Tommy's 13th birthday is coming up. Much to his dismay, his parents are taking him on a trip from Kansas City to Mt. Hope, Kansas to spend his big day with his grandparents. Having spent a lot of time in Mt. Hope growing up, Tommy didn't want to spend his most important birthday in a small town in the middle of nowhere. Something felt very different about this trip, however. Frightening experiences and strange sightings cause Tommy to wonder if there were monsters now roaming in this once sleepy small town. He would soon find out the nightmarish answer to his question.

With The Die-Hards In Siberia is a non-fiction book written by John Ward, which chronicles his experiences as a member of the British Expeditionary Force during the Russian Civil War. The book details his journey from England to Vladivostok, where he and his fellow soldiers were sent to support the anti-Bolshevik forces in the region.

This book gives an account of the literary representation of Jews as businessmen from the early nineteenth century to the onset of the Third Reich. The historical context provides the background for an examination of the literary representation of Jewish businessmen and presents evidence for the perpetuation, transformation, and combination of stereotypes. The double bind of assimilation - that the Jews were vilified whether they succeeded or failed - is illustrated from literary treatments by the Romantic writer Wilhelm Hauff and the early twentieth-century writers Lion Feuchtwanger and Paul Kornfeld of the historical figure of 'Jud Su Oppenheimer'. Gustav Freytag's use of the Jews as 'counter-ideals' in his notorious bestseller Soll und Haben (1855) and the onset of racial anti-Semitism in Wihelm von Polenz's Der Buttnerbauer (1895) are illustrative of how literary anti-Semitism hardened in the course of the nineteenth century. The book considers a number of literary texts, some well known, some less familiar, which are revealing of the way in which Jewish-Gentile relations were imagined in their time.
