Book Description
Julian Blushingame admits he has a problem. For many months, he has spent enormous amounts of time in Birmingham's crack whoredom. Julian loves it, loathes it, cherishes it, fondles it, and regrets it. Between jaunts, he manages to fulfill the simple responsibilities of his easy job and live not so differently from any other late twenty-something. He stumbled into this obsession while researching the history of a Birmingham, Alabama, public housing community from the middle of the twentieth century. While Julian does his best to complete his historical research, he can think only about the women he sees everyday walking the sidewalks of the city. Not only does he become deeply infatuated with one streetwalker, he eventually becomes the most pathetic pervert a daytime regular at a third-rate strip joint. But Julian's addiction may cost him his life. An unlucky witness to the killing of a streetwalker, he's been kidnapped by two violent and angry men and is held captive. He doesn't know if his captors plan to release him or if they will kill him.

Again Sanders
Author: Edgar Wallace
Publisher: Read Books Ltd
ISBN: 1473349028
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 133
Book Description
"Again Sanders" is a collection of twelve short stories written by Edgar Wallace. The tales are all loosely connected and centre on Lt. Augustus "Bones" Tibbetts. Part of his famous "African novels" ("Sanders of the River" series), this volume is highly recommended for those who have read and enjoyed others in the series, and it would make for a worthy addition to any collection. Richard Horatio Edgar Wallace (1 April 1875 - 10 February 1932) was an English writer and journalist. He was a prolific writer, producing in his lifetime screen plays, historical non-fiction, poetry, 18 stage plays, over 170 novels, and 957 short stories. He is most famous for being the creator of King Kong, and for his "The Green Archer" serial. Other notable works by this author include: "Kate Plus Ten" (1919), "The Crimson Circle" (1922) and "The Valley of Ghosts" (1922). Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
