ANGEL SKIN
Christian WESTERLUND & Robert HERZIG
In a moment of bleak despair, Joshua Barker decides to take his own life, ending it with a bullet through his head. But nothing ends in Death. Instead, he wakes up in a dead city that seems to consist of decayed factories and crumbled apartment buildings and very little else. There, he encounters the strange Elmer, a man who seems to know a great deal about him and finds that he may have a special calling. Together they set out on a journey through the fallen city, among prostitutes and rotten angels.

BROWNSVILLE
Neil KLEID Jake ALLEN
NOW IN PAPERBACK!
In the 1930's, life in Brooklyn was murder. “Jewish gangster" isn't a term you hear much in post-Holocaust society... but back when the Dodgers played in the East and licorice cost a penny a bag, Brooklyn corners were lousy with semitic young toughs looking for adventure and excitement - none more so than in Brownsville. Follow the intertwined lives of Allie Tanennbaum, Abe Reles and scores of hoods organized by Louis Lepke Buchalter into the deadliest hit operation in Mafia history, "Murder, Inc.", as they escape the mean streets and lonely tenements of East New York., make themselves into the most dangerous men in America, only to eventually send their best friends and closest allies up the river.Written by Xeric Award winner Neil Kleid, an exciting new author to watch closely.6x9, 208pp., B&W, trade paperback, $12.95, ISBN 1-56163-459-XHERE'S SOME OF THE OUTSTANDING PRESS WE HAD ABOUT THIS BOOK:"Beautifully moody evocation of a bygone Brooklyn inhabited by Jewish gangsters, Brownsville follows the career of some of the biggest names in the hoodlum business.
