So begins Universal Harvester the haunting and masterfully unsettling new novel from John Darnielle author of the New York Times Bestseller and National Book Award Nominee Wolf in White Van. Jeremy works at the Video Hut in Nevada Iowa. It's a small town in the center of the state-the first a in Nevada pronounced ay. This is the late 1990s and even if the Hollywood Video in Ames poses an existential threat to Video Hut there are still regular customers a rush in the late afternoon. It's good enough for Jeremy: it's a job quiet and predictable and it gets him out of the house where he lives with his dad and where they both try to avoid missing Mom who died six years ago in a car wreck. But when a local schoolteacher comes in to return her copy of Targets-an old movie starring Boris Karloff one Jeremy himself had ordered for the store-she has an odd complaint: "There's something on it" she says but doesn't elaborate. Two days later a different customer returns a different tape a new release and says it's not defective exactly but altered: "There's another movie on this tape." Jeremy doesn't want to be curious but he brings the movies home to take a look. And indeed in the middle of each movie the screen blinks dark for a moment and the movie is replaced by a few minutes of jagged poorly lit home video. The scenes are odd and sometimes violent dark and deeply disquieting. There are no identifiable faces no dialogue or explanation-the first video has just the faint sound of someone breathing- but there are some recognizable landmarks. These have been shot just outside of town. In Universal Harvester the once placid Iowa fields and farmhouses now sinister and imbued with loss and instability and profound foreboding. The novel will take Jeremy and those around him deeper into this landscape than they have ever expected to go. They will become part of a story that unfolds years into the past and years into the future part of an impossible search for something someone once lost that they would do anything to regain. "This chilling literary thriller follows a video store clerk as he deciphers a macabre mystery through clues scattered among the tapes his customers rent. A page-tuning homage to In Cold Blood and The Ring." -O: The Oprah Magazine ; "Universal Harvester is so wonderfully strange almost Lynchian in its juxtaposition of the banal and the creepy that my urge to know what the hell was going on caused me to go full throttle . . . But Darnielle hides so much beautiful commentary in the book's quieter moments that you would be remiss not to slow down." -Abram Scharf MTV News ; dark grey cloth in color pictorial dustjacket ; FINE/FINE <br/> <br/> New York : Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2017. hardcover‎

The protagonist is Harrison Durrance of Georgia and the narrators include a fellow cadet from West Point his wife his sister his mistress his children. In the course of portraying this one man from various and sometimes conflicting points of view a family's history is told. A first novel ; The Wonder Book of the Air leads us through the lives of three generations in a Southern family. At the center is Harrison Durrance who learns early that the nature of love is both transaction and transgression. As a young man he comes into his own during World War II where he falls for the magic of flight and thrives on the danger of battle. He has become a man of undeniable magnetism brash and vigorously optimistic. But when the war is over and he is back on the ground - in cold-war America - Harrison loses his bearings and catapults out of orbit. As his notions of the world begin to fail him and the people he claims to love fail to understand him he sabotages his career drinks to excess and drives his family into emotional bedlam. But the story is not Harrison's alone. In Cynthia Shearer's arresting vision the turbulence Harrison creates is woven into a canvas that captures the seismic shifts of history of change of forces that we try to name to protect ourselves from their randomness. In the wake of Harrison's terrifying-and-terrified behavior we watch his children search for hope in the emotional wreckage and find some understanding of solace compassion and love. --Source: Publisher ; Cynthia Shearer is the former curator of Rowan Oak the home of William Faulkner and holds a M.A. in English from the University of Mississippi.

Her mother Marnie has had a string of boyfriends and her latest is more interested in building up business at his new café than he is in raising three children that are not his own. Marnie is involved in the café as well--but Sister is not exactly sure how. All she knows is that Marnie isn't around very much. Things weren't always this way--at one time they were close "just like sisters." Now it seems they are strangers and Sister has noticed that the neighbors are giving each other looks--looks that say that whatever Marnie is up to at the café it isn't respectable. Deciding that she will not follow in Marnie's footsteps Sister begins to take charge of her life as best she can by minding her manners and by befriending her kindly next-door neighbor Willa who seems to Sister to be a fine example of how a mother should be. But then Ray Williams a respected and powerful man in town begins to notice the blossoming Sister and when he realizes that she has no adult supervision he sets his sights on her. Willa steps in to intervene and Sister thinks she may have found salvation but in Like a Sister all is never what it seems. ; A haunting coming-of-age tale Like a Sister will linger in the minds of readers long after the last page has been turned. -- Source: Publisher ; Janice Daugharty is Artist-in-Residence at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College in Tifton Georgia.

The author of three beloved books about her life in Italy including Under the Tuscan Sun and Every Day in Tuscany Frances Mayes revisits the turning points that defined her early years in Fitzgerald Georgia. With her signature style and grace Mayes explores the power of landscape the idea of home and the lasting force of a chaotic and loving family. From her years as a spirited secretive child through her university studies--a period of exquisite freedom that imbued her with a profound appreciation of friendship and a love of travel--to her escape to a new life in California Mayes exuberantly recreates the intense relationships of her past recounting the bitter and sweet stories of her complicated family: her beautiful yet fragile mother Frankye; her unpredictable father Garbert; Daddy Jack whose life Garbert saved; grandmother Mother Mayes; and the family maid Frances's confidant Willie Bell. Under Magnolia is a searingly honest humorous and moving ode to family and place and a thoughtful meditation on the ways they define us or cause us to define ourselves. With acute sensory language Mayes relishes the sweetness of the South the smells and tastes at her family table the fragrance of her hometown trees and writes an unforgettable story of a girl whose perspicacity and dawning self-knowledge lead her out of the South and into the rest of the world and then to a profound return home"-- Provided by publisher. ;"A memoir of author Frances Mayes's coming of age in the Deep South and of the region's powerful influence on her life.

A mother and father set out with their kids from New York to Arizona. In their used Volvo--and with their ten-year-old son trying out his new Polaroid camera--the family is heading for the Apacheria: the region the Apaches once called home and where the ghosts of Geronimo and Cochise might still linger.
