It falls to Dame Frevisse to escort Sir Ralph’s widow and daughter back to their manor, when another death occurs under questionable circumstances—making it clear that not all grievances have been laid to rest. And as family secrets are dragged out into the light, Dame Frevisse realizes that there is a murderer among them who will not rest until the Woderove legacy has been settled once and for all.

Download or read book Stories I Tell Myself written by Juan F. Thompson and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2016-12-13 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hunter S. Thompson, “smart hillbilly,” boy of the South, born and bred in Louisville, Kentucky, son of an insurance salesman and a stay-at-home mom, public school-educated, jailed at seventeen on a bogus petty robbery charge, member of the U.S. Air Force (Airmen Second Class), copy boy for Time, writer for The National Observer, et cetera. From the outset he was the Wild Man of American journalism with a journalistic appetite that touched on subjects that drove his sense of justice and intrigue, from biker gangs and 1960s counterculture to presidential campaigns and psychedelic drugs. He lived larger than life and pulled it up around him in a mad effort to make it as electric, anger-ridden, and drug-fueled as possible. Now Juan Thompson tells the story of his father and of their getting to know each other during their forty-one fraught years together. He writes of the many dark times, of how far they ricocheted away from each other, and of how they found their way back before it was too late. He writes of growing up in an old farmhouse in a narrow mountain valley outside of Aspen—Woody Creek, Colorado, a ranching community with Hereford cattle and clover fields . . . of the presence of guns in the house, the boxes of ammo on the kitchen shelves behind the glass doors of the country cabinets, where others might have placed china and knickknacks . . . of climbing on the back of Hunter’s Bultaco Matador trail motorcycle as a young boy, and father and son roaring up the dirt road, trailing a cloud of dust . . . of being taken to bars in town as a small boy, Hunter holding court while Juan crawled around under the bar stools, picking up change and taking his found loot to Carl’s Pharmacy to buy Archie comic books . . . of going with his parents as a baby to a Ken Kesey/Hells Angels party with dozens of people wandering around the forest in various stages of undress, stoned on pot, tripping on LSD . . . He writes of his growing fear of his father; of the arguments between his parents reaching frightening levels; and of his finally fighting back, trying to protect his mother as the state troopers are called in to separate father and son. And of the inevitable—of mother and son driving west in their Datsun to make a new home, a new life, away from Hunter; of Juan’s first taste of what “normal” could feel like . . . We see Juan going to Concord Academy, a stranger in a strange land, coming from a school that was a log cabin in the middle of hay fields, Juan without manners or socialization . . . going on to college at Tufts; spending a crucial week with his father; Hunter asking for Juan’s opinion of his writing; and he writes of their dirt biking on a hilltop overlooking Woody Creek Valley, acting as if all the horrible things that had happened between them had never taken place, and of being there, together, side by side . . . And finally, movingly, he writes of their long, slow pull toward reconciliation . . . of Juan’s marriage and the birth of his own son; of watching Hunter love his grandson and Juan’s coming to understand how Hunter loved him; of Hunter’s growing illness, and Juan’s becoming both son and father to his father . . .

Through a strange twist of fate, they join up with the rebel dwarves and other allies to free the rest of the dwarves from the grip of a cruel tyrant.

Download or read book The Hunters written by James Salter and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2012-09-01 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Captain Cleve Connell has already made a name for himself among pilots when he arrives in Korea during the war there to fly the newly operational F–86 fighters against the Soviet MIGs. His goal, like that of every fighter pilot, is to chalk up enough kills to become an ace. But things do not turn out as expected. Mission after mission proves fruitless, and Connell finds his ability and his stomach for combat questioned by his fellow airmen: the brash wing commander, Imil; Captain Robey, an ace whose record is suspect; and finally, Lieutenant Pell, a cocky young pilot with an uncanny amount of skill and luck. Disappointment and fear gradually erode Connell's faith in himself, and his dream of making ace seems to slip out of reach. Then suddenly, one dramatic mission above the Yalu River reveals the depth of his courage and honor. Originally published in 1956, The Hunters was James Salter's first novel. Based on his own experiences as a fighter pilot in the Korean War, it is a classic of wartime fiction. Now revised by the author and back in print on the sixty–fifth anniversary of the Air Force, the story of Cleve Connell's war flies straight into the heart of men's rivalries and fears.
Download or read book The Hunter written by Julia Leigh and published by Faber & Faber. This book was released on 2022-06-20 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The hunter arrives in an isolated community in the Tasmanian wilderness with a single purpose in mind: to find the last thylacine, the tiger of fable, fear and legend. The man is in the employ of the mysterious 'Company', but his sinister purpose is never revealed and as his relationship with a grieving mother and her two children becomes more ambiguous, the hunt becomes his own. Leigh's Tasmania is a place where the wilderness can still claim lives; where the connection between people and the land is at best uneasy and cannot be trusted. In prose of exceptional clarity and elegance, Julia Leigh creates an unforgettable picture of a man obsessed by an almost mythical animal in a damp dangerous landscape. The Hunter is the work of a compelling storyteller and a truly remarkable literary stylist.

