Halloween is coming, and with it, all the usual cliches in bookstore displays; same ol' pumpkins, same ol' black cats, same ol' witches' hats... same ol' titles.
This year, along with the pumpkins, etc., we're offering a selection of books to scare the complacency right out of you! That's right -- books that genuinely scare us jaded adults.
Fruitless Fall: The Collapse of the Honey Bee and the Coming Agricultural Crisis by Rowan Jacobsen will make you horde your honey.
A Universal History of the Destruction of Books: From Ancient Sumer to Modern Iraq by Fernando Baez, director of Venezuela's National Library, and an expert in this sad history.
The Trillion Dollar Meltdown: Easy Money, High Rollers, and the Great Credit Crash by Charles R. Morris.
Angler: The Cheney Vice Presidency by 2008 Pulitzer Prize winning author Barton Gellman.
The End of Food by Paul Roberts, the bestselling author of The End of Oil.
The Radioactive Boyscout: The Frightening True Story of a Whiz Kid and His Homemade Nuclear Reactor by Ken Silverstein.
The Fifth Child by Nobel Prize winning novelist Doris Lessing -- a terrifying tale of unhappy parenting.
The Void by Frank Close is the story of... nothingness.
Panic in Level 4: Cannibals, Killer Viruses, and Other Journeys to the Edge of Science by Richard Preston, author of the book The Hot Zone, which our own Jason described as "the most terrifying book I ever read."
And many, many more. So stop by the display in New & Used Books. Look for the poster with the dead bee on it.
