Bill Davidson

Compiled and edited by the grand master of 80's schlock horror, Bret McCormick, each one of this collection of 32 terrifying tales is just the perfect length for a visit to the smallest room.... At the very boundaries of human imagination dwells one single, solitary place of solitude, of peace and quiet, a place in which your regular human being spends, on average, 10 to 15 minutes - at least once every single day of their lives. Now, consider a typical, everyday reading speed of 200 to 250 words per minute - that means your average visitor has the time to read between 2,500 to 4,000 words, which makes each and every one of these 32 tales of terror - from some of the best contemporary independent authors - within this anthology of horror the perfect, meticulously calculated length. Dare you take a walk to the small room from where inky shadows creep out to smother the light and solitude's siren call beckons you? Dare you take a quiet, lonely walk into... The Toilet Zone.

Information management is reshaping the basic structure of American enterprise, and biotechnology will be the next industry to be affected. In this pioneering analysis, Davis and Davidson explain what these changes mean and how entrepreneurs, executives, and others responsible for implementing business decisions are preparing today for the challenge of tomorrow. Citing many information intensive businesses that have extraordinary market value, such as TV Guide and the Official Airlines Guide, 2020 Vision explains the principles of capturing, processing and recycling information that can be used to transform any business. There is overlooked and unused information in every business. Davis and Davidson explain how to find this "information exhaust" and turbocharge it to give your company the competitive edge, show you how to implement successful strategic visions, and summarize proven techniques to revitalize mature businesses and to grow new ones. Defining the realities of future American business, 2020 Vision is more than a fascinating overview of trends. It is a call to action that shows businesses how to survive and thrive in the coming decades.

As showcased in this, his first collection of short fiction, Bill Davidson has a proven gift for imagining nightmarish scenarios and getting underneath his reader's skin. Imagine a world where the entire population suffers frequent and unexpected momentary fits of rage. Or how about a world where every single living thing is dead - apart from you. Here the reader will also encounter a circus plagued by enormous eight-legged fiends, forbidden texts, time slips, ancient beings who exist alongside ordinary mortals, and ordinary mortals with their hearts set on becoming ancient beings. Blending elements of horror, fairytale, science fiction, and fantasy, Bill Davidson writes stories that are occasionally gruesome, at times brutal and shocking, at other times strange and moving. In this short story collection, the everyday is paired with the extraordinary to supernatural effect. Includes the story 'A Brief Moment of Rage' which was chosen by Ellen Datlow to appear in 'Best Horror of the Year Vol.11' alongside work by Joe Hill and Laird Barron.

For years, Jestine Miller Davidson wrote stunning narrative poems that encompassed her experiences as a young girl, and later a mother, in West Virginia and other areas, from 1910 until 1930. There were thirty nationally famous people from her county; however, with such beautiful language and insight into the world she lived in, Jestine's poetry will translate to readers around the English-speaking world today, and leave a lasting impression for years to come.
