Kutztown University (KU) traces its origins to the Fairview Seminary. In 1860, Henry R. Nicks opened Fairview Seminary as a select school where more advanced subjects than those offered in the area were taught. In 1864, Nicks opened a new Maxatawny Seminary on the site where KU's Old Main stands today. With growth, efforts were made to convert the seminary into a public state normal school. On September 15, 1866, Maxatawny Seminary officially became Keystone State Normal School (KSNS). KSNS was dedicated to preparing students for the teaching profession. With emphasis placed on student life and the school's Pennsylvania German heritage, this book tells the story of KU from its modest beginnings as a teacher training school to its current mission of providing high-quality education.

A chance meeting in a London Hotel Bar and that was his life changed forever, but can this new found relationship last forever?

Emma E. Akin came to the oil Boomtown of Drumright, OK in 1920 to teach at the many elementary schools strewn about the oil patch. It wasn't until 1930 that she would be required to add the segregated school of Dunbar, named for the African-American poet Paul Laurence Dunbar, to her roster. Prior to this assignment, Mrs. Akin had no interaction with the African-American race and was not overjoyed to find herself in this position. However, after a year of working with the faculty and students at Dunbar School, she fell in love with this community.Frustrated at the lack of educational materials that focused on the history and contributions of African-Americans, Emma took on the task of writing a series of textbooks that depicted the children in the positive reality that she had come to know. After seven years of extensive work, The Negro American Series was published in 1938 and the books were distributed throughout the segregated schools of the south. The actual faculty, students and families of the Dunbar School are the subjects of these four pioneering academic ventures. In 1965, Emma established The Drumright Historical Society Museum and now, over 50 years since the museum's opening and 78 years since the first publishing, her contribution has been reintroduced to the world through this first reprinting of The Negro American Series.
Winnie Campbell is sixteen and a burgeoning serial killer. Her father blames her for her mother's death, dotes on her little sister, and executes increasingly cruel punishments meant to humiliate Winnie. As the punishments morph into torture, she begins fantasizing about regaining some semblance of power, eventually working through her rage by killing small animals.When her violent games escalate and she accidentally kills an infant while babysitting, Winnie gets a taste of a power she doesn't want to let go of. Her obsession with killing grows, and so does her fascination for Leigh, a girl that reminds her of her younger self.Winnie wants to kill. She wants to die. She wants to be someone other than herself. And killing Leigh, a symbolic suicide, could be the key to her metamorphosis."A shocking and utterly harrowing examination of the creation of a murderer. Although Crushing Snails excels in many areas, this novel is perhaps most skillful at effectively illustrating the very human compulsion for violence and depravity. Murray's excellent novel showcases the very human possibility of carnage-the horrifying prospect of brutality-when curiosity is sated and when we finally surrender to our most feral desires."-Eric LaRocca, author of Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke"Masterfully executed and chilling to the core, Crushing Snails is a terrifying look into the darkest depths of the human mind and the ways in which monsters are formed. With the intensity level set to high, Murray draws you into complicity as you witness one girl's spiral into obsession and depravity, culminating in a horrifying conclusion you'll never forget."-Kelsea Yu, Shirley Jackson Award-nominated author of Bound Feet"A nightmare of power and control, or perhaps even something more wayward. Crushing Snails is provocative and demanding, spiraling and unapologetic. Emma Murray is an exciting emerging voice in horror challenging what is normal and what is safe."-Cynthia Pelayo, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Crime Scene"Sick, twisted, and compulsively readable-Emma E. Murray's Crushing Snails is a coming-of-age story that goes to dark and darker places, leaving me constantly hanging between two modes of thought: one-more-chapter and holy-fucking-shit." -Carson Winter, author of The Psychographist
"This sapphic, Southern tale of love, murder and liberation is] addictive, satisfying, and an all-around must-read." -George Dunn, FanFiAddictIn When the Devil, Libby finds salvation in a new sapphic partner, homebrewed poison, and facing a God she no longer believes in."In When the Devil, Murray's lips curl back to reveal fangs. With sharp and southern prose, this story of awakening beats with the bloody empowered tang of reclamation." -Scott J. Moses, author of Our Own Unique Affliction
