Plain Bad Heroines
NATIONAL BESTSELLER"A delectable brew of gothic horror and Hollywood satire . . . [and] what makes all this so much fun is Danforth's deliciously ghoulish voice . . . exquisite." -Ron Charles, THE WASHINGTON POST"A multi-faceted novel, equal parts gothic, sharply funny, sapphic romance, historical, and, of course, spooky." -ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLYNamed a Most Anticipated Book by Entertainment Weekly - Washington Post - USA Today - Time - O, The Oprah Magazine - Buzzfeed - Harper's Bazaar - Vulture - Parade - HuffPost - Refinery29 - Popsugar - E! News - Bustle - The Millions - GoodReads - Autostraddle - Lambda Literary - Literary Hub - and more!The award-winning author of The Miseducation of Cameron Post makes her adult debut with this highly imaginative and original horror-comedy centered around a cursed New England boarding school for girls-a wickedly whimsical celebration of the art of storytelling, sapphic love, and the rebellious female spiritOur story begins in 1902, at the Brookhants School for Girls. Flo and Clara, two impressionable students, are obsessed with each other and with a daring young writer named Mary MacLane, the author of a scandalous bestselling memoir. To show their devotion to Mary, the girls establish their own private club and call it the Plain Bad Heroine Society. They meet in secret in a nearby apple orchard, the setting of their wildest happiness and, ultimately, of their macabre deaths. This is where their bodies are later discovered with a copy of Mary's book splayed beside them, the victims of a swarm of stinging, angry yellow jackets. Less than five years later, the Brookhants School for Girls closes its doors forever-but not before three more people mysteriously die on the property, each in a most troubling way.Over a century later, the now abandoned and crumbling Brookhants is back in the news when wunderkind writer Merritt Emmons publishes a breakout book celebrating the queer, feminist history surrounding the "haunted and cursed" Gilded Age institution. Her bestselling book inspires a controversial horror film adaptation starring celebrity actor and lesbian it girl Harper Harper playing the ill-fated heroine Flo, opposite B-list actress and former child star Audrey Wells as Clara. But as Brookhants opens its gates once again, and our three modern heroines arrive on set to begin filming, past and present become grimly entangled-or perhaps just grimly exploited-and soon it's impossible to tell where the curse leaves off and Hollywood begins.A story within a story within a story and featuring black-and-white period-inspired illustrations, Plain Bad Heroines is a devilishly haunting, modern masterwork of metafiction that manages to combine the ghostly s- Shop: buecher

Can't Hold Me Down
||:: Luvydub Productions presents C-Love ::|| C. Love, Curt Cunningham, was intimately introduced to songwriting and creating loving music at a very early age. Born into a family where music accompanied every family occasion, it became an essential ingredient to happy living. His father, Clyne Cunningham Sr., a songwriter and musician, did not hesitate to nurture the natural musical talent he saw in his own children. He formed a recording band with C. Love and his two siblings while they were still very young and impressionable. At the precious ages of four, six, and two, C. Love and his two siblings recorded their first song in the studio. C. Love sang background and played light percussion. Clyne Sr. wrote the music and played the piano and bass. Over time, they recorded numerous songs and as a result music became a part of C. Love's eternal existence. Inspired by his father's love, passion and appreciation for all music, C. Love has grown into a musical genius who embodies all that music has to offer the world. His songs tell stories through the eyes of truth using a simple yet profound fusion of honesty, observation, reflection and love. C. Love's professional musical career has been one of quiet yet consistent and resonating success. In 1993, C. Love (then Charms), Clynetell - C. Love's older brother (then Composer Clyne), and Shala-Shakir (then Shamega) formed a hip hop group called the Natural Mystics. In 1995 and 1996 Natural Mystic's had two singles entitled "It's So" and "How it Go". The singles held all the ingredients for success and sold around the world, namely France, England, and Japan. C. Love married in 1999. In 2001, C. Love received a degree in Fine Arts, with a concentration in painting, from the University of Maryland at Collage Park. In 2003 C. Love picked up a guitar from a close friend and never put it down. In 2006, C. Love's career took another positive turn destined to help him gain international acclaim with the creation of Luvydub productions. Luvydub productions is a collaborative group of producers, singers and songwriters that come together to make good, positive music that keeps you moving and thinking. Started by Eric "E-Dub" Wheeler and C. Love, Luvydub productions is a self contained marriage made with unlimited potential. E-Dub is a professional bass jazz musician, composer and producer with his masters in music from Howard University, and C. Love is a songwriter, emcee, producer, musician and a visual artist with a Bachelor's degree in Fine Art from the University of Maryland at College Park. From the creation of Luvydub Productions comes C. Love's premiere solo recording project and freshman album, Can't Hold Me Down, a collection of heartfelt, soul-driven songs representing the many experiences of the human journey through life. Each entry radiates a sentiment and serves as a confirmation of the myriad human emotions felt by everyone. Whether it is love, happiness, and pride, or jealousy, resentment, and frustration, each song ignites an emotion leaving each listening mind, heart, and spirit with a sense of spiritual satisfaction and lyrical fulfillment.
