A New Kind of Living - Edited
A door slammed somewhere in the house, and Sam bolted upright in bed, his heart slamming like a jackhammer against his ribcage. He quickly looked over to his brother’s bed, whispering in an attempt to get his attention. “Caleb?”
~
This wasn’t the first, or the last time Sam Seabury would find himself in the waiting room of New Haven Correctional Center, sitting in a cold metal chair as he waited for his father to be allowed into the visitor’s area. That night was so long ago, and yet it was all that Sam could think about every time he was here. It played over and over in his mind, and it was almost a blessing when his father sat down heavily across from him.
Samuel Seabury Sr. was a heavyset man about the age of 40, although his sun kissed skin from years spent working outside made him look about 5 or 6 years older. His dark brown hair, although normally cropped just above his ears, was pulled back into a ponytail in an effort to remain presentable. He had a blossoming bruise on his cheek, as well as several other marks on the rest of his face and hands that proved his time in prison to be less than enjoyable. All of this, however, did not damper the shit-eating grin he seemed unable to wipe from his face; nor did he want to. He had everyone right where he wanted them.
~
“Always, always do as I say.” His dad chastised him, standing above Sam, who lay on the ground haphazardly. He wasn’t 100% sure how he had gotten on the ground, but he couldn’t help flinching when his father moved to pick him up. “I only want what’s best for you. Now go clean up your mess.”
~
Samuel Sr. had been in prison for a couple years now, and each and every visit with his son started out with the same couple words. “I can not wait to get out of here.” While his time in prison hadn’t the most cushiest of experiences, he always made it out to be worse than it was, no matter who he was talking to. He almost seemed to enjoy the look of guilt that passed over his son’s face every time he mentioned that he had been in another “fight”. Sam didn’t need to know that his father spent about an hour before their meetings making himself look worse for wear. All he needed to know was that his dad was still alive, and he wasn’t going to be free of him anytime soon.
Sam himself was dressed rather impeccably, his reddish brown hair freshly cut and styled back out of his face, and he was wearing what looked like a new blue and white checkered sweater vest, along with a white button-up and khaki pants. Someone might see him at a gas station and assume that he was on his way to some church service, but the reality was much harsher than that. His foster father had bought him the new outfit a couple weeks ago, and it had stayed in the box until this morning. Sam had wanted to impress his dad, and he didn’t have any newer or better looking outfits than this one.
Sam straightened his back when his father sat down, jerking suddenly and thankfully out of his thoughts, a small smile appearing on his face. He pushed his glasses up on his nose before folding his hands on the table in front of him. He’d already laid out a stack of papers on the table before his dad arrived, and had been anxiously working his way through a bottle of water before Samuel Sr. sat down. Now, he was watching his father as he silently looked through the pile of homework, waiting for him to speak first.
Instead of complimenting the good grades on top of his papers and tests, Samuel Sr. turned his sour gaze upon his young son, scanning him up and down as he looked for something to pick out. Finally his sourness turned into some kind of twisted smile as he finally found something.
“I didn’t buy you that vest.” Samuel Sr. said flatly, and continued before Sam could explain himself. It didn't matter that he hadn't been able to buy his son new clothes in almost two years. “I can only assume that Mr. Washington bought it for you. He really cares about you… You know, it’s been a long time. I hope you’re not trying to replace your dear old Papa.” He asked, and Sam quickly shook his head, shifting in his seat as he tried to defend himself.
“No-no, Papa, no. I hate it there. I hate him, he’s, ugh, he doesn’t really care. He just thinks buying me things will make me like him, or something. I told him not to buy the vest but he did it anyways.” He said, hoping that his father wouldn’t be too mad. “But I, you know, I thought- I know that it’s important to look nice, and make a good impression. And he did already buy it...” He said, hoping that maybe Samuel would let it slide, since he had fought against receiving the gift at all.
It was deadly silent for a moment, and Sam became hyper-focused on his father’s fingers tapping on the table, and when they suddenly stopped it took him a couple seconds to focus on his father’s voice again.
