"The most clever and riveting vampire novel since Dracula." – Dean Koontz "I think the author who influence me the most as a writer was Richard Matheson. Books like I Am Legend were an inspiration to me.” – Stephen King "One of the Ten All-Time Best Novels of Vampirism." – Fangoria One of the most influential vampire novels of the 20th century, I AM LEGEND regularly appears on the "10 Best" lists of numerous critical studies of the horror genre. Robert Neville is the last living man on Earth... but he is not alone. Every other man, woman, and child on Earth has become a vampire, and they are all hungry for Neville's blood. By day, he is the hunter, stalking the sleeping undead through the abandoned ruins of civilization. By night, he barricades himself in his home and prays for dawn. How long can one man survive in a world of vampires?

IT TAKES A VILLAGE: And Other Lessons Children Teach Us
Clinton, Hillary Rodham
Non-Fiction-Non-Fiction
|
|
The First Lady, a longtime child advocate, expresses her concerns for the children of today's world and offers her ideas for developing our society into one that values children's unique contributions. – Amazon.com
Simon & Schuster GRAMMY WINNER!
For more than twenty-five years, First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton has made children her passion and her cause.
Her long experience with children – not only through her personal roles as mother, daughter, sister, and wife but also as advocate, legal expert, and public servant – has strengthened her conviction that how children develop and what they need to succeed are inextricably entwined with the society in which they live and how well it sustains and supports its families and individuals. In other words, it takes a village to raise a child.
This book chronicles her quest – both deeply personal and, in the truest sense, public – to discover how we can make our society into the kind of village that enables children to grow into able, caring, resilient adults.
It is time, Mrs. Clinton believes, to acknowledge that we have to make some changes for our children's sake. Advances in technology and the global economy along with other developments society have brought us much good, but they have also strained the fabric of family life, leaving us and our children poorer in many ways – physically, intellectually, emotionally, spiritually.

DREAM GIRL
Mechling, Lauren
Fiction-Children / Young Adult
|
|
DREAM GIRL is a young adult novel starring Claire Voyante, who has been having strange visions ever since she can remember. But the similarity between her name and her talents is purely coincidental. The name is French, and unlike the psychics on television, Claire can't solve crimes or talk to the dead. Whenever she follows her hunches, she comes up empty—or ends up in less-than-ladylike situations.
But all that changes on Claire's 15th birthday, when her grandmother Kiki—former socialite, fashion icon, and new permanent fixture at New York's Waldorf Astoria Hotel—gives her something a little more extraordinary than one of her old cocktail dresses: a strange cameo necklace, made of onyx and ivory, on a gold chain. And it's not long before Claire's world becomes a whole lot clearer. And a whole lot more dangerous.
New friends, old grudges, strange jewelry, and some pretty creepy dreams—if Claire can just survive sophomore year in high school, she might be able to get through anything.
Lauren Mechling is co-author of the 10TH GRADE SOCIAL CLIMBER series, a charming and funny 3-book story of a Texas teen who moves to New York and attends an exclusive private school where all of the social skills she learned back home are of no use. The first book, The Rise and Fall of the Tenth Grade Social Climber, has over 60,000 copies in print.

INSIDE THE STALIN ARCHIVES: The Rise of Totalitarianism in Post-Soviet Russia
Brent, Jonathan
Non-Fiction-History
|
|
The book is an account of contemporary Russia emerging from Brent’s articles in The New Criterion, The Observer, and The Chronicle of Higher Education. Over the past fifteen years of the new Russia, Brent, editor-in-chief of Yale University Press, has payed an unique role as the principal editor and publisher of Stalin’s personal archive – the first non-Russian to be given the opportunity to edit and publish it, and the first person in almost fifty years to see much of it. „This book”, he writes, „is a record of my descent into that abyss.” Brent aloquently profiles ordinary and extraordinary Russians, new oligarch and old bureaucrats, in state archives, country dachas, communal apartments and the households of former nomenklatura. Brent’s depth of understanding of Russia is unmatched; from conversations with KGB officers in Nikolai Yezhov’s former office in Lubyanka to an investigation of Stalin’s mysterious death, from original interviews and research into the Soviet past to direct observation of daily life, this is the most insightful portrait of that complex nation since David Remnick’s Lenin’s tomb. Publication date: Fall 2008

WISHIN' AND HOPIN'
Lamb, Wally
Fiction-Fiction
|
|
Coming on the heels of the enormous success of THE HOUR I FIRST BELIEVED, New York Times bestselling author Wally Lamb delivers a heartwarming, funny, and inspiring Christmas novella. With WISHIN' AND HOPIN', he takes a turn toward the lighthearted and laugh-provoking. In a vein similar to Jean Shepherd's A CHRISTMAS STORY and David Sedaris's THE SANTALAND DIARIES, Wally Lamb's holiday tale focuses on a feisty parochial 10-year-old school boy named Felix Funicello--a distant cousin of the iconic Annette! Both poignant and hilarious, WISHIN' AND HOPIN' transports us back to October, November, and December of 1964, when LBJ and Lady Bird were in the White House, Meet the Beatles was on everyone's turntables, and Christmas meant mistletoe, mangers, and midnight mass. Then it propels us from the past to the present so that we might measure what we've gained and what we've lost.
Wally Lamb is the author of three novels, most recently the New York Times and National Bestseller, THE HOUR I FIRST BELIEVED (November 2008). His previous works of fiction, SHE'S COME UNDONE and I KNOW THIS MUCH IS TRUE, were both number one New York Times bestsellers and selections of Oprah's Book Club. Lamb edited COULDN'T KEEP IT TO MYSELF and I'LL FLY AWAY, two volumes of essays from students in his writing workshop at York Correctional Institution.
"In WISHIN' AND HOPIN', Wally Lamb's latest, you can't help but share the author's evident joy and fun in this warm, charming, laugh-out-loud fictional flashback to 1964...Lamb is such a facile narrator that you forget you're not actually hearing Felix." BookPage, Audio Review in Holiday Round-Up
"Lamb is a very good writer, and Wishin' and Hopin' is a charming read with a genuinely funny ending." Houston Chronicle
"Wally Lamb brings with him a special, early holiday gift for all...Lamb's latest offering, "Wishin' and Hopin': A Christmas Story," hit book shelves last week and it is truly a gem." My Fox Boston
"This is a heartwarming slice of life in 1964 as seen through the eyes of 10 year-old Felix Funicello...The entertaining characters will bring back youthful memories." Romantic Times
