Book Description
"Amazingly charming" About the author Martha Finley (pen name: Martha Farquharson; April 26, 1828 - January 30, 1909) was an American teacher and author of numerous works for children, the best known being the 28-volume Elsie Dinsmore series which was published over a span of 38 years. Her books tend to be sentimental, with a strong emphasis on religious belief. The daughter of Presbyterian minister Dr. James Brown Finley and his wife and cousin Maria Theresa Brown Finley, she was born on April 26, 1828, in Chillicothe, Ohio. She died in 1909 in Elkton, Maryland. In the winter of 1853, Finley began her literary career by writing a newspaper story and a little book published by the Baptist Board of Publication. Many of her early works were short stories contributed to the children's sections of Sunday-school papers. Originally written anonymously, the stories' success led her publishers to ask her to include her name. At the time her family objected to her the publishing under her own name, so she chose "Martha Farquharson" as her pen name. Between 1856 and 1870, she wrote more than twenty Sunday school books and several series of juveniles, one series containing twelve books. These were followed by Casella (Philadelphia, 1869), Peddler of LaGrave, Old Fashioned Boy (Philadelphia, 1871), and Our Fred (New York City, 1874). It is through her "Elsie" and "Mildred" series that she became popular as a writer for the young. Finley did not write exclusively for the young. She wrote three novels, Wanted-A Pedigree (Philadelphia, 1879), Signing the Contract (New York, 1879), and Thorn in the Nest (New York. 1886). (wikipedia.org)

Book Description
The year is 2089. In an independent Scotland, Constable Harmon Chikenyyt is thrown into a world of drug-dealers and pimps. Their goal is simple: to use and sell as much of the hallucinogenic cannabinoid D.E.R.P. as possible. Suddenly, civil war breaks out in Belgium. The British Parliament decides to intervene with a band of Northern Irish mercenaries. As the civil war escalates, it becomes clear to Tara Blimmen that everything is connected; that each crime committed, whether in Scotland, the halls of Westminster, or Belgium, is a symptom of something far deadlier...In Antarctica, at a research station funded by the bank I.T.C.B. Holdings plc, pharmacologist Norvin Tubaniña has been tasked with understanding Martha-if that's even possible. "Zupp's bleak vision of the future is, unfortunately, all too convincing, and his darkly comic prose offers perhaps the best means of facing it as a possibility. This is a book for those who love the work of Kurt Vonnegut, early Thomas Pynchon, and David Foster Wallace."- Charlie Gere, Lancaster University "A freewheelingly scabrous, energetic and darkly funny tale, pinpricked with pathos and sympathy, all concealing a strange sort of seriousness. Probably the strangest and most scatologically unbridled book you'll read this year, and that's a recommendation."- George Green, author of Hound and Hawk "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas meets Dr. Strangelove; Zupp is to subversive fictional literature as Salvador Dali is to art in this future-real dissection of a world with characters as secular and loveless as our own. Martha is written with intelligence, wit, and a delightful sprinkling of absurdity for good measure."- K.T. Browne, author of The Strangled Hubris
