Book Synopsis Monsters under Glass by : Jane Desmarais
Download or read book Monsters under Glass written by Jane Desmarais and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2018-08-15 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Monsters under Glass explores our enduring fascination with hothouses and exotic blooms, from their rise in ancient times, through the Victorian vogue for plant collecting, to the vegetable monsters of twentieth-century science fiction and the movies, comics, and video games of the present day. Our interest in hothouses can be traced back to the Roman emperor Tiberius, but it was only in the early nineteenth century that a boom in exotic plant collecting and new glasshouse technologies stimulated the imagination of novelists, poets, and artists, and the hothouse entered the creative language in a highly charged way. Decadent writers in England and Europe—including Charles Baudelaire and Oscar Wilde—transformed the hothouse from a functional object to a powerful metaphor of metropolitan life, sexuality, and being replete with a dark underside of decay and death; and of consciousness itself, nurtured and dissected under glass. In a study as wide-ranging, vivid, and beautiful as our beloved exotic blooms themselves, Jane Desmarais charts the history and influence of these humid, tropical worlds and their creations, providing a steamy window onto our recent past.

Book Synopsis The Fortress of Glass by : David Drake
Download or read book The Fortress of Glass written by David Drake and published by Tor Books. This book was released on 2007-04-03 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Fortress of Glass by David Drake is the first in the Crown of the Isles trilogy, which will conclude the epic Lord of the Isles series. A true trilogy, the action extends over the whole three-book arc. The Fortress of Glass begins the story of how the new kingdom of the Isles is finally brought into being by the group of heroes and heroines who have been central to all the books in the series. The group includes Prince Garric, heir to the throne of the Isles, his consort Liane, his sister Sharina, her herculean sweetheart Cashel, his sister Ilna, with her adopted child Merota and piratical Chalcus. On giant triremes filled with soldiers and diplomats, they journey to the small kingdoms of the Isles to confirm the succession of Garric and to subdue, if necessary, any local rulers too fond of their own kingship to pledge fealty to Garric. All this is being done in a time when the powers of magic in the Isles have flooded to a thousand-year peak, and even local magicians can perform powerful spells normally beyond their control. Fantastic forces from all angles try to keep them apart and unable to continue the reunification of the Isles. So separately and together, they must fight their way back to the same time and place to combat the mysterious and supernatural menace of The Green Woman in her Fortress of Glass. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Download or read book Bad Glass written by Richard E. Gropp and published by Del Rey. This book was released on 2012-09-25 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most hauntingly original dark fantasy debuts in years—perfect for fans of Lost and Mark Danielewski’s cult classic, House of Leaves. Something has happened in Spokane. The military has evacuated the city and locked it down. Even so, disturbing rumors and images seep out, finding their way onto the Internet, spreading curiosity, skepticism, and panic. For what they show is—or should be—impossible: strange creatures that cannot exist, sudden disappearances that violate the laws of physics, human bodies fused with inanimate objects, trapped yet still half alive. . . . Dean Walker, an aspiring photographer, sneaks into the quarantined city in search of fame. What he finds will change him in unimaginable ways. Hooking up with a group of outcasts led by a beautiful young woman named Taylor, Dean embarks on a journey into the heart of a mystery whose philosophical implications are as terrifying as its physical manifestations. Even as he falls in love with Taylor—a woman as damaged and seductive as the city itself—his already tenuous hold on reality starts to come loose. Or perhaps it is Spokane’s grip on the world that is coming undone. Now, caught up in a web of interlacing secrets and betrayals, Dean, Taylor, and their friends must make their way through this ever-shifting maze of a city, a city that is actively hunting them down, herding them toward a shocking destiny.

