Download or read book This Crowded Earth written by Robert Bloch and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-09-23 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are others who are talking about this title as well but not have really gave it the treatment it deserves. Robert Bloch at the age of 41 wrote a novel that was featured just before writing Psycho. Project Gutenberg had the presentation with the artwork as the status unclaimed copyright. Now with the technology that exists in the era of the novel Nickolaus Pacione decided to give this the treatment that Amazing Stories were not able to give as this is a novel that's written entirely by itself so instead of an omnibus with other stories as this is presented with. This is done with the original artwork. The time frame of the book spans about 68 years. Robert Bloch's chilling vision of the earth being told in a way only someone who has grown up in Chicago can. Pacione having written in the time frame set in 2006, 2009, 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2029 with quite a few of his stories figured this was the Robert Bloch title he could introduce and do this right. So with this release as Pacione was going, "Really this novel begins on my beer birthday year? Wow why the fuck haven't I looked into this before? The cover looks like an album from one of the bands my best friend listened to, called Failure. The album coming to mind Fantastic Planet." the novel as one might see Richard Matheson's I Am Legend set in the 1970s but written in the 1950s when he was still 27-28 years old. Robert Bloch was the teen protégée of H. P. Lovecraft as Lovecraft written some of his masterpieces at age 41. Pacione had a few protégées himself. This novel was a forgotten classic of Bloch's. Pacione very carefully handled the updated typesetting of the title and trying to give this a feel to one of his own anthology releases he's working on and trying to finish up. Using every bit of the original artwork from the publication as possible to really give this the vibe Finley originally intended for Robert Bloch's novel and wikisource he was able to give this the treatment he wanted to give it. With print on demand technology now in it's near decade plus; Nickolaus Pacione was able to get published because of this and now one gets to see This Crowded Earth entirely by itself. The book itself would lend well from this technology as Tabloid Purposes: Book Five predicted how this technology revived the print medium. Each chapter title is a characters name and a year and each of them tell their story as one of them mentions Wheaton, Illinois, and another like Pacione was a writer who is published. They talk paper publication in the future but it's a question of an operation like either CreateSpace.com or Lulu.com would been around in that time it's a guess. So this world -- in the 1950s; this would been a tale of a dark retro-future but the question would been how would Pacione's Cyber:Terror:Machine fare in this world. Mary Sangiovanni accuses him of being derivative but having an author who grew up near where his late grandmother did. It felt this novel would be that release only Pacione can do the introduction and give this justice. Chapter Eight of the novel really intrigued Pacione because Robocop and Terminator were also set in those years too as Metropolis would been in that timeline too. Pacione thinking, "Why take part in Shadows Over Main Street when I held my own with H. P. Lovecraft and the new anthology will see some surprises of my own. Well screw it I am going to introduce this." H. P. Lovecraft -- who was a chief literary influence on Pacione. Rod Serling and Bloch were second in command on that department as he was a hometown hero. Robert Bloch better known for authoring Psycho and edited Robert Bloch's Psychos before his passing. 21 years after his death we have a special presentation of the first masterpiece.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Armchair Fiction presents extra large editions of classic science fiction double novels. “This Crowded Earth” is the first novel, penned by the author of “Psycho,” Robert Bloch. It deals with a future Earth where there are just too damned many people—and all of the problems that go along with it. Bloch spins a fine tale as he takes a prophetic look at a very possible world of the future. The second novel is by sci-fi veteran, Daniel F. Galouye. “Reign of the Telepuppets” is a wonderful tale about a robot colony run wild. To the naked eye they appeared to be nothing but a small group of robotic misfits. But the ruling robot, a surly pile of circuits and mechanisms named Bigboss, was sure that their tiny colony was the center of the universe. In fact, Bigboss was sure there was no other living creature that was superior to him in any way. Yet a constant nagging deep in his robotic memory drums hinted of something different. It was a fleeting memory of the far-off world from which he came. A world where creatures lived that might actually challenge his rule. Little did he know that a spaceship filled with those creatures was hurtling towards him through the void. Living creatures of flesh and blood…

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The longtime chronicler of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula . . . gives eloquent expression to death and the grieving process.” —Booklist Hailed by The New York Times Book Review as “a master . . . who makes the ordinary extraordinary, the unnamable unforgettable,” beloved author Jim Harrison returns with a masterpiece—a tender, profound, and magnificent novel about life, death, and finding redemption in unlikely places. Donald is a middle-aged Chippewa-Finnish man slowly dying of Lou Gehrig’s Disease. His condition deteriorating, he realizes no one will be able to pass on to his children their family history once he is gone. He begins dictating to his wife, Cynthia, stories he has never shared with anyone as around him, his family struggles to lay him to rest with the same dignity with which he has lived. Over the course of the year following Donald’s death, his daughter begins studying Chippewa ideas of death for clues about her father’s religion, while Cynthia, bereft of the family she created to escape the malevolent influence of her own father, finds that redeeming the past is not a lost cause. Returning to Earth is a deeply moving book about origins and endings, making sense of loss, and living with honor for the dead. It is among the finest novels of Harrison’s long, storied career, and confirms his standing as one of the most important American writers. “A deeply felt meditation on life and death, nature and God, this is one of Harrison’s finest works.” —Library Journal

Book excerpt: A Success Best Book of 2015 Business psychologist Tony Crabbe outlines a unique three-step approach to combating one of the modern life's great problems: being too busy. BUSY is divided into four digestible sections-Mastery, Differentiation, and Engagement-that will teach readers how to switch from managing time to managing attention, how to transition toward a career strategy that doesn't hinge on productivity, how to think differently about success by re-engaging with what matters, and how to create the impetus, energy, and clarity to put all these changes into effect. Crabbe draws on entertaining psychological studies to show why we're getting it wrong at the moment and to develop a fresh new approach to taking back one's life from chaotic outside forces. Rarely has a book been more timely in both its scope and in its immediate impact.
