Bestsellers
Pre-order
your copy of Stephen King and Peter Straub's new thriller,
Black
House, available September 15. Or get it on
unabridged
audiocassette or
unabridged audio
CD. To whet your appetite, here's an excerpt from part
1: Welcome to Coulee Country.
"Right here and now, as an old friend used to say,
we are in the fluid present, where clear-sightedness never
guarantees perfect vision. Here: about two hundred feet, the
height of a gliding eagle, above Wisconsin's far western edge,
where the vagaries of the Mississippi River declare a natural
border. Now: an early Friday morning in mid-July a few years

courses so hidden that a blind man has a better chance of
seeing what lies ahead than you or I. Right here and now, the
hour is just past six a.m., and the sun stands low in the
cloudless eastern sky, a fat, confident yellow-white ball
advancing as ever for the first time toward the future and
leaving in its wake the steadily accumulating past, which
darkens as it recedes, making blind men of us all. Below, the
early sun touches the river's wide, soft ripples with molten
highlights...."

Surprise Bestseller of the
Week
From the
publisher who brought you all those World Wrestling Federation
books, look out! Here comes a smackdown for "libbers,"
lesbians, and commies from two-fisted intellectual Midge
Decter, the snarling author of
An Old Wife's Tale:
My Seven Decades in Love and War. She was the
executive editor of Harper's, but she argues that women
were meant to be stay-at-home moms.