“.... right, Samuel.” His dad said, and Sam blinked a few times and leaned forward in an attempt to focus more. No matter how hard he fought against it, he couldn’t help disassociating when he was around the older man. “You’re old enough to get a job, nobody needs to be spoiling you anymore. You’re smart, so I don’t doubt that you’ll be able to find one by the time we meet again. And I expect you to keep up your grades without any trouble. Am I understood?” He finished, voice like a hammer on nails, and Sam nodded. He didn’t really want a job, knowing that he would only be burdened more by the work load. And his foster father probably wouldn’t let him get one anyways.
“Good boy, Samuel. Any father would be proud to have you as their son. Well, most of the time. You really need to work on your stutter.” He said, and Sam’s face lit up with the praise, almost feeling energized. He was good, he was okay, he was doing a good job, he was okay.
“I’m-I’m really trying, Papa! And I’ll get a job. And-and the lawyer, he said-” Sam’s ramblings, full of promises to continue doing a good job, were interrupted by his father’s hand slamming onto the metal table, reverberating throughout the room. Sam’s ears were jarred from it, and for a second he wondered if it had been him that was hit and not the table. He jumped in his chair as well, moving back away from him as he tried to calm down the beating in his chest.
“Don’t talk about that! You don’t need to worry about the lawyer, or about me getting out of here. You’re not smart enough to understand it, and you’ll probably mess it up by being too.. Sensitive or stuttering or something.” He said, his lip twisting in anger, shaking his head and making a show of being disappointed. “All you need to worry about is keeping your grades up and getting a job. Do you understand?” He said, voice sharp, and it obviously took some effort to keep it lowered to an acceptable volume.
Sam nodded meekly, not daring to say anything, keeping his eyes trained on the table and his hands in his lap, still taking quick scared breaths as he tried to calm down. It was obvious that he was on the verge of having a full scale panic attack, and he dug his nails into the palm of his hand in an attempt to calm down.
~
“Just close your eyes and hide under the blanket, alright?” Caleb whispered, crawling into Sam’s bed as quickly as he could and wrapping him in a protective hug, pulling the blanket over both of their heads in an attempt to block out the sound of their dad’s voice screaming at their mother from the living room. “Nothing can get to you, I promise.”
~
“Mr. Washington, why is it that I can’t have one single conversation with my son without the government’s favorite watchdog hovering over him?” His dad’s voice cut through his thoughts, and even though he was now paying attention to what was happening around him, he didn’t move or acknowledge the newest presence next to him in the slightest. If he had been looking, he would have seen his father crossing his arms over his chest and narrowing his eyes. While Sam was too far gone to really have an emotion other than thankfulness that his father had shown up out of the blue, he normally would have been annoyed. He had a tendency to view these small increments of time with his father as precious, and he didn’t want Washington to ruin them.
George pulled up a chair despite knowing how unwelcome he must have been, sitting down next to Sam and putting an arm on the back of his chair, making sure not to touch him. It was enough that Sam knew he was there and that he wasn’t alone, and although George wanted to pick him up and carry him away and never come back, he knew that it had to be done this way.
“I think if you could have a conversation without upsetting him, then we wouldn’t have a problem.” He said, keeping his voice as light as he could in a situation like this. “I’m sure that we don’t need to be reminded of the last time you…. Got out of hand.” He said, and a quick glance at Sam told him all he needed to know. It was time to leave, and to stop talking about this.
“A misunderstanding. I’m sure that Samuel explained it to you.” He paused, looking over at his son with something akin to affection, if the older man was even capable of it. “He fell asleep and hit his face on the table, it happens all the time with teenagers. Especially when they don’t have the right guardianship.” He said, and his voice was light as well, even with the heavy topic they were discussing.
“I think that it’s time to go.” He said, voice firm and directed at the man across from him, looking over at Sam and softening his tone as he continued. “Is that alright with you?” He asked, not wanting to force him into moving around when he wasn’t ready to.
“What, are you going to force him to leave early? To cut his already precious hours with his Papa short?” Samuel asked, obviously upset, leaning forward in his chair and raising his voice. “I never get to see him, just let me have this. Samuel, please, stay.” He almost took on a begging tone, turning his gaze to his son.
