Outrageous acts of villainy have slowly drifted out of the national limelight and into the dustbin of Texas history. Consider the uproar over the 1879 shooting of actor Maurice Barrymore in Marshall and the 1949 murder of oil field legend Tex Thornton in Amarillo. The 1909 Coryell County Courthouse massacre committed by a sixteen-year-old girl remains just as shocking today. For the long-suffering associates of repeat offenders like Fort Worth's Flapper Bandit or Temple's International Man of Mystery, notoriety couldn't fade quickly enough. From the lawless days of the frontier to the rise of organized crime, Clay Coppedge sifts through eighteen obscure case files to chart the evolution of crime and punishment in the state.

The Gory Stories Behind The Murder Ballads Cheerfully vulgar, revelling in gore, and always with an eye on the main chance, murder ballads are tabloid newspapers set to music, carrying word of the latest ‘orrible murders to an insatiable public. Victims are bludgeoned, stabbed or shot in every verse and killers often hanged, but the songs themselves never die. Instead, they mutate – morphing to suit local place names as they criss cross the Atlantic and continue to fascinate each generation’s biggest musical stars. Paul Slade traces this fascinating genre’s history through eight of its greatest songs. Stagger Lee’s “biographers” alone include Duke Ellington, James Brown, Bob Dylan, Dr John, The Clash and Nick Cave. No two tell his story in quite the same way. Covering eight classic murder ballads, including “Knoxville Girl”, “Tom Dooley” and “Frankie & Johnny”, Slade investigates the real-life murder which inspired each song and traces its musical development down the decades. Billy Bragg, The Bad Seeds’ Mick Harvey, Laura Cantrell, Rennie Sparks of The Handsome Family and a host of other leading musicians add their own insights.

We started out to write a best-selling murder mystery, but inadvertently created a book with undrinkable cocktail recipes and more. Perhaps someone will murder *us*. If you like your books sophomoric with a high picture-to-text ratio (if you know what we mean), then get this miscellaneous murderous mishmash of cocktails, photo mash-ups, silly factoids, rude jokes, and emotion-laden drinking. Many of the best-selling books of today are murder mysteries, so we thought we'd see what would happen if so named this next book. If you've been tracking our books (this is number 44) and our pitiable book sales, we're sure you won't fault too much us for using this strategy. In spite of threats from schools of blowfish and hoards of bar flies, Mug and Mali announced this rancid brew. Readers will find the miscellany astonishing and the cocktails addicting - and vice-versa. "Mug & Mali's Miscellany Murders" is ill-mannered, yet impertinent, over-shadowing such lesser works as, "How To Lose at Bingo - Every Time!" and "Do Trousers Matter?" It's another piece of work that will keep you up nights reading and drinking. Enjoy! Here's what they're saying about Mug & Mali's "Miscellany Nation: " "This is the best book I never read." - Abraham Lincoln "I see a lot of Miscellany, but not so many Murders." - Ira Gurgitate, The Pittsburgh Drifter. "Where are the murders?" - Amelia Barfup, The Hourly World News. "This book represents the murder of the English language." - Segovia Carpet, The Paid Review. "We would love to read this 21st Century Dada book, if we were still around." - Marcel Duchump, Hans Earp, Max Earnest, Man Raygun, Tristen Zzorro, Salvador's Deli. "This book looks like I need a drink." - Rhoda Booke, Loose Change Quarterly. "Early to rise and early to bed make a man sleepy, stupid, and dead." - Benjamin Franklin. "If Mug & Mali's aren't America's leading humorists, I can see why." - Isabelle Ringing, The Illiterary Journal. The New Century Dada Press brings the mystique and power of avant-garde Dada to the 21st century. Dada was officially not a movement, its artists not artists and its art not art. Its post-World War I works rebelled against the norms of bourgeois culture and war, and included automatic collage, poetry, painting, sculpture, film, and performance art. Dada influenced Surrealism, Futurism, Cubism, Expressionism, Bobism, The Fat Earth Society, and miscellaneous authors.

Murder is the most vile crime known to man. It can be triggered by love or money or sex. Those are the three big ticket items for homicide. But people are strange. They will kill for the most obscure and ridiculous of reasons. In 30 years covering murder, I have discovered each one has its own flavour. Cops and friends can be stunned by the evil lurking within a seemingly ordinary man or woman. In this collection of some of the most memorable cases I've reported on, there are serial killers, rich kid monsters, football stars and wives in pursuit of hormone-charged hijinks... The very rich and the very poor. Successful lawyers and hotel executives. Southern belles who could melt butter with a come hither wink and a sexy drawl. Daddy’s girls with gleaming smiles, good marks and possessed by the devil. These are stories of American crimes and they stretch from coast to coast. You will find cheating husbands and wives so desperate for love that they’ll kill for it. When the mob kills, it’s never personal. It’s strictly business. With the murderers in Cold Blooded Murder, it’s ALWAYS personal.

One of The Wall Street Journal's Best fiction books of 2011 England, 1923. A gentleman critic named Leslie Shepherd tells the macabre story of a gifted young composer, Charles Jessold. On the eve of his revolutionary new opera's premiere, Jessold murders his wife and her lover, and then commits suicide in a scenario that strangely echoes the plot of his opera---which Shepherd has helped to write. The opera will never be performed. Shepherd first shares his police testimony, then recalls his relationship with Jessold in his role as critic, biographer, and friend. And with each retelling of the story, significant new details cast light on the identity of the real victim in Jessold's tragedy. This ambitiously intricate novel is set against a turbulent moment in music history, when atonal sounds first reverberated through the concert halls of Europe, just as the continent readied itself for war. What if Jessold's opera was not only a betrayal of Shepherd, but of England as well? Wesley Stace has crafted a dazzling story of counter-melodies and counter-narratives that will keep you guessing to the end.
