    For fans of Alison Bechdel's Fun Home and Meg-John Barker's Queer, Fine is an essential graphic memoir about the intricacies of gender identity and expression. As Rhea Ewing neared university graduation in 2012, they became consumed by the question: What is gender? This obsession sparked a quest in their quiet Midwest town, where they anxiously approached both friends and strangers for interviews to turn into comics. A decade later, their project has exploded into a fantastical and informative portrait of a surprisingly vast community spread across the America. Questions such as How do you identify? invited deep and honest accounts of adolescence, taking hormones, changing pronouns-and how these experiences can differ depending on culture, race and religion. Amidst beautifully rendered scenes emerges Ewing's own visceral story growing up in rural Kentucky, grappling with their identity as a teenager and ultimately finding themself through art-and by creating something this very fine.

    New Saucerian Press proudly presents Inspected by Extraterrestrials: Gray Barker’s Extreme Book of UFO Abduction - one of the last books written by the iconic ufologist, publisher, and best-selling author, Gray Barker, whose writing influenced the plotlines of shows like Star Trek, Futurama, The X-Files, Twin Peaks, The Outer Limits, The Jetsons, Lost in Space, and The Twilight Zone.  Shuttling between his Manhattan publishing office and his secluded cabin deep in the hills of his home state of West Virginia, the prolific Barker single-handedly kept public interest focused on UFOs during its leanest years, and introduced many themes still discussed and investigated by today’s paranormal and conspiracy researchers: the Roswell UFO crash, men in black, ancient aliens, Nazi UFOs, the Philadelphia Experiment, the Flatwoods Monster, Mothman, MJ-12, secret underground bases, little green men, and the Maury Island Incident.  Inspected by Extraterrestrials and its sister books Flying Saucer Fire and Fury, Serpents of Fire, Saucers of Fear, Saucers of Fire, Bigfoot Shootout, Forget About Flying Saucers, Visitors from the Void, and Time-Traveling Through Swamp Gas were assembled by Barker shortly before his death, using material culled from deteriorating copies of his notoriously speculative newsletters and gossipy syndicated column - for years the most widely read national column on UFOs, Forteana, and “weird science.”  This updated edition of Inspected by Extraterrestrials features an introduction by Barker and reports from Saucerian field investigators and contributors like David Webb, Dan Edwards, Budd Hopkins, Whitley Strieber, Dr. James Harder, Helmut Lammer, Don Ecker, John Judge, Valiant Thor, Betty Hill, Charles Hickson, and Phil Imbrogno, who - in true newsletter style - shed urgent, much-needed light on riddles such as: alien abduction, missing time, man-made saucers, “hybrid” babies, cattle a ungekürzt.

    Here’s a cornucopia of clever comedy, featuring sketches, monologues, poems and songs in this ‘sequential entertainment for radio’. Among the sketches, Mr Serpent, a sales rep in the Garden of Eden, tries to flog a knowledge course to Eve (‘one bite and you’re a PhD’). A doctor has to give some bad news, but gets more emotional than the patient, and there’s love among the road reports. There’s an exclusive interview with ‘Charlie Chaplin’, some lavatory humour (a sketch set in a manager’s washroom), how to learn baby talk and 'Analysis Through the Looking-Glass'. A baptism causes naming problems, while among the songs is 'What Am I Going to Do About You?' (‘You’re like Everest with all its icy crags / I don’t think I’ll get over you somehow.’) Co-written by Gerald Wiley (the pseudonym used by Ronnie Barker), David Nobbs, and Harold Pinter, this sophisticated cabaret-cum-sketch-show contains plenty of witty wordplay, and is vintage Ronnie Barker. Starring Ronnie Barker, with Terence Brady, Pauline Yates, and Gordon Langford. Ronnie Barker stars in four episodes of the comedy sketch show, as heard on BBC Radio 4. Language: English. Narrator: Ronnie Barker. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/rt/bbcw/003981/rt_bbcw_003981_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    Never has there been anything quite like it. Dr. Daniel Fry, an engineer in charge of the installation of instruments for missile control and guidance at White Sands Proving Ground near Las Cruces, New Mexico, was whisked away on an 8,000-mile flying saucer ride from White Sands to New York City and back.

    1918, and Billy Prior is in France once again, a real test case for the 'shell-shock' therapies practised at Craiglockhart War Hospital where, with Wilfred Owen, he was a patient. Prior experiences a late-summer idyll, some days of perfect beauty, before the final battles in a war that has destroyed most of his generation. In London, Prior's psychologist, William Rivers, tends to his new patients, more young men whose lives and minds have been shattered. And he remembers the primitive society on Eddystone Island where he studied as an anthropologist before the war. Gathering together both experiences, he sees the gulf between them narrow.Challenging and harrowing, brilliantly incisive yet always compassionate, Pat Barker's Booker Prize-winning novel is magnificent listening.

    Craiglockhart, a hospital for officers ravaged by their experiences in trench warfare, is the setting for Pat Barker's Regeneration. Here the poet Siegfried Sassoon, author of an article condemning the war, came under the care of psychiatrist W.H.R Rivers whose duty, as he saw it, was to return Sassoon to all the horrors of the Front, because Sassoon was sane, was healthy, and he had made a commitment. But while the encounter of Sassoon and Rivers is central to Regeneration, it is the exploration of the character of Rivers himself, the agony of the other patients, and the insights into their minds, that makes this a tour-de-force. A superb novel related with chilling clarity and vivid compassion. Language: English. Narrator: Paul McGann. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/hcuk/000164/bk_hcuk_000164_sample.mp3.
