Book excerpt: When children claim to have imaginary friends, it's normally harmless play, but in Shroud Of Beckoning: Part One of the Ice Water Mansion Series, they're actually demonic and angelic apparitions that are battling over the child's soul. Blending the supernatural world with the essence of daily life, Woody transports readers back to the spring of 1964 to begin her tale of good vs. evil. Within a dysfunctional family in California, four-year-old Carla lives with her older sister, parents, and a secret friend. Clad in black, this precocious apparition poses as a friendly playmate. However, Schatten is no ordinary companion he's pure evil and feeds off human souls. When Carla cries and seethes, his outward features rejuvenate. In turn, when she laughs and finds love, he ages into a hideous form that terrorizes her. Deceiving her into believing she's his only friend, he actually knows her sister, mother, and others, but unlike them, Carla is bait to help find a boy's soul, Tony, who his adversaries stole from him years before. Adding a new addition to the family, Carla's mother gives birth to a son who Carla instantly loves. Unfortunately, this pushes Schatten to plot the baby's demise, resulting in Officer Jarred Blanton arriving to investigate. Blanton, a well-loved man with a good family, is everything Schatten despises and must destroy to keep his plans on track, but in doing so, he alters his own plans and creates a chain of events that intertwines Blanton's life with Carla's. As Carla and Blanton embark on a horrific path to save their very souls, Woody chronicles their dark stories while everything and everyone they love is slowly destroyed because Schatten will never stop until their souls are his and Tony is found.

Book excerpt: Over the past several years Ferrel Glade Roundy has written 700 Shakespearean- style sonnets on a wide variety of subjects, some serious, some humorous, some in between. "The sonnet," he says, "is marvelous for encapsulating a thought in a memorable way," which is why he loves to work with this particular poetic form. But of course he doesn't restrict himself just to the sonnet form. He also has written many song lyrics, some of which have been set to music. Since English, unlike German, French, Spanish, and various other languages, is not an easy language to rhyme in, most modern English-speaking poets these days choose to write free verse, which has neither rhyme nor meter. A few poets are candid enough to admit that their opting for free verse is a copout of sorts because with free verse they don't have to concern themselves with the conventional requirements of poetry. Some poets say that rhyming is often stilted and unnatural, but whether or not a rhymed poem ends up stilted and unnatural depends mainly on the poet's level of education, native talent, and imagination. Shakespeare, Milton, Wordsworth, Pope, and numerous others were masters of their craft; and all of them rhymed their poems. Consider for a moment how much of the "music" would be lost in "A Midsummer Night's Dream" if the poetry didn't rhyme. This is not to say that free verse is not effective, for one need think only of the King James Version of the Bible, much of which is beautifully poetic and in free verse. One would have to get up very early in the morning to top the wonderful poetry of the Twenty-third Psalm, so long as it is the KJV. Later translations lose much of the poetic effect, which is tantamount to removing the fizz from the rootbeer! But one of the biggest criticisms of modern free verse is that many readers find it difficult to remember after reading it. Many in fact read it and don't know what they've read after reading it. This, basically, is why Roundy says he has opted in this current volume of poems to use mainly the sonnet form, for he finds it to be a charming way to express himself. "A thousand years from now," he says, "people will still be reading Shakespeare's sonnets, but it is doubtful that much of the current free verse will be read then even by experts."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tabby Long is a non-Christian girl in a Catholic school whose world gets turned upside down when her dad, who has never been a man of faith, experiences a miraculous healing on Good Friday. Her father’s dramatic religious conversion alienates her mother, who deserts the family. In her struggle to understand what has happened to her family, Tabby follows the suggestion of her school’s religion teacher, and she begins spending time reading Scripture while in Eucharistic Adoration. Following the practice taught by Saint Ignatius of Loyola, she inserts herself into the biblical stories she reads. Through this process, she “time travels” to first-century Jerusalem, where she is Tabitha Longinus, the daughter of the centurion Gaius Cassius Longinus, who pierces the side of the crucified Jesus, incurs a spontaneous healing, and undergoes immediate conversion. Tabitha is a Gentile girl with Jewish friends and a mother who can’t accept her husband’s newfound (and dangerous) faith. When her mother flees to Rome and her father retires from the army and leaves Jerusalem, Tabitha finds herself alone in the holy city, her life in jeopardy for having entered a part of the Temple that is off-limits to Gentiles. She is drawn into belief in Jesus through her friends who are close to the Apostles, even as she struggles to devise a way to save and reunite her family — a duty that consumes her in her modern-day life as well. Tabitha’s experiences are rooted in the stories found in the first ten chapters of the Acts of the Apostles. On the last of several days of her Scripture meditations, Tabby emerges from Adoration with a newfound faith and clarity about how her family can be reunited and healed, all with the help of the Lord.