~
Sam climbed the tree in his backyard, quickly trying to catch up with his much older brother, who was teasing him for not being able to tag him. They’d only been in the tree for a couple minutes before the back door opened and they both froze, listening to feet on the stairs. “Boys, it’s time to come inside and do homework, I’m counting to three.” Sam, still only on the first branch, quickly hopped down and ran inside, making it just in time. Caleb never seemed to make it on time.
~
George had spent a lot of time trying to help Sam learn how to work through his panic attacks, and he knew what it looked like when he wasn’t going to come down from one anytime soon; however, so did his father. And while Sam was used to someone knowing all of his ticks and issues, that didn’t mean he liked the feeling.
He turned to face Sam fully, forcing a smile despite the fact that Sam wasn’t even willing to look at him. It was something that he was used to, even when his foster child was calm. Sam seemed to be the dictionary definition of an angsty teen, fighting George on everything he could. But George hadn’t decided to become a foster parent because it was easy, and he didn’t make a habit of giving up on something once he’d started. “It’s time to get going anyways, Sam. We’re going to be late picking up your brother soon.” He said, standing and smoothing a hand over Sam’s shoulders, before shoving both of his own hands in his pockets ashamedly when Sam practically jerked away. Despite the movement, however, Sam stood, giving his dad a quick apologetic smile.
Samuel stood as well, taking a step towards Sam as if to hug him. He was obviously still angry that they were leaving, and it showed in the way his jaw was clenched. George was very quick to step between them, putting a hand on Samuel Sr.’s chest. He wouldn’t dare hurt Sam in front of George, but that didn’t mean George was just going to let the other man touch his foster child. It was all just a show, of course, to upset Washington. Samuel Sr. had never been a fan of hugging, but he was a fan of making the man who took away his child angry.
“Absolutely not. Even if the court allowed it.” George said, quietly enough that he thought Sam couldn’t hear, face deadly serious.
Samuel stepped back, pushing George’s hand away, and Sam peeked around his caretaker’s shoulder, biting his lip nervously. His cheeks were still coming back from the shade of ghostly white they had been earlier.
“I’m sorry, Papa. I love you.” He said softly, giving him a gentle wave as his foster father maneuvered him gently towards the door. He felt a little guilty, like he always did when they had to turn around and leave his father behind. Sam was worried that one day he’d show up only to find that his father had been let out or killed in his cell or something like that, leaving Sam all alone.
~
The front door slammed shut, almost clipping Caleb’s heels, as if saying one last goodbye. Sam would get used to being alone.
~
As soon as they made it into the car, George let out a sigh, leaning back against the seat. “I’m really sorry that that happened.” He said, turning to look at Sam, only to find him unresponsive and staring out the window. “I mean, I’m sorry that I couldn’t get you out of there sooner.”
“He didn’t even do anything wrong, you’re just jealous that I like him better.” Sam retorted, and George couldn’t help how much that hurt. He thought that maybe he’d gotten somewhere with his foster son, but it was obvious that his work was going thankless as usual. “I don’t get why I can’t hang out with him for as long as I want. It’s not like he’d even do anything anyways.”
George sighed, running a hand over his face and putting the car in drive, not looking at him as he pulled out of the parking lot and onto the busy highway. This was an argument that they’d had many times. “Sam, you know why. I don’t have to remind you; and I don’t want to.” He said, voice soft. A quick glance at Sam, despite the traffic, proved to be more painful than it was helpful, watching as he reached up and skimmed his fingers over one of the scars that arched just above his collar, the skin twisted and painful-looking, and he seemed to wince almost from the memory. He’d hardly ever shown any part of his skin since George had known him, making sure to wear hoods and jeans, even in the summer. He knew that most of them were from his father, but it was no secret that he’d been stuck in some scary foster homes before coming to George’s house. George quickly looked away, not wanting to think about it, trying not to stare as he turned a corner.

Muppet Hamilton
Sometimes you hear about a piece of online comedy and think, "Well, that's a one-note gag. Sounds OK, but there's no way I'll sit through the whole thing."
