Summary

In "The Crimson Flash," Roy J. Snell weaves a compelling narrative that explores themes of adventure, morality, and the complexities of human nature. Set against a backdrop of early 20th-century America, the story follows the enigmatic figure of the Crimson Flash, a masked hero who navigates the fine line between justice and vigilantism. Snell's prose is marked by its vivid imagery and fast-paced dialogue, evoking the serials of his time while also reflecting the moral uncertainties present in society. The novel belongs to the genre of early crime fiction, embodying elements of pulp literature that interrogate the allure of heroism and the shadows it casts over the criminal world. Roy J. Snell, active predominantly in the 1920s and 1930s, was a prolific writer whose works often mirrored the cultural tensions of post-war America. Having gained experience as a newspaper journalist, Snell possessed an acute understanding of both public sentiment and the intricacies of crime. This background likely motivated him to craft narratives that spoke to the American psyche, eliciting excitement while addressing ethical dilemmas faced by individuals. His interest in adventure tales and complex characters often results in layered storytelling that invites reflection. For readers who enjoy tales steeped in action, moral ambiguity, and richly drawn characters, "The Crimson Flash" is a must-read. Snell's unique perspective and stylistic flair offer not only an engaging adventure but also a deeper commentary on the nature of heroism and societal justice. This work is an essential addition to the library of any enthusiast of early 20th-century literature and crime fiction.

    It's here: Volume One of the official Guys Read Library. Jon Scieszka's Guys Read initiative was founded on a simple premise: that young guys enjoy reading most when they have reading they can enjoy. And out of this comes a series that aims to give them just that. Ten books, arranged by theme, featuring the best of the best where writing for kids is concerned. Each book is a collection of original short stories, but these aren't your typical anthologies—each book is edgy, inventive, visual, and one-of-a-kind, featuring a different theme for guys to get excited about.  
    Funny Business is based around the theme of—what else—humor, and if you're familiar with Jon and Guys Read, you already know what you're in store for: ten hilarious stories from some of the funniest writers around. Before you're through, you'll meet a teenage mummy; a kid desperate to take a dip in the world's largest pool of chocolate milk; a homicidal turkey; parents who hand over their son's room to a biker; the only kid in his middle school who hasn't turned into a vampire, wizard, or superhero; and more. And the contributor list includes bestselling author, award winners, and fresh new talent alike: Mac Barnett, Eoin Colfer, Christopher Paul Curtis, Kate DiCamillo (writing with Jon Scieszka), Paul Feig, Jack Gantos, Jeff Kinney, David Lubar, Adam Rex, and David Yoo. 
    Guys Read is all about turning young readers into lifelong ones—and with this book, and each subsequent installment in the series, we aim to leave no guy unturned.