Otto Malpense and his friends thought their first year at the Higher Institute of Villainous Education was the most adventurous and exciting that they would ever encounter. They were dead wrong. When Otto and Wing are allowed off campus to attend Wing's father's funeral, they have no idea it's a trap, all part of a lethal plan organized by Cypher, the most ruthless supervillain any of them have ever known.

But when things go terribly wrong, Otto will stop at nothing to hunt him down and make him pay.

Book excerpt: War is over. Darkness has been driven to annihilation. The world balances on the edge of an uneasy peace but fear still lurks the streets of Gotheim. Whispers of foul creatures plague the hinterlands, and in the secret heart of many, an unshakeable suspicion gnaws - an ancient evil readies to unfurl its wings and cast its shadow upon the realm. Marcus Blackwood, the venerable inquisitor of the Citadel, travels to the small village of Westgrave to investigate the curious case of the cursed Mary Shaw. Accusations of forbidden magic and dark rumours of a lady in the woods are abound. Accompanied by his apprentice, Blackwood will uncover a threat that reaches far beyond the village of Westgrave. He’ll face a long-forgotten enemy that not even he may be able to stop. The fate of Mary Shaw lies in jeopardy and Blackwood’s duty to the Citadel may force him to sacrifice more than he is willing to part with.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Undiscovered Chekhov gives us, in rich abundance, a new Chekhov. Peter Constantine's historic collection presents 38 new stories and with them a fresh interpretation of the Russian master. In contrast to the brooding representative of a dying century we have seen over and over, here is Chekhov's work from the 1880s, when Chekhov was in his twenties and his writing was sharp, witty and innovative. Many of the stories in The Undiscovered Chekhov reveal Chekhov as a keen modernist. Emphasizing impressions and the juxtaposition of incongruent elements, instead of the straight narrative his readers were used to, these stories upturned many of the assumptions of storytelling of the period. Here is "Sarah Bernhardt Comes to Town," written as a series of telegrams, beginning with "Have been drinking to Sarah's health all week! Enchanting! She actually dies standing up!..." In "Confession...," a thirty-nine year old bachelor recounts some of the fifteen times chance foiled his marriage plans. In "How I Came to be Lawfully Wed," a couple reminisces about the day they vowed to resist their parents' plans that they should marry. And in the more familiarly Chekhovian "Autumn," an alcoholic landowner fallen low and a peasant from his village meet far from home in a sad and haunting reunion in which the action of the story is far less important than the powerful impression it leaves with the reader that each man must live his life and has his reasons.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With four elegant and beautifully crafted novels Julien Gracq has established himself as one of France's premier postwar novelists. A mysterious and retiring figure, Gracq characteristically refused the Goncourt, France's most distinguished literary prize, when it was awarded to him in 1951 for this book. As the latest work in the Twentieth-Century Continental Fiction Series, Gracq'a masterpiece is now available for the first time in English. Set in a fictitious Mediterranean port city, The Opposing Shore is the first-person account of a young aristocrat sent to observe the activities of a naval base. The fort lies at the country's border; at its feet is the bay of Syrtes. Across the bay is territory of the enemy who has, for three hundred years, been at war with the narrator's countrymen; the battle has become a complex, tacit game in which no actions are taken and no peace declared. As the narrator comes to understand, everything depends upon a boundary, unseen but certain, separating the two sides. Besides the narrator there are two other main characters, the dark and laconic captain of the base and a woman whose compex relations to both sides of the war brings the narator deeper into the story's web. For many French readers The Opposing Shore (published as Le rivage des Syrtes ), with its theme of transgressions and boundaries, spoke to the issue of defeat and the desire to fail: a paticularly sensitive motif in postwar French literature. But there is nothing about the novel tying it either to France or to the 1950s; in fact, Gracq's novel, with its elaborate, richly detailed prose, will be of greater interest now than at any point in the last twenty years.
