SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Linda Codega\, discusses & signs Pasha the Storm
DESCRIPTION:Moby-Dick meets The Bone Shard Daughter in this swashbuckling queer fantasy adventure packed with piracy\, political intrigue\, and the eternal souls of the drowned\, for fans of The Adventures of Amina Al-Sirafi and Black Sun. \nAn exiled pirate queen hunts a killer whale on the high seas\, while caught between a power-hungry empress and a revolutionary conspiring to end her reign . . . \nPasha the Northern Storm was once the most infamous Meridian pirate who ever sailed the sister oceans. Now\, a decade into her exile\, Pasha’s afterlife is being held hostage by Atle\, an absurdly attractive noble who knows far too much about pirate magic–but not enough about sailing to realize how dangerous Pasha really is. \nMinister Atle Itaavar is duty-bound to serve the Kingdom of Garda\, but as Queen Thivaldís gathers support for her ambitions of empire\, Atle turns to treason to stop her. In order to destroy the Queen’s new necromantic navy\, Atle plans to steal the Queen’s flagship\, kidnap a washed-up pirate to sail it\, and track down a legendary killer whale to bring it down. \nBut the hunt for the great undying whale drags Pasha\, Atle\, and the crew of the Dog into a cosmic reckoning as they face threats from ghosts and gods alike–and the Queen of Garda is close behind.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore:  Ray Morton discusses & signs King Kong: The History of a Movie
DESCRIPTION:The 1933 KING KONG was not just a terrifying monster movie. It was also an epic fairy tale\, a tragic love story\, and a landmark piece of cinema that introduced one of the most beloved characters in motion picture history-a universally recognizable cultural icon whose legacy encompasses a vast multimedia universe consisting of more than ten feature films as well as numerous television shows\, books\, comics\, toys\, collectibles\, and even a Broadway musical. \nIn this extensively revised and updated edition of a classic book first published two decades ago\, King Kong: The History of a Movie Icon is the definitive account of the most famous simian in pop-culture history. It spans the whole of the Eighth Wonder’s filmography\, chronicling in detail the making of every Kong movie beginning with the 1933 original and continuing through the giant gorilla’s Japanese adventures and the epic Dino De Laurentiis and Peter Jackson remakes before concluding with the most recent films that place the great ape within an ever-expanding “Monsterverse.” Author and Kongophile Ray Morton also offers entertaining looks at the character’s appearances in other media\, along with plenty of trivia and reflections on the franchise’s enduring appeal. Packed with photographs and based on extensive new research and exclusive interviews\, this is by far the most complete and comprehensive guide to all things Kong. \nIncluded here are: \nThe creation of the Kong character by Merian C. Cooper \nThe development\, production\, and release of the original 1933 film and its many successors \nThe Cartoon Kong: the giant gorilla’s animated incarnations. \nKong on the Stage: theatrical productions featuring the Eighth Wonder. \nKong on the Page: the many publications devoted to the great ape. \nThe Sons of Kong: Kong variants\, spoofs\, and rip-offs such as Mighty Joe Young\, Queen Kong\, and A*P*E*. \nThe Kongs that Never Were: Kong projects that never made it to the screen \nThe innumerable Kong-related products generated over the past century
