Research Randy reads like YA, and can be if you want it to be. It's also a weird mash-up of cosmic horror, eldritch terrors, nostalgia trip and a meta love letter to Lovecraft's Cthulhu mythos.The stars of a beloved series of children's books, the clever Research Randy and his supernaturally sensitive sister Charlie, solved many cases in the idyllic coastal town of Serenity Bay to the delight of many readers over the last 30 years.But now, suddenly transported to the creepy hamlet of Effingmouth, they find themselves in a bizarre place where nothing is what it seems, people are strange and secretive, and something awful lurks in the shadows.This might be a mystery they don't want to solve.

Guy Psycho and the Postmodernaires don't have the credit to outlast the week when an enigmatic billionaire offers them five million dollars for a private performance of their lounge act.Somehow, that performance includes re-enacting an ancient Assyrian epic deep inside a mountain in Tennessee, in the sub-basement of a mountainside mansion that leads all the way to ancient Mesopotamia.To escape, Guy and his bandmates must retrieve a rumored thirteenth tablet of Gilgamesh. If they don't, they can't spend the five million, and worse, they'll be 5,000 years early for their gig at the Sabre Room.

In The Deeds of Pounce, the legendary hero, Pitter Patter Pounce, has set out to rid the world of all the ancient evils. Unfortunately, this mouse's actions are upsetting the balance between good and evil which endangers all life on Earth. Desperate, the goblin tribes send agents Gherin and Leptin into the forbidden human lands of San Francisco to stop Pitter Patter Pounce at all costs. Though seemingly alike to outsiders, the two goblins couldn’t be more different. Leptin is a scarred veteran of great battles; Gherin an untested youth from a powerful family who has always wanted to see the forbidden human lands. As they hunt the mouse through San Francisco’s magical underworld, they themselves are hunted by the decadent Duke of Rats, heir to the sewers, and the rabbit Willie O’Shaughnessy, a power broker who offers the goblins all the fruits of human culture if they’ll help his family take over the city.  Time is running out, for as Pounce’s good deeds become more profound, the threat to humans and goblins alike grows stronger. But all this time around humans – with their whiskey and opera and big bridges – is tempting Gherin in ways he never expected.   Now the young goblin must make a choice: to live up to the ideals of his partner and family, or to follow his bliss by cutting a deal with the rabbit and leaving his people forever. 

Real sex isn't as graceful and glamorous as romance novels and pornography often portray.Real sex is learning you have a latex allergy while you lose your virginity.And so, the stories, essays, poems, and comics in Condoms and Hot Tubs Don't Mix offer realistic sex scenes to counter the overly coercive and falsely romantic scenes portrayed by books, films, and TV shows.Sometimes, the sex is funny. Sometimes, it's messy.Sometimes, it's a total disaster. But every time, it's real.The writers and editors donate all their proceeds from this book to Planned Parenthood.(Because who knows the consequences of awkward sex better than Planned Parenthood?)

Charles Washington, a college grad brimming with energy and idealism and promise, is swept up in the Compassion Boom. At the height of the financial meltdown, he spurns the prescribed job market to take a job with a not-for-profit, sacrificing salary for the selfless mission of his first post-college employer. Charles is out to save the world - the world of fraternities!Charles is an Educational Consultant with the Nu Kappa Epsilon National Fraternity Headquarters. He''s making no money, but he''s on a noble mission: he will crisscross the country to clean up the corroded culture of fraternity life, driving from college to college, fraternity house to fraternity house, conducting leadership development workshops and serving as a 24/7 role model for his NKE brothers. Charles will whisk away the alcoholism and drug abuse, and put an end to the hazing. He will help transform 21st-century fraternity life into a leadership experience just as enriching as the Boy Scouts.The only problem: Charles isn''t nearly the clean-cut role model he wants to believe he is, and he''s about to learn that he is ill-prepared for the true demands of leadership. Very quickly, he finds himself caught in a whirlwind of alcohol, parties, hazing, and sex, a series of events and decisions which will test his new values and threaten his entire future."American Fraternity Man" is an intimate portrait of a young man struggling to become the right kind of professional, while coming to terms with the harsh financial and political realities behind the ambitious mission statements and corporate philosophies. Set within a broad panoramic of the national fraternity world, American Fraternity Man offers a humanizing look at the individuals who live and breathe Greek Life, while also giving an unrivaled glimpse at the power, potential, and absurdity of the National Fraternity/Sorority business.Through both text and illustrations, Nathan Holic offers the very human story of one young man''s longing for morality and purpose in a world he simply has not been prepared to understand.
