Описание: Oliver Onions is unique in the realms of ghost story writers in that his tales are so far ranging in their background and substance that they are not easily categorised. Long out of print, these classic tales are a treasure trove of nightmarish gems.
A few words from the author and eponymous columnist behind The Onion's column, "A Room of Jean's Own," Jean Teasdale: Hi Jeanketeers and Jeanketeers-to-be As "The Onion's" very own Humor and Human-Interest columnist, I've been entertaining readers for 15 years with kooky tales of life with my hubby and our two feline children. Now for the first time, li'l ol' me shines front-and-center in a book of my very own "A Book of Jean's Own " features all-original, never-before-published material, and if that wasn't impressive enough, marks the very first "Onion" book by a solo writer Historical, huh? My book is sure to find an eager audience among "The Onion's" ten-million-strong readership. Wait, ten "million" people? I had no idea Frankly, that scares me a little. We're not in Kansas anymore, Toto (Oh shoot, I should have put that hilarious phrase in my book )
"A Book of Jean's Own " also marks a departure from past "Onion" books in that it isn't crammed with headlines and articles in teeny-weeny print Instead, I write about the stuff that "really" matters: shopping, chocolate, part-time jobs, and hot Hollywood hunks Whether you read my book on the bus, the beach, or the toilet, you're guaranteed to find something to chuckle at "and" deeply relate to
Among the many nuggets of fun:
* I tell you the Twenty Things That Are Better Than Sex * For the first time ever, you learn my maiden name * I spill the secrets of my scrumptious chocolate-loaded desserts, such as Ooey Gooey Choco-Cocoa-Mocha Cupcakes With Raspberry Filling And Coconut-Cream Cheese-Cola Frosting * Acquire valuable, real-world tips on coping with a job you dislike, getting through those rough teenage years, and styling a Jean hairdo of your very own * Get a giggle out of my doodles and overdose on the words of wisdom that are my Jean Proverbs * You've heard of pity parties get my tips for throwing your very own "self"-pity party * Check out my own cure for the blues, the Plush Jamboree * Witness my nervous breakdown while writing this book (well, writing "is" hard, after all ) * Also for the first time ever, Hubby Rick speaks (Spoiler: It's not entirely in grunts ) * Lots of exclamation points (And phrases in parentheses )
I'm sure every single one of those ten million readers will buy my book And who knows? They just may find something in it that will help them lead happier and better lives "

Описание: A chiropodist from 1958 stumbles upon a portal in the space-time continuum, and disrupts the fabric of history. He discovers that he can change events to his liking and travels to the 1936 Olympics to alter the outcome of Jesse Owens success and make for Hitler to succeed and bring back slavery, and world conquest.
Not so fast buddy. Peeling an onion can get dicey.
At first we meet the chiropody man, a kind and gentle soul, but through a wacky ride through time he suffers peculiar anomalies: psychologically, physically, and the acceleration of the aging process. After all, time travel is rough for the uninitiated. Without modification of his DNA, a process developed in the future via genetic modification through nanoparticles: tracked, traced, and healed by orbiting satellites.
After the first portals were mapped out, by the 2070s anyone with the means could have a weekend in any era. Dinner in Ancient Rome? No problem. However, the future has to keep tabs on time travelers, and make sure they don't go astray.
Time travel "by accident" has consequences. There are powers and forces in the universe that cannot allow for altering the past. A mysterious country doctor, from a country, yet to be discovered, and a crew of characters selected from other times come together, to take this voyage to restore the proscribed dynamics set forth. Intentions, obstacles, a clash of artificial intelligence, greed, authentic ignorance, temporal mercenaries, and a little bit of luck, things on Earth can stay the course. Sans disruptors of probable outcomes.
C'mon take a ride stranger, it'll be fun. Then again, I could be incredibly altered by some chiropodist who screwed up one event, or a glitch in the machines...
