Download or read book The Puppet King and Other Atonements written by Justin A. Burnett and published by Trepidatio Publishing. This book was released on 2022-05-20 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Bleak, melancholy, and intelligent like the best by Thomas Ligotti and Jon Padgett, these tales unmistakably come from a deep, personal place and will best resonate with searchers after metaphysical horrors.” —Dejan Ognjanović, RUE MORGUE The Puppet King and Other Atonements conjures a horrific universe of puppets, labyrinths, and liminal spaces. Over the span of fourteen Borgesian terrors, Justin A. Burnett inhabits the strange borderlands between intimacy and isolation, fiction and philosophy, reality and nightmare. Sprouting from the blackened landscape of weird writers such as Thomas Ligotti, Jon Padgett, and Brian Evenson, this collection is a bleak, unflinching gaze into the vertiginous depths of the nonhuman. “A collection brimming with sublime torments. Burnett masterfully grasps the transcendent grotesque, weaving tales charged with cosmic danger. A refreshing and powerful new voice in contemporary dread.” —Rebecca Gransden, author of SEA OF GLASS “Burnett takes you through a journey of contrasts. At once delicate and painfully intimate, yet vast, reverberant and strange, The Puppet King and Other Atonements draws the reader deep into the primordial to the very edge of the stars. Highly recommended.” —Emma J. Gibbon, author of DARK BLOOD COMES FROM THE FEET

Book excerpt: "I had been born Henry VIII's most precious jewel, the country's future, and the Tudor dynasty's salvation. My birth had marked my father's most joyous success after decades of failures. But now, there was only dying left for me to do. As to what would have happened had I endured, it no longer mattered. And as to whether I would have done my duty...well, I guess we will never know. Because I never got to live." As son to Henry VIII by his third wife, Jane Seymour, young Edward is rushed into adulthood and kingship when his father suddenly dies. At the age of just nine-years-old however, king Edward VI cannot rule on his own, and many who had sworn fealty to him begin to work in secret to attain their own political goals. But, unbeknownst to the rest of the world, Edward has his own secret - one he must never allow to come to light.

Book Synopsis The Daughter of the Puppet King by : Veronica Brown
Download or read book The Daughter of the Puppet King written by Veronica Brown and published by Tate Publishing & Enterprises. This book was released on 2015-11-03 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This vivid novel views Gettysburg and the climax of Pickett's Charge through the eyes of the men in the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia and most of all through the eyes of their commander, Robert E. Lee. It is dramatic, at times cinematic, and compelling. It also is quiet, reflective, and moving. The author's intensely personal musings on his own history and on the grand and awful sweep and meaning of American history remind us that neither history nor historical fiction are anything like simple stories about what happened long ago but rather, continuous dialogues with the people who inhabited that past. I admire Rich Fritzky's creativity and his desire to share this story with everyone interested in examining some of the deeper truths of the Civil War. -J. Tracy Power Author of Lee's Miserables: Life in the Army of Northern Virginia from the Wilderness to Appomattox Richard Fritzky, writing with a love and passion for-and knowledge of-his subject, has crafted in this novel about Lee at Gettysburg a hybrid mix of events anchored on solid fact, words actually spoken and made up, and acts, thoughts, and emotions inferred. This mix is salted by occasional detours between chapters for personal reflections on words of meaning to Lee-family and heritage, faith, freedom and liberty, sacrifice, duty, and home. All in all, this work of fact, fiction, and reflection combine for a compelling account of Lee on the third day at Gettysburg. -John C. Waugh Author of The Class of 1846: From West Point to Appomattox-Stonewall Jackson, George McClellan and Their Brothers Fritzky is an exceptional human being who has a sensibility that feels the emotions of the past and searches for their historical meaning in the present. -Kent Gramm Author of November, Lincoln's Elegy at Gettysburg This is a well-written, readable, and important work that hopefully reaches a much broader readership than an academic tome. Mr. Fritzky has performed a very important function in writing this book, by contributing toward the maintenance of an historical memory for concerned Americans. If men like Robert E. Lee were to vanish from the historical stage, so too would the principles of honor, duty, and self-sacrifice cease to inform public debate. -Marshall DeRosa Author of The Enduring Influence of Robert E. Lee - the Ideological Warfare Underpinning the American Civil War

