After being sent to St. Vernon’s Hospital – the Strange & Unusual Diseases Ward – Morris Hollett's world quickly becomes full of magical adventure and mystery. He makes some very unusual friends and is introduced to the extraordinary world of the Wizzers. But, can Morris save them all, and himself, from the The Evil Doctor Dreebil or will the unthinkable happen?Morris Hollett wakes up one day looking and feeling rather odd - his skin is blue, his tongue is constantly changing colour and he’s seeing three of everything. He’s rushed to St Vernon’s Ward for Strange & Unusual Diseases where all patients suffer the weirdest of illnesses and he’s put in a luxurious room away from everyone else. He soon finds out that he’s really very special and ‘suffering’ from Yiddle’s, which means nothing to him. After meeting the smallest boy ever and his friend with the most eyes ever, Morris learns that he has been hit by a spell; a spell which cures everyone else in the Strange & Unusual Diseases Ward. The people in the ward have been unfortunate to have been on the receiving end of spells practised by trainee Wizzers who live in an old part of the hospital called The Acorn.Morris’ adventure quickly turns to panic when he finds out that he is wanted by The Evil Doctor Dreebil. He wants to control the power of the Yiddle’s spell and really has a problem with the Wizzers, who, Morris discovers are the protectors of every young boy and girl and are the most happiest and cheerful people he’s ever met.He’s a nasty type, Dreebil, and when he kidnaps Morris’ two new best friends, Morris is left with a choice that could mean that his friends suffer the worst fate at the hands of the evil doctor, or the patients in the Strange & Unusual Diseases Ward go uncured before the Yiddle’s spell expires. Can Morris escape The Evil Doctor Dreebil, save his friends and the patients of the Strange & Unusual Diseases Ward or will the unthinkable happen?

    Moise and the World of Reason

      Tennessee Williams
     Moise and the World of Reason

An erotic, sensual, and comic novel that was a generation ahead of its time, Moise and the World of Reason has at its center the need of three people for each other: Lance, the beautiful black figure skater full of love and lust for young men as well as a craving for drugs; the nameless gay young narrator, a runaway writer from Alabama who lives near the piers of New York City’s West Village, c. 1975, frantically filling notebooks with his observations; and Moise, a young woman who speaks in riddles and can never finish her paintings or consummate her affairs. The long unavailable Moise and the World of Reason represents a kind of uncensored Williams, radically frank, fully articulated, and deeply tender: a true gem.

    Dignity

      Jay Crownover
     Dignity

Looks can be deceiving. I knew that most people took one look at the ink and the impossibly big and strong body it covered and decided I was a brawler…a bruiser…a beast. However, I was hardwired to be a thinker, not a fighter—my mind being my greatest weapon and my biggest weakness. I should have chosen to use my brain and talents to be one of the good guys, a hero, a man with dignity and worth. I turned my back on dignity and sold my soul to the highest bidder, deciding to dance with the devil, instead. I couldn’t figure out how to help myself, so there was zero chance I knew how to save someone else. That someone else was Noe Lee. She was the unkempt, unruly thief who was just as smart as I was and twice as street savvy. She was annoyingly adorable beneath the dirt and grime and she was in trouble. In way over her head, I told myself it wasn’t my job to keep her from drowning. In the Point, it was sink or swim and I wasn’t the designated lifeguard on duty. I had shut the door in her face, but now she’s gone…vanished…disappeared without a trace. It took less than a second for me to realize that I wanted her back. When a woman comes along that melts all the frozen, hard things you’re made of, you’ll do anything you have to, to bring her home. What you see is not always what you get…and with a man like me there is more than anyone ever bargained for.
