Jack Cady Livres

What if you could make things vanish, purely with a simple effort of your mind? What would you do? Who would want to control that power? Jack Cady, in The Man Who Could Make Things Vanish, releases a long pent-up everyman rage against a system that is designed to terrorize, inhumanize, and degrade the human experience. The secret organization behind this villainy is given a name here--Mobilier--and the only thing that can stop it from complete world domination is one man. Cady, an outspoken critic of the military industrial complex and over-reaching government action, turns his considerable talents to pose a scathing "What if?" that is still terrifyingly relevant and cautionary today as it was when the book was first released more than thirty-five years ago. Introduction by Dale Bailey, winner of the Shirley Jackson Award.

Time moves differently in Point Vestal, a sleepy northwestern town, where ghosts from the late 19th century roam the coastal streets as freely as the town's living inhabitants. But underneath the touristy allure of this commingled past and present lies a creeping darkness.

And the only ones who can stop Starling are the town's newest residents: a defrocked Episcopalian priest and a talking cat.
