Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For John Nance “Cactus Jack” Garner, there was one simple rule in politics: “You’ve got to bloody your knuckles.” It’s a maxim that applies in so many ways to the state of Texas, where the struggle for power has often unfolded through underhanded politicking, backroom dealings, and, quite literally, bloodshed. The contentious history of Texas politics has been shaped by dangerous and often violent events, and been formed not just in the halls of power but by marginalized voices omitted from the official narratives. A Single Star and Bloody Knuckles traces the state’s conflicted and dramatic evolution over the past 150 years through its pivotal political players, including oft-neglected women and people of color. Beginning in 1870 with the birth of Texas’s modern political framework, Bill Minutaglio chronicles Texas political life against the backdrop of industry, the economy, and race relations, recasting the narrative of influential Texans. With journalistic verve and candor, Minutaglio delivers a contemporary history of the determined men and women who fought for their particular visions of Texas and helped define the state as a potent force in national affairs.

Download or read book Tales of Neveryeon written by Samuel R. Delany and published by Wesleyan University Press. This book was released on 2011-04-15 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his four-volume series Return to Neveryeon, Hugo and Nebula award-winner Samuel R. Delany appropriated the conceits of sword-and-sorcery fantasy to explore his characteristic themes of language, power, gender, and the nature of civilization. Wesleyan University Press has reissued the long-unavailable Neveryeonvolumes in trade paperback. The eleven stories, novellas, and novels in Return to Neveryeon's four volumes chronicle a long-ago land on civilization's brink, perhaps in Asia or Africa, or even on the Mediterranean. Taken slave in childhood, Gorgik gains his freedom, leads a slave revolt, and becomes a minister of state, finally abolishing slavery. Ironically, however, he is sexually aroused by the iron slave collars of servitude. Does this contaminate his mission -- or intensify it? Presumably elaborated from an ancient text of unknown geographical origin, the stories are sunk in translators' and commentators' introductions and appendices, forming a richly comic frame.

This book was released on 1919 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I CAPTAIN SHARKEY: HOW THE GOVERNOR OF SAINT KITT'S CAME HOME When the great wars of the Spanish Succession had been brought to an end by the Treaty of Utrecht, the vast number of privateers which had been fitted out by the contending parties found their occupation gone. Some took to the more peaceful but less lucrative ways of ordinary commerce, others were absorbed into the fishing-fleets, and a few of the more reckless hoisted the Jolly Rodger at the mizzen and the bloody flag at the main, declaring a private war upon their own account against the whole human race. With mixed crews, recruited from every nation they scoured the seas, disappearing occasionally to careen in some lonely inlet, or putting in for a debauch at some outlaying port, where they dazzled the inhabitants by their lavishness and horrified them by their brutalities. On the Coromandel Coast, at Madagascar, in the African waters, and above all in the West Indian and American seas, the pirates were a constant menace. With an insolent luxury they would regulate their depredations by the comfort of the seasons, harrying New England in the summer and dropping south again to the tropical islands in the winter. They were the more to be dreaded because they had none of that discipline and restraint which made their predecessors, the Buccaneers, both formidable and respectable. These Ishmaels of the sea rendered an account to no man, and treated their prisoners according to the drunken whim of the moment. Flashes of grotesque generosity alternated with longer stretches of inconceivable ferocity, and the skipper who fell into their hands might find himself dismissed with his cargo, after serving as boon companion in some hideous debauch, or might sit at his cabin table with his own nose and his lips served up with pepper and salt in front of him. It took a stout seaman in those days to ply his calling in the Caribbean Gulf

This book was released on 2021-07-14 with total page 421 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you love POE, BARKER and THE TWILIGHT ZONE, you'll love "SUICIDE THE HARD WAY"! SUICIDE THE HARD WAY: And Other Tales From The Innerzone –– collects 7 never-before-released stories of the macabre from CHRISTOPHER ALAN BROADSTONE, horror filmmaker (3 DEAD GIRLS!) and novelist (PUZZLEMAN). Each tale lures us down twilight byways instinctively sped-through and discounted by most, but never explored. Within these stories, however, we become lost, meandering onto backstreets and alleyways –– stumbling through the grim reality of introspection that always leads to a terrifying, nihilistic, and often brutal look into the soul: the Innerzone. Continuing this theme, SUICIDE THE HARD WAY also includes Broadstone's 3 screenplays for his award-winning short films, SCREAM FOR ME (Best Short Film: New York City Horror Film Festival), MY SKIN! (Best Horror Short Category: Shriekfest Film Festival [L.A.]), and HUMAN NO MORE (Best Horror Short: The Indie Gathering [O.H.]). These films, anthologized as the DVD 3 DEAD GIRLS! (available on Amazon), are explored in-depth by film critic MATTHEW SANDERSON in his original essay for this printing, titled: MADNESS AND MEANING. To bring even greater insight to Broadstone's filmmaking process, is the production diary kept by reviewer/filmmaker LEE BAILES, while working as Assistant Camera and BTS videographer on the set of HUMAN NO MORE. First published on the website THE RUMOUR MACHINE, it is now available here, titled: THE MAKING OF HNM: How An Englishman Spent His Summer In An L.A. Basement. (Active links to Film Music and Additional Film Info are also included in the Kindle version of this book.) Completing SUICIDE THE HARD WAY is a section compiling 32 of Broadstone's previously unpublished dark, introspective lyrics and poetry, some if which are interpolated into his films, and many others of which are lyrics for music recorded and performed by his heavy grunge/rock band, THE JUDAS ENGINE. (Active links to Downloadable Music are also included in the Kindle version of this book.) SUICIDE THE HARD WAY: And Other Tales From The Innerzone is an ambitious work that chronicles all facets of Christopher Alan Broadstone's creative career: writer, poet/lyricist, musician, and filmmaker.
