Newly departed Crystal Ball has her hands full investigating her own murder, but she shifts focus to her great-grandmother’s disappearance in order to recover a missing family heirloom in time for her niece’s wedding. At first, Harlow Grayson refuses to take part in Crystal’s crazy scheme aboard a resurrected riverboat with iffy connections. But the lure of an entire month free of Crystal’s ghostly presence should they succeed reels her in like clickbait. When Harlow activates Crystal’s multicolored pen, she maneuvers between the physical and ethereal worlds and discovers not all is as it seems. Against the backdrop of 1920s glitz and glamor, cracks in the Starlight Riverboat’s makeup are showing. Can the sleuths solve the mystery and escape before things get out of hand? This mystery short side jaunt occurs during the first Ask Crystal Ball holiday novella, For Santa’s Sake, Harlow! and was first published in the Spirits in the Water short story anthology by Untethered Realms in 2017.
Let the Haunting Begin… The Local Rag newspaper is so slow, senior staff writer Harlow Grayson has nothing to do but talk to her dead co-worker, Crystal Ball. Desperate for a story, the pair follow a lead about headstone tipping to the local cemetery. Turned around in the expansive grounds, they find help from a homeless man scrubbing gravestones. When that man later arrives at the newspaper with tales of supernatural assault, Harlow dismisses it as fake news. The same old stories made the rounds every Halloween. But when the man’s body turns up on the Local Rag’s doorstep, Harlow can’t ignore it. After dismissing his story, her conscience insists she investigate his murder (along with some prodding from Crystal). As the two investigate the first murder, the local busybody turns up dead at the cemetery. From there, the two cases intertwine tighter than fake spider webbing. Can the amateur sleuths unravel the clues before the killer strikes again?

Right from the start, Bigger Thomas had been headed for jail. It could have been for assault or petty larceny; by chance, it was for murder and rape. Native Son tells the story of this young black man caught in a downward spiral after he kills a young white woman in a brief moment of panic. Set in Chicago in the 1930s, Wright's powerful novel is an unsparing reflection on the poverty and feelings of hopelessness experienced by people in inner cities across the country and of what it means to be black in America.
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A gripping memoir about the nature of addiction and the meaning of recovery from a bold and talented literary voice. “Anyone who has ever felt broken and wished for a better life will find inspiration in Frey’s story.” —People “A great story.... You can't help but cheer his victory.” —Los Angeles Times Book Review By the time he entered a drug and alcohol treatment facility, James Frey had taken his addictions to near-deadly extremes. He had so thoroughly ravaged his body that the facility’s doctors were shocked he was still alive. The ensuing torments of detoxification and withdrawal, and the never-ending urge to use chemicals, are captured with a vitality and directness that recalls the seminal eye-opening power of William Burroughs’s Junky. But A Million Little Pieces refuses to fit any mold of drug literature. Inside the clinic, James is surrounded by patients as troubled as he is—including a judge, a mobster, a one-time world-champion boxer, and a fragile former prostitute to whom he is not allowed to speak—but their friendship and advice strikes James as stronger and truer than the clinic’s droning dogma of How to Recover. James refuses to consider himself a victim of anything but his own bad decisions, and insists on accepting sole accountability for the person he has been and the person he may become—which runs directly counter to his counselors' recipes for recovery. James has to fight to find his own way to confront the consequences of the life he has lived so far, and to determine what future, if any, he holds. It is this fight, told with the charismatic energy and power of One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest, that is at the heart of A Million Little Pieces: the fight between one young man’s will and the ever-tempting chemical trip to oblivion, the fight to survive on his own terms, for reasons close to his own heart.

“The Contrast“, which premiered at New York City's John Street Theater in 1787, was the first American play performed in public by a professional theater company. The play, written by New England-born, Harvard-educated, Royall Tyler was timely, funny, and extremely popular. When the play appeared in print in 1790, George Washington himself appeared at the head of its list of hundreds of subscribers. Reprinted here with annotated footnotes by historian Cynthia A. Kierner, Tyler’s play explores the debate over manners, morals, and cultural authority in the decades following American Revolution. Did the American colonists' rejection of monarchy in 1776 mean they should abolish all European social traditions and hierarchies? What sorts of etiquette, amusements, and fashions were appropriate and beneficial? Most important, to be a nation, did Americans need to distinguish themselves from Europeans—and, if so, how? Tyler was not the only American pondering these questions, and Kierner situates the play in its broader historical and cultural contexts. An extensive introduction provides readers with a background on life and politics in the United States in 1787, when Americans were in the midst of nation-building. The book also features a section with selections from contemporary letters, essays, novels, conduct books, and public documents, which debate issues of the era.
