Book excerpt: This masterfully crafted horror classic, featuring a brand-new introduction by Dan Simmons, will bring you to the edge of your seat, hair standing on end and blood freezing in your veins It's the summer of 1960 and in the small town of Elm Haven, Illinois, five twelve-year-old boys are forging the powerful bonds that a lifetime of change will not break. From sunset bike rides to shaded hiding places in the woods, the boys' days are marked by all of the secrets and silences of an idyllic middle-childhood. But amid the sundrenched cornfields their loyalty will be pitilessly tested. When a long-silent bell peals in the middle of the night, the townsfolk know it marks the end of their carefree days. From the depths of the Old Central School, a hulking fortress tinged with the mahogany scent of coffins, an invisible evil is rising.

Determined to exorcize this ancient plague, Mike, Duane, Dale, Harlen, and Kevin must wage a war of blood—against an arcane abomination who owns the night...

Book Synopsis Feeling British by : Evan Gottlieb
Download or read book Feeling British written by Evan Gottlieb. This book was released on 2007. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Feeling British argues that the discourse of sympathy both encourages and problematizes a sense of shared national identity in eighteenth-century and Romantic British literature and culture. Although the 1707 Act of Union officially joined England and Scotland, government policy alone could not overcome centuries of feuding and ill will between these nations. Accordingly, the literary public sphere became a vital arena for the development and promotion of a new national identity, Britishness. Feeling British starts by examining the political implications of the Scottish Enlightenment's theorizations of sympathy the mechanism by which emotions are shared between people. From these philosophical beginnings, this study tracks how sympathetic discourse is deployed by a variety of authors - including Defoe, Smollett, Johnson, Wordsworth, and Scott - invested in constructing, but also in questioning, an inclusive sense of what it means to be British.

Book Synopsis Virgil Finlay by : Virgil Finlay
Download or read book Virgil Finlay written by Virgil Finlay. This book was released on 1975. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Virgil Finlay had a life-long interest in -- ghoulies and ghosties and long leggety beasties. This great artist had a preoccupation with the fantastic and weird, and the myths and legends of antiquity fascinated him and were to become his models. When changing trends brought a decline in fantasy magazine art during the 1930s and 1940s, Finlay turned to the astrology magazines which gave him an opportunity to continue with his first love, fantasy art. Almost one hundred illustrations have been assembled for this book, including three color pieces. It was Finlay's belief that they were among his finest work, and it was a dream of his to see them collected in book form. With an introduction revealing much of his approach to the subject.
