The Legend of Dr. Kaminko


Book Description

The Legend of Dr. Kaminko by J.M. Sewall The town of Littleroot, Maine, is full of crazy urban myths, but one of the strangest is probably about a house on top of a hill, supposedly haunted by the ghost of the alleged mad scientist, Dr. Ivan Kaminko. But, of course, nobody’s been able to prove it. It’s just a silly legend, after all. There’s no such thing as haunted houses or ghosts. Or so people say. When teenager Terry Welling decides to investigate Dr. Kaminko’s house for history class, his best friend, Billy Martin, tries to tell him it’s a bad idea. And when even the mayor, Angus Hamilton, tells him there’s nothing to investigate, Terry becomes suspicious, so he and Billy, along with Billy’s cousin, Casey, and her best friend Allison, decide to go inside the house, hoping to learn something useful. But once they step inside, they make discoveries about the house and its alleged owner beyond anything they ever imagined.

The Eye of Argon


Book Description

This is not a hoax. Jim Theis was a real person, who wrote The Eye of Argon in all seriousness as a teenager, and published it in a fanzine, Osfan in 1970. But the story did not pass into the oblivion that awaits most amateur fiction. Instead, a miracle happened, and transcribed and photocopied texts began to circulate in science fiction circles, gaining a wide and incredulous audience among both professionals and fans. It became the ultimate samizdat, an underground classic, and for more than thirty years it has been the subject of midnight readings at conventions, as thousands have come to appreciate the negative genius of this amazing Ed Wood of prose.
