Book excerpt: Would you recognize a real scream at Halloween? That's the question haunting Norah Lewis. She heard -and ignored-her brother's last screams on the night he died. Because nothing in the haunted house was supposed to be real. Not the screams. Not the knife-wielding psychopaths. And not the blood.In the wake of the slayings, parent groups and PTAs lobby for a shutdown while thrill seekers-including many of Norah's classmates- clamor to visit the "real" haunted house.Tormented by survivor's guilt, Norah secretly plans to retrace her brother's final steps.But the killer hasn't chosen his hunting ground at random. And, like Norah, he plans to return.
Book Synopsis Into the Thicket by : H. Palmer Hall
Download or read book Into the Thicket written by H. Palmer Hall and published by . This book was released on 2011-04 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Into the Thicket, H. Palmer Hall, reminds us that an East Texas pine tree blown over by a storm simply clears the land for seedlings that follow, that the crunch of Gulf oyster shells under your boots beckons you back to the ocean, that sometimes you have to rub the bark of an oak tree to get under someone's skin. From the Neches to the Rio Grande to Tigris River, Hall's stories confirm the collective identity between man and woman and beast and soil, blurring time and space and life and death with his poetic pen.
Download or read book The Thicket written by Kasey Jueds and published by University of Pittsburgh Press. This book was released on 2021-11-02 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Thicket opens into intimate encounters with the more-than-human world—rivers, birds, stones—and with a “you” that is not a person, necessarily, but also not not a person: maybe God, maybe an aspect of the self, maybe neither or both. Often speaking of/to the small or overlooked (weeds by a roadside, an abandoned silo), the poems orient themselves toward edges, transitional spaces like the one where fields shift into woods. Where does one body stop? The Thicket takes an interest in becoming, one thing flowing into something else. Excerpt from “At Cape Henlopen” All night wind insists in the trees, its unsteady hush funneling us down into sleep under the tender shelter the oaks, even leafless, make—all night their trunks creak and sigh and speak. Speak to me—I think the word protect until its edges dissolve, inside the tent that wraps us like another, thinner skin, rocked and chastened by the wind that doesn’t cease . . .
Download or read book The Thicket written by Joe R. Lansdale and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2013-09-10 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now a Tubi original film starring Peter Dinklage and Juliette Lewis, this rip-roaring adventure set at the dark dawn of the East Texas oil boom is the perfect introduction to Joe R. Lansdale, whose work has been called "as funny and frightening as anything that could have been dreamed up by the Brothers Grimm — or Mark Twain" (New York Times Book Review). Jack Parker thought he'd already seen his fair share of tragedy. His grandmother was killed in a farm accident when he was barely five years old. His parents have just succumbed to the smallpox epidemic sweeping turn-of-the-century East Texas -- orphaning him and his younger sister, Lula. Then catastrophe strikes on the way to their uncle's farm, when a traveling group of bank-robbing bandits murder Jack's grandfather and kidnap his sister. With no elders left for miles, Jack must grow up fast and enlist a band of heroes the likes of which has never been seen if his sister stands any chance at survival. But the best he can come up with is a charismatic, bounty-hunting dwarf named Shorty, a grave-digging son of an ex-slave named Eustace, and a street-smart woman-for-hire named Jimmie Sue who's come into some very intimate knowledge about the bandits (and a few members of Jack's extended family to boot). In the throes of being civilized, East Texas is still a wild, feral place. Oil wells spurt liquid money from the ground. But as Jack's about to find out, blood and redemption rule supreme. In The Thicket, award-winning novelist Joe R. Lansdale lets loose like never before, in an action-packed adventure that's equal parts True Grit and Stand by Me.

