Book Synopsis Even Grimmer by : Azrael Dade Burton
Download or read book Even Grimmer written by Azrael Dade Burton and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2024-02-14 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introducing "Even Grimmer: A Collection of Darkly Humorous Stories, Poems, Fables, and Rhymes." Delve into a world where the whimsical meets the macabre, where innocence is stripped away to reveal the sinister truths lurking beneath the surface. In this eclectic anthology, readers will find themselves drawn into a tapestry of short stories, poems, fables, and rhymes that defy convention and challenge the boundaries of darkness and humor. From twisted retellings of beloved fairy tales like "The True Story of Hansel and Gretel," where the woods hold secrets far more chilling than gingerbread houses, to dark parodies of cherished nursery rhymes like "The Old Lady Who Lived in a Shoe," where the rhyme takes a sinister turn into the depths of despair, each piece in this collection invites readers to explore the shadows of the familiar. Prepare to be unsettled as you encounter tales of whimsical darkness, where laughter mingles with unease, and the boundaries between comedy and horror blur. These are not stories to be shared with children before bedtime-or perhaps ever. Instead, they are tales meant to be savored by those who dare to journey into the depths of the human psyche, where darkness and humor intertwine in unexpected ways. With its blend of dark wit, twisted narratives, and unsettling imagery, "Twisted Tales and Morbid Rhymes" is a must-read for those who revel in the macabre and delight in the unexpected. Enter its pages if you dare, but beware-once you venture into this realm of dark humor, there may be no turning back.
Book Synopsis A Christian Critique of American Culture by : Julian Hartt
Download or read book A Christian Critique of American Culture written by Julian Hartt and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2006-04-01 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bad conscience is rampant in the church, asserts Julian Hartt. There is the feeling that the church has mislead the contemporary world by its own commitment to archaic symbols and outworn attitudes. It has continued to endorse and defend a system of values that has eroded almost past recognition. Dr. Hartt shows how this acute anxiety over bad conscience prompts the radical reorientation of Christian thinking identified as theology of culture. The heralds of the New Morality have not been reluctant to point this out, and to demand from the church a fairly severe penance: a readiness to give up the ghost if it cannot secularize its Gospel without reservation or residue. But, the author says, the church cannot do this faithfully if it simply looks piously to the past, hopeful to heaven, and with good old American optimism to the future. In this timely and fresh theology of culture for the American situation, the author shows that a deep concern for contemporary culture is an elementary and indispensable part of authentic Christian theological reflection. The revelation of God in Jesus Christ, he contends, gives us both a foundation and a critical posture for the assessment of the world in which we live. Dr. Hartt points out that the initial foothold for Christian theological work is a certain criticism of contemporary life. This will demonstrate what the Christian believes God is and what God demands of him and of all men, whether or not they are Christian or are even religious in any ordinary sense. He then goes on to delineate sketches of what he feels are the chief claims of the Christian faith, and what are key realms of culture.
Book Synopsis The Grimm Conclusion by : Adam Gidwitz
Download or read book The Grimm Conclusion written by Adam Gidwitz and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2014-09-02 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Newbery Honor-winning, New York Times bestselling author Adam Gidwitz Cover may vary Did you know that Cinderella’s stepsisters got their eyes pecked out by birds? Really. And that Rumpelstiltskin ripped himself in half? And that in “The Mouse, the Bird, and the Sausage,” a mouse, a bird, and a sausage all talk to each other? (Okay, I guess that one’s not that grim.) Those are the real fairy tales. But they have nothing on the fairy tales in this book. For more twisted tales look for A Tale Dark and Grimm and In a Glass Grimmly. * “Underneath the gore, the wit, and the trips to Hell and back, this book makes it clearer than ever that Gidwitz truly cares about the kids he writes for.” —Publishers Weekly starred review “Entertaining story-mongering, with traditional and original tropes artfully intertwined.”—Kirkus Reviews “As innovative as they are traditional, the stories maintain clear connections with traditional Grimm tales while creatively connecting to the narrative, and all the while keeping the proceedings undeniably grisly and lurid. . . .Readers will rejoice.”—School Library Journal

Book excerpt: This book examines how modern US writers used the changing geographies, regimens, and technologies of modern food to reimagine racial classification and to question its relationship to the mutable body.

