Dr. Irene S. Levine on BEST FRIENDS FOREVER: Surviving a Breakup With Your Best Friend overlookpressbooks 2009-08-27 | A provocative new book, Best Friends Forever: Surviving a Breakup With Your Best Friend (Overlook Press / Paperback, $15.95 / ISBN: 978-1-59020-040-7 / September 20, 2009) explores ways women can deal with painful break-up with someone they had hoped would be their BFF.Written by psychologist Irene S. Levine, Ph.D., Best Friends Forever is the first self-help guide to consider the complexity and challenges of female friendships, including:•Why Friendships Fall Apart•How to Get Over Getting Dumped•Spotting a Toxic Friendship•How to End a Friendship That Cant Be Fixed•Moving Forward with New FriendsDrawing from her own research and the personal testimonials of more than 1500 women, Dr. Levine explores the myths of the romanticized notion of BFF, and contends that most friendships, even the best or close ones, are more fragile than permanent. Whether we are 5, 25, 55, or 75 years old, writes the author, whether our friendships end slowly (almost imperceptibly) or abruptly, these endings play havoc with our emotions leaving many unresolved, painful feelings in their wake. Dr. Levine offers effective tools for personal assessment, case stories, and actionable advice for saving, ending, or re-evaluating a relationship. Best Friends Forever concludes with an insightful chapter on how to move beyond fractured friendships and find new friends.
Book Trailer: PRIVATE MIDNIGHT by Kris Saknussemm overlookpressbooks 2009-04-16 | By the author of the mind-bending sci-fi satire Zanesville, is the demented noir mystery that takes readers into a gritty underworld that is part Chuck Palahniuk, part David Lynch, and all weird. Private Midnight (The Overlook Press / $24.95 (CAN $27.50) / ISBN: 978-1-59020-176-3) is the story of the ultimate antihero, lured down the rabbit-hole by a provocative woman with the kind of secrets that most people would be too scared to call fantasies. Detective Birch Ritter is a man on the edge—of himself. His past is filled with secrets, shadows, guilt and ghosts. Then a dubious police buddy he hasnt seen in a year introduces him to a mysterious woman who says her business is shadows. She claims to know the mysteries that lie between the darkness and light inside men. But that space between holds more than Ritter may want to find out, and much more than he can resist uncovering. To try to forget is to try to conceal, and concealing evidence is a crime. But maybe revelation is another kind of crime—against nature. With sharp dialogue and deft prose, Saknussemms detective struggles to find his way through a twisted hall of mirrors. Funny, dark, and curiously perverse, Private Midnight takes noir to the limits of the genre, into a world where even the sunlight is shadowy and deviance is the norm. A journey into the seedy, sexy underbelly of life, this is crime noir for a new generation. REVIEWS: James Ellroy meets David Lynch in this addictive mix of noir and supernatural horror from Saknussemm. PW, Starred review Saknussemm (Zanesville) creates an original blend of noir procedural, horror, and dark eroticismSaknussemm is a writer to watch. Library Journal By the end the word "freakish" doesn't even begin to describe the events of the novel Off-the-wall strange and surreal—and definitely not recommended as a Mother's Day gift. Kirkus Exciting Noir with an exotic paranormal spin. Harriet Klausner, 5 Star Review