Book Synopsis Stained Glass Monsters by : Andrea K Höst
Download or read book Stained Glass Monsters written by Andrea K Höst and published by Andrea K Hösth. This book was released on 2011-01 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Creatures from the Eferum are a world-wide problem: creeping through tears in the fabric of space, they feast on every unprotected human they can find. Tyrland has a solution in the Kellian: faster and stronger than humans, they are Tyrland's clawed, shadowy monster hunters. But no matter how faithfully they serve, or how true their sworn word, they are too different, too separate, to ever be entirely trusted. Rennyn Claire is a complication. Secretive and obscenely powerful, she knows entirely too much about a massive new threat to Tyrland's safety. Worst of all, she is linked to a past that the Kellian would rather forget. All three of these things – monsters, Kellian, and an entirely overpowered mage – are about to land in Kendall Stockton's lap. The last thing Kendall wants is to try to play conscience to someone who can swat her like a bug. But innocent lives are at stake, and no-one else seems willing to ask if what is necessary is the right thing to do. And who, exactly, is the monster? Keywords: fantasy, high fantasy, fantasy romance, epic fantasy, australian author
Book Synopsis If Your Monster Won't Go To Bed by : Denise Vega
Download or read book If Your Monster Won't Go To Bed written by Denise Vega and published by Knopf Books for Young Readers. This book was released on 2017-03-14 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For fans of How to Babysit a Grandpa comes a tongue-in-cheek story that is a step-by-step manual for putting your monster to bed. If you have a monster that won’t go to bed, don’t bother asking your parents to help. They know a lot about putting kids to bed, but nothing about putting monsters to bed. It’s not their fault; they’re just not good at it. Read this book instead. It will tell you what to feed your monster before bed (it’s not warm milk), and what to sing to your monster (it’s not a soothing lullaby), and what to read to your monster to send him off to dreamland in no time (the scarier, the better). Just make sure you don’t get too good at putting monsters to bed—or you might have a BIG problem on your hands! Praise for Zachariah OHora: “The text is pitch-perfect, and the art is its match.” —Chicago Tribune (Wolfie the Bunny) “Picture books with hip, quirky illustrations that are not just funny but also have plenty of heart are hard to find.

They clearly show everyone’s feelings . . . and there are brilliant bits of humor and whimsy.” —School Library Journal, starred review (Wolfie the Bunny) “OHora could paint stones in the street and make them funny.” —Publishers Weekly (My Cousin Momo)

Book excerpt: Michael Carson witnesses the brutal and senseless slaughter of his family during Kristallnacht in the early days of World War 2. The loss of his family has left him with deep emotional scars, with feelings of anger and hatred becoming all-consuming to the young man. Years later, he seeks his revenge. Along with the mysterious Jason Froemmer, Carson begins a mission to eradicate the bloodlines of each soldier who partook in his family's slaughter so many years earlier. Carson enlists his grandson Ryan to help in creating their own Final Solution, in the form of a deadly maze filled with traps and terrors located deep below Carson's isolated Maine mansion. There, the last living descendants of the soldiers are left to fight the terrors of the maze or die trying. The captured men and women have far more than traps to contend with. Lurking in the maze is a Golem, a nearly indestructible supernatural creature driven by a blind rage and will only be able to rest once all the prisoners are dead. Ryan soon comes to the grim realization that he has been manipulated by Froemmer to further his own dark agenda. He realizes that in order to try and set things right, he must enter the maze and save the prisoners before Froemmer or the Golem can get to them first.
Download or read book Glass Bikini written by Kristin Bock and published by . This book was released on 2021-12 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part creation myth, part prophesy, Kristin Bock's GLASS BIKINI stitches together the fabrics of our dystopian present, reminding us of our culpability and power in this grand, human experiment. These often darkly humorous poems guide readers into dreamscapes and under-worlds that are ominously contemporary. From a looking-glass planet, we peer back at our own homes and see the news as a horror movie. There is the sickening feeling that something has gone terribly wrong. Monsters prowl here inspired as much by Sarah Kane as Mary Shelley. We hold a tiny prehistoric horse in our paws. We are masochistic voodoo dolls traipsing hand in hand through grisliness and the sublime. If there is any hope in this nightmarish proliferation of cyborgs and militia, it lies within the liberating powers of the feminine. GLASS BIKINI is both mirror and warning, asking us to see our own strange and terrifying shapes, the monsters we have helped create, and the ones we have become. Poetry.
