Rheumatiks and Their Remedies: A Two-Part Examinasion. Dr. Heinrich Wurthing. The novelization of a peculiar case takes up the bulk of the second volume; Doctor Wurthing always being a bit more literary in his hopes than he ever told the publisher.

Upon Reaching the North Pole and Travelling Back Therefrom, the Memories I Have Retained. Alexander Milhouse. A travel journal of the forty-first man to lead a successful expedition to the North Pole, written in a fanciful style reminiscent of other famous works of excessive self-aggrandizement from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Bound in hand-stitched caribou. All first copies are hand-signed by the author.

how to utter a killing word. Em. L. Foster. The fourth and final volume of short stories from Em. L. Foster. Her style and prose are often compared to men of her acquaintance as if she had stolen her stories from them, which most readers will find unsurprising. Critics are fond of overlooking her autobiography in which she explicitly deconstructs her creation of fourteen male pseudonyms under which to write often incredibly contentious opinions and novels. The longest of these, Though I Dream Upon You, My Fear, has received no fewer than four prestigious industry awards, despite being based closely upon an unpublished essay by Em. L. Foster written fourteen years prior about the most efficient way to torture an ex-lover. Because of Foster's incredible breadth, it is difficult to assign any position to her personally, though the argument can be made that the works published under her own name would more properly be considered as representative. If this is the case, and how to utter a killing word is her own position, she is actually a colonial apologist.
