Spicy Bibliophile Action: The Rangoon Duology: Book One
by Tony W. Arnold
Some men chase treasure. Crabbe Rangoon chases footnotes — and the footnotes are trying to kill him.
It starts, as these things do, with a fire-damaged crate of ten-cent books in a Florida curiosity shop that shouldn't exist. It ends with faked deaths, smuggled monkeys, cosmic cults, a vimana, and a bookseller so ornery he makes customer service look like a threat display. In between: secret societies, questionable scholarship, an entity named WM who is never wrong (except that one time with the geodesic dome), and the kind of prose that treats a used bookstore like sacred ground and a mad man's arsenal in equal measure.
This is bibliomania as blood sport — for readers who think the phrase "rare book dealer" should come with a body count, and who know that the most dangerous thing in any shop is the section marked Weird Shit We Can't Categorize.
Part pulp adventure, part cracked cosmology, entirely unhinged. If you've ever wanted your love of old books to feel like a felony, Dr. Rangoon has a shelf for you.
From White Devil Press — because civilization's last stand is fought one spine at a time.