Book excerpt: Matt Reddy and the crew of the USS Walker are positioned to push the line of battle to the breaking point on an alternate Earth, in the thrilling return to the New York Times bestselling Destroyermen series. Matt Reddy and his sailors have fought, bled, and died for their Lemurian friends and other allies from across time, but their enemies are still operational. In Africa, the Grik General Esshk has escaped defeat to build a new army and new weapons, and is desperate enough to use them to destroy the world if he can't have it. In South America, the NUS, General Shinya, and the Army of the Sisters have the evil Dominion on the ropes and are closing in on the seat of its blood-drenched power, but the twisted Don Hernan has struck a deal with the fascist League, and Victor Gravois is finally assembling the awesome fleet of modern ships he's always craved. If he's successful, the war will be lost. Undermined by treachery on a stunning scale, Matt Reddy must still steam his battered old ship halfway around the world, scraping up what forces he can along the way, and confront the mightiest armada the world has ever seen in a fiery duel to the death.
Book Synopsis From Exclusivity to Exclusion: The LD Experience of Privileged Parents by : Chris Hale
Download or read book From Exclusivity to Exclusion: The LD Experience of Privileged Parents written by Chris Hale and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-11-12 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is lived experience at the intersection of privilege and disability? More specifically, what are the experiences of privileged parents of a child with disability? How does their child’s disability impact their efforts to reproduce their advantage? These and other questions inspired the research on which this book is based. The plight of poor and marginalized parents of children with disabilities has received considerable scholarly attention yet the experiences of their counterparts at the opposite end of the socioeconomic spectrum have garnered scant notice. For parents at the bottom rung of society, their child’s disability becomes yet another compounding marker of oppression. For parents of means and influence, disability represents an ontological contradiction. While they are oppressors, in that they reap the benefits of inequitable and oppressive social structures, they are also oppressed by ableism and other systems of societal bias. The product of an ethnographic case study, this book trains a phenomenological lens on the lived experience of this contradiction. The participants in this research are privileged urban parents of a 14-year-old boy with dyslexia. Their account of the struggles they faced over the three years their son spent in a mainstream private school is the focus of analysis and discussion. Despite their efforts, including lavish expenditures of economic and cultural capital, the school community’s responses to the child’s disability and subsequent academic failure resulted in iterated enactments of symbolic and physical segregation and eventual banishment. Their son’s dyslexia threatened the collective investment in normality, his academic failure threatened the underlying assumptions of schooling, and his parents’ advocacy challenged the symbolic authority of school professionals.
Book Synopsis Homeless, Friendless, and Penniless by : Ronald L. Baker
Download or read book Homeless, Friendless, and Penniless written by Ronald L. Baker and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2000-10-22 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Homeless, Friendless, and Penniless The WPA Interviews with Former Slaves Living in Indiana Ronald L. Baker Lives of former slaves in their own words, published for the first time. Based on a collection of interviews conducted in the late 1930s, Homeless, Friendless, and Penniless is an invaluable record of the lives and thoughts of former slaves who moved to Indiana after the Civil War and made significant contributions to the evolving patchwork of Hoosier culture. The Indiana slave narratives provide a glimpse of slavery as remembered by those who experienced it, preserving insiders' views of a tragic chapter in American history. Though they were living in Indiana at the time of the interviews, these African Americans been enslaved in 11 different states from the Carolinas to Louisiana. The interviews deal with life and work on the plantation; the treatment of slaves; escaping from slavery; education, religion, and slave folklore; and recollections of the Civil War. Just as important, the interviews reveal how former slaves fared in Indiana after the Civil War and during the Depression. Some became ministers, a few became educators, and one became a physician; but many lived in poverty and survived on Christian faith and small government pensions. Ronald L. Baker, Chairperson and Professor of English at Indiana State University, is author of many books, including Hoosier Folk Legends and From Needmore to Prosperity: Hoosier Place Names in Folklore and History (both from Indiana University Press. He is co-author of Indiana Place Names with Marvin Carmony and editor of The Folklore Historian, the journal of the Folklore and History Section of the American Folklore Society.

Download or read book The Savage Shore written by Graham Seal and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2016-04-26 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For centuries before the arrival in Australia of Captain Cook and the so-called First Fleet in 1788, intrepid seafaring explorers had been searching, with varied results, for the fabled “Great Southland.” In this enthralling history of early discovery, Graham Seal offers breathtaking tales of shipwrecks, perilous landings, and Aboriginal encounters with the more than three hundred Europeans who washed up on these distant shores long before the land was claimed by Cook for England. The author relates dramatic, previously untold legends of survival gleaned from the centuries of Dutch, Spanish, Portuguese, French, and Indonesian voyages to Australia, and debunks commonly held misconceptions about the earliest European settlements: ships of the Dutch East Indies Company were already active in the region by the early seventeenth century, and the Dutch, rather than the English, were probably the first European settlers on the continent.

Book Synopsis The Modern Weird Tale by : S.T. Joshi
Download or read book The Modern Weird Tale written by S.T. Joshi and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2012-05-29 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a critical study of many of the leading writers of horror and supernatural fiction since World War II. The primary purpose is to establish a canon of weird literature, and to distinguish the genuinely meritorious writers of the past fifty years from those who have obtained merely transient popular renown. Accordingly, the author regards the complex, subtle work of Shirley Jackson, Ramsey Campbell, Robert Aickman, T.E.D. Klein, and Thomas Ligotti as considerably superior to the best-sellers of Stephen King, Clive Barker, Peter Straub, and Anne Rice. Other writers such as William Peter Blatty, Thomas Tryon, Robert Bloch, and Thomas Harris are also discussed. Taken as a whole, the volume represents a pioneering attempt to chart the development of weird fiction over the past half-century.
