“THE SHARPEST AND MOST UNUSUAL STORY I READ LAST YEAR . . . [Mat] Johnson’s satirical vision roves as freely as Kurt Vonnegut’s and is colored with the same sort of passionate humanitarianism.”—Maud Newton, New York Times Magazine NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The Washington Post • Vanity Fair • Houston Chronicle • The Seattle Times • Salon • National Post • The A.V. Club Recently canned professor of American literature Chris Jaynes has just made a startling discovery: the manuscript of a crude slave narrative that confirms the reality of Edgar Allan Poe’s strange and only novel, The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket. Determined to seek out Tsalal, the remote island of pure and utter blackness that Poe describes, Jaynes convenes an all-black crew of six to follow Pym’s trail to the South Pole, armed with little but the firsthand account from which Poe derived his seafaring tale, a bag of bones, and a stash of Little Debbie snack cakes. Thus begins an epic journey by an unlikely band of adventurers under the permafrost of Antarctica, beneath the surface of American history, and behind one of literature’s great mysteries. “Outrageously entertaining, [Pym] brilliantly re-imagines and extends Edgar Allan Poe’s enigmatic and unsettling Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket. . . . Part social satire, part meditation on race in America, part metafiction and, just as important, a rollicking fantasy adventure . . . reminiscent of Philip Roth in its seemingly effortless blend of the serious, comic and fantastic.”—Michael Dirda, The Washington Post “Blisteringly funny.”—Laura Miller, Salon “Relentlessly entertaining.”—The New York Times Book Review “Imagine Kurt Vonnegut having a beer with Ralph Ellison and Jules Verne.”—Vanity Fair “Screamingly funny . . . Reading Pym is like opening a big can of whoop-ass and then marveling—gleefully—at all the mayhem that ensues.”—Houston Chronicle
West central Nebraska, late 1880s: Harriet Munro, a fiery woman lawyer, takes the case of beautiful young Roxanne - a desperate fugitive fleeing a trumped-up murder conviction and a hangman's noose. Harriet calls upon Lone McGantry, former Indian scout and tracker, to deliver Roxanne to Rainrock, a town in the northwest corner of Nebraska near the fabled Toadstool Badlands, where she will face re-trial. McGantry delivers the girl. However, town conspirators plot to divert justice yet again. Before it is over, trusts are betrayed, bullets fly, lives are lost, and McGantry rides again to Roxanne's rescue ... until, within the stark, hauntingly empty badlands, scores are settled and a bloody reckoning is finally achieved. Wayne Dundee lives in the once-notorious old cowtown of Ogallala, on the hinge of Nebraska's panhandle. He relocated there after spending the first fifty years of his life in the state line area of northern Illinois/southern Wisconsin. A widower, retired from a managerial position in the magnetics industry, Dundee now devotes full time to his writing. To date, Dundee has had six novels, three novellas, and over two dozen short stories published. All of the novels and most of the short stories have featured his PI protagonist, Joe Hannibal. He also writes in the fantasy, straight crime, and Western genres. His first Western novel, Dismal River, is due out in April 2011 from Oak Tree Press. Titles in the Hannibal series have been translated into several languages and nominated for an Edgar, an Anthony, and six Shamus Awards. Dundee is also the founder and original editor of Hardboiled Magazine.
Hired by the jealous wife of Terrible Tommy McGurk to look into the wrestler's activities when he's not in the ring, Detective Joe Hannibal uncovers a dangerous game of love and violence--beginning with sweet kisses and ending with a body-slam into sudden death.

"When you put on that badge, remember this. Every country has its medieval times. Murders, rapes, robberies, crime, war, slavery and horrors. When you put on that badge, you take all this on. These are America's medieval times..." - Chief Gustav Henri

A cache of stolen guns is hidden among the mystical rocks of Vedauwoo, Wyoming, and escaped convict Vilo Creed is hell-bent on raking in some easy money by selling the stash to Sioux sub-chief Kicking Bear for the Ghost Dance movement. Deputy U.S. Marshal Cash Laramie has been charged with finding Creed before the madman digs up the guns that'll fuel the fire of a major uprising. But will a run-in with a holed-up gang of train robbers and trying to protect a group of adventure-seeking rock climbers prevent Cash from stopping Creed in time? THE GUNS OF VEDAUWOO is the second Cash Laramie novel by Wayne D. Dundee, following on the heels of his bestselling MANHUNTER'S MOUNTAIN. Praise for Wayne D. Dundee and Manhunter's Mountain: "Dundee keeps the action moving along at a rapid pace, and as always, Cash Laramie is a compelling character, a testament to Cranmer's (Edward A. Grainger) creation of him in the first place." -- James Reasoner "Excellent hard-boiled western that does more than grip you with a strong story, but settles you among characters you'll miss when the last page is turned." -- Thomas Pluck "A solid, unflinching Western." -- Nigel Bird "Dundee doesn't write for the faint-hearted." -- Mel Odom "A fast, hardboiled Western that continues the Cash Laramie legend with swagger and good, solid writing." -- Larry Sweazy
