The Little Brother
Author: Bill Eidson
Publisher: Open Road Media
ISBN: 1497605253
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 213
Book Description
Bill Eidson’s first novel is an early and frightening look at the concept of identity theft. When Boston-based dive shop owner, Rod Konrad, runs short of money, he decides to share his apartment. Bette, his girlfriend, isn’t ready to move in, so he places an ad for a roommate. Brendan is nice enough—as nice as a stranger invading your home can be. He certainly takes to Rod. But isn't he trying too hard? He talks like Rod, acts like him, and is always just a little too close. Left unchecked, he’ll not only steal Rod’s clothes—but his life. THE LITTLE BROTHER is a fast, dark thriller that tackles the very concept of who we are. "Ever advertised for a roommate, and feared the stranger who is about to share your digs is a psychopath? Go ahead; scare yourself to death." —Hartford Courant "One of the joys of reviewing is the discovery of a major new talent. [Bill Eidson has]...constructed a fascinating, terrifying psychological profile that ranks with the best and needs to be recognized by awards committees. Highly recommended." —Mystery News "There is something undeniably intriguing about the relentlessness and almost gleeful inventiveness that Nolan...brings to his demented, homicidal obsession..." —The Washington Post "It will make you avoid dark hallways and sense something sinister behind a friendly stranger's smile. The novel crawls with suspense. If the story grips you, THE LITTLE BROTHER may have you by the throat." —The Pittsburgh Press

Book Description
Dear Reader, Being trapped in a bedroom with a woman is a grand thing. Being trapped in hundreds of bedrooms over two thousand years isn't. And being cursed into a book as a love-slave for eternity can ruin even a Spartan warrior's day. As a love-slave, I know everything about women. How to touch them, how to savor them, and most of all, how to pleasure them. But when I was summoned to fulfill Grace Alexander's sexual fantasies, I found the first woman in history who saw me as a man with a tormented past. She alone bothered to take me out of the bedroom and onto the world. She taught me to love again. But I was not born to love. I was cursed to walk eternity alone. As a general, I had long ago accepted my sentence. Yet now I have found Grace--the one thing my wounded heart cannot survive without. Sure, love can heal all wounds, but can it break a two-thousand-year-old curse? Julian of Macedon

Pages : 225
Book Description
Bikers are typically portrayed on film as dangerous, rebellious outlaws. But, to be fair, they have also been portrayed as cool, philosophical thinkers and confused, sensitive hunks. American-International handled the earliest portrayals in Motorcycle Gang and Dragstrip Riot in the fifties, and then satirized them in Eric Von Ripper and his gang in the beach movies that were popular in the sixties. From then on, biker films were known for their shock value, and when they lost their shock value, they ran out of road. This filmography covers 58 biker films, and provides a synopsis, an analysis by the author, and cast and production credits for each film. Included are such films as Angel Unchained, The Angry Breed, The Born Losers, C.C. and Company, Chrome and Hot Leather, The Dirt Gang, Easy Rider, Five the Hard Way, The Hard Ride, Hell's Angels on Wheels, Hell's Chosen Few, The Limit, The Loners, The Miniskirt Mob, Motor Psycho, Outlaw Riders, Rebel Rousers, The Savage Seven, The Takers, The Wild Angels, The Wild Rebels, and Wild Riders.

The 70s were a game changer, so read the trilogy and find out how and why.” --Pamela Jaye Smith, Award-winning novelist. “The Hipsters Trilogy novels are not only great murder-mysteries, but captivating expose of the 1960s psychedelic drug revolution through to the cocaine-fueled 1980s." -- Richard Lowry, Emmy-winning producer and writer. PITCH: "Detective Gil Nelson and Wade Adams are back, and this time they’re the ones being hunted." When a biker gang member’s body is found hanging from a tree by his ankle, his head submerged in a river, the police know this is no run-of-the-mill murder.