That's how I felt about Ricky Downes III's "Hamilton Act 1 but it's Muppets."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZzDP-vQXao
Then I listened to it.
It turns out that REALLY committing to the bit is the difference between a one-note joke and a jaw-dropping 1:12:27 of absolutely stunning, freakishly good, howl-with-laughterness.
If you doubt it, I challenge you to listen to the Swedish Chef as Samuel Seabury in "Farmer Refuted." At first, you'll be like, "No, he doesn't just go bork-bork-bork the whole time, does he?" and then it's like, "O. M. F. G. He actually did it."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZzDP-vQXao&t=1029s
Cast: Alexander Hamilton - Kermit the Frog Aaron Burr - The Great Gonzo Eliza Schuyler - Miss Piggy Marquis de LaFozette - Fozzie Bear George Washington - Sam the Eagle Angelica Schuyler - Camilla the Chicken John Laurens - Beaker Hercules Mulligan - Rowlf the Dog King George III - Animal Peggy Schuyler - Janice Samuel Seabury - The Swedish Chef Charles Lee - Elmo Congressional Delegates - Floyd and Zoot Crazy Patriot - Crazy Harry Statler and Waldorf - Themselves
Downes has promised to release Act II on Jul 31 to coincide with the Muppets debut on Disney+.

Ace of Hamilton
Inspired by @tendou-tho’s Hamilton x Haikyuu. I don't think a lot of people are in both fandoms, but we're doing this anyway. Creative freedom y'all.
---------------
Starring...
Miyuki Kazuya as Alexander Hamilton
Harada Masatoshi as Aaron Burr
Yui Kaoru as John Laurens/Philip Hamilton
Kamiya Carlos Toshiki as Marquis de Lafayette/Thomas Jefferson
Maezono Kenta as Hercules Mulligan/James Madison
Kuramochi Youichi as Angelica Schuyler
Sawamura Eijun as Elizabeth Schuyler
Furuya Satoru as Peggy Schuyler/Maria Reynolds
Takigawa Chris Yuu as George Washington
Tanba Koichiro as Samuel Seabury
Todoroki Raichi as Charles Lee
Sanada Shunpei as James Reynolds/The Doctor
Okumura Koushuu as George Eacker
Narumiya Mei as King George III
Kominato Haruichi as The Bullet
----------
Behind the scenes!
Tetsu and Jun are the director/assistant directors
The managers (Takako, Sacchin, Yui, Haruno, Anna and Akane) are managers! They're in charge of costume, set and props.
Ryousuke used to be the bullet, but Haruichi has since taken over that role. Ryou steps in whenever needed and has also become an understudy for the side antagonists (Seabury, Eacker, etc.)
(I don't really know what to call them, so "side antagonists" it is)
Itsuki is Harada's understudy for Burr.
The Kominatos' hair stands out a lot, but they tried wigs one time and promptly decided against it.
Furuya is super stiff in the beginning, but he has a good voice for Maria, so they kept working with him until he was less awkward.
In the first part of "The Schuyler Sisters", he's not really petulant, but more resigned/tired.
Okumura gets WAY too into badmouthing Miyuki and duelling Yui. On the bright side, that means his performance is immaculate.
Tanba gets messed up doing "Farmer Refuted" in rehearsals so many damn times
Sawamura's rendition of "Burn" is godly. He also does very convincing fake crying.
Mei is basically the reincarnation of King George III. He's also very distracting prancing around the sides in Act II. Harada keeps telling him to "quit showing off"
The cast almost definitely messes around backstage or between shows. They swap roles and mess up the choreography while the actual actors of said roles shake their heads on the sidelines.
Somebody took two of the prop guns and now there's a dramatic mock duel happening in the middle of nowhere. One of them is still in their socks and the other is wearing half their costume. Someone is humming “Ten Duel Commandments” as background music to the duel. Sacchin is looking for those props and is very mad.
----------
A look into the casting process…
The decision on who to cast as Washington was a toss-up between Tetsu and Chris.
A lot of interactions in the canon series were considered!
For example, Misawa as Hamilton/Eliza and Kuramochi being Eijun's big brother (or in this case, sister) figure.
