Hollow Kingdomby Kira Jane Buxton

A finalist for the 2020 Thurber Prize for American Humor!

"The Secret Life of Pets meets The Walking Dead" in this big-hearted, boundlessly beautiful romp through the Apocalypse, where a foul-mouthed crow is humanity's only chance to survive Seattle's zombie problem (Karen Joy Fowler, PEN/Faulkner Award-winning author).

S.T., a domesticated crow, is a bird of simple pleasures: hanging out with his owner Big Jim, trading insults with Seattle's wild crows (i.e. "those idiots"), and enjoying the finest food humankind has to offer: Cheetos ®.

But when Big Jim's eyeball falls out of his head, S.T. starts to think something's not quite right. His tried-and-true remedies–from beak-delivered beer to the slobbering affection of Big Jim's loyal but dim-witted dog, Dennis–fail to cure Big Jim's debilitating malady. S.T. is left with no choice but to abandon his old life and venture out into a wild and frightening new world with his trusty steed Dennis, where he suddenly discovers that the neighbors are devouring one other. Local wildlife is abuzz with rumors of Seattle's dangerous new predators.

Humanity's extinction has seemingly arrived, and the only one determined to save it is a cowardly crow whose only knowledge of the world comes from TV.

What could possibly go wrong?

There Must Be A Better Wayby Jim Riviello

We live in a world full of noise. We are told to succeed. We ask ourselves if we are a success. Day and night we are bombarded with something outside of ourselves to buy or attain so that we can succeed.

Most of the time, we think that our lives are too complex, too difficult, and too unique to become better by “small” changes. You hold in your hands the story of one man’s journey as he discovers through everyday experiences that this belief is just not true.

Jim doesn’t offer magic bullets or secret formulas for success because there isn’t any. Truth be told, success—your personal success—is revealed to you by focusing on the “small” internal changes you can authentically make every single day.

The Better Way we are all searching for is within each of us. It’s not reserved for a special few, and it doesn’t require sacrifice. The Better Way only requires you to constantly choose it, because it has already chosen you.

Gaslighting & Narcissistic Abuse Recovery: How You Can Recover from Emotional Abuse, Recognize Narcissists & Manipulators and Break Free Once and for Allby Don Barlow

Break free from the lies and manipulation that are keeping you captive

You’re positive you saw a flirty text from another woman on your husband’s phone. Yet, when you confront him, he tells you you’re imagining things and being paranoid.

A co-worker sarcastically mentions that you’re not contributing enough to the big project. When you get offended, they say they were just joking and that you’re too sensitive.

Your mother constantly criticizes your weight. When you bring up her comments around other people, she denies ever saying them and says you are making up stories.

Have you repeatedly found yourself in these types of situations where you end up doubting yourself?

They might have occurred with different people, in different circumstances, but the way they make you feel is the same.

Your feelings are trivialized, your thoughts are manipulated, and your reality is denied.

When this is done to you repeatedly, you begin to feel confused or even crazy. You are left questioning your own reality and sanity.

These are classic signs that you’re being gaslighted, and it’s something to take very seriously.

Gaslighting is a covert form of abuse that affects your confidence and trust in yourself, which the abuser then takes advantage of to keep you under their control.

Whether it’s a spouse, parent, or co-worker, it’s hard to break loose from the grip of a gaslighting manipulator.

You will need to know how gaslighters operate, how their behavior is affecting you, and how you can reclaim your truth.

In Gaslighting & Narcissistic Abuse Recovery, you will discover:

• The sneaky tactics gaslighters employ that catch you off-guard and make you more vulnerable to their exploitation
• How to hold on to your grip on reality, despite the gaslighter’s efforts to undermine it
• Powerful ways to respond to gaslighters, block their attacks, and take back control of the conversation
• Why self-care is a critical component in coping with abuse, especially if you need to regularly interact with a gaslighter
• The shift in mindset to help you finally gain the courage to escape an abusive relationship
• What you need to do after leaving a gaslighting relationship to make sure you don’t fall into the same cycle again
• Why you shouldn’t expect any closure from your abuser, and why you can still move on without it
• How to rebuild your sense of self after years of being torn down by others

And much more.

Acknowledging that you’re being abused is the first step towards recovery.

After years of gaslighting, you may be so used to it that you no longer recognize this is not a normal way to live.

You might believe that there’s no way out, or you can’t imagine life without the one who’s manipulating you.

But if you truly want to be able to live life on your own terms, cutting yourself off from the source of your pain is essential.

It won’t happen overnight, and it will take committed effort, but you can feel like yourself again – the person you used to be… the person you’re meant to be.
