The Brewtal Truth Guide to Extreme Beers is the first guide of its type, defining what makes certain craft beers “extremely extreme,” featuring descriptions and ratings of more than a 100 of the most insane beers in the world—broken down into a handful of specific categories. These are outrageous brews with unusual ingredients, ridiculously high alcohol by volume (ABV), bizarre names and sometimes unsettling flavors. Appealing to casual and serious beer drinkers alike, the book is the perfect gift for the adventurous guy (or girl) who’s always looking for new experiences; the book is a reference guide and a challenge all at once. In addition to focusing on some of the most interesting and hardcore beers in the world, it also features profiles on craft-beer loving metal musicians and extreme craft beer brewers, making it a highly entertaining read. The book sets the scene for what an extreme beer is, drawing parallels and metaphors from the music scene. The author includes an explanation of extreme styles and what defines them. Each beer profiled receives an “extreme” rating, tasting notes information about the beer and what makes it extreme, and a musical pairing selected by the author. There is also a resources section where readers can find recommendations on how and where to buy these brews. Working in partnership with Decibel Magazine, and created out of his Brewtal Truth column with Decibel, Adem Tepedelen opens up the fun and fascinating world of extreme beer.

"Fellow high school losers, use your video game money to buy this book! Simon Rich will make you relive the dread, the hilarity, and the insanity of those formative years like no one else. Open at your own peril!"—Gary Shteyngart There are things money can’t buy: integrity, honor, discipline. Unfortunately for Seymour Herson, he’s got a more pressing matter at hand: surviving eighth grade. He’s dead last in just about everything at Glendale, the Manhattan private school his parents are working so hard to keep him in. His grades are so low a C warrants a celebration. His athletic skill is limited to how much chocolate milk he can drink in one sitting. You’d think someone with such a natural knack for underachieving could at least have a pretty good social life, but Seymour’s more familiar with the lockers he’s been stuffed in than the kids they belong to. To top it off, being bullied constantly lands him in detention along with his tormentors. His newest? Elliot Allagash, heir to the Allagash fortune, descendant of the inventor of paper, particularly talented at pushing kids down the stairs. But Elliot’s interest seems to go beyond run-of-the-mill bullying. Bored with being forced to study alongside commoners, Elliot sees a golden opportunity to bring chaos to Glendale’s entire social order: Seymour. Set on transforming Seymour into the most popular and successful kid in school, Elliot takes matters into his own evil little hands. With his vast amount of money and questionable connections, making Elliot a superstar should be a piece of cake. If a few lives get ruined in the process, that’s just a happy little coincidence. If only Seymour wasn’t so dead set on being nice. “Reading this hilarious morality tale about the cost of that popularity makes me happy that I went through my high school years as an outsider. And it makes me even happier that Simon Rich did.”—Seth Meyers "I found Simon Rich's first novel, about an evil teenage billionaire, to be suspenseful and hilarious. I am so glad I don't have to lie in this blurb like I usually do."—Judd Apatow

The body of Hannah White, a flirtatious seventeen-year-old, is found in a shallow grave outside a small town in Maine. There are no suspects and very little evidence. Still, game warden Sam Morse searches for her killer with the help of his college chum, who's making a reality TV show about the Maine Warden's Service. Their trail leads them to Dynamite MacKenzie, a fearless female logger, who apparently recruited Hannah to join an eco-terrorist group called "Save the Forest." Dynamite is the first lead Morse has had, so he's not letting her out of his sight anytime soon. However, the better he gets to know her, the more he doubts she's the killer. Carve out some time because you are not going to be able to put this down! The characters will feel like friends by the time you finish. -Dr. Jennifer Gray, Associate Professor of English, Director, Writing Center, College of Coastal Georgia

This manuscript bridges the gap between science and fiction, not by design, but by unexplainable phenomena. How do I know this? Because I was there! You decide, is it fact or fiction? My name is Gary Striker. That's not a pen name. I am who I am. I'm not a writer. By some unexplainable compulsion and statistical improbability, I created a book. Be aware, it's more than a book, it's your survival guide. You will become profoundly immersed in living personas and intimate circumstances. You can't escape. Emotions will connect apparitions with truth. But what is the truth? There is only the illusion of the holographic optical element created in your confused mind to stay the course. You are not on a mission to reconcile reality from imagination. It can't be done. Throughout this work you will encounter various agencies, people, places, incidents, situations, and events. You are challenged to perform your own research. Is it coincidence? The people of the Allagash don't think so. You will meet the roots of strength and unity. This foundation provides the cohesive force by which 'Aliens in the Allagash' was conceived. Is the Allagash real? It's as real as the manuscript you are reading. It's a place where independent people provide for themselves. They have to be self-reliant. As beautiful and invigorating as the land presents itself, it can be just that hostile. The Allagash can and does swallow up the uninitiated victim, never to be seen or heard from again. Unexplainable stories are never resolved. You are about to embark on an expedition that will take you somewhere beyond reality to just this side of fantasy. You will need to decide where you are at any point in time. Good luck, enjoy, and beware! You are about to meet the Aliens in the Allagash!
