Book Description
Picking up a hitchhiker can be a risky business. It can also be just a kind stranger that needs help, but if you're unlucky, it can be just someone like James Waybern Hall, the Hitchhiker from Hell. Learn more about the life of this serial killer and his heinous crimes! James Waybern Hall isn't quite as well known as some other mass murderers, but his crimes are just as heinous. Waybern picked most of his victims at random out on the open road. His method was simple: he would smile, raise a thumb into the air, and see if he could catch a ride. Before too long, this amiable hitchhiker led a trail of death and destruction in his wake. Although it is unclear just how many people he killed, it was on charges of murdering his second wife Fayrene Hall, that this killer would finally be brought to justice. In this book, we will closely chronicle all of the dastardly doings of this little-known serial killer.

Book Description
Of all the stranger souls I've met none are stranger than these, & none stranger than me. The thing is all these selves ...are me That say's it all. Stranger Souls is the fragmentation of a personality, mine. I am the killer, the vampire, the drunk, the lover, the star. As are you. The farther I go in, the further I reach out. At this point most authors might give a synopsis or an overview of the stories, tell you his favorite ones, or the genesis of each. Stranger Souls is a pastiche of genre's, science fiction, sword and sorcery are represented as well as traditional fiction to create a whole. Each story is a crossroads, where the characters meet to try and understand the strategies each employs to avoid the void, as it were, to fill the hole we all feel within ourselves. The world presented may resemble a world you think you're familiar with, but it isn't. The whole being created is a replication of the known world to explore a truth of life. There are two 'cycles' within the stories. The first cycle takes place in neighborhood bar from the perspective of its different customers. There's also the Hollywood cycle, that attempts to study fame and the seeking of fame and how it affects the people involved. Stranger Souls is a journey from the darker aspects of life and ourselves, to the light, and trying to reconcile that darkness with happiness.

Book Description
The Hitchhiker in Time columns were the single most popular things ever written by Shawn M. Tomlinson, which honestly doesn't say all that much. All together, they appeared in fewer than 10 newspapers between 1988 and 2001. Well, multiple copies of those newspapers, of course. The highest circulation was approximately 40,000, so not exactly Bob Greene levels. Still, Tomlinson had a following with these columns and to a great extent, they hold up well today. Either that or Tomlinson would like to think so. Many of these columns appeared in chapbooks over the years, but this is the first full collection of them to be in print.

Book Description
(Applause Books). Based on the novel by Hunter S. Thompson, this is the screenplay of the movie. Includes thoughts by both Tony Grisoni and Terry Gilliam. "Transferred to the screen by Gilliam with a fidelity to the author's imagery ... here it is in all its splendiferous funhouse terror; the closest sensory approximation of an acid trip ever achieved by a mainstream movie."
