Bolthøj-krøniken udspringer fra den lille fynske landsby, hvor alle kender alle på godt og ondt, og lever med i hinandens liv. Store følelser hersker mellem rig og fattig, både kærlighed og had, hjælpsomhed og forbrydelser, sammenhold og svigt. Disse (næsten) autentiske hændelser kommer fra forskellige egne af Fyn, men foregår her i det fiktive sogn Bolthøj. Denne bog er en erindringsbog med forfatterens oplevelser, hvor et underligt frimærke gør, at tid er noget diffust i fortællingen. Historien begynder og slutter i 2012, men mellem begyndelse og slutning er Ebba Møller, der i bogen kalder sig Katrine Hansen, dels i Bolthøj i 1796 - hvor hun møder den navnkundige Marie Gadekær - og dels i Bolthøjs nabosogn Dalby-Skov i 1906 - hvor hun møder pastor Adam og hans hustru, Flora; ritmesterparrets yngste datter, og også ritmesterparrets barnebarn, den 6-årige Rikke Rivejern. Og Katrine opnår også at træffe Henrijette og hendes mand, inden det underlige frimærke driller igen, hvorefter Katrine lander i 1945, midt i verdenskrigens sidste dage. Men også i 1945 møder Katrine personer, der har relation til Bolthøj. Måske vil nogle ryste på hovedet og kalde denne fortælling tankespind, men så dem om det - sådan var det nu for forfatteren! Men hvis læseren måtte ønske en mere realistisk beretning, så læs blot Ebba Møllers erindringsbog fra 2013: "Det gik vist som det skulle". Ebba Møller (f. 1938) har lige fra barndommen altid været interesseret i historier om menneskene i det nære samfund, ikke mindst på Vestfyn. Hun har især haft stor betydning for landsbyerne Køng/Gummerup, hvor hun er kendt for at have gravet dybt i de lokalhistoriske arkiver og for at have skrevet flere bøger og artikler om sine fund. Bogen er sidste bind af seks i Bolthøj-krøniken.

Alexander Rasmussen der var præst i Sønder Kongerslev, Nørre Kongerslev og Komdrup 1894-1929, var i sin fritid både en særdeles flittig og en særdeles omhyggelig lokalhistoriker. Bl.a. skrev han adskillige artikler til årbogen "Fra Himmerland" og "Kjær Herred". Hvad han ikke vidste om Østhimmerland var ikke værd at vide, og når han skrev noget, så var det i orden. Derfor er "Forvalteren på Lindenborg" heller ikke kun en roman. Det er historie serveret på en indbydende måde. Det fremgår vist også af følgende anmeldelse fra 1931: Emnet er hentet fra Lindenborgs righoldige arkiv og holder sig nær til de historiske fakta. Bogens hovedperson er Johan Anton Grabhorn, som var godsforvalter på Lindenborg 1769-71 under den berømte skatmester baron Heinrich Carl von Schimmelmann. Man får et levende billede af den tids tanker og levesæt i Østhimmerland. (Henrik Møller i Fra Himmerland og Kjær Herred 1931).

"Per Holt" var en af hovedpersonerne i romanen "Gyldholm", hvor han endte med at blive jaget bort af godsejeren, da han aktivt kæmpede for bedre arbejdsvilkår. I denne roman følger vi hans fortsatte liv, hvor han bliver ved med at kæmpe for at forbedre arbejdernes livsforhold. Processen er dog både lang og hård, og vi skal da også helt frem til næste generation, før de kastede frø begynder at blomstre. I romanen "Per Holt" følger vi den jordløse daglejers bestandige kamp for at skaffe føden. I romanen "Gyldholm" var det de herregårdsansatte husmænd, og i "En stridsmand" de små selvstændige, som næsten kunne leve af deres egen jordlod. I forening giver Skjoldborg med disse tre romaner et samlet overblik over den danske husmandsklasses livsforhold omkring år 1900.

In this post-apocalyptic sci-fi story, humanity has been devastated by the bizarre, giant humanoids known as The Titans.

It elevates the dark themes of the novel and the first graphic novel to the next illogical, insanely violent step." - COMICON.COM"Palahniuk's work takes some of our greatest shortcomings--insufficient or inadequate parenting, toxic isolation-- then magnifies and underlines them in fractured skulls and drunken vomit." - PLAYBOY"Scabby and surreal." - DEADLINE HOLLYWOOD"The first rule of the comic book incarnation of Fight Club is that it'll look good." - HOLLYWOOD REPORTER"Ambitious." - ADVENTURES IN POOR TASTE"Trippy." - EVERYTHING ACTION"The talent and care that went into this issue is palpable, from David Mack's cover to Nate Piekos' lettering... This book does not allow you to get comfortable." - COMICWATCH"Stewart continues to do the Fight Club saga justice with his artwork...flies and all." - ROGUES PORTAL"Bold...Palahniuk doesn't give us what we want here but rather what we need. Namely a story that makes the reader think not just about what's going on but also about their own expectations of the archetypes portrayed in the story; the flies buzzing on the page hinting at a character's intent; the name drop of "snowflake" for a caller I.D.; a subtle tattoo on the neck. All raising enough questions to leave us staring at every panel with the steely focus of a seasoned detective combing a crime scene for clues." - BIG COMIC PAGE
