Jam-packed with mobsters, mystery, magic and mayhem, Dale Lucas offers a new twist on the action-hero and a love letter to classic pulp fiction like no other. Harlem, 1927: The Reverend Barnabus Farnes and his fellow members of the Harlem Concerned Citizens Brigade narrowly escape a mob rub-out when the shadowy crimefighter known as Doc Voodoo comes to their aid. But in the aftermath of their deliverance, perils amass as mob boss Harry Flood decides to fight Doc’s magic with magic and revolutionary Jebediah Debbs forms an armed and dangerous Harlem Vigilance Committee. Between trigger-happy vigilantes, a hexed holy man, and a mad mobster out for blood, Doc Voodoo finds himself torn between worlds and caught in the crossfire… Crossfire is the second book in the Doc Voodoo series. Aces & Eights is the first. "The difference between old pulp and its new incarnation is that back in the day, most pulp characters spoke and behaved the way the stereotypes of the time dictated they were supposed to speak and behave. In Doc Voodoo, the characters have their own identities and motivations - some good, some bad, all human... "Doc Voodoo is a crackling and compelling read, and Dale Lucas's knowledge of 1920s New York City, as well as Haitian Voodoo, not only impresses, it also moves the story along rather than getting in the way." -- Charles R. Saunders, author of the Imaro and Dossouye novels “Rather than stretch out an idea until it snaps, author Dale Lucas presents a tight, action packed tale...” -- Nathan Brazil on the Sci-Fi Site “This is a true page-turner that will have you cheering with each new gun battle, from this new pulp hero’s first appearance to his last.” -- Ron Fortier of Pulp Fiction Reviews

Master storyteller Stephen King (writing as Richard Bachman) presents this gripping and remarkable New York Times bestselling crime novel about a damaged young man who embarks on an ill-advised kidnapping plot—a work as taut and riveting as anything he has ever written. Once upon a time, a fellow named Richard Bachman wrote Blaze on an Olivetti typewriter, then turned the machine over to Stephen King, who used it to write Carrie. Bachman died in 1985 (“cancer of the pseudonym”), but this last gripping Bachman novel resurfaced after being hidden away for decades—an unforgettable crime story tinged with sadness and suspense. Clayton Blaisdell, Jr., was always a small-time delinquent. None too bright either, thanks to the beatings he got as a kid. Then Blaze met George Rackley, a seasoned pro with a hundred cons and one big idea. The kidnapping should go off without a hitch, with George as the brains behind their dangerous scheme. But there's only one problem: by the time the deal goes down, Blaze's partner in crime is dead. Or is he?

Alan Jay Lerner wrote the lyrics for some of the most beloved musicals in Broadway and Hollywood history. Most notably, with composer Frederick Loewe he created enduring hits such as My Fair Lady, Gigi, Camelot, and Brigadoon. In The Complete Lyrics of Alan Jay Lerner, editors and annotators Dominic McHugh and Amy Asch bring all of Lerner's lyrics together for the first time, including numerous draft or alternate versions and songs cut from the shows.

This collection also includes extensive material from Lerner's two most ambitious musicals: Love Life, to music by Kurt Weill, and 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, which Lerner wrote with Leonard Bernstein.
