Thunderstruck
Take a hot-tempered guitarist, a mischievous drummer, and a kickass bassist, and you get VanAesir, one of the hottest underground Viking death metal bands in Seattle. But the road to the top is an endless struggle, especially for Tor Hagen, lead guitarist of VanAesir and walking disaster for all electronics. Getting through a set without a hitch is a challenge for Tor, whose uncontrollable lightning abilities are amplified through his uniquely crafted guitar, Myollnir. A few days before one of the largest metal events in the country, Tor wakes up to find his beloved Myollnir has been stolen. With a little help from his friends Frida Winters and Luca Ingram, Tor must do whatever it takes to get it back—even if gaffs and corsets are involved. A hilarious and snarky contemporary retelling of the Norse mythology story The Lay of Thrym from Poetic Edda.

The phantom tracker; or, The prisoner of the hill cave
"The Phantom Tracker; or, The Prisoner of the Hill Cave" by Frederick H. Dewey presents an intricate tapestry of adventure and mystery set against the backdrop of the untamed wilderness. This novel intricately weaves themes of survival, crime, and the supernatural, reflecting the broader literary context of 19th-century American exploration and frontier life. Dewey's vivid, evocative prose immerses readers in the stark realities of life on the fringes of society, while also introducing elements of folklore and local legend, thereby enriching the narrative with a haunting, atmospheric quality. Frederick H. Dewey, an author deeply influenced by his experiences in the American West, channels his fascination with nature and human resilience into his storytelling. His background as a wilderness explorer and his encounters with various cultures inform the rich settings and characterizations found in his work. Dewey's engagement with the themes of justice and moral ambiguity underscores a commentary on the societal struggles during his time, shedding light on the complexities of human interaction in isolated environments. This compelling novel is highly recommended for readers intrigued by adventure literature that grapples with moral dilemmas and the supernatural. "The Phantom Tracker" not only entertains but also invites readers to reflect on the thin veil between civilization and the wild, making it an essential addition to any literary collection.
