Book excerpt: Millions of people have read, discussed, debated, cried, and cheered with Little Bee, a Nigerian refugee girl whose violent and courageous journey puts a stunning face on the worldwide refugee crisis. “Little Bee will blow you away.” —The Washington Post The lives of a sixteen-year-old Nigerian orphan and a well-off British woman collide in this page-turning #1 New York Times bestseller, book club favorite, and “affecting story of human triumph” (The New York Times Book Review) from Chris Cleave, author of Gold and Everyone Brave Is Forgiven. We don’t want to tell you too much about this book. It is a truly special story and we don’t want to spoil it. Nevertheless, you need to know something, so we will just say this: It is extremely funny, but the African beach scene is horrific. The story starts there, but the book doesn’t. And it’s what happens afterward that is most important. Once you have read it, you’ll want to tell everyone about it. When you do, please don’t tell them what happens either. The magic is in how it unfolds.

Book excerpt: The Glass is a contemporary Gothic Horror ghost story. Christopher Higson procures an ornate, cheval-glass mirror amongst the cultural carrion at a house clearance on the ancient and heirless Bradley Estate, a gift for his wife, Maria, to help save their dying marriage. Their young son, William, caught in the crossfire in the battle between his parents, suddenly finds an imaginary friend, Jenny, and the only time he sees her is in the mirror. Amongst the blood and broken glass, Christopher and Maria try to save their marriage, and themselves, as they discover the horrible truth about William's imaginary friend. Does anyone know the damage we inflict upon our children? Innocently or deliberately, ignorantly or purposefully, does anyone see anything more than themselves in a mirror? There is no horror except that which we create for ourselves.

Download or read book Benson's House written by John Milner and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2014-07-23 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1864 art debut of Sarah Taggart Benson’s spurred wide acclaim among New York society. Many thought a woman artist would not be taken seriously, but her popularity grew, spawning an insurrection against rigid Victorian standards, and a following of counter-culturists known as the Urban Romantics. They congregated in the downstairs galley and in the basement tavern of the brownstone she shared with her husband in Greenwich Village. The rooms evolved in accord as a center of a new artistic universe known affectionately as Benson’s House. Then one day the balance became unbroken. Throughout five generations, her family kept hold of the reins of the chariot, cultivating art and music to restore the balance and speak for the common man against the oppressions of institutional authority. The culture grew with certain defiance, nurturing slave songs to speak boldly throughout Post Impressionism, Jazz, Flappers and Bootleg Whiskey, The New Masses, Folk Music, Beatniks, and disciples of Rock & Roll. This is their saga - an American love story accumulated over a hundred years - passed down through the generations by tavern discourse.

Book Synopsis Somewhere in the Night by : Nicholas Christopher
Download or read book Somewhere in the Night written by Nicholas Christopher and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2010-05-11 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Film noir is more than a cinematic genre. It is an essential aspect of American culture. Along with the cowboy of the Wild West, the denizen of the film noir city is at the very center of our mythological iconography. Described as the style of an anxious victor, film noir began during the post-war period, a strange time of hope and optimism mixed with fear and even paranoia. The shadow of this rich and powerful cinematic style can now be seen in virtually every artistic medium. The spectacular success of recent neo-film noirs is only the tip of an iceberg. In the dead-on, nocturnal jazz of Charlie Parker and Miles Davis, the chilled urban landscapes of Edward Hopper, and postwar literary fiction from Nelson Algren and William S. Burroughs to pulp masters like Horace McCoy, we find an unsettling recognition of the dark hollowness beneath the surface of the American Dream. Acclaimed novelist and poet Nicholas Christopher explores the cultural identity of film noir in a seamless, elegant, and enchanting work of literary prose. Examining virtually the entire catalogue of film noir, Christopher identifies the central motif as the urban labyrinth, a place infested with psychosis, anxiety, and existential dread in which the noir hero embarks on a dangerously illuminating quest. With acute sensitivity, he shows how technical devices such as lighting, voice over, and editing tempo are deployed to create the film noir world. Somewhere in the Night guides us through the architecture of this imaginary world, be it shot in New York or Los Angeles, relating its elements to the ancient cultural archetypes that prefigure it. Finally, Christopher builds an explanation of why film noir not only lives on but is currently enjoying a renaissance. Somewhere in the Night can be appreciated as a lucid introduction to a fundamental style of American culture, and also as a guide to film noir's heyday. Ultimately, though, as the work of a bold talent adeptly manipulating poetic cadence and metaphor, it is itself a superb aesthetic artifact.

Book Synopsis Faith, Hope and Christopher by : Clive Perry
Download or read book Faith, Hope and Christopher written by Clive Perry and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2008-01-29 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Faith, Hope and Christopher is a novel, not a history book. The intention is to intrigue, entertain and maybe even scandalise the more serious minded reader. Historical gaps have been filled seamlessly with plausible invention, for example, the six months or so when Christopher Wren disappeared have been accounted for and details about Faith Coghill of whom there is almost no available information come vividly to light. Christopher Wren, who accomplished so much must have been propelled by a ruthless determination from within and pressures from without. And behind every such man is a determined woman.

Book Synopsis The Birthing House by : Christopher Ransom
Download or read book The Birthing House written by Christopher Ransom and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2009-08-04 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was expecting them. Conrad and Joanna Harrison, a young couple from Los Angeles, attempt to save their marriage by leaving the pressures of the city to start anew in a quiet, rural setting. They buy a Victorian mansion that once served as a haven for unwed mothers, called a birthing house. One day when Joanna is away, the previous owner visits Conrad to bequeath a vital piece of the house's historic heritage, a photo album that he claims "belongs to the house." Thumbing through the old, sepia-colored photographs of midwives and fearful, unhappily pregnant girls in their starched, nineteenth-century dresses, Conrad is suddenly chilled to the bone: staring back at him with a countenance of hatred and rage is the image of his own wife.... Thus begins a story of possession, sexual obsession, and, ultimately, murder, as a centuries-old crime is reenacted in the present, turning Conrad and Joanna's American dream into a relentless nightmare. An extraordinary marriage of supernatural thrills and exquisite psychological suspense, The Birthing House marks the debut of a writer whose first novel is a terrifying tour de force.
