The Wicker King is a psychological young adult thriller that follows two friends struggling as one spirals into madness.

"An eerie and mesmerizing thriller that questions the space where reality and perception overlap, The Wicker King is a spine-tingling read that will have you riveted." --Caleb Roerhrig, author of Last Seen Leaving and White Rabbit

Jack once saved August's life . . . now can August save him?

August is a misfit with a pyro streak and Jack is a golden boy on the varsity rugby team--but their intense friendship goes way back. Jack begins to see increasingly vivid hallucinations that take the form of an elaborate fantasy kingdom creeping into the edges of the real world. With their parents' unreliable behavior, August decides to help Jack the way he always has--on his own. He accepts the visions as reality, even when Jack leads them on a quest to fulfill a dark prophecy.

August and Jack alienate everyone around them as they struggle with their sanity, free falling into the surreal fantasy world that feels made for them. In the end, each one must choose his own truth.

Written in vivid micro-fiction with a stream-of-consciousness feel and multimedia elements, K. Ancrum's The Wicker King touches on themes of mental health and explores a codependent relationship fraught with tension, madness and love.

Good paper towels.
At the time of my review this set of 16 double layered paper towels are going for about $18.99. Not a bad price for a namebrand paper towel. I usually use Great Value paper towels because they are not only inexpensive but have good absorbency so it was interesting to compare it to the Scott namebrand, whom I use just about exclusively for my toilet tissue. The papertowels worked well as I expected them to but I did not specifically see a dramatic difference between it and the ones I usually used. The only noticeable differences to me were: - Scott paper towels had a prettier pattern - Scott paper towels visually had a much more tidy design and *looked* higher quality - Scott paper towels felt softer to the touch As for absorbency though? I felt like they performed identically. And trust me, we burn through paper towels. We have two small children and still have to wash bottles daily. So, we try to balance cost versus efficacy for papertowels because we use them so much every day. For the what they are these are great, but I will probably stick to the other brand unless I'm in a pinch and need to order papertowels more conveniently OR if these ever go on sale or have a coupon. I don't need my papertowels to look or feel pretty (the sloppy floral print and more coarse feel of the GV ones work for us right now because they are used exclusively for clean up), I need them to absorb and pick up gunk well. Would I still recommend these, though? Absolutely. Maybe appearance and texture are more important to you for a paper towels. We aren't there yet with our littles. Lol.

Just pay for the better ones, these are cheap junk. They can’t even be torn off without falling apart.

MY DOG LOVES IT
Size: 20.0"L x 20.0"W x 6.0''TH, Style: Round, Pattern Name: Bed
MY CHIHUAHUA WON'T GET OUT OF THIS BED! she loves it! from the first moment we brought it in and put it on the floor. she gently scratches at the sides and cuddles in with her blankey and likes she's not there. ohhh... great value for the price! nice size, big enough for both of my chihuahuas to lay in comfortably. soft, but very sturdy sides, the bottom is fluffy, padded very well. the outside bottom, there is a non stick covering so the bed doesn't scootch around on tile floor, it stays put.

It's lasted
Size: 20.0"L x 20.0"W x 6.0''TH, Style: Round, Pattern Name: Bed
I've had this bed for 5 years and it is still in great shape. Washes up in the washing machine just fine. My littlest dog absolutely loves it and is lost when our other bigger dog steals it. She barely fits in it but she loves it too. Ha! Good quality at a good price. Couldn't ask for more.

My Puppy Loves It.
Size: 20.0"L x 20.0"W x 6.0''TH, Style: Round, Pattern Name: Bed
I didn't know what to expect when I saw this advertised, but some reviews said that their puppy had chewed on it and it was still holding up with no holes. So, I decided to get it and see for myself. I have to say that my puppy loves it and chews on it and it is holding up very well. No holes yet and I suspect after all her chewing and no holes, there won't be any. Nice size for a 25 pound dog and smaller. Well built and nice looking bed. It has enough padding to make it soft for my puppy. I got it big enough, so she can grow into it, too. Well satisfied and I do recommend it.
