Just in time for the movie's 25th anniversary, best-selling author Ian Doescher rolleth with the homies as he brings his signature Shakespearean wordsmithing to this beloved tale. Clueless gets a makeover that Cher Horowitz and the Bard would approve of in this charming and witty retelling of the beloved '90s movie, presented as an authentic Shakespearean play written in iambic pentameter. Cher, the fairest maiden of Beverly Hills, takes center stage in this comedy of errors in which matchmaking, makeovers, and mall-hopping lead to plenty of merry-making, until Cher realizes her good intentions are creating mischief for her friends and family, including her new best friend Tai and her cute stepbrother Josh.

Every twenty- or thirty-something woman knows these books. The pink covers, the flimsy paper, the zillion volumes in the series that kept you reading for your entire adolescence. Spurred by the commercial success of Sweet Valley High and The Babysitters Club, these were not the serious-issue YA novels of the 1970s, nor were they the blockbuster books of the Harry Potter and Twilight ilk. They were cheap, short, and utterly beloved. Paperback Crush dives in deep to this golden age with affection, history, and a little bit of snark. Some were blatant ripoffs of the successful series, some were sick-lit tearjerkers àla Love Story, and some were just plain perplexing. But all of them represent that time gone by of girl-power and endless sessions of sustained silent reading. (immagine) Categoria: Books: novel/sci fi/horror

You've never seen tarot cards quite like these. Imagine the celebrated 'Rider Deck' infused with the horrors of Night of the Living Dead, and the result is The Zombie Tarot, a crazy, campy interpretation of a classic divination system. In this zombified parallel universe, wands become limbs, pentacles are biohazard symbols, and the Major Arcana is full of shambling corpses. Along with the 78-card deck, readers will receive instructions in a 96-page full-color book; its contents explain how to survive the zombie apocalypse and forecast your future using one of three different card layouts.
