sorry, the minion's guild authorized a work stoppage and until we renegotiated i couldn't post these......Hiding Darkly (a lost soul with dementia or the victim of an alien conspiracy?)
Here's the Amazon description:
Stream of consciousness tour de force - a first person narrative told by a lost soul that doesn't know who, where or what he is, a creature obsessed with escaping from chaos - the world eating monster that is growing more threatening by the hour.
The surreal pilgrimage begins on a walk through a decaying town, then across desert sand and finally into the bowels of the earth. This refugee from reality is either a victim of an otherworldly conspiracy or something much darker and much closer to home.
Sounds pretty weird to me in both title and storyline. I'm reminded of Heinlein's great short story, "They" in which the inmate at an insane asylum calmly, with perfect certainty tells his keepers, "I'm on to your deception. You can take down Paris, I'm not going back there." (my description and the quote are from memory, if I got them slightly wrong, I don't want to hear about it!
Alien Chicks In Citrus Bras And Stalkers From Beyond The Stars
Okay, more quotes from the description:
Alien Chicks In Citrus Bras And Stalkers From Beyond The Stars is a Comedy Sci-Fi novel centring around an unlikely love-heptangle and set against the ever-popular backdrop of universal apocalypse.
The hero: Gas Chong, an eccentric, nocturnal fellow, unwittingly chosen to combat the chameleonic evil that has extinguished all life in so many universes before.
At the outset of our tale, Chong knows nothing of the drastic events that are about to overtake him. He is happily going about the business of assassinating the Mafia boss 'Mister Rack' who dropped him on the Planet of The Preying Mantis Women. But unbeknownst to him, and behind the scenes, a secretive, inter-dimensional creature called the 'Chaos Blossom' is stalking him for her pre-apocalyptic snack, and she is hot on his unsuspecting trail.
Of course, the author (or the person from the publisher?) can't spell "centering", and I do love the new adjective "chameleonic." And a hero named Gas Chong is just too good to be true for someone writing snarky comments (as I am). Do you think ole Gas got teased in elementary school?
As Chong walks down the sidewalk to the school bus, another kid comes up from behind, starts running, and zips ahead of Chong. The running kid's cohort asked the prearranged question,
"Hey watcha doing, Jimmy?"
"Oh, I'm just passing Gas!"
No wonder Chong ended up as an "eccentric, nocturnal fellow" who assassinates Mafia leaders and hangs around The Planet of Praying Mantis Women.
praying or preying, boss? or do they pray to not be prey? oh, and i think a few of our authors will agree that citrus makes lousy bras....100% of the knock-out with one blow in a street fight - tips from the Russian gopnik.

Keith Laumer is spinning in his grave, because someone is channeling the dialog from his aliens! Do you think Sergey (the author) might not have English as a first language? IF you worry that the whole book might be written like this, I am afraid you may be right. Looking at other Kindle books by Sergey, he looks like a gold mine for future WKB.
Regional Economic Voting: Russia, Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic, 1990-1999 (Cambridge Studies in Comparative Politics)
I wanted to write a lot about this one, but just the title put me to sleep....And check out this quote about the book:
"Regional Economic Voting is a shining example of how to design a monograph in a way that derives maximum theoretical leverage from a body of evidence while cautiously keeping one's conclusions as close as possible to this evidence." 90u[j43a mkl Oh curses, I fell asleep again!!! Now I have QWERTY face on both sides of my face!
