A southern gothic horror novel with a postmodern bent
Set in New Orleans, Soul Resin plumbs the dark mysteries that lurk among the layers of that city's past. Mills Loomis Mills, an edgy college dropout at the center of the story, finds his life intertwined with a remarkable assemblage of characters both living and dead after his girlfriend is murdered and he begins to hear what he believes is the arcane language of spilled blood. In the space of three days -- with 150 years of history whispering in his ears -- Mills unleashes a supernatural disaster that William Faulkner would call "a terrible bloody mischancing of human events."
Charles Cannon, first-time novelist and resident of New Orleans, has captured the flavor and complexity of a city that is unique in the American landscape. Blending first-person narratives with newspaper accounts, textbook lectures and personal correspondence, he tells a horrific tale with compassion and wisdom. "In waking I busy myself with the problems of a new girl. In point of fact, she is the cause which brings me before you now -- if indeed you are there. To distinguish among shade, phantom of memory, and living man is no light task for us. The new girl is most certainly one of our number, however. This much I know, though she knows it not yet... The difficulty is that she has brought with her some unwholesome burden from her past which threatens our very existence, a thing we cherish as much as flesh and blood do theirs..." Imagine the ghost of Faulkner haunting the work of Toni Morrison, Michael Ondaatje and Gabriel Garcia Marquez, the smell of gumbo and blare of trumpets in the background. This is a story you won't soon forget.

Recruited by the CIA to rescue hostages held by guerrilla fighters in a Central American country, Schwarzenegger and his men encounter an enemy unimaginably more deadly than any on Earth - because the "Predator" is not of this Earth.
"Predator 2" - This electrifying action sequel unleashes the deadly invisible "Predator" in another jungle - the urban jungle of Los Angeles. Danny Glover stars as a lieutenant who mistakenly concludes that mangled bodies found by the police are the work of feuding gangs.
