The Last Man in New York: A City Stopped in Time

"When reporter Joe Dunn wakes atop the RCA Building after a violent storm, he expects the noise and pulse of Manhattan below. Instead, he finds a city without motion, sound, or people—an entire world halted in a single moment of time. As he wanders through silent streets, deserted buildings, and motionless rivers, he becomes convinced he may be the last man left alive. But everything changes when he discovers that he isn’t alone, and that the truth behind the frozen world may lie in the cryptic warnings of a strange man he once interviewed in New Jersey. The Last Man in New York unfolds as an atmospheric, thoughtful tale of isolation, unexpected companionship, and cosmic bookkeeping gone awry. Paul MacNamara blends urban eeriness with an imaginative twist, turning a familiar metropolis into a haunting landscape of stillness and unanswered questions. Paul MacNamara was a mid-century science-fiction writer known for his strong character voices and unexpected story turns. Writing during an era when magazines were the heart of the genre, he contributed memorable tales that blended humor, suspense, and big-idea speculation. His works often reflected the anxieties and aspirations of the postwar world, grounding cosmic possibilities in recognizable human emotions. Though less widely known today, MacNamara’s stories remain a window into the era’s inventive spirit. His writing continues to intrigue listeners and readers who enjoy imaginative storytelling with a playful but unsettling edge."

The Criminal Class: Memoir of a Prison Teacher

"Criminal Class follows the journey of a teacher working inside the criminal justice system. This amazing story will both repel you, and at the same time, draw you in. The only door in the room was now closed and sitting before me was a murderer, a rapist, an armed robber and a guy serving six years for grievous bodily harm. Each of them had a sharpened pencil in their hands; a potential weapon. I had been forewarned yet I had handed them out willingly. I looked at these four brutes trying not to stare but conscious of not looking away in fear either. All four of them had their eyes fixed on me too; sussing out the new guy. In silence I shot back a tight-lipped grin. Slowly but purposefully, I glanced at the secured metal door and, next to it, the red duress button on the wall. I guessed the distance to be three metres. I looked back at the prisoners and wondered, if it came to it, would I be able to press that button or exit the doorway before they could get to me? I didn’t fancy my chances… The Criminal Class is based on the true-life experiences of an everyday teacher who makes the precarious career transition to an Education Officer in the prison system. Dealing with both the law enforcers and the law breakers, but not bound by any normal allegiances, he finds himself having to thread the rocky path of an outsider on the inside. ‘Teaching in the jail system is a surreal experience,. In this bizarreness you encounter things that make you shake your head, shake your fist, cry your heart out, laugh your head off and blow your mind. And I felt compelled to write it down; to capture its un-realness. Hopefully I can convey some of this in The Criminal Class.’ PAUL A. MACNAMARA"
