Synopsis YELLOW STRINGER by : Goeffrey Jean-Louis

Monsters are fake news, right? That's what many of the readers of the tabloid rag the Yellow Stringer think, but the truth is more frightening than anyone could possibly know.

With front page stories like the demon baby born in an Iowa hospital or the ghost that mysteriously haunts cheerleaders from a small West Virginia town, most people assume that the articles in this national newspaper are sensationalist entertainment for bored shoppers waiting at checkout. However, these stories are real, and the journalists who report on them get the scoop despite the danger they find themselves in.
Promising Columbia Journalism School graduate Naomi and her partner, ex-cop Tony, two journalists who have suffered traumatic events at the hands of monsters, now dedicate their lives to reporting true monster crime. While they come from two different backgrounds with very different methods to investigate the truth, they are committed to unearthing the world of the supernatural. Even if no one in the world ever believes them, this dynamic team will stop at nothing to reveal the truth!
In this volume, our bickering yet terrific duo have to deal with a unique version of the headless horseman, the undead, cursed artifacts, and more! Naomi and Tony may have seen it all, but when cases start to link up to trauma that only they have experienced, they're going to stop at nothing to expose the truth.

Synopsis Grand Central Winter by : Lee Stringer

A New York Times Notable Book Whether Lee Stringer is describing "God's corner" as he calls 42nd Street, or his friend Suzy, a hooker and "past due tourist" whose infant child he sometimes babysits, whether he is recounting his experiences at Street News, where he began hawking the newspaper for a living wage, then wrote articles, and served for a time as muckraking senior editor, whether it is his adventures in New York's infamous Tombs jail, or performing community service, or sleeping in the tunnels below Grand Central Station by night and collecting cans by day, this is a book rich with small acts of kindness, humor and even heroism alongside the expected violence and desperation of life on the street. There is always room, Stringer writes, "amid the costume" jewel glitter...for one more diamond in the rough." Two events rise over Grand Central Winter like sentinels: Stringer's discovery of crack cocaine and his catching the writing bug. Between these two very different yet oddly similar activities, Lee's life unwound itself, during the 1980s, and took the shape of an odyssey, an epic struggle to find meaning and happiness in arid times. He eventually beat the first addiction with help from a treatment program. The second addiction, writing, has hold of him still. Among the many accomplishments of this book is that Stringer is able to convey something of the vitality and complexity of a down—and—out life. The reader walks away from it humming its melody, one that is more wise than despairing, less about the shame we feel when confronted with a picture of those less fortunate, and more about the joy we feel when we experience our shared humanity.

Synopsis Yellow Rain: Journey Through the Terror of Chemical Warfare by : Sterling Seagrave

The use of poison gas - chlorine, phosgene, mustard - during World War I forever changed the face of modern warfare. Yet poison gas, and its far deadlier successors, nerve agents like sarin and soman, remained oddly absent from the world stage during World War II. The possibility that poison or nerve gas could be used spurred the development of more and deadlier toxins as insurance against other countries taking the same action - the production of which poisons continued unabated even after the war ended, providing the threat beneath the uneasy stalemate of the Cold War. The United States was left with stockpiles of earlier iterations of gases held in arsenals around the world and nothing to use them for, especially with such weapons banned by international law. But while the world on the surface seemed content to keep their deadly super-poisons locked away, whispers from around the globe in the latter half of the twentieth century suggested that this was not the case at all. Since 1979, rumours of a poison hundreds of times deadlier than nerve gas leaked out of the war-zones of Laos, Cambodia, and Afghanistan, born on the lips and bodies of survivors who watched their friends and families die in excruciating pain. The gas was known as 'yellow rain' and, like all chemical weapons, it is banned by every international and moral law. For years the connections between the sites of distribution were not made - too far apart geographically and in time, with no single known chemical capable of causing the symptoms, each instance was written off as a tragedy without any real answers. Sterling Seagrave's investigation into yellow rain takes him across the world as, over the course of several years, he pieces together fragments of information to finally reveal the origin of the super-toxin for the first time. Seagrave expands his analysis of T2, one of the most lethal poisons ever invented, and created from a virulent spore found on grain, into a terrifyingly readable survey of the silent but steady growth of chemical arsenals worldwide. Praise for Yellow Rain 'His story is a terrifying one...he does not confine his investigation to the Russians alone. He is equally critical of American deceits over chemical and biological weapons.' - The Times Praise for Sterling Seagrave 'compulsively readable' - International Herald Tribune 'Fast-paced and jammed with racy details' - New York Times Book Review Sterling Seagrave is an American historian and investigative journalist whose work has appeared in many major newspapers and magazines, including The Washington Post, Time, and Smithsonian. He grew up in Asia and the United States. He is also the author of The Soong Dynasty, The Marcos Dynasty, and Gold Warriors.
