A dominant figure in pop since the early 1980s, Michael Jackson transformed the world of music and quickly became one of the most influential artists of all time. In his astounding career, he was twice inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, voted the Most Successful Entertainer of All Time, and accumulated 13 Grammy Awards. His breakout album Thriller has sold more than 100 million copies worldwide. Jackson remained in the media spotlight as much for his troubled personal life as for his music, however, and speculations about his physical and mental health circulated up until his sudden death at age 50 in June of 2009. Shedding new light on both his highly publicized personal life and his one-of-a-kind career, this in an insightful look at the undisputed king of pop.

"It's okay, Michael. It's all going to be okay. But you have to listen to me. You've made a mistake . . ." A small Greek island. Sun and sea. For Rob and Georgie, on a two-week break, it's a chance to reconnect, spend some much-needed time together away from their busy, urban lives. For Michael - a shy, introverted man, stranded alone at the same hotel - the holiday is a revelation. And it takes on a very special meaning when Georgie casually befriends him. At the mercy of a powerful fantasy life, and unable to understand his conflicting emotions, Michael's growing obsessions set in motion a train of events that will have shattering consequences. A taut psychological thriller, Travelling Companion is a study of how ordinary people commit appalling acts, and how horrific actions can grow from the most trivial of misunderstandings.

A Stay of Execution is a collection of 91 pieces of short fiction, ranging in length from the form known as "flash" or "sudden" to the short story. In this second collection of Janikowski's often bizarre work, the stories span a wide expanse of subject matters and moods, which has contributed to his style being likened to "'A Prairie Home Companion' on 'shrooms." Tales of good and evil are set against nightmarish stories - some bordering on the psychedelic, some unashamedly tongue-in-cheek.

Three uproarious comic novels from the iconic author of such classics as The Loneliness of the Long-Distance Runner and Saturday Night and Sunday Morning. Alan Sillitoe has been hailed as “the most quietly eloquent of his cohort of postwar British novelists” (Jonathan Lethem). Here are three of Sillitoe’s finest and funniest, chronicling the adventures of the “happy bastard” Michael Cullen. A Start in Life: The saga begins as Michael Cullen says goodbye to his home in Nottingham and hits the road for London. There he will make his fortune—or die trying. Life Goes On: The legend of Britain’s most unlikely hero continues. After a series of outlandish criminal adventures, Cullen is a bastard no more. But he is still a rake with a refreshing lack of scruples. With the open road in front of him, the police behind him, and randy waitresses at every lay-by, Cullen is up to his old tricks once again. Moggerhanger: This madcap tale finds Cullen hired by his ex-boss, racketeer Claude Moggerhanger, to do a little “job.” But that’s just the beginning of a wild adventure featuring crazed poets; endless women; rat catchers; Labrador retrievers; and his old friend, former mercenary soldier Bill Straw. Rolling Stone called Alan Sillitoe “the master of British verbal architecture.” These three novels also reveal him as a master of the picaresque, one of the truly unmistakable and original voices in modern fiction.
