This collection of short stories totally captivated me. Boatman's style of writing is unique but never confusing. Every story captures you right from the beginning and takes you to a wildly imaginative place.
Here there be manticores!Welcome to Dreamland, where the stars are hungry and unspeakable horrors dog the dreamer’s heels.Things are seldom what they seem in Dreamland: forests are labyrinths and butterflies have teeth. Nor is there any reliable map of the twilight continent. Every oneironaut charts their own out of the whole cloth of imagination. Nor is dreaming always a private affair. Not when everyone in town shares the same dream, or a stadium full of fans participate in a Master Dreamer’s latest entertainment, or a dead sibling lures you into a haunted nightmare, or a killer leaves taunting clues in…
I'm not usually one to read biographies, but Geddy Lee's My So Called Effin Life was amazing. The stories of his youth, of how his parents survived the Holocaust, and then the history of the band Rush. Simply amazing, and filled with all sorts of great, funny anecdotes. Geddy writes with a casual but intelligent and humorous style that keeps you glued to the pages.
The long-awaited memoir, generously illustrated with never-before-seen photos, from the iconic Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, Rush bassist, and bestselling author of Geddy Lee's Big Beautiful Book of Bass.
Geddy Lee is one of rock and roll's most respected bassists. For nearly five decades, his playing and work as co-writer, vocalist and keyboardist has been an essential part of the success story of Canadian progressive rock trio Rush.

If you like thrillers that involve dinosaurs, adventure, and quirky scientists, this is the book for you. It's like Jurassic Park with some humor thrown in. All of the Grant Coleman Adventure books are fun, but this one tops the rest. Russell James knows how to balance the suspense, danger, and action with the quirky one-liners Coleman is known for.
It seems like the perfect trip when paleontologist Grant Coleman joins a geology professor and an anthropologist to explore an unmapped canyon far out in the Utah desert. The sponsor’s team leader promises Grant he can take home all the fossils he finds.
On the first day at camp, an explosion strands the entire team hundreds of feet down on the canyon floor. It is soon clear that the mining company sponsor has more nefarious plans than the benign research they promised. The going is about to get tough for the three professors.
No one in Anders Bach’s family believed his old tales of Winterwood, a place where Krampus and his Wild Hunt rule a frozen land and where bad children don’t get coal for Christmas, they get baked into pies or forced into slavery. But now the Yule Lads have kidnapped Anders’s grandsons, and he has to rescue them before they’re lost forever. Anders and his daughter must cross the divide between worlds and enter Winterwood, where evil holds sway and even the reindeer have a taste for human flesh. By the time the sun rises, they’ll learn the awful truth about Winterwood: there is no escape without sacrifice.
