Most Popular Books by Guy Endore

Endore’s classic werewolf novel—now back in print for the first time in over forty years—helped define a genre and set a new standard in horror fiction The werewolf is one of the great iconic figures of horror in folklore, legend, film, and literature. And connoisseurs of horror fiction know that The Werewolf of Paris is a cornerstone work, a masterpiece of the genre that deservedly ranks with Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, Bram Stoker’s Dracula, and Robert Louis Stevenson’s The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Endore’s classic novel has not only withstood the test of time since it was first published in 1933, but it boldly used and portrayed elements of sexual compulsion in ways that had never been seen before, at least not in horror literature. In this gripping work of historical fiction, Endore’s werewolf, an outcast named Bertrand Caillet, travels across pre-Revolutionary France seeking to calm the beast within. Stunning in its sexual frankness and eerie, fog-enshrouded visions, this novel was decidedly influential for the generations of horror and science fiction authors who came afterward.

A terrific comic now becomes a terrific book." -Larry King Did you know that da Vinci sketched the prototype for the iPod? Or that before settling on cookies, Chinese restaurants experimented with putting fortunes in broccoli? Learn more about life in Brevity. Authors Guy Endore-Kaiser and Rodd Perry combine their satirical tendencies with a minimalist illustration style to create Brevity, a single-panel comic that Shakespeare himself declares "the soul of wit." This Brevity treasury features cartoons from the Brevity and Brevity 2 book collections. No sporks, spheres, penguins, or superheroes were injured in the creation of this treasury. Brevity dares to ponder such thoughtful perplexities as the difference in fulfillment between hot-air and cold-air balloon rides, the inherent dilemmas involved in eating Chinese alphabet soup, and the pros and cons of playing the violin or the fiddle.

Featuring a diverse array of nerds, animals, and sporks in unusual yet completely relatable situations, Brevity illustrates that succinctness is indeed the soul of wit.

"What hope is there for a man so desperate for money to support his drug addiction that he drove the girl he loved to prostitution--and, ultimately, suicide? Or another man, who frustrated the attempts of some of America''s top psychiatrists to halt his ten year run of dope addiction and crime? Synanon. This book about Synanon, a highly controversial organization dedicated to curing drug addiction, explains, among other things, why it makes newspaper headlines. Its non-orthodox methods of handling addicts, its outspoken attitude toward traditional treatments, and its all-addict administration have made it a target for sharp criticism and bitter persecution. Each year of Synanon''s existence has been a struggle for survival. Money is always short. Facilities for feeding and housing members are never-ending problems. Antiquated laws and unsympathetic public officials have often thrown up seemingly insurmountable barriers. But Synanon, in the business of human survival, has itself learned to survive. Under the determined leadership of its remarkable founder, Chuck Dederich, it grew from a handful of desperate people living in an old storefront to an organization of over 900 members, with facilities in New York, Detroit, San Diego, Los Angeles and San Francisco. And in the final analysis, the pros and cons of Synanon''s unorthodox methods, the questions of why and how it works become relatively unimportant--it does work." -- Provided by publisher
