human selves An architect draws questionable inspiration from her daughter’s birth defect. A content moderator for “the world’s biggest search engine,” who spends her days culling videos of beheadings and suicides, turns from stalking her rapist online to following him in real life. At a camp for recovering internet trolls, a sensitive misfit goes missing. A wounded mother raises the second incarnation of her child. In You Will Never Be Forgotten, Mary South explores how technology can both collapse our relationships from within and provide opportunities for genuine connection. Formally inventive, darkly absurdist, savagely critical of the increasingly fraught cultural climates we inhabit, these ten stories also find hope in fleeting interactions and moments of tenderness. They reveal our grotesque selfishness and our intense need for love and acceptance, and the psychic pain that either shuts us off or allows us to discover our deepest reaches of empathy. This incendiary debut marks the arrival of a perceptive, idiosyncratic, instantly recognizable voice in fiction—one that could only belong to Mary South.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKJourney into the world of book collecting with the Goldstones-rediscover the joy of reading, laugh, and fall in love with books all over again. The idea that books had stories associated with them that had nothing to do with the stories inside them was new to us. We had always valued the history, the world of ideas contained between the covers of a book or, as in the case of The Night Visitor, some special personal significance. Now, for the first time, we began to appreciate that there was a history and a world of ideas embodied by the books themselves. Part travel story, part love story, and part memoir, Lawrence and Nancy Goldstone's Used and Rare provides a delightful love letter to book lovers everywhere.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKParts of Me is a collection of poems and prose that illustrate grief, heartbreak, childhood nostalgia, and a bittersweet aloofness that comes from simple, mundane things. Diverse, profound, and even melancholic, they paint a blatant caricature of today’s world and its struggles. The book is a culmination of broken dreams and shattered hopes, of stolen moments and tragic memories. A tale of passion and of courage, of mistakes made and lessons learned. The book is able to connect with teenagers, as the author herself is a teenager. Ranging from social problems to an everyday adolescent’s experiences, it is a portrayal of unsaid feelings and emotions put into words. With a myriad of emotions, it brings a young adult's experiences to life. These poems speak to those with a whole world inside their heads and a mess of feelings in their hearts.