Those were some of the casting decisions I had since the start, along with ones like Maezono as Mulligan/Madison, Mei as King George III, and either Kominato as the Bullet.
Roles that gave me a thousand and one headaches were Burr, Laurens, Lafayette, Peggy, Lee, Reynolds and Eacker.
Deciding on Okumura as Eacker and Yui as Philip was an eureka moment for me. Both decisions were made at the same time. I totally forgot about The Laurens-Lee duel, but not everything can fit perfectly anyway. I must admit I got very excited at the prospect of Okumura duelling Yui. Rather fitting, isn’t it?
I'd like to think that the others who didn't get roles are ensemble, backstage crew or technicians.
I didn't wanna cast characters from schools outside of Seido at first, but I COULD NOT stop thinking about Mei as King George III and it just. It had to be done.
The initial inspiration I had for this was actually the Kominatos as the Schuyler sisters, with Ryou as Angelica and Haruichi as Eliza, in which case Hamilton might've been Mochi. But that was more of a funny "what-if" which I didn't expand on very much.

Hamilton 😉
;)))))))))))))))) you’re my favorite
favorite male character: Is it boring to say Hamilton himself? I just love him. He’s such an absolute disaster. A human catastrophe.
favorite female character: I really do love Eliza with all my heart. All of it. Whenever she sings, it makes me cry instantly. That AND she is like the epitome if kindness does not make you stupid. She is kind and strong and I love her.
least favorite character: Like!!! Even the antagonists are great!!!! How could I shit on Jefferson and his fucking magenta dream suit? Ummm.... Samuel Seabury??? I guess?? For being annoying?
prettiest character: ANGELICA. Alt: Lafayette.
funniest character: Hamilton again. If for NOTHING else but his tiny little “oh shit” to Aaron Burr in that one part.
favorite season: Let’s just call this act I vs act II, and it’s act II because I like pain and suffering
favorite episode: We’ll call this favorite song, and it’s either Non-Stop OR Wait For It
favorite romantic ship: I KNOW THIS IS BORING but honnnnnestly Hamilton/Eliza is complicated and I like it. I, um, also have read my fair share of Ham/Burr. Ham/Laurens.
favorite family ship: Schuyler sisters. Angelica being the Best Sister.
favorite friend ship: Hahahahahah Jefferson & Madison? Everyone needs their hype man.
worst ship: Washington/Burr??????? idk, honestly.

THE 1789 BOOK OF COMMON PRAYER
09/11/2016
BY SJECWARRENTON
THE 1789 BOOK OF COMMON PRAYER
At a service during the bicentennial year, the rite of Holy Communion will be read from the 1789 edition of the American Book of Common Prayer, as used when Saint James’ Church was established in Warrenton in 1816. During the intervening two-hundred years, there have been three revisions of the Prayer Book – the most recent of which was in 1979. The order of service has changed, but much of the eloquent language remains familiar throughout the various revisions.
Historically, the service of Holy Communion as given in the 1789 American Book of Common Prayer is derived from the Scottish Episcopal Church, rather than from the Church of England. During the colonial period, there were no bishops in America; clergy in the colonies were accountable to England. However, when William III and Mary II came to the throne in 1688, all the Scottish bishops (and a number of English bishops) refused to swear allegiance to the new king and queen. Thus the Scottish Episcopal Church was established, independent of the Church of England.
Upon the colonies gaining independence, the American church turned to the independent Scottish Episcopal Church where, in 1784, Samuel Seabury of Connecticut was consecrated (by Scottish bishops) as the first bishop in the American Episcopal Church, thereby having avoided swearing allegiance to the English monarchy, as all Church of England bishops were required to do.
The sacrament of Holy Communion used in the Episcopal Church of Scotland in 1764 formed the basis for the Order for the Administration of the Lord’s Supper as found in the American 1789 Book of Common Prayer, and subsequent revisions of the American Eucharist service therefore bore more resemblance to the Scottish liturgy than to the English.

So I saw Hamilton recently and there were a few things about seeing the show live that made it so much better than just listening to it.