Book excerpt: The road to hell is paved with good intentions…and tequila, guns, and cocaine in this “rambunctiously entertaining” (Teddy Wayne) debut novel inspired by the author’s time as Hunter S. Thompson’s assistant. Alley Russo is a recent college grad desperately trying to make it in the grueling world of New York publishing, but like so many who have come before her, she has no connections and has settled for an unpaid magazine internship while slinging drinks on Bleecker Street just to make ends meet. That’s when she hears the infamous Walker Reade is looking for an assistant to replace the eight others who have recently quit. Hungry for a chance to get her manuscript onto the desk of an experienced editor, Alley jumps at the opportunity to help Reade finish his latest novel. After surviving an absurd three-day “trial period” involving a .44 magnum, purple-pyramid acid, violent verbal outbursts, brushes with fame and the law, a bevy of peacocks, and a whole lot of cocaine, Alley is invited to stay at the compound where Reade works. For months Alley attempts to coax the novel out of Walker page-by-page, all while battling his endless procrastination, vampiric schedule, Herculean substance abuse, mounting debt, and casual gunplay. But as the job begins to take a toll on her psyche, Alley realizes she’s alone in the Colorado Rockies at the mercy of a drug-addicted literary icon who may never produce another novel—and her fate may already be sealed. “A margarita-fueled, miniskirt-clad cautionary tale of lost literary innocence” (Vogue), Gonzo Girl is a loving fictional portrait of a larger-than-life literary icon.

Download or read book Hunter Tales written by Sage the Writer and published by Sage the Writer. This book was released on 2020-06-17 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Morning time in a beautiful but strangely quiet forest, there were many trees of various sizes, and each tree stretched far and wide to absorb the rays of sunlight. There was also a dried-up six-foot-deep riverbed that stretched out towards the horizon. On the bottom of the river were stones, leaves, and twigs and a man who walked along the inside of it. The man stood tall at six foot three; he had a lanky body but, every step he took caused the stones underneath his feet to be crushed; his complexion was that of a cocoa bean, his pupils were amber, and his hair was dreaded and reached past his shoulders. He held his hair together into a high ponytail with a piece of thick twine. He wore a blue short-sleeved t-shirt, a pair of black faded jeans that were held up by a white leather belt with a buckle of brass and a pair of black steeled toed combat boots. He had three long and jagged scars that went down across his right eye and ended at his chin; walking along, the man looked at his surroundings in relative awe, a loud feral roar echoed throughout the quiet woods. The man stared down the path and squatted down into a runner's start position, and then like a flash, he ran down the river leaving behind him a trail of glass. The man ran for a few seconds until he stopped when he reached a path dipped down to the bottom of a twenty-foot-deep dried lake bed in complete circular shape. At the bottom was a creature of incredible muscular mass; it was ten feet long and stood on tree trunk sized legs and feet, it had long shaggy and dusty blue fur that covered it from head to toe; the only place not covered by fur was the face, which was red and skull-like eyes that were forest green with onyx irises. The creature had four massive arms with no hands, the bottom half of its mouth housed nine six-inch-long and sharp teeth covered in specs of dried blood; the creature’s stomach growled loudly. The creature looked up and caught sight of the man. It let out a high pitched screech as it beat its chest with all four arms. Dropping to the ground, three twelve-inch claws exited out of the stumps; the claws dug deeply into the ground as the creature arched its back unhinged its jaw, and launched a glob of green mucus toward him. The man ducked out of the way of the phlegm causing it to hit a low hanging branch; it exploded and blocked the path in a green-like web. The man looked back at the web and then at the creature, and a smirk appeared on his face as his eyes glowed orange. He took a couple of steps back and ran out toward the cliffs' edge. The creature not expecting that fired three globs of mucus at the man who leaped into the air to avoid the projectiles; with his hands cupped at his side, a soccer ball-sized orange flame appeared in between his hands, “My turn,” said the man, his voice deep and smooth, he thrust his hands forward and unleashed a giant pillar of fire that engulfed the creature's body. It let out a loud wail as its body was turned to ash. Once the wails and flames subsided, he landed on the blackened lake bottom lithely, and he stood up. The air around him started to distort, and once the distortion ended, the entire scenery changed as the depth of the lake changed from twenty to six feet; afterward, a little grassy hill appeared in the middle of the area and sitting on top of it was a steel chest. He walked to the top of the hill and saw that the chest was locked with an iron padlock and that there was only one path behind the hill, he stared at the chest, he had no lock picks so, the man lifted his right leg high. He brought the heel of his foot down hard on to the chest, shattering the container upon contact and littering the hilltop with tiny pieces of steel that glinted underneath the sun's rays. Among the pieces of steel, there was a tiny corked vial of glowing blue liquid, he knelt and picked up the vial. He turned it over in his left hand, making the liquid slosh inside the glass. He popped the cork and downed the fluid in one gulp. A few seconds later, he fell to his knees, grunting in pain, and his eyes started to flash quickly between blue and orange. He fell back on the hill, half awake. He watched the clouds float lazily by, and with the sun high in the sky, he closed his eyes and fell unconscious. He awoke later that night, the man stood up on shaky legs, steadying himself; he let out a yawn as he stretched his arms upward. He looked on his wrist and saw a pair of steel bracers that had one blue gemstone placed inside each of them. He looked over his newest accessories,
