Book Description
“A fashionably photographed book that’s as high-rolling and unapologetically carnivorous as [the Beatrice Inn].”—The New York Times Book Review IACP AWARD FINALIST • NAMED ONE OF THE BEST COOKBOOKS OF THE YEAR BY THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW The Beatrice Inn’s presence in New York City spans close to a century, and its history is ever changing, from one of New York’s first speakeasies, frequented by Fitzgerald and Hemingway, to a beloved neighborhood Italian restaurant to one of the city’s most notorious night clubs. Angie Mar purchased the Beatrice Inn in 2016 and led the storied landmark into its next chapter. Mar transformed the space and the menu into a stunning subterranean den where guests are meant to throw caution to the wind and engage in their most primal of senses. Pete Wells, in his rave two-star New York Times review, summed it up best: “It is a place to go when you want to celebrate your life as an animal.” Now, in Mar’s debut cookbook, the Beatrice Inn experience will resonate with readers no matter where they live. Butcher and Beast invites readers into this glamorous, gutsy, and forever-nocturnal world. Mar’s unconventional approach to flavor profiles are captured in over 80 recipes, including Milk-Braised Pork Shoulder, Duck and Foie Gras Pie, Venison Cassoulet, and Bone Marrow–Bourbon Crème Brûlée. Throughout are also essays on Mar’s controversial and cutting-edge dry-aging techniques, her adoration of Champagne, the reality of what it takes to lead in the New York City restaurant scene, and the love and loyalty of her tight-knit family. Visually arresting photography shot entirely on Polaroid film captures the elegant and ever-opulent world of the Beatrice Inn.

Book Description
This is book 3 and the finale of the Devil’s Kin MC romance series! There’s nothing glorious about taking her like a savage beast. I never wanted a woman or a baby. But I know one thing for sure: I’m not pulling out of Gloria until I’m fully finished. That’s not usually my style. Most of the time, I’m the bang ‘em and leave ‘em’ type. But something about this girl makes me keep coming back for more. She’s a survivor, like me. And every time we part ways, I can’t stop thinking about her body in my arms. Her moans in my arms. Her fingernails, clawing the bedsheets. But I can’t be with her. She deserves a family man, not a broken man like me. My plan was to take her for the night, then disappear forever. But something happened that threw off everything. Something that will change me for good. She got pregnant with my baby.

Working at the local processing plant, Marcos is in the business of slaughtering humans—though no one calls them that anymore. His wife has left him, his father is sinking into dementia, and Marcos tries not to think too hard about how he makes a living. After all, it happened so quickly. First, it was reported that an infectious virus has made all animal meat poisonous to humans. Then governments initiated the “Transition.” Now, eating human meat—“special meat”—is legal. Marcos tries to stick to numbers, consignments, processing. Then one day he’s given a gift: a live specimen of the finest quality. Though he’s aware that any form of personal contact is forbidden on pain of death, little by little he starts to treat her like a human being. And soon, he becomes tortured by what has been lost—and what might still be saved.

Book Description
Based on true events, 21Wyte&Free is a riveting account of a “Homeboy” who stepped out of his “Control Shell,” his “comfort zone,” to weave stories and tales of adventures outside of societal norms. It’s a gritty look at what capitalism, sex, drugs, money and tragedy, can make of a Man! Mesmerized by the power of money, he took up the mantel. This book is full of “fiery” tropes of street life along with its danger and trappings. He was handsome, charming and he wrote his own narrative. Using his intellect to rise among the “High Rollers,” he rose, fall and rose again. And with all said and done, he remained true to his “life’s vision.” No chains, laws or redemption kept him from his “adopted truths!”
