THE PERIPHERAL
William Gibson
"The author weds exciting action with an endless stream of big ideas that
will stay with readers long after they turn the last page."
— starred, Library Journal
Where Flynne and her brother Burton live, jobs outside the drug business are
rare. Fortunately, Burton has veteran's benefits for neural damage from his
time in the USMC's elite Haptic Recon force. One night Burton has a job he's
supposed to do — a job Flynne didn't know he had. Beta-testing part of a
new game, he tells her, and offers her a good price to take over for him. What
Flynne sees, though, isn't what she expected. It might be a game. It might
also be murder.

STONE MATTRESS
Nine Tales
Margaret Atwood
"Shrewdly brilliant, gleefully mischievous, and acerbically
hilarious." — starred, Booklist
A fantasy writer is guided through a stormy winter evening
by the voice of her late husband in "Alphinland." A woman
with a genetic abnormality is mistaken for a vampire in
"Lusus Naturae." And in "Stone Mattress," a long-ago
crime is avenged in the Arctic via a 1.9 billion-year-old
stromatolite. In these and six more
highly imaginative short pieces
collected here, Margaret Atwood is
at the top of her darkly humorous
and seriously playful game.

DEAR COMMITTEE MEMBERS
Julie Schumacher
"A creative writing professor herself, Schumacher crafts a
suitably verbose but sympathetic voice for Fitger, a man
who exudes both humor and heart." — Publishers Weekly
Jason Fitger is a beleaguered professor of creative writing
and literature at Payne University, a small, undistinguished
Midwest liberal arts college. His department is facing
draconian cuts. His once-promising writing career is in
the doldrums, as is his romantic life. In short, his is a tale
of woe, told here in a series of
letters of recommendation that
Fitger is endlessly called upon to
produce, each of which is a small
masterpiece of high dudgeon and
low spirits.
