Fermans Devals: Author’s Intended Edition (Pembroke Hall Universe)
by Joe Clifford FaustIgnored on publication in the US and revered in Russia, Joe Clifford Faust's novels Ferman's Devils and Boddekker's Demons were a vision of advertising gone mad - decades before Don Draper and his cigarettes made the scene.Now the novels appear as Faust originally intended - in a single volume that keeps the story's impact between a single set of covers.In Fermans Devals you'll meet a 28 year-old copywriting prodigy who has almost everything he wants – except for a house and the most desirable woman at his advertising agency. The answer to his problems comes in the form of a street gang that he puts in a TV commercial. But everything has its price. Soon the gang is big as The Beatles - only The Beatles didn't leave a trail of dead bodies in their wake.This new presentation of the story also includes an introduction by the author, along with a bonus novelette that also takes place in the Pembroke Hall universe.REVIEWS FOR FERMAN'S DEVILS“A superior entertainment… [Ferman's Devils] may well turn out to be one of the funniest SF satires of recent years, as well as one of the most intelligently plotted and convincingly detailed.” - Locus“Diabolically delightful. A struggling Everyman with a Chandleresque wit, Boddekker makes a winning protagonist… fiendishly good.” - Starlog“A hilarious journey into the advertising world of the not-too-distant future.” - Fantasy And Science FictionREVIEWS FOR BODDEKKER'S DEMONS“Fulfills the promise of Ferman's Devils, and the whole Boddekker saga can now take its place as the most important advertising satire since The Space Merchants… a mean piece of work, and it’s a delicious meanness.” - Locus"Boddekker's Demons makes for very light and enjoyable reading." - SF Site Reviews"Diabolically delightful. A struggling Everyman with a Chandleresque wit, Boddekker makes a winning protagonist… fiendishly good." – Starlog

The Ferryman Institute: A Novel
by Colin GiglIn this stunning, fantastical debut novel from a bold new voice in the bestselling traditions of Christopher Moore and Jasper Fforde, a ferryman for the dead finds his existence unraveling after making either the best decision or the biggest mistake of his immortal life.Ferryman Charlie Dawson saves dead people--somebody has to convince them to move on to the afterlife, after all. Having never failed a single assignment, he's acquired a reputation for success that's as legendary as it is unwanted. It turns out that serving as a Ferryman is causing Charlie to slowly lose his mind. Deemed too valuable by the Ferryman Institute to be let go and too stubborn to just give up in his own right, Charlie's pretty much abandoned all hope of escaping his grim existence. Or he had, anyway, until he saved Alice Spiegel. To be fair, Charlie never planned on stopping Alice from taking her own life--that sort of thing is strictly forbidden by the Institute--but he never planned on the President secretly giving him the choice to, either. Charlie's not quite sure what to make of it, but Alice is alive, and it's the first time he's felt right in more than two hundred years. When word of the incident reaches Inspector Javrouche, the Ferryman Institute's resident internal affairs liaison, Charlie finds he's in a world of trouble. But Charlie's not about to lose the only living, breathing person he's ever saved without a fight. He's ready to protect her from Javrouche and save Alice from herself, and he's willing to put the entire continued existence of mankind at risk to do it. Written in the same vein as bestselling modern classics such as The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde and A Dirty Job by Christopher Moore, The Ferryman Institute is a thrilling supernatural adventure packed with wit and humor.
