The world is crowded. Far too crowded. Its starving billions live on lentils, soya beans, and —if they’re lucky—the odd starving rat.
In a New York City groaning under the burden of 35 million inhabitants, detective Andy Rusch is engaged in a desperate and lonely hunt for a killer everyone has forgotten. For even in a world such as this, a policeman can find himself utterly alone….
Acclaimed on its original publication in 1966, Make Room! Make Room! was adapted into the movie Soylent Green in 1973, starring Charlton Heston along with Edward G. Robinson in his last role. |

EC Comics (Entertaining Comics) were all published from the late 1940s until around 1956, when the Comics Code Authority whitewashed all comic books to remove all themes of horror and violence. Psychiatrist Fredric Wertham and Senator Estes Kefauver's Committee on Juvenile Delinquency attacked horror comics as causes of the rise in juvenile delinquency and crimes by minors. These comic books were accused of having no redeeming value to society and were effectively banned by the actions of these groups in creating the Comics Code. EC Comics were superior to other comics of the 1950s because of a higher quality of writing and artwork, and they were widely imitated by other comics publishers. The subject matter for EC Comics were horror, science fiction/fantasy, crime stories, war stories, and stories with a social message that generally had a twist or "shock" ending. This volume reprints the first six complete issues (24 stories) of the comic book The Vault of Horror, originally published in 1950 and 1951, and features classic horror stories of vampires, werewolves, ghouls, and monsters in the vein of the early Dracula, Frankenstein, and Wolf Man movies. |

She brims with curiosity, enthusiasm, often joy. She has an independent spirit to nurture, values to shape. And through every step, it’s her mother—who knows just how she feels—who is her guide. From Melissa Harrison, because only a mother knows, and Harry Harrison, author of the chunky bestsellers Father to Son and Father to Daughter with nearly one million copies in print, comes Mother to Daughter, a pithy book of wisdom and inspiration.
Divided into sections including The Bonding Years, The Awkward Years, Girls and Success, Girls and Spirituality, and (of course!) Girls and Boys, the book offers one succinct lesson per page.
Fun stuff: Have a skipping contest. This is especially good for when you need to get somewhere fast.
Passing down tradition: Share stories of your mother and grandmothers with her. Remember, girls are keepers of the flame.
Focusing on the big picture: Understand that for girls, independence usually starts with hair. Ask yourself, how important is it really if it’s blue?
Setting moral examples: Let her see you give of yourself unselfishly. Not just your money, but your time, your patience, and love.
Nurturing self-sufficiency: Teach her how to change a tire, use an electric drill, mow the lawn. She should never depend on some guy to do it for her.
Finally—Tell her how much joy she’s brought into your life. And when it’s time—Let her go. |

One of SF's most beloved rogues: the Stainless Steel Rat!
Slippery Jim DiGriz is the Stainless Steel Rat: the galaxy's greatest interstellar thief and con artist. For novel upon novel, the Rat has outfoxed the forces of conventionality, cutting a stylish swathe through dozens of star systems-and stealing the hearts of thousands of readers.
Now three of the Rat's greatest exploits are collected in a single volume. In A Stainless Steel Rat Is Born, we see the origin and early days of Jim DiGriz's brilliant criminal career, as our underworld hero is forced to work for the Good Guys. Conscripted again in The Stainless Steel Rat Gets Drafted, this time into a planetary army, the Rat must avenge the murder of his mentor-in-crime. And in The Stainless Steel Rat Sings the Blues, Slippery Jim must retrieve a missing alien artifact, while disguised as a futuristic rock-and-roller...or forfeit his life.

A smith and warrior, he alone dares to imagine new weapons and tactics with which to carve out a kingdom--and launch an all-out war between....The Hammer and the Cross.
