BUZZ MAGAZINE - October offers a bountiful harvest of great books by some of our top authors. Best-selling author John Grisham returns to Mississippi in The Boys from Biloxi with a gripping legal thriller of two sons of immigrant families who grow up as friends but ultimately find themselves on opposite sides of the law. Biloxi is noted for its beaches, resorts and seafood, but it has a darker side of gambling, prostitution, bootleg liquor, drugs and contract killings. Keith Rudy and Hugh Malco were childhood friends. But Keith’s father became a legendary prosecutor determined to clean up the coast, while Hugh’s father became the boss of Biloxi’s criminal underground. The two families head for the ultimate showdown in a courtroom. Jodi Piccoult turns to mystery and suspense in Mad Honey which features two families who find refuge in small-town New Hampshire.

BUZZ MAGAZINE - The Union Miners Cemetery, Mt. Olive the burial place of the great labor agitator and champion of mining families, Mary Harris Jones, is the site of a celebration in remembrance of a seminal victory of the United Mine Workers of America coal miners at Virden, Illinois on October 12, 1898. The coal company locked the union miners out of the mine and brought in a trainload of hungry men, most were Black men, all desperate for work to feed their families. Armed detectives accompanied the would-be miners on the train. As the train approached the Virden mine a gun battle began. Miners and guards died. The Union miners prevailed and went back to work.

Today the UMWA represents union miners across the country. Four miners from Mt. Olive were killed in the battle, but the City of Mt. Olive and the local business

BUZZ MAGAZINE - Oh, to be a kid in the late 80s again. If I could, I would go back to that young boy who begged and pleaded to his dad to rent a certain movie on VHS. The movie was The Monster Squad , a horror/comedy that sadly disappeared in the theaters. Audiences corrected their mistake once it went to home video and cable when they realized what they missed. More silly fun than terrifying The Monster Squad was written by Shane Black of Iron Man 3 and 2018’s The Predator fame and Fred Dekker, ( Night of the Creeps ) and also The Predator . 1987 was Black’s year, the man hit a triple with successes. Not only did he co-star in the mega-hit original P redator , but he also wrote the franchise creating Lethal Weapon as well as co-write this; not too shabby. The Monster Squad is an ode to the universal monster mash-up with some rude and crude kids and juvenile humor sprinkled in. Trying to ride on the coattails of previous hits like Ghostbusters and The
