Out Here on Our Own by J. J. Anselmi Pdf

J.J. Anselmi’s Out Here on Our Own tells the story of Rock Springs, Wyoming, a mining boomtown with a history of brutal racial violence, widespread addiction, prostitution, and a staggeringly high per-capita suicide rate—yet a place that has proved remarkably resilient. Anselmi stitches together an array of original interviews with people who’ve seen those things firsthand, tracing the boom-bust trajectory of a town known for its corruption, vice, and violence. Amid such horrors as the massacre of Chinese miners in 1885 and the ongoing methamphetamine and opioid epidemics, the town has fought hard to keep its identity of rugged individualism intact. In 2022 Rock Springs is slipping into yet another bust. Anselmi’s narrative offers searing personal accounts of a community in crisis, whose problems are fanned by severely limited mental health resources, dying industries, and Wyoming’s still-pervasive idea that people should deal with their troubles alone. In a community’s own words, Out Here on Our Own depicts a place that’s as tough and weathered as the sagebrush and sandstone surrounding it.

The Fairfield Frightless and the Mournfall Conspiracy by Kay Solo Pdf

Her best friend is a demon. Her older sister is the town's infamous spider witch. And she's pretty sure the beautiful gorgon she accidentally tripped in the hallway hates her. As the only human in her high school, Anastasia Graves is used to not fitting in. Despite being adopted by a family of powerful witches, she isn't sure what she's going to do with her future. Her classmates all have special powers, which makes getting ahead kind of tough. When she's assigned her group for senior projects, she doesn't feel much better. Among the others in her group are a siren with no voice, a necromancer who can't control her powers, and a son of the Fates whose visions of the past and future are always wrong. Once she finds out their special assignment is to go to the human world, however, Anastasia starts to feel a little more interested. This interest soon turns to terror when she realizes they've stumbled straight into a plot to take over an entire town. The only trouble is, the one seemingly behind the plot isn't from the human world—and it's someone who seems to have a special distaste for Anastasia. Before they know it, Anastasia and her group of misfits find themselves trying to save the town and uncover the mystery they've been thrown into... and hoping to make it out alive.
