Описание:
What if you could make things vanish, purely with a simple effort of your mind? What would you do? Who would want to control that power?
Jack Cady, in The Man Who Could Make Things Vanish, releases a long pent-up everyman rage against a system that is designed to terrorize, inhumanize, and degrade the human experience. The secret organization behind this villainy is given a name here--Mobilier--and the only thing that can stop it from complete world domination is one man.
Cady, an outspoken critic of the military industrial complex and over-reaching government action, turns his considerable talents to pose a scathing "What if?" that is still terrifyingly relevant and cautionary today as it was when the book was first released more than thirty-five years ago.
Introduction by Dale Bailey, winner of the Shirley Jackson Award.

Описание:
The Pacific Northwest is no stranger to serial killers, and when bodies start to pile up in Seattle and the police have no clue, it falls to the denizens of the streets of Seattle to bring this new murderer to justice. Working out of an abandoned church they call "Sanctuary," an unlikely group of five craft an unusual plan. Led by an unnamed actor with the mystical ability to assume any role he requires, these ragtag characters engage in a deadly game of "Catch the Killer."
In Street, Jack Cady transforms the tropes of the "true crime thriller" into a moving meditation on a place, its people, and what must be done to save those whom society has forgotten.
This edition of Street includes an essay entitled "Birds," which is an excerpt from a project that was never realized.

Описание:
Over the course of his career, Jack Cady won the Bram Stoker Award, the Nebula Award, the World Fantasy Award, a special award from the International Horror Guild, The Atlantic Monthly "First" award, the Iowa Prize for Short Fiction, the National Library Anthology Award, and the Washington State Governor's Award. Cady's keen and profound insight into the collective psyche of the modern world--both from a narrative standpoint and from a critical cultural analysis--are captured in this collection.
Phantoms includes his scathing critique of wartime politics and how these national policies are indelibly tied to the simple act of paying taxes ("Dear Friends"), to an anguished reaction to a world caught on the cusp of change during the 1970s ("Birds"), to a modern parable of the frustrating nature of Satan's job ("The Parable of Satan's Adversary"), to a romp through science experiments gone awry ("The Twenty-Pound Canary"). The world is filled with ghosts, but to Jack Cady, these phantoms are vital aspects of who we are. His stories never lose sight of the marvelous mystery of the fantastic.

Thomas Byers Memorial Outstanding Publication Award from the University of Akron Law Alumni Association
Much has been written about women’s rights pioneer Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Historians have written her biography, detailed her campaign for woman’s suffrage, documented her partnership with Susan B. Anthony, and compiled all of her extensive writings and papers. Stanton herself was a prolific author; her autobiography, History of Woman Suffrage, and Woman’s Bible are classics. Despite this body of work, scholars and feminists continue to find new and insightful ways to re-examine Stanton and her impact on women’s rights and history. Law scholar Tracy A. Thomas extends this discussion of Stanton’s impact on modern-day feminism by analyzing her intellectual contributions to—and personal experiences with—family law. Stanton’s work on family issues has been overshadowed by her work (especially with Susan B. Anthony) on woman’s suffrage. But throughout her fifty-year career, Stanton emphasized reform of the private sphere of the family as central to achieving women’s equality. By weaving together law, feminist theory, and history, Thomas explores Stanton’s little-examined philosophies on and proposals for women’s equality in marriage, divorce, and family, and reveals that the campaigns for equal gender roles in the family that came to the fore in the 1960s and ’70s had nineteenth-century roots. Using feminist legal theory as a lens to interpret Stanton’s political, legal, and personal work on the family, Thomas argues that Stanton’s positions on divorce, working mothers, domestic violence, childcare, and many other topics were strikingly progressive for her time, providing significant parallels from which to gauge the social and legal policy issues confronting women in marriage and the family today.

Описание:
Death upsets the quiet equilibrium and rustic charm of a small town on the Washington State peninsula when a well-intentioned blacksmith performs an unexpected civic duty for the town. While the blacksmith's actions remove a pernicious evil that had taken up residence along the nearby canal, the death of the predator allows a more ancient evil to slip into the waters of the canal. The townsfolk find themselves drawn into a vortex of dark uncertainty and shadow-stricken morality as investigators uncover secrets long thought buried . . .
The Hauntings of Hood Canal is a ghostly tale of the dark side of the quintessential American small town, and it is written by an author the Tulsa World says "has patented a hard-edged folksy narrative that conceals within its intricate voice the imminence of the supernatural."
Included in this edition are two additional stories that further illustrate the mystery and marvel of Jack Cady's rural narrative voice.
