An incredible true story of murder, romance, and a fateful search for utopia in the Galápagos-from the New York Times bestselling author of The Ghosts of Eden Park "Abbott Kahler's wickedly gothic tale confronts an essential truth about those who ditch civilization: Try as we might, humans cannot elude the tyranny of our own nature."-Hampton Sides, author of The Wide Wide Sea "With taut prose and sublime storytelling, Kahler crafts an atmospheric page-turner, ominous and thought-provoking."-Kate Moore, author of The Radium Girls and The Woman They Could Not SilenceAt the height of the Great Depression, Los Angeles oil mogul George Allan Hancock and his crew of Smithsonian scientists came upon a gruesome scene: two bodies, mummified by the searing heat, on the shore of a remote Galápagos island. For the past four years Hancock and other American elites had traveled the South Seas to collect specimens for scientific research. On one trip to the Galápagos, Hancock was surprised to discover an equally exotic group of humans: European exiles who had fled political and economic unrest, hoping to create a utopian paradise. One was so devoted to a life of isolation that he'd had his teeth extracted and replaced with a set of steel dentures. As Hancock and his fellow American explorers would witness, paradise had turned into chaos. The three sets of exiles-a Berlin doctor and his lover, a traumatized World War I veteran and his young family, and an Austrian baroness with two adoring paramours-were riven by conflict. Petty slights led to angry confrontations. The baroness, wielding a riding crop and pearl-handled revolver, staged physical fights between her two lovers and unabashedly seduced American tourists. The conclusion was deadly: with two exiles missing and two others dead, the survivors hurled accusations of murder. Using never-before-published archives, Abbott Kahler weaves a chilling, stranger-than-fiction tale worthy of Agatha Christie. Set against the backdrop of the Great Depression and the march to World War II, with a mystery as alluring and curious as the Galápagos itself, Eden Undone explores the universal and timeless desire to seek utopia-and lays bare the human fallibility that, inevitably, renders such a quest doomed.
Eden in the Afternoon is a collection of stories about the way we live and breathe.Eden in the Afternoon, the second collection of short stories by 17-year-old author Elaine Castillo, explores the mystery of houses and the space in which human beings live and breathe. From a decaying castle to a house made of human bodies, from a post-exodus shanty to a living room couch, Castillo delves into a study of where the house ends and the human begins.
Although she is ashamed of them, Ellen’s deep blue crossed eyes are exotic, erotic, appealing, appalling, and—much to the chagrin of her father—fascinating to the boy who grows into the only man she wants in her life. Running in and out of each other’s lives for decades, they share intimacies, family problems, triumphs and tragedies every time they meet, but can their love ever be complete?
Home Anthology is a volume of memoirs-essays and poems-revolving around a common theme: home. The writing is solid, down to earth, and emotive. - Sue Miller

The Bible is as strange as it is surprising. Even its most well-known stories can catch us off guard, revealing things about God and about ourselves that we had not seen before. Nowhere is this more true than with the book of Genesis. Its iconic accounts of shepherds and nomads, apple-eaters and ark-builders, sharpen our view of human life and the God who works in the midst of it. With empathy and imagination, Eden and Afterward traces the first notes of the song of grace which plays throughout the entire Bible.
