Book excerpt: "The Road to Mythville" is a collection of poems on the apocalyptic mythos of late-century America, drawing from McDaniel's decade-long sojourn across the nation as a journalist and Jack Kerouac-style poet, from the Southwestern deserts, to the Colorado Rockies, Northern California, New England and back again. A protege of the late Edward Abbey, McDaniel's poetry explores everything from Major League Baseball to environmental catastrophe. Influenced by Kurt Vonnegut, Thomas Pynchon and such poets as John Berryman, Robert Lowell and W.B. Yeats, this rich collection details the human face of a modern, post-punk Luddite.
Download or read book Ginsberg Rolls Over written by Douglas McDaniel and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2008-07-14 with total page 59 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This project started during the massive Bull Run Fire in 2006 in the mountains of central Arizona, and led to a series of serial moves around the West: to Oregon, then back to Arizona. It took on full steam when, out of boredom, the author mused away the long summer hours while working behind the cash register of a big box book store, and then was kept aflame as McDaniel toiled as a reporter in Telluride, Colorado, as the poetic side of the author quietly pursued the hot currents and savage storms of his life, both interior and exterior, culminating in an attempt to catch up to the harsh polarities of the 2008 election season in Denver. Always intended as words to be performed, beat style, this is McDaniel's nod to the greats of the Beat Generation with a message of hope, despite the times.

Download or read book Fearful Symmetries written by Thomas F. Monteleone and published by Diversion Books. This book was released on 2020-11-24 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bram Stoker Award–winning short story collection. “These solidly crafted tales consistently evoke an enjoyably unsettling mood of horror.” —Publishers Weekly Thomas F. Monteleone displays his mastery of the horror genre in the selected short fiction of Fearful Symmetries, collected works spanning more than twenty years of his career. Revel in the deftly deployed classic horror tropes of these twenty-six stories, from their Lovecraftian monsters and archetypal vampires to Bradbury-esque mysteries and Twilight Zone-type tales. In “The Night Is Freezing Fast,” a mysterious hitchhiker emerges from a white-out winter storm, following a boy and his grandfather into an ever-more dangerous evening. “Love Letters”—written as a series of letters from a backwoods Pennsylvanian farmer, a private investigator, and an adult pen pal service—subtly instills psychological suspense into the epistolary form. From celebrity-hunting vampires in “Triptych di Amore” to Lovecraftian behemoths in “Yog Sothoth, Superstar,” there’s a skillfully told trope for every horror reader. With a wry author’s note accompanying each story, and an introduction from the late Rick Hautala, the Bram Stoker Award–winning Fearful Symmetries thrills and disturbs with its twisted tales. Praise for Thomas F. Monteleone “Monteleone has a dark imagination, a wicked pen, and the rare ability to convey an evil chill with words.” —Dean Koontz, New York Times–bestselling author “Tom’s an expert storyteller.” —F. Paul Wilson, author of The Keep and Deep as the Marrow “A vastly entertaining novel of horror and suspense [that poses] difficult questions about the nature of man, God and the devil.” —Los Angeles Daily News “The story is irresistible, moving to a mighty climax.” —The New York Times
