The X-Files FAQ
Author: John Kenneth MuirPublisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1495046052
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 373
Book Description
The X-Files FAQ explores Chris Carter's popular 1990s science-fiction TV series, which aired on Fox for nine seasons and inspired spin-offs, including feature films, TV shows, toys, novels, and comic books. The book explores the series in terms of its historical context and analyzes how many of the episodes tackle the events of their time: the Clinton era. The X-Files FAQ also tallies the episodes that are based on true stories, selects touchstone moments from the almost decade-long run, and organizes the series by its fantastic subject matter – from serial killers to aliens, from prehistoric menaces to ethnic and religious-based horrors. In addition, the book recalls the TV antecedents (Kolchak: The Night Stalker) and descendants (Fringe) of The X-Files, examines the two feature films, and investigates Chris Carter's other creations, including Millennium, The Lone Gunmen, Harsh Realm, and The After. Featuring numerous stills and the show's most prominent writers and directors, The X-Files FAQ allows readers to relive the “Mytharc” conspiracy and the unforgettable monsters of the week – from the Fluke Man to the Peacocks.
Little Green Men
Author: Christopher BuckleyPublisher: Corsair
ISBN: 1780336772
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
In 1994, Christopher Buckley published one of the most acclaimed and successful comic novels of the decade, Thank You for Smoking. Now Buckley returns to the strange land of Washington, D.C., in Little Green Men, a millennial comedy of manners about aliens and pundits . . . and how much they have in common. The reluctant hero of this hilarious novel is John Oliver Banion, a stuffy Washington talk-show host, whose privileged life is thrown into upheaval when aliens abduct him from his exclusive country-club golf course. But were his gray-skinned captors aliens . . . or something far more sinister? After Banion is abducted again--this time in Palm Springs--he believes he has been chosen by the extraterrestrials to champion the most important cause of the millennium, and he embarks on a crusade, appearing before a convention of UFO believers and demanding that Congress and the White House seriously investigate UFOs. His friends and family suspect that Banion is having some kind of manic-depressive midlife crisis and urge him to seek therapy before his credibility as a pillar of the punditocracy is ruined. So John Oliver Banion must choose: keep his establishment status or become the leader of millions of impassioned and somewhat scruffy new friends who want to expose the government's secret alien agenda. Little Green Men proves once and for all that the truth is out there. Way out there. And it reaffirms Christopher Buckley's status as the funniest humanoid writer in the universe.

Book Description
Murder, lies and little green men are just the beginning of a very bad day for Kat Parker. By day, Kat works as a waitress at the town's only travel center - truck stop, by night she moonlights as an armature sleuth and paranormal investigator. Life is strange and often unpredictable, but she hasn't seen anything yet. The once peaceful town of Dreamland Junction has been in chaos for weeks, and things are about to get a lot worse. A handsome stranger walks into the ET Landing Café and orders a cup of coffee. Not so unusual, except that she's been seeing the stranger's face in her dreams for weeks, and they are those kinds of dreams that no one ever talks about; the kind that sends you into a cold shower in the wee hours of the morning. To top that off, her best friend is convinced aliens are abducting him while he sleeps, not to mention a young mother is discovered dead off the side of the highway, and her five-year-old son is missing. Warning: Dreamland Junction is not your everyday town, and Kat Parker is not your everyday girl. She has a bad attitude that some might find offensive.
