Book Synopsis The Familiar, Volume 1 by : Mark Z. Danielewski
Download or read book The Familiar, Volume 1 written by Mark Z. Danielewski and published by Knopf. This book was released on 2015-05-12 with total page 890 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the author of the international best seller House of Leaves and National Book Award–nominated Only Revolutions comes a monumental new novel as dazzling as it is riveting. The Familiar (Volume 1) ranges from Mexico to Southeast Asia, from Venice, Italy, to Venice, California, with nine lives hanging in the balance, each called upon to make a terrifying choice. They include a therapist-in-training grappling with daughters as demanding as her patients; an ambitious East L.A. gang member contracted for violence; two scientists in Marfa, Texas, on the run from an organization powerful beyond imagining; plus a recovering addict in Singapore summoned at midnight by a desperate billionaire; and a programmer near Silicon Beach whose game engine might unleash consequences far exceeding the entertainment he intends. At the very heart, though, is a twelve-year-old girl named Xanther who one rainy day in May sets out with her father to get a dog, only to end up trying to save a creature as fragile as it is dangerous . . . which will change not only her life and the lives of those she has yet to encounter, but this world, too—or at least the world we think we know and the future we take for granted. (With full-color illustrations throughout.) Like the print edition, this eBook contains a complex image-based layout. It is most readable on e-reading devices with larger screen sizes.
Book Synopsis Architecture of the Indimensionable by : Nicolas Miller
Download or read book Architecture of the Indimensionable written by Nicolas Miller and published by . This book was released on 2019-08-26 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In focusing their attentions on the measurable aspects of the built environment - studs sixteen inches on center, each room's square footages precisely calculated, window details specified to the millimeter - architects lose sight of those spatial features that exceed the disciplinary hand of the ruler. There is no precise measure of the anxiety that spikes with our first step down into a dark basement, no notation that captures the supreme unease evoked by entering a house with a ghastly past, no volume to the discomfort we feel when alone in large spaces. Architecture, in other words, has its frightful qualities, and these terrors do not submit to standard units of measure. Architecture of the Indimensionable explores these boundless horrors by consulting those dark souls who have not been afraid to survey the Hellmouths and musty attics of the world. It gathers together a collection of essays, interviews, and drawings sourced from these experts in the indimensionable: haunted house designers, ghost hunters, horror writers and those rare architectural practitioners who venture to cast their eyes towards terrors they cannot meter.

Book Synopsis Haunting Experiences by : Diane Goldstein
Download or read book Haunting Experiences written by Diane Goldstein and published by University Press of Colorado. This book was released on 2007-09-15 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ghosts and other supernatural phenomena are widely represented throughout modern culture. They can be found in any number of entertainment, commercial, and other contexts, but popular media or commodified representations of ghosts can be quite different from the beliefs people hold about them, based on tradition or direct experience. Personal belief and cultural tradition on the one hand, and popular and commercial representation on the other, nevertheless continually feed each other. They frequently share space in how people think about the supernatural. In Haunting Experiences, three well-known folklorists seek to broaden the discussion of ghost lore by examining it from a variety of angles in various modern contexts. Diane E. Goldstein, Sylvia Ann Grider, and Jeannie Banks Thomas take ghosts seriously, as they draw on contemporary scholarship that emphasizes both the basis of belief in experience (rather than mere fantasy) and the usefulness of ghost stories. They look closely at the narrative role of such lore in matters such as socialization and gender. And they unravel the complex mix of mass media, commodification, and popular culture that today puts old spirits into new contexts.
