Overview
Discover the novel called a “brilliant read, funny and poignant, with an insider’s knowledge of Wall Street” that plunges readers into the financial sector’s ruthless heart, where fortune, ambition, and betrayal collide in the rise and devastating fall of a financial titan.(New York Times bestselling author Elliott Ackerman)Told from the perspectives of those in and around the pathways of money and power, High Finance is a debut novel that takes us inside one of the most volatile periods in Wall Street’s history through the lens of Jed Czincosca, who came to Wall Street from Chicago in 1977 to get rich and rise to the pinnacle of American success. He did what it takes to make it to the top, letting nothing hold him back. While orchestrating multibillion-dollar deals and becoming spectacularly wealthy, Jed binges on pot and alcohol, trades on inside information, cheats on his wife, and becomes one of Wall Street’s key players. At the dawn of the new century, with a monomaniacal obsession Jed borrows to buy as many shares of Lehman Brothers as he can get his hands on, only to be wiped out on that fateful September day when Lehman was fed to the wolves. Forced from his four-bedroom duplex on Park Avenue to a cheap rental in the working-class town of Patchogue, is redemption and resurrection for Jed even possible? Through a kaleidoscope of voices—his wife, his British secretary, his Marxist brother, the Lehman "informant,” an internal auditor dedicated to Jed’s destruction, and others—we come to intimately understand Jed and how the unpredictable external forces to which we are all susceptible shape and define us. The bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers was a pivotal moment in the 2008 crash of the financial markets that led to job losses, a housing market crisis, and a global recession whose effects are still being felt to this day. In telling the story of one man at the center of this moment, Ken Miller offers us a new perspective on Wall Street in the twenty-first century.

Overview
Master storyteller Viktor Wynd is back with a gloriously grim collection of wickedly entertaining tales from around the world, guaranteed to tickle the darker side of the imagination.  Viktor Wynd has always gravitated towards the weirder corners of folklore. On his extensive travels, he has amassed a trove of stories that refuse to play nice - filled with risque twists, grotesque details, and endings that are surprisingly happy, though not always in the way one might expect. Having entertained audiences around the world with these tales, he has now written down some of his favorites in a book as beautifully produced as it is macarbre. The stories were collected in Wales, Ireland, Arabia, Germany, Norway, Papua New Guinea, and Borneo, and include the adventures of a one-eyed troll; the feckless Paddy ODwyer; a changeling child; a girl who thinks she can outwit a witch; the doomed Sinbad the Traveler; shapeshifters; and a baby-eating pig. Each chapter begins with Wynds personal account of how he came to learn these stories. Arresting and intricate illustrations by Transylvanian artist Luciana Nedelea perfectly balance the charming and grotesque.  The book also includes a guide to the art of learning and recounting fairy tales. With foil accents and stenciled edges, this volume feels like a forbidden artifact plucked from a dusty cabinet of curiosities.