In Farmer Refuted after Burr got in between Ham and Seabury and says “let him be” and then does the little behind-the-back high five thing with Samuel
They didn’t do that thing where Hams climbed up onto Seabury’s box and Seabury pushed him off and Hams clung to his arm but honestly it was okay because it was still funny
The first time King George came onstage there was this red light that spread across the stage like a bloodstain it was super super cool
Later in the song when George goes “everybody!” the ensemble members come scrambling onstage like they missed the cue and everyone’s running around and it’s really funny
When Burr says “GEORGE WASHINGTON” in Right Hand Man and also later with “HERCULES MULLIGAN” in Yorktown they did this thing with the lights where they like swept across the stage and it was really cool
Just. All of the Guns And Ships and Yorktown choreography holy hell it was amazing
Like when Washington was writing that letter to Hams in Guns and Ships there was an actual “letter” being passed between the ensemble members in the background until it got to Eliza on the other side of the stage
Also the first time Laf showed up in his fancy new General uniform in Guns and Ships my brain just went “that’s my son look at how important he looks”
In What Comes Next King George starts out under red lighting but then he says “I’m so blue” and stomps his foot like a little kid and the lights turn blue
In Non-Stop there’s this one part where there are a bunch of ensemble members sitting onstage with Burr and they’re facing backwards and Burr turns around to face the audience and says “he’s just non-stop” with an exasperated expression
When Jefferson is first introduced and he’s coming down the staircase there are ensemble members sort of scrubbing the floor and when they notice him there they all scramble into a line to greet him I think they were supposed to be his slaves
The lighting in the beginning of Take a Break made it look like Hams was separated or isolated from Eliza and Philip like it was dark in the middle and they were different colors
Also our Philip seemed pretty unwilling to do his 9-year-old poem or maybe he blanked on his line for a second it was like “.....mynameisPhilip”
In Say No To This (especially towards the end) there are a lot of ensemble members like running towards Hams and Maria but then being kind of “deflected” off idk how to describe it
Also there’s this part where Hams and Maria are standing across the stage from each other and there’s a line of ensemble members in between them and as she’s walking towards him they sort of fall out of the way
At the very end of The Room Where It Happens Burr is left all alone on the stage for “click-boom” and the light is on him from behind and it’s wide on “click” and it narrows on “boom” and turns off on the final chord stab
There’s a bit after I Know Him where King George is still sitting onstage and as everyone else is singing The Adams Administration he’s just sitting off to the side dancing
In Hurricane almost the entire cast is onstage but Hams is the only one in the light in the middle everyone else is off to the side and everything is blue and swirly
Near the end of Hurricane Hams starts to raise his quill into the air and then he says “The Reynolds Pamphlet” and as the beat drops for The Reynolds Pamphlet he slams his quill down on the table
I have no idea why King George was there during throwing papers at Hams in The Reynolds Pamphlet but he was and it was funny
Then in Blow Us All Away the stage starts out pretty bright but then when Philip gets shot everything goes dark except for him and Eacker and they’re on the spinny thing in the middle and everything is frozen and as Philip spins around the circle there are ensemble members who like lift him up and put him on his death table
The choreography in The World Was Wide Enough was incredible like Hams and Burr were on the spinny thing and the ensemble on the outside was going through all of the major choreography bits from before in the show but without music and oml it was incredible
Also the two girls sitting behind me cried through almost the entirety of Act II
Also huge props to the two people standing in the corner below the stage frantically signing in time with the lyrics for all the deaf/hoh audience members
This was really long I’m sorry

20) Favorite Act II song?
Say No To This. Holy shit I love that one. I dream of being Maria Reynolds in a show.

New Release Roundup, 13 October 2018: Fantasy and Adventure
This week’s roundup of the newest releases in fantasy and adventure features ancient conspiracy theories, Saxon warriors, a Comanche rescue, the ultraviolent Goblin Slayer, and Haruki Murakami’s newest novel.
The Aryan Agenda (Harvey Bennett #6) – Nick Thacker
Ancient conspiracy theories. Neo-Nazis. Nonstop action.
