Spoiler City: A Preview of *Homicide: Ruined For Life,* the Second Homicide Movie
By Tom Fontana
In this book, Mr. Fontana discusses his exciting plans for the follow-up to the inspirational feel-good film of the year, his much-beloved "Homicide: The Movie." He doesn't want to reveal too much, but Mr. Fontana does drop a few hints about plot developments to come.

What will happen to:

Det. Tim Bayliss?
"Well basically, while in Riker's Island Prison, he'll be stricken with smallpox, lose all of his arms and legs in a brawl with some skinheads, and develop male pattern baldness just after finding out that his mother never loved him. Then a crazy man will pour boiling soup over his face."

Frank Pembleton?
"He'll have a second stroke that leaves him permanently paralyzed. His wife Mary will then abandon him and take the children to an undisclosed location."

Mike Kellerman?
"He'll be arrested for littering, fined $10,000, and then murdered in prison by the same skinheads who cut off Bayliss's arms and legs."

John Munch and Kay Howard?
"Ummm . . . Who are these people again? Did I--are these characters *I* created??? 'Cause I'm drawing a blank here."

Critical Perspectives on *Homicide: The Movie*
This book brings together today's best minds in film criticism. Our distinguished authors present essays that are sometimes controversial and sometimes brash, but always exciting. They're guaranteed to give you new perspectives on the movie--and perhaps also on life itself.

Maggie the Cat's You Said *That*?!?!
BWAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHA!!!!
Every say anything dumb on Schism? Ever write something that you were a little embarrassed of afterward? Be afraid, then--be very afraid. In this book, which required hours of research in the Schism Archive, Maggie the Cat finds all of the dumb things anyone ever said and then quotes them out of context. Guaranteed to provide hours of amusement . . . until you get to the page where *you're* quoted.

NOTE: It has been determined that if you read this book backward after having taken six hits of acid, you will be exposed to the entire text of Maggie the Cat's heretical "Die, Sniveling Maggot" poem about Officer Chris Thormann. Buyers are therefore strongly cautioned.

Dooshka Dashka's Tales of Computer Terrorism
This very special collection of fan fiction was written on the sly by Dasha on her tyrannical father's computer. Alternately arousing, heart-warming, and amusing, these stories all share one thing: they're less than one page long!

An ENTIRE STORY from the book:

Mikey and Meldrick wanted to have sex again, so they climbed on the bed together and then gra

Homicide Rareslash: It's About Time
by Mary Schons and Valeria
This book boldly goes where no sane person has gone before. Wildly improbable pairings that the authors call "intriguing" and "refreshing" are suggested, as are demented Byzantine crossover plot ideas. This book *will* change the way you think about Tim Bayliss and the Incredible Hulk. In bed. Yes, we're sorry. We at the press are *very* sorry. Please forgive us, readers.

Ideas from the book:

"One crossover *dying* to be written is H:LOTS and Hee Haw. Munch and Buck Owens were meant for each other!"

"You'll kick yourself in the head for not having thought about it before, but how about writing a story in which each member of the H:LOTS cast discovers that in a previous life s/he was one of Jim Henson's Muppets?? And how about *setting* the story in the Medieval era??? Some *great* potential there, people!!"

The Ties That Bind: A New Look at Season 7
by Brenda
This book does what no one thought could be done: it gives us a reason to watch season 7. The plan is ingenious: instead of focusing on plot, character development, or dialogue, Brenda recommends that viewers instead take note of the ties that each character wears.

From the introduction:
"Figuring out who wears which tie when, and in which episode, and how many times each character wears the same tie, and whether said tie matches the rest of the character's outfit, proves to be infinitely more engaging and worthwhile than trying to figure out what the hell is going on in the season 7 episodes."

Totally changed the way I watched the show! Geoffrey Beene

Why I'm Delighted With the Onelist Family Filter
by Rachel

From the pamphlet:
"I've tried to find ways to filter e-mail from my family for years, but with no success. Now I can make sure that I never have to hear from those bastards again! For the first time in years, the Internet is a safe place for me. Thank you, Onelist!"
