Book Description

Fashion. Food Courts. Lingerie. Fire Bombing. Suicide. Free Parking. Welcome to the Mall. Why would one woman threaten to kill another for a pair of discounted shoes? Why are cross-dressers drawn to mall car parks? What do impulse buys have to do with rioting? And why are market research companies hiding the truth from us? From one of the UK s most acclaimed literary and media talents, Tales From The Mall, is a mash-up of fiction, essays and true stories, that tells the rise of the most iconic symbol of our modern age the shopping mall. From over a hundred interviews and confessions, Morrison re-tells the true-life tales of those who work, shop and even find love inside their walls. With wry wit, insight and compassion, Morrison uncovers the secrets of retail heaven and hell, to reveal how malls manipulate our emotions in cleverly calculated ways, how they are an ideal space to meet a new lover or to kill yourself and how they are taking over the world. A startling window on our time, to make you think, fear and laugh. Retail will never be therapy again.

Book Description

Tanner didn't believe in magic, at least not until Calia opened a fairy tale shop in the mall his dad owned and he oversaw a great deal of. Calia had some sort of magic and saw fairy tales all around them. When they started playing out, everyone had to question if fairies and magic are real or if Calia was some sort of witch. At first, the tales are cute, but as the stakes rise, Tanner must decide what is most important: the mall, his life, or the lives of his friends. Never did he think he'd be playing a deadly game that could cost him and his friends their lives.

Book Description

It is true-there really is a Santa Claus. Every year from Thanksgiving to Christmas Eve, Santa travels from the North Pole to share his joy for the gift of giving with children. In The Clause Chronicles, Karl Krueger-with a little help from Kris Kringle-offers practical advice for families who want to make the yearly trek to see Santa a joyful one for their little ones. Karl has gained a unique perspective not only from being father to two, but also from years of perching on the red velvet throne as a photo Santa. With the hope of helping parents prevent seasonal meltdowns in their children, Kris and Karl partner together to share colorful artwork, real-life stories, and reassuring advice that teach others how to compile a good list for Santa, what to tell children about him, and how to ensure a peaceful, fearless trip to see the jolly old elf. The Clause Chronicles takes us back to a time when we believed in the magic of Santa's hearty laugh, his twinkling eyes, and the promise that he would make all our wishes come true.
