From Centipede: Maynard’s House is a jarring, psychological study that confronts the struggles of post-traumatic stress disorder head-on. It’s a novel that finds Raucher posing the thorny questions that have made the novel such a vital piece of American literature. How do veterans settle back into a society that offers little to no helping hand? And how culpable are we to look the other way? It’s enough to make you wonder how much of the horror that Austin faces is rooted in the external forces that plague many returning service members. But it’s also a novel with an idyllic, pastoral setting that belies its demonic presence. It’s where the very foundation of tranquility is undermined, serving as the perfect venue for a virtual Noah’s Ark. One that’s cursed by a captain who abandoned ship long before it veered back to port. So keep your hands at your sides at all times. These animals are famished and it’s way past their dinner time.

Making offers: I certainly can appreciate wanting a better deal, and I've made offers myself on my own purchases. To be up front, if and when you make an offer, I will automatically reject crazy low "give it away" offers. Best not to waste our time. With a more reasonable offer, I will review current pricing for other comparable items out there and either accept, counter or decline submitted offer. If in that review, I find my pricing is already LOW and outdated, I may then increase the price to bring more in line with other offerings. I spend a lot of time sourcing the best offerings, preparing the listings with images and clear descriptions, and price fairly in MOST cases. I remain grateful to all who consider my offerings, and I look forward to serving your needs respectfully and with success.