Harvey Bennett and his CSO team receive a distress call from their friend, Sarah Lindgren:
Her father has been kidnapped. Worse, she believes his kidnapping is only the tip of the iceberg.
From Santorini to Egypt, Michigan to Athens, The Aryan Agenda is a nail-biting mystery/thriller of epic proportions!
Harvey Bennett is back in his most intense adventure yet.
Dragon Storm (Dragonwalker #5) – D. K. Holmberg
A war long thought over has returned, and this time the empire is not equipped to survive. Still, the dragons are safe, living in the heart of the forest near an ancient Deshazl settlement. Though hidden from the Damhur who would control them, Fes feels they deserve more and longs to see them fly free again.
When another attack leaves the empire weakened, Fes and a few friends search for allies. Finding those allies is key, but who can they trust? With the most recent attack, the likelihood of defeat looms close, and without help, they will certainly fail.
Worse, not all is as it seems. The war that has raged for centuries has left a far more lasting effect than any have ever known. The empire must be secured, and only then can Fes take the next step in ending the war—this time for good. But if he can’t protect the dragons, how can he defend against the Damhur?
Ghost in the Amulet (Ghost Night #3) – Jonathan Moeller
Caina Amalas was once a deadly Ghost nightfighter, a spy and agent of the Emperor of Nighmar.
For all her life, Caina has run from the memory of her cruel mother.
But her mother was merely the weakest member of a family of powerful and ruthless sorcerers.
Now Caina has the Ring of the ancient necromancer-king Rasarion Yagar, and her aunt Talmania Scorneus is hunting for her.
And to take the Ring, Talmania is willing to kill Caina and everyone close to her…
Goblin Slayer, Volume 5 – Kumo Kagyu
A young priestess has formed her first adventuring party, but almost immediately they find themselves in distress. It’s the Goblin Slayer who comes to their rescue–a man who’s dedicated his life to the extermination of all goblins, by any means necessary. And when rumors of his feats begin to circulate, there’s no telling who might come calling next…
A young noblewoman has disappeared while out on a goblin hunting quest. When Goblin Slayer and his party set out to find her, they are stunned to discover a horde of goblins have built their nest within an ancient dwarven fortress…and these ones even appear to be followers of some primitive, sadistic cult! But what troubles Goblin Slayer most of all is their leader, who is stronger and more intelligent than any goblin he’s faced before…
Grit – Ron Scwab
“Grit” McKay survived the bloodiest battles of the Civil War without incurring as much as a single scratch on his body. When money became hard to come by after the war, he began taking jobs to recover white children that had been abducted by raiding bands of Comanche.
Jessie Hamilton’s twin sister, Jennie, was taken by the Comanche when the girls were ten years old. Even though she has been separated from her sister for fourteen years—was Jennie even still alive?—Jessie still feels a powerful connection with her sister, and she is determined to find out what happened to her . . . with the help of Grit McKay.
Overflowing with breathtaking adventure, Ron Schwab’s latest Western novel has as many twists and turns as the trails Grit McKay must carefully navigate in his search for Jennie Hamilton.
Killing Commendatore – Haruki Murakami
In Killing Commendatore, a thirty-something portrait painter in Tokyo is abandoned by his wife and finds himself holed up in the mountain home of a famous artist, Tomohiko Amada. When he discovers a previously unseen painting in the attic, he unintentionally opens a circle of mysterious circumstances. To close it, he must complete a journey that involves a mysterious ringing bell, a two-foot-high physical manifestation of an Idea, a dapper businessman who lives across the valley, a precocious thirteen-year-old girl, a Nazi assassination attempt during World War II in Vienna, a pit in the woods behind the artist’s home, and an underworld haunted by Double Metaphors. A tour de force of love and loneliness, war and art—as well as a loving homage to The Great Gatsby—Killing Commendatore is a stunning work of imagination from one of our greatest writers.
