Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THERE GOES THE NEIGHBORHOOD The housing market is depressed. But not as depressed as anyone who spends a night at 668 Langford Place. The decaying mansion next door—number 666—will soon see the return of Bog-Muggoth, an ancient, evil demon that makes the Amityville Horror seem like Casper the Friendly Ghost. But Bog-Muggoth isn’t making his haunted house call alone. Other vile gods from beyond time and space will be joining in the festivities to make the world their oyster—and leave it an empty shell. Only one man can keep the Older Deities from dieting on the human race… KENT MONTANA He's the descendant of Scottish nobility or so he claims. He's an out-of-work actor. He never gets a good script…but his life is more exciting than any science fiction movie. In fact, his life is a science fiction movie. (previously published as written by Lionel Fenn)

Download or read book Folk Culture in the Digital Age written by Trevor J. Blank and published by University Press of Colorado. This book was released on 2012-11-16 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Smart phones, tablets, Facebook, Twitter, and wireless Internet connections are the latest technologies to have become entrenched in our culture. Although traditionalists have argued that computer-mediated communication and cyberspace are incongruent with the study of folklore, Trevor J. Blank sees the digital world as fully capable of generating, transmitting, performing, and archiving vernacular culture. Folklore in the Digital Age documents the emergent cultural scenes and expressive folkloric communications made possible by digital “new media” technologies. New media is changing the ways in which people learn, share, participate, and engage with others as they adopt technologies to complement and supplement traditional means of vernacular expression. But behavioral and structural overlap in many folkloric forms exists between on- and offline, and emerging patterns in digital rhetoric mimic the dynamics of previously documented folkloric forms, invoking familiar social or behavior customs, linguistic inflections, and symbolic gestures. Folklore in the Digital Age provides insights and perspectives on the myriad ways in which folk culture manifests in the digital age and contributes to our greater understanding of vernacular expression in our ever-changing technological world.

Download or read book Connecticut Beer written by Will Siss and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2015-04-27 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of the frothy beverage in Connecticut dates back to early colonists, who used it to quench their thirst in the absence of clean drinking water. So integral was beer to daily life in the colony that government officials and militiamen congregated in taverns like the General Wolfe to talk laws and business over pints of ale. Over the next two centuries, the number of breweries rose and then declined, especially after Prohibition. It was not until the 1980s that homebrewers brought this vital Nutmeg State tradition back to life, hatching the likes of New England and Cottrell Brewing Companies, as well as brewpubs including City Steam and Southport Brewing. More recently, small operations with one or two people, such as Relic and Beer'd, are changing the landscape again. Connecticut beer writer Will Siss introduces readers to the hardworking people who keep the breweries and beer bars inviting and the hoppy history alive.
