Item Special Note

A Look at Zook:

The work of R. Harold Zook has been recognized as historically significant, particularly in Hinsdale, Illinois where he resided for 26 years. Zook demonstrated whimsy, spirituality and romanticism with attention to many details called fussy by some. Mary Daniels of the Chicago Tribune described his work as "Charmingly unique and superbly crafted. A Zook house smiles when it sees you, makes you feel happy and protected the moment you walk in." Sadly, many Zook homes and buildings have succumbed to the rubble pile, including the home he had designed for his second wife, Florence. It was replaced by a tennis court. In 2005 a developer bought Zook's home and studio and planned on demolition. Anonymous donors stepped up and the Hinsdale Historial Society as well as many others got into action, moving the buildings a mile-and-a-half south of their original location. This book documents that move and shows a veriety of buildings designed by Zook. Includes 335 photos and blueprints in color and black-and-white.

Losing Touch:

WINNER! 2013 Best Horror Novel from Preditors & Editors

INTRODUCTION BY LEGENDARY GENRE AUTHOR PIERS ANTHONY

Morgan Dunsmore feels like everything is out of reach - a paying job, a healthy marriage, and even a good bowel movement. Complicated by his wife's recent back surgery, Morgan tries to protect his wife and kids from his anxieties, not to mention their financial burdens, but that just pushes them away even further.

And in the middle of it all, he starts to lose his tangibility. 

He may be able to walk through walls, but that ability comes with a price. He has to learn not just how to control it, but how to use it without anyone finding out, not even his family. He doesn’t want to become a circus freak or government test subject while providing for his wife and kids, but there doesn’t seem to be any honest work for a man who can secretly phase through solid matter. The temptations, on the other hand--the temptations are endless, and when he succumbs to the first, the rest begin to fall like dominoes...
