Sinopse

In "Alf's Button," W. A. Darlington weaves a rich tapestry of narrative that blends elements of coming-of-age with a keen exploration of the human condition. Set against the backdrop of a mid-20th century industrial town, the novel captures the formative experiences of its protagonist, Alf, as he navigates the complexities of adolescence and societal expectations. Darlington employs a vivid, yet deceptively simple prose style, evoking a deep sense of place while delving into themes of identity, belonging, and the passage of time. The literary context of this work resonates with the post-war literature movement, reflecting the anxieties and hopes of a generation grappling with change and dislocation. W. A. Darlington, known for his insightful portrayals of youth and humanity, draws from his own background growing up in challenging environments. His unique perspective as a social observer and participant in the lives of ordinary people deeply informs the authenticity and emotional depth found in "Alf's Button." Through careful observation and keen empathy, Darlington masterfully portrays the struggles and triumphs inherent in the human experience, making his narrative both relatable and poignant. This novel is highly recommended for readers seeking a thoughtful exploration of youth and the intricacies of self-discovery. Darlington's ability to create a compelling narrative allows the reader to reflect on their own journey while immersing themselves in Alf's experiences. "Alf's Button" is a must-read for those interested in literature that echoes universal themes with grace and sincerity.

    Who wants to live forever?  
    No one, it turns out. 
    Paranormal detectives Arturo Brooks and Edward Smith have a problem. 
    Following an ill-advised time travel adventure, Smith is immortal...and he's not happy about it. He lashes out against everyone and everything. When the detectives go on daytime television, Smith whistleblows the existence of vampires. 
    The public fallout is immense. 
    While vampires plot revenge, the detectives and their family are targeted by protestors, monster rights activists, and an aesthetics-obsessed billionaire ready to make the men an offer that will change their lives (and afterlives) forever. 
    Can they die happily ever after? 
    About the Series 
    The Brooks & Smith series brings fast-paced science fiction and fantasy with an emphasis on humor. It follows two detectives and their makeshift family on a series of increasingly absurd adventures. These books are often silly, sometimes dark, and never child friendly. This is book 2. 
    About the Audiobook 
    Narrated by James Urbaniak (The Venture Bros., Difficult People, The Fabelmans), Time Purge will have you laughing through even its bleakest moments. It is not recommended that you listen while constructing a bridge or negotiating diplomatic peace.
