Book Synopsis Off Boulder Highway by : Jennifer Battisti
Download or read book Off Boulder Highway written by Jennifer Battisti and published by Tolsun Books. This book was released on 2021-07-13 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Literary Nonfiction. Poetry. Fiction. Within the pages of OFF BOULDER HIGHWAY--a hybrid work of poetry; memoir; and surrealistic prose--we encounter Vegas landmarks that act as characters; Reagan era disasters; the loss of a father.

Cool J and Hulk Hogan; trauma; addiction; disaster; and ritualistic paths to redemption.
Download or read book Mean written by Colette LaBouff Atkinson and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2010-02-15 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the appropriately titled Mean, Colette LaBouff Atkinson’s speakers confront a series of cruel lovers, estranged ex-husbands and ex-ex-wives, neglectful parents, disrespectful children, menacing drunks, would-be rapists, well-meaning but ineffectual teachers, and that annoying kid in first grade who wouldn’t leave you alone. Managing to “say” what most of us would only think but never dare speak out loud, this stunning debut collection reveals that the horrors and cruelty we experience in everyday life can turn out to be very real indeed. But Atkinson does not merely rake her subjects across the coals: she deftly exposes, instead, how the world mirrors back to us our own meanness, lending it a truth and a history. In forty-three deadpan, often merciless prose poems that are masterpieces of the form, Mean lays bare the darkness within the narrator’s heart as well as in ours. "Colette Labouff Atkinson’s artful laconicism attains the force of a shout, without ever raising its voice. The intelligent, merciless narrative cool arrays a sad comedy, with an unemphatic but penetrating 'and then . . . and then': accounts of love pursued far more often than it is glimpsed or realized."—Robert Pinsky

Download or read book Inferno written by Ellen Datlow and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2023-11-14 with total page 473 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This multiple award-winning anthology of twenty psychological and supernatural horror stories explores the outer limits of fear. To create this volume, renowned horror editor Ellen Datlow wrote to her favorite authors asking for stories that would “provide the reader with a frisson of shock, or a moment of dread so powerful it might cause the reader outright physical discomfort; or a sensation of fear so palpable that the reader feels impelled to turn up the lights very bright and play music or seek the company of others to dispel the fear.” Mission accomplished. The resulting collection draws together some of the most powerful voices in the field: Pat Cadigan, Terry Dowling, Jeffrey Ford, Christopher Fowler, Glen Hirshberg, K. W. Jeter, Joyce Carol Oates, and Lucius Shepard, to name a few. Each author approaches fear in a different way, but all of the stories’ characters toil within their own hell. Winner of the 2008 World Fantasy Award, International Horror Guild Award, and Shirley Jackson Award for Best Anthology.
