Danse Macabre

You probably won’t be able to buy this book, but if you want to delve into the relationship between Tim Burton and Danny Elfman this is a must read.

Both men grew up with stop motion monster films and other assorted off the beaten track horror films. Neither man had any inkling of the bond that would be cemented in their 25 years of collaborating on motion pictures.

H.M.S. Ulysses

Alistair MacLean loved to write high adventure stories. This one is no different. He also loved the sea and in particular fighting ships and the men aboard them.

This book delves into the relationships among the men aboard the H.M.S. Ulysses, the impossible task of guarding a convoy leaving Great Britain and heading toward the Arctic port of Murmansk, and the fortunes and fears of how the enemy in the sky and on the sea would engage the ship.

The Chili Queen

Sandra Dallas describes each of the following characters in some detail throughout the book:

• Addie—owner and madam of “The Chili Queen” hookhouse in Nalgitas, New Mexico.
  Emma—more or less a mail order bride who meets Addie on a train from Kansas City.
  Wellcome—chief cook and bottle washer (when motivated) of The Chili Queen. A large black woman with  a mind of her own.
  Ned—Addie’s toy boy who came west because he hated farming and decided to work (if that’s what it’s called) on the “shady” side of the law.
  John—Emma’s brother, a flinty sort who says little, but exhorts Emma to find a good investment for the   inheritance that Emma considered she was cheated out of.
