Book excerpt: The house is free... Single mom, Molly Greene, is forced to close her Michelin star restaurant due to the Covid 19 pandemic. To escape the ghosts of her past and the high cost of city living, Molly moves the Greene family to the isolated town of Old Castle where they move into a 200-year-old stately farmhouse...which isn't quite vacant. The Greene family realise they've become unwitting participants in a macabre contest where the farmhouse is first prize...or is it? Little do they know they're sharing their house with a sinister squatter that lingers in the fireplace, and likes to come out and play when the sun goes down. In danger of financial ruin, Molly goes public about the ominous presence in the house, never considering the repercussions of her actions. ...but it comes with a price.

Book excerpt: 'The Squatter's Ward' is an adventure novel written by Edward S. Sorenson. The story unfolds on a hot day in mid-December, so hot that the perspiration ran in little streams down the face of Richard Merton—familiarly known among his station hands as "Old Dick"—as he sat in a canvas-back chair in the coolest corner of the verandah. He was a middle-aged man of medium height; but his corpulent form made his legs appear exceedingly short. His thin, short-clipped beard was well sprinkled with gray, though he was yet a good many shakes of the leg under forty. His eyes were deep set, bright, piercing eyes, overshadowed by bushy brows that lent a sinister expression to his face.
Book Synopsis Prairie Bride; or, the Squatter's Triumph by : Chris Enss
Download or read book Prairie Bride; or, the Squatter's Triumph written by Chris Enss and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2006-07-01 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fight breaks out over a claim in this action-filled homesteading story. The hardships of covered wagon life, the danger of the prairie fire, and the romance of the young bride's new home made this a best-seller in 1869. One of the things that made dime novels so popular was the lurid cover art. These scandalous imaged caught the attention of readers and, indeed, the ellicit nature of the stories was most appealing. Publishers capitalized on the interests of young female readers, especially, bringing tales of strong, willful heroines to life between the cheap paper covers of these books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jack Redgrave was a jolly, well-to-do young squatter, who, in the year 185—, had a very fair cattle station in one of the Australian colonies, upon which he lived in much comfort and reasonable possession of the minor luxuries of life. He had, in bush parlance, "taken it up" himself, when hardly more than a lad, had faced bad seasons, blacks, bush-fires, bushrangers, and bankers (these last he always said terrified him far more than the others), and had finally settled down into a somewhat too easy possession of a couple of thousand good cattle, a well-bred, rather fortunate stud, and a roomy, cool cottage with a broad verandah all covered with creepers...

Download or read book The Squatter's Dream written by Rolf Boldrewood and published by Graphic Arts Books. This book was released on 2021-11-16 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Squatter’s Dream (1875) is a novel by Rolf Boldrewood, the pseudonym of Australian novelist Thomas Browne. A squatter himself for nearly twenty-five years, he came to know the ways of life on the outskirts of civilization, which allowed him to lead a peaceful, uncomplicated, and inexpensive existence. Originally serialized in Australian weekly magazines, Browne’s work as Rolf Bolfrewood is an incomparable record of colonial Australia, where outlaws and speculators lived side by side on land stolen from the continent’s Aboriginal peoples. “The climate in which his abode was situated was temperate, from latitude and proximity to the coast. It was cold in the winter, but many a ton of she-oak and box had burned away in the great stone chimney, before which Jack used to toast himself in the cold nights, after a long day’s riding after cattle.” Jack Redgrave leads the kind of existence most men would dream of: a comfortable home, plenty of food, a beautiful property, and enough books to keep him curious about the world beyond the wilderness. Despite this, he begins to grow dissatisfied, dreaming of ways to increase his wealth and forgetting the reasons that first drew him to the squatting lifestyle. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Rolf Boldrewood’s The Squatter’s Dream is a classic work of Australian literature reimagined for modern readers.

Download or read book Ours to Lose written by Amy Starecheski and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2016-11-07 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The fascinating and little-known tale of the Lower East Side squatters of the Eighties . . . a radical, European-inspired housing movement” (The Village Voice). Though New York’s Lower East Side today is home to high-end condos and hip restaurants, it was for decades an infamous site of blight, open-air drug dealing, and class conflict—an emblematic example of the tattered state of 1970s and ’80s Manhattan. Those decades of strife, however, also gave the Lower East Side something unusual: a radical movement that blended urban homesteading and European-style squatting in a way never before seen in the United States. Ours to Lose tells the oral history of that movement through a close look at a diverse group of Lower East Side squatters who occupied abandoned city-owned buildings in the 1980s, fought to keep them for decades, and eventually began a long, complicated process to turn their illegal occupancy into legal cooperative ownership. Amy Starecheski here not only tells a little-known New York story, she also shows how property shapes our sense of ourselves as social beings and explores the ethics of homeownership and debt in post-recession America. “There are many books about the Lower East Side and its recent transformation, yet none has included engagement or oral history with primary organizers in the way Starecheski has. Ours to Lose is a unique and substantive contribution to our understanding of a most distinct practice in the shaping of urban space.” —Metropolitiques “What is significant is that the author demonstrates how some New Yorkers addressed the housing crisis in an unconventional manner. Recommended.” —Choice

Download or read book Kill City written by Ash Thayer and published by powerHouse Books. This book was released on 2015-03-31 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After being kicked out of her apartment in Brooklyn in 1992, and unable to afford rent anywhere near her school, young art student Ash Thayer found herself with few options. Luckily she was welcomed as a guest into See Skwat. New York City in the '90s saw the streets of the Lower East Side overun with derelict buildings, junkies huddled in dark corners, and dealers packing guns. People in desperate need of housing, worn down from waiting for years in line on the low-income housing lists, had been moving in and fixing up city-abandoned buildings since the mid-80s in the LES. Squatters took over entire buildings, but these structures were barely habitable. They were overrun with vermin, lacking plumbing, electricity, and even walls, floors, and a roof. Punks and outcasts joined the squatter movement and tackled an epic rebuilding project to create homes for themselves. The squatters were forced to be secretive and exclusive as a result of their poor legal standing in the buildings. Few outsiders were welcome and fewer photographers or journalists. Thayer's camera accompanied her everywhere as she lived at the squats and worked alongside other residents. Ash observed them training each other in these necessary crafts and finding much of their materials in the overflowing bounty that is New York City's refuse and trash. The trust earned from her subjects was unique and her access intimate. Kill City is a true untold story of New York's legendary LES squatters.

Book excerpt: In almost every country of the developing world, the most active builders are squatters, creating complex local economies with high rises, shopping strips, banks, and self-government. As they invent new social structures, Neuwirth argues, squatters are at the forefront of the worldwide movement to develop new visions of what constitutes property and community.
