Book excerpt: "Beastly Bus Tales" is Jim Marquez's 13th self-published book in 7 years! The premise to this one is simple: 'Jack Morales', our stumbling writer of extreme minor celebrity from Jim's novel "Pieces of L.A.," has just one lousy wish: to get home after a raucous night of the white man's whiskey. For this Jack takes the bus. And, there, kids, is the rub!For after the witching hour in the City of Angels many beasts go bump in the night, and we discover that Jack is not alone. Here then are Jack's BEASTLY TALES; boots on the ground, pushing his way through the walls of madness and indignation, the wretched adrift, the drunken, the dealers, the addicts, the prostitutes, their pimps, the amateurs, the cops, the artists, the rats, (oh christ, the rats!), and the English teachers, molesters of the night all of them! Shameful, despicable gluttony; slithering its way into the second decade of the 21st century.

Download or read book Watching The Skies & Other Beastly Tales written by Jim Marquez and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2013-03-07 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Watching The Skies & Other Beastly Tales" is Jim Marquez's 14th self-published book in 8 years! A departure of sorts for Jim as he leaves the grimy confines of Downtown Los Angeles and takes us on a surreal journey across the alien landscape of a forbidden Nevada desert (through the eyes of a 'young Jack Morales'), tumbles alongside the inebriated canals of Amsterdam, looks for love in all the wrong places in Scotland, and has to run for his life in London! This collection of 'Beastly' tales of life on the rocks then returns to the warped sensibility of L.A. for a wicked homage to Nathaniel West's "Day of the Locust" (illustrated by artist Emmeric Konrad), and finally comes to a crushing halt in Jim's hometown of East L.A. In between, for how could he resist (?), Jim examines the base nature of man back on the wee-hours-streets of a changed & vanishing Downtown arts scene: Booze. Sex. Racism. Violence. Madness. Family fun for all!

Download or read book The Beastly Bride written by Ellen Datlow and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2023-01-10 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shapeshifting stories by Tanith Lee, Peter S. Beagle, Midori Snyder, Jane Yolen, and others: “Rich reading that meets the editors’ high standards.” —Kirkus Reviews In world mythology, transformation legends are attached to almost every type of animal: a variety of birds, fish, reptiles, and even insects. In this book, you’ll find stories inspired by such myths from around the world, retold and reimagined by some of the very best writers in the realm of fantasy and science fiction. In “The Puma’s Daughter” by World Fantasy Award–winning author Tanith Lee, a boy betrothed to a girl from a powerful family in the hills hears whispered rumors about his intended that describe her golden hair, her strength—and her ability to transform into a great cat. A man brings his boyfriend to his conservative hometown, teaching his little sister a lot about acceptance—and mermen—in “Map of Seventeen” by Stonewall Honor Award–author Christopher Barzak. And in “The Hikikomori” by Hiromi Goto, winner of the Commonwealth Writers’ Prize, a misfit fifteen-year-old girl, bullied at school, discovers her true form—and heroic purpose. “Twenty-two short stories and poems speak to the fascination with therianthropy (animal-human metamorphosis). From riffs on Beauty and the Beast to original tales of sexuality and an adolescent yeti, well-known fantasy and sci-fi authors create morsels that address themes as varied as coming-of-age and the environment—all while changing people into animals and vice versa.” —Booklist “This collection will appeal to fantasy lovers as it provides both stories by beloved authors and exciting new voices to discover.” —School Library Journal “A top-to-bottom very readable, engaging, book.” —SF Site

Book Synopsis P. C. Wren: Adventure Novels & Tales From the Foreign Legion by : P. C. Wren
Download or read book P. C. Wren: Adventure Novels & Tales From the Foreign Legion written by P. C. Wren and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2023-12-07 with total page 1274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This carefully edited collection has been designed and formatted to the highest digital standards and adjusted for readability on all devices. Percival Christopher Wren (1875-1941) was an English writer, mostly of adventure fiction. His novels and short stories mostly deal with colonial soldiering in Africa. While his fictional accounts of life in the pre-1914 Foreign Legion are highly romanticized, his details of Legion uniforms, training, equipment and barrack room layout are generally accurate, which has led to suggestions that Wren himself served with the legion.

She has a vivid waking dream, a memory of an earlier life centuries before in the small Somerset village of Oakey Vale, when she was murdered by an angry mob who believed her to be witch. Her grandmother decides the time is right to reveal to Kate some family secrets, including the ancient cave which houses the family tomb, over which the beautiful figure of a woman formed out of the rocks stands watch. However, just as Kate is learning to develop her second sight, her further education with her grandmother is interrupted when her father insists she return to London. He is determined that Kate forgets her grandmother's teachings and get a job in order to help support their growing family. But, nothing will keep Kate from her destiny: to take her grandmother's place as local wise woman and guardian of the mysterious cave.
Book Synopsis The Invincible Will by : Amadi Ekwutosilam Njoku
Download or read book The Invincible Will written by Amadi Ekwutosilam Njoku and published by Ukiyoto Publishing. This book was released on 2023-08-03 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coming from a ‘bush’ school to join a city one, young Achebe is determined to let his teachers and friends know that no force can withstand a mind imbued with an invincible will to succeed. Not only does he attain his dreams, but he also gains fame so that even his traducer is forced to admire him. Sometimes, the best stories are not the ones dealing with the unfathomable complexities of this life. Sometimes, the best stories are just simple didactic stories leaving us feeling nostalgic after reading them; this is what Amadi E. Njoku’s Invincible Will represents to me as I leafed through its pages. It is a novella worth reading and keeping for adults. And as for the younger generation, I am sure this story will be counted among the fond memories of childhood as you advance into adulthood. Ubaji Isiaka Abubakar Eazy Poet, Literary Critic, and Book Reviewer.

Book Synopsis The Five Hole Stories by : Dave Bidini
Download or read book The Five Hole Stories written by Dave Bidini and published by Brindle and Glass. This book was released on 2011-02-01 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each of the six stories in Dave Bidini's playful, irreverent new book takes a headlong run at the hockey dressing room, and knocks the door down. In one story, a chronic minor-leaguer discovers the wonders—and the pitfalls—of the game in Europe, both on and off the ice. In another, an NHLer is tight with his teammate, the league's leading goalscorer, but dreams of getting MUCH tighter. A star on a losing streak turns to a magical salve to turn his game around. A conversation between two friends yields surprising facts about Joan, everyone's favourite female goalie. A hundred bucks is all that stands between a hockey groupie and eternal happiness in 1950s Detroit. And finally, the eponymous 'Five Hole' itself speaks—though it never reveals all of its secrets. Full of sex, drugs and high-sticking, each of The Five Hole Stories runs its proverbial tongue down hockey's seamy, steamy underbelly and then finds language to tell us what it tastes like. A scintillating look at hockey with its clothes off, in six ambitious poses.