A Rival From the Grave – (The Complete Tales of Jules de Grandin #4) – Seabury Quinn
Today the names of H. P. Lovecraft, Robert E. Howard, August Derleth, and Clark Ashton Smith, all regular contributors to the pulp magazine Weird Tales during the first half of the twentieth century, are recognizable even to casual readers of the bizarre and fantastic. And yet despite being more popular than them all during the golden era of genre pulp fiction, there is another author whose name and work have fallen into obscurity: Seabury Quinn.
Quinn’s short stories were featured in well more than half of Weird Tales’s original publication run. His most famous character, the supernatural French detective Dr. Jules de Grandin, investigated cases involving monsters, devil worshippers, serial killers, and spirits from beyond the grave, often set in the small town of Harrisonville, New Jersey. In de Grandin there are familiar shades of both Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes and Agatha Christie’s Hercule Poirot, and alongside his assistant, Dr. Samuel Trowbridge, de Grandin’s knack for solving mysteries—and his outbursts of peculiar French-isms (grand Dieu!)—captivated readers for nearly three decades.
Collected for the first time in trade editions, The Complete Tales of Jules de Grandin, edited by George Vanderburgh, presents all ninety-three published works featuring the supernatural detective. Presented in chronological order over five volumes, this is the definitive collection of an iconic pulp hero. The fourth volume, A Rival from the Grave, will include all the stories from “The Chosen of Vishnu” (1933) to “Incense of Abomination” (1938), as well as an introduction by George Vanderburgh and Robert Weinberg and a foreword by Mike Ashley.
A Sellsword’s Valor (The Seven Virtues #4) – Jacob Peppers
Belgarin’s forces have retreated, but in the city of Perennia there is no rejoicing. The air is filled with the mourning cries of survivors, and the wind that blows through the city carries the smell of freshly dug graves and death.
As the city grieves, Aaron and his companions attempt to hold together an alliance that threatens to crumble around them. While the alliance’s leaders bicker and argue, Boyce Kevlane, an ancient wizard bent on revenge, has taken Belgarin’s place as king and uses his twisted powers to create an army out of nightmare.
To stand a chance of keeping the coalition together, Aaron is forced to venture into Baresh, a city gripped by madness and terror, in search of proof of the coming danger.
To survive, Aaron will be forced to call on his friends and the growing power of his bond with a creature of myth. Yet even this may not be enough. For there are other powers in the world, darker ones, and there is no telling what secrets the shadows hold.
StoryHack Action & Adventure #3 -edited by Bryce Beattie
Proof that short fiction can still be exciting. StoryHack is a magazine focusing on action and adventure fiction in a wide variety of genres.
In this issue, you’ll read:
Claws of the Puma by Paul R. McNamee – In the rainforests of Brazil, poaching loggers and traditional rubber tree tappers are at war. Journalist Sarah Stoughton gets more than she bargained for when she is caught up in the violence, and comes face to face with the legendary man of the jungle, the Puma.
Shoot First by Jay Barnson – Flint and another agent are assigned to confiscate a dangerous cursed magical artifact from a street gang, only to find that the entire operation was a set-up by a local crime boss and an analyst from within the Order.
Inside the Demon’s Eye by JD Cowan – A young adventurer searches the Black Lands for a lifesaving treasure. He may not get the chance to find it, as he is being stalked by a malevolent force.
The Dealer’s Tale by Jon Mollison – A pregnant blackjack dealer walks a deadly line as she prepares to betray her mafia-owned boss to the feds.
…and more!
War of the Wolf (The Saxon Tales #11) – Bernard Cornwell
His blood is Saxon His heart is Viking His battleground is England
While Uhtred might have regained his family’s fortress, it seems that a peaceful life is not to be – as he is under threat from both an old enemy and a new foe. The old enemy comes from Wessex where a dynastic struggle will determine who will be the next king. And the new foe is Sköll, a Norseman, whose ambition is to be King of Northumbria and who leads a frightening army of wolf-warriors, men who fight half-crazed in the belief that they are indeed wolves. Uhtred, believing he is cursed, must fend off one enemy while he tries to destroy the other. In this new chapter of the Saxon Tales series—a rousing adventure of courage, treachery, duty, devotion, majesty, love and battle, as seen through the eyes of a warrior straddling two worlds—Uhtred returns to fight once again for the destiny of England.
