You are the new girl in town. Cragrock is an amazing ocean-side vacation town, but as Autumn approaches, a mystery emerges from the dying shadows of summer. In Cragrock YOU MAKE THE KEY CHOICES, guiding your own story of mystery and teen romance. Cragrock is a strange place where legends are real and the boy who just asked you to the School Dance might be a witch, a ghost, or a merman from the sea. Now, an unwanted visitor stalks the streets and beaches. One thing is for certain, if you aren't careful, you and your new friends will meet a terrible end. With wits and courage you can find love and save Cragrock from a most evil spirit in this tale of the supernatural where YOU ARE IN CONTROL OF EVERY TWISTED TURN.

After surviving your first summer in Cragrock life is almost normal. Unfortunately "normal" in Cragrock is likely to include all sorts of strange and unpleasant events. Fortunately, the choices in this story are entirely up to you! In this Cragrock Adventure the Homecoming Dance is just around the corner and you're hoping some nice boy will ask you out. Unfortunately the nice boys are dropping like flies. By day you take dance lessons and drop major hints on your boyfriend to ask you to Homecoming (provided he lives long enough to go.) By night you follow grisly clues, trying to solve the boyfriend murders. But watch out! One wrong turn and you might find yourself eaten by the man-faced dog or strapped to the table of the mad scientists who wants to borrow your arms...and your legs...and maybe your brain also. Every twisted turn is up to you as you try to solve the mystery, maintain a respectable social life, and avoid dismemberment.

Excerpt from The Cinder Buggy: A Fable in Iron, and SteelThe town has nothing to sell except the finest wrought iron in the world. As the quality of this iron is historic and the form of it a standard muck bar for use in further manufacture you order it from afar at a price based on what is current in Pittsburgh.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

WHEN the reviewers must review a popular book about oil, or the history of the automobile, or the development of water power, they have a way of saying that they found it more interesting than fiction. There is a new novel called The Cinder Buggy, by Mr. Garet Garrett, which gives particular point to this way of saying. The Cinder Buggy is an epic of steel, to borrow another convention of the reviewers; together with a disclosure of various fictional human minds there runs the true story of the development of steel in this country, and it is the latter is the absorbing, exciting part of Mr. Garrett’s book; indeed, it is perhaps not too enthusiastic to say that there is not anywhere else in literature an account of the Pittsburg Era so compelling, so dramatic as is here. Reading, we had the feeling that the author held an immense grip on the history of steel, knew it as he knows the inside of his pocket; the steel sections of this novel were so good that they quite overwhelmed the story sections; we found ourselves bending back the pages which continued the plot to see how far it was until there would be more description of ore or pig iron or wrought iron or steel, just as in the opposite way in other novels we have sometimes turned the long pages describing “scenery” to see when the story would begin again. And as we finished The Cinder Buggy we asked ourselves whether it was not inevitable that any book, no matter by however able a writer, which aimed to reveal human minds and emotions and to tell the story of a thing at the same time, as this novel does, would end by doing the latter and not the former. In a novel, as in life itself, “the thing runs wild, and doth the “man unking.” In the novel, Le Maitre de Forges, Georges Ohnet set forth characters which, like Mr. Garrett’s characters, cannot bend or be bent, and so must break or be broken. But Ohnet decided to make his principal character into an iron-master after he had conceived him as a man. It is our guess that Mr. Garet Garrett conceived his men and women as part of the history of steel first and made them flesh and blood.

Garet Garrett's fiction deals with the social impact of economic transformations. In The Driver, he deals with railroads, while Satan's Bushel examines agricultural. The Cinder Buggy, his second in the trilogy, is the longest of the three and his true epoch novel and unforgettable masterpiece. With a great story, and tremendous literary passion, it chronicles the transformation of America from the age of iron to the age of steel. It covers the period between 1820 and 1870 and its dramatic technology march. The plot concerns an ongoing war between two industrialists, one the hero who is beaten in the first generation and the other who is malevolent but initially wins a first round in the competitive drive. The struggle continues through the second generation, which leads to a titanic battle over whether steel or iron would triumph and why. Garrett does not portray the market as some idealized utopia. We have here the full range of human emotion and motivation at work: arrogance, pride, malice, love, compassion, jealousy, rage, and everything else. What is striking is that all these emotions play themselves out in a setting that is ultimately peaceful. No one can fully control price movements, and it is these that act to reward virtues and punish vices. There has never been, before or since, economic fiction that can compare with this super high quality standards set by Garrett in these smashing novels. The Cinder Buggy could easily be considered the best of his work in this area. It is a wonderful novel for anyone who loves, or wants to more deeply understand, American history, economic theory, and the place of technology in the molding of society. 365 page paperback 2007