Book excerpt: Life is a game of chess, and Russians like to play―but they're not the only ones. The world witnesses the collapse of the Berlin Wall in 1989. The border's opening brings happiness and hope, but not all East Germans are smiling. As Western ideology takes root, the entire Soviet Empire falls into collapse, and Moscow sits silent as Erich Strauss loses his job as General Secretary of East Germany's Socialist United Party. Betrayed by his leadership and his people, and as loyal Communists flee Berlin for the safety of the Soviet Union, Strauss returns home to Jena, Germany. Strauss remains secluded in the restored family castle, but the isolation becomes too much for the ousted leader. For three decades he plans his comeback, with the help of his son and other well-positioned loyalists, many with motives of their own. He wants to be king. Then a mysterious man in the East takes notice of Strauss' personal ambitions. Strauss cannot refuse the offer of assistance, but it will be costly. With plans now in motion, their organization attracts the wrong attention. Gwen Patterson, New York's best and brightest investigative reporter, is sent to Germany to uncover that country's sudden financial decline. As sources step forward and details emerge, the more she learns the less she wants to know. As she does her job, her ad hoc film team helps her identify the German and American conspirators and track the stolen money. Those connections lead back to New York City and Washington, DC. Gwen's mother gets pulled into the narrative, confessing her dark past in Cold War Europe. Now this reporter is left to face possible personal ties with the would-be king. With the future of the world economy at stake, she must choose between family and country. However, with all she is offered, even Gwen questions where her loyalties lie.
Download or read book Puppet written by Kenneth Gross and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2011-09-01 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The puppet creates delight and fear. It may evoke the innocent play of childhood, or become a tool of ritual magic, able to negotiate with ghosts and gods. Puppets can be creepy things, secretive, inanimate while also full of spirit, alive with gesture and voice. In this eloquent book, Kenneth Gross contemplates the fascination of these unsettling objects—objects that are also actors and images of life. The poetry of the puppet is central here, whether in its blunt grotesquery or symbolic simplicity, and always in its talent for metamorphosis. On a meditative journey to seek the idiosyncratic shapes of puppets on stage, Gross looks at the anarchic Punch and Judy show, the sacred shadow theater of Bali, and experimental theaters in Europe and the United States, where puppets enact everything from Baroque opera and Shakespearean tragedy to Beckettian farce. Throughout, he interweaves accounts of the myriad faces of the puppet in literature—Collodi’s cruel, wooden Pinocchio, puppetlike characters in Kafka and Dickens, Rilke’s puppet-angels, the dark puppeteering of Philip Roth’s Micky Sabbath—as well as in the work of artists Joseph Cornell and Paul Klee. The puppet emerges here as a hungry creature, seducer and destroyer, demon and clown. It is a test of our experience of things, of the human and inhuman. A book about reseeing what we know, or what we think we know, Puppet evokes the startling power of puppets as mirrors of the uncanny in life and art.

Book excerpt: Not quite dead as some had hoped, King Diad sits once again on the throne. Discovering his wife married to another, he quite happily divorces her and exiles her from the capital. The once powerful Queen is now relegated to the role as the wife of a mere prelate. However, King Diad is not the same as he once was and soon he is king in name only, for the new Lord Chamberlain has deftly assumed the power behind the throne. Yet the kingdom is in turmoil, for Lord Dade's rebellion is pushing the kingdom to civil war. Quickly assembling an army, the Lord Chamberlain sends his forces south with the intent of crushing the insurgency, while permanently removing Dade as a threat. Though willing to help restore order to the kingdom, Duncan vividly remembers the last time Diad was King and hurriedly builds an elite army of Templars, loyal only to him. With his power base expanding, and with Guina no longer Queen, will Duncan be content as Lord and High Priest? While the kingdom is plunged into turmoil, Alexis has found sanctuary with the mountain folk who call themselves Cinoc Mar. She immediately begins training their warriors in the deadly martial arts only to learn too late their ambition is to rule all of Gambria, and the fact that she is expected to fight against those whom she once called friends. Will she be able to fight Brenna when she confronts her on the battlefield? And oh by the way, the army of Rugia is gathering to attack
Download or read book The Boy King written by Janet Wertman and published by Janet Wertman. This book was released on 2020-09-30 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of Open Letters Review's Ten Best Historical Novels of 2020; First Place Winner, 2021 Chaucer Award for pre-1750s historical fiction "Highly recommend both as a standalone and series read. Wertman's work is among the best Tudor fiction on the market" - Historical Fiction Reader His mother, Jane Seymour, died at his birth; now his father, King Henry VIII, has died as well. Nine-year-old Edward Tudor ascends to the throne of England and quickly learns that he cannot trust anyone, even himself. Struggling to understand the political and religious turmoil that threatens the realm, Edward is at first relieved that his uncle, the new Duke of Somerset, will act on his behalf as Lord Protector, but this consolation evaporates as jealousy spreads through the court. Challengers arise on all sides to wrest control of the child king, and through him, England. While Edward can bring frustratingly little direction to the Council's policies, he refuses to abandon his one firm conviction: that Catholicism has no place in England. When Edward falls ill, this steadfast belief threatens England's best hope for a smooth succession: the transfer of the throne to Edward's very Catholic half-sister, Mary Tudor, whose heart's desire is to return the realm to the way it worshipped in her mother's day.