Book Synopsis The Big Thicket by : Pete Addison Y. Gunter
Download or read book The Big Thicket written by Pete Addison Y. Gunter and published by University of North Texas Press. This book was released on 1993 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When a bill creating the Big Thicket National Preserve was signed into law, it climaxed more than half a century of environmental debate, planning and destruction. The preserve opened new vistas for recreation. In this revised and updated version, Gunter not only describes the history and rich diversity of the region saved from the bulldozers of real estate developers and lumber companies, but also the dimensions of the new Big Thicket Preserve. He makes it possible to plan a trip there by including descriptions of each stream corridor unit, maps and canoeing conditions, hiking trails, and camping facilities. He lists representative flora and fauna. The book provides a background—both historical and biological—which will make clear just what the visitor to the Big Thicket is seeing; why it has mattered, and why it will continue to matter.
Book Synopsis The Ram in a Thicket by : George Wadleigh
Download or read book The Ram in a Thicket written by George Wadleigh and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Ram in a Thicket focuses on the interface between Christian Science and medicine, and the ethical issues therein. Other topics which have received less attention than needed in our church discussion include: the law and children, the role of free speech and secrecy (the "dumbing down" of teaching will be included in this chapter), the value of community, self-knowledge, religious self-regulation, listening to prophetic voices, reconciliation of differing points of view and dealing with controversy, Biblical literacy, perfectionism, and distinguishing between dogma and doctrine. Input for this book has come from church archives, various research and histories, numerous interviews, and the observations of many long-time Christian Scientists. The book is intended to provoke thought among church members and others with a connection to Christian Science. Its goal is not to establish any new set of doctrinal positions, but to encourage a continual revival of Spirit and a fresh look at our church practices"--
Book Synopsis The Fight in the Lion's Thicket by : H. G. Wells
Download or read book The Fight in the Lion's Thicket written by H. G. Wells and published by Read Books Ltd. This book was released on 2016-09-14 with total page 17 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is H. G. Wells' 1887 novella, "The Fight in the Lion's Thicket". An intriguing page-turner, this short story is highly recommended for all lovers of the form and is not to be missed by fans and collectors of Wells' wonderful work. Herbert George Wells (1866 - 1946) was a prolific English writer who wrote in a variety of genres, including the novel, politics, history, and social commentary. Today, he is perhaps best remembered for his contributions to the science fiction genre thanks to such novels as "The Time Machine" (1895), "The Invisible Man" (1897), and "The War of the Worlds" (1898). "The Father of Science Fiction" was also a staunch socialist, and his later works are increasingly political and didactic. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this book now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.

Book Synopsis Jubilant Thicket by : Jonathan Williams
Download or read book Jubilant Thicket written by Jonathan Williams and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jonathan Williams founded The Jargon Society--a publisher dedicated to poetry, experimental fiction, photography and visionary folk art--and has championed the underdog, maverick and outsider in the arts for 50 years. He has also published over 100 of his own books, pamphlets and broadsides of poetry, essays and photography. Jubilant Thicket collects the best of his poetry and teems with the eccentric, strange and boundlessly authentic--neoclassical poems, social satire, musical suites and lyrics. There is spleen, salt and a delicious -sarcasm, as Williams finds inspiration in Mahler and Mojo Nixon, Blake and whimmydiddles. There is nobody quite like Jonathan Williams: "He is one of the few poets about whom it could be said, he has never bored a reader."--Contemporary Poets "Of all the Black Mountain poets (teachers and disciples alike), Jonathan Williams is the wittiest, the least constrained, the most joyous."--The New York Times "Jonathan Williams is himself a kind of polytechnic -institute, trained to write poems as spare, functional and alive as a blade of grass."--Guy Davenport, from The Geography of the Imagination "Indispensable! . . . We need him more than we know."--R. Buckminster Fuller Of the thousands of essays and reviews published about his work, Williams writes, "The best thing yet said about me came from an undergraduate at the University of Chicago. His letter ended: 'Thanks for writing all those kick-ass books.'" Jonathan Williams's most recent book is A Palpable Elysium: Portraits of Genius and Solitude (Godine). He founded The Jargon Society in 1951, a publisher that, according to The New York Times, "has come to occupy a special place in the cultural life as patron of the American imagination." He lives on Skywinding Farm in rural North Carolina.
