Book Synopsis Legend-Tripping Online by : Michael Kinsella
Download or read book Legend-Tripping Online written by Michael Kinsella and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2011-05-17 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the Internet, seekers investigate anonymous manifestos that focus on the findings of brilliant scientists said to have discovered pathways into alternate realities. Gathering on web forums, researchers not only share their observations, but also report having anomalous experiences, which they believe come from their online involvement with these veiled documents. Seeming logic combines with wild twists of lost Moorish science and pseudo-string theory. Enthusiasts insist any obstacle to revelation is a sure sign of great and wide-reaching efforts by consensus powers wishing to suppress all the liberating truths in the Incunabula Papers (included here in complete form). In Legend-Tripping Online, Michael Kinsella explores these and other extraordinary pursuits. This is the first book dedicated to legend-tripping, ritual quests in which people strive to explore and find manifest the very events described by supernatural legends. Through collective performances, legend-trippers harness the interpretive frameworks these stories provide and often claim incredible, out-of-this-world experiences that in turn perpetuate supernatural legends. Legends and legend-tripping are assuming tremendous prominence in a world confronting new speeds of diversification, connection, and increasing cognitive load. As guardians of tradition as well as agents of change, legends and the ordeals they inspire contextualize ancient and emergent ideas, behaviors, and technologies that challenge familiar realities. This book analyzes supernatural legends and the ways in which the sharing spirit of the Internet collectivizes, codifies, and makes folklore of fantastic speculation.

As Stephen King will attest, the popularity of the occult in American literature has only grown since the days of Edgar Allan Poe. The book celebrates the richness of this tradition with chilling contributions from some of the nation's brightest literary lights, including Poe himself, H. P. Lovecraft, Shirley Jackson, Ray Bradbury, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and—of course—Stephen King. This volumes also includes "The Yellow Sign," the most horrific story from The King in Yellow, the classic horror collection by Robert W. Chambers featured on HBO's hit TV series True Detective. By turns phantasmagoric, spectral, and demonic, this is a frighteningly good collection of stories. Filmmaker and longtime horror literature fan Guillermo del Toro serves as the curator for the Penguin Horror series, a new collection of classic tales and poems by masters of the genre. Included here are some of del Toro’s favorites, from Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and Ray Russell’s short story “Sardonicus,” considered by Stephen King to be “perhaps the finest example of the modern Gothic ever written,” to Shirley Jackson’s The Haunting of Hill House and stories by Ray Bradbury, Joyce Carol Oates, Ted Klein, and Robert E. Howard. Featuring original cover art by Penguin Art Director Paul Buckley, these stunningly creepy deluxe hardcovers will be perfect additions to the shelves of horror, sci-fi, fantasy, and paranormal aficionados everywhere.

Excerpts from 'Night of the Living Pocong': "Okay, so these are generally referred to as Pocong," began Rayyan, very matter of fact, "There have been quite a surprising number of sightings of these creatures and effectively, they are zombies.""What, zombies? Like the undead?""Yeah, they were once just normal people like me and you. Sometimes they died naturally, sometimes prematurely and they are wrapped up in a kain kafan, a white shroud secured around the head and feet, which is part of the traditional burials that go on around these parts," explained Rayyan."Right, so they come back to life?""Not exactly Adam. It's said that after death the soul will stay on earth for around 45 days before it passes on to the next life, but they can only go if they are at peace with their previous life. If they don't make peace by then or know they won't be successful in doing so in time to pass, they tend to jump out of their graves."Excerpts from 'A Family of Three - The Fiendish Union with an Incubus': The Incubus entered her. The breath in her lungs exited. Her eyes rolled to the back of her head. She felt his member stretching her in every direction. Her flesh was tearing around him. She felt him in her intestines, rupturing vessels and bruising her innards. The blood ran down her body and onto the white sheets. Every thrust left a pang of ache. Her body twitched like a bug that had been squashed and left to suffer.If you enjoy reading creepy ghost stories and spine-chilling horror fiction with a supernatural twist, you'll love this anthology!
