SUMMARY:Elinor Lipman
DESCRIPTION:At thirty-two\, Faith Frankel has returned to her claustro-suburban hometown\, where she writes institutional thank-you notes for her alma mater. It’s a peaceful life\, really\, and surely with her recent purchase of a sweet bungalow on Turpentine Lane her life is finally on track. Never mind that her fiance is off on a crowdfunded cross-country walk\, too busy to return her texts (but not too busy to post photos of himself with a different woman in every state). And never mind her witless boss\, or a mother who lives too close\, or a philandering father who thinks he’s Chagall.When she finds some mysterious artifacts in the attic of her new home\, she wonders whether anything in her life is as it seems. What good fortune\, then\, that Faith has found a friend in affable\, collegial Nick Franconi\, officemate par excellence . . .Elinor Lipmanmay well have invented the screwball romantic comedy for our era\, and here she is at her sharpest and best. On Turpentine Lane is funny\, poignant\, and a little bit outrageous. \nElinor Lipman is the author of ten novels\, including The View from Penthouse B and The Inn at Lake Devine;one essay collection\, I Can’t Complain; and Tweet Land of Liberty: Irreverent Rhymes from the Political Circus. She lives in Massachusetts and New York City. \n

SUMMARY:John Darnielle
DESCRIPTION:Bestselling author of Wolf in White Van John Darniellevisits the Booksmith to celebrate the publication of his second novel\, Universal Harvester. \n  \nJeremy works at the Video Hut in Nevada\, Iowa — a small town in the center of the state\, the first “a” in Nevada pronounced “ay.” This is the late 1990s\, and while the Hollywood Video in Ames poses an existential threat to Video Hut\, there are still regular customers\, a rush in the late afternoon. It’s good enough for Jeremy: It’s a job\, quiet and predictable\, and it gets him out of the house\, where he lives with his dad and where they both try to avoid missing Mom\, who died six years ago in a car wreck. \n  \nBut when a local schoolteacher comes in to return her copy of Targets — an old movie\, starring Boris Karloff\, one Jeremy himself had ordered for the store—she has an odd complaint: “There’s something on it\,” she says\, but doesn’t elaborate. Two days later\, a different customer returns She’s All That\, a new release\, and complains that there’s something wrong with it: “There’s another movie on this tape.” \n  \nJeremy doesn’t want to be curious. But he takes a look and\, indeed\, in the middle of the movie the screen blinks dark for a moment and She’s All That is replaced by a black-and-white scene\, shot in a barn\, with only the faint sounds of someone breathing. Four minutes later\, She’s All That is back. But there is something profoundly unsettling about that scene; Jeremy’s compelled to watch it three or four times. The scenes recorded onto Targets are similar\, undoubtedly created by the same hand. Creepy. And the barn looks much like a barn just outside of town. \n  \nThere will be no ignoring the disturbing scenes on the videos. And all of a sudden\, what had once been the placid\, regular old Iowa fields and farmhouses now feels haunted and threatening\, imbued with loss and instability and profound foreboding. For Jeremy\, and all those around him\, life will never be the same . . .
