Book excerpt: A hundred and fifty years ago, in the sleepy fishing village of Darkness Falls, Matilda Dixon would give the local children cakes and treats and accept their baby teeth as payment. After her husband Sonny was killed in a boating accident and a kitchen fire left her horribly scarred, Matilda became a recluse - but she still collected baby teeth, now leaving coins behind instead of treats. When two children went missing on their way to visit the tooth fairy, the townspeople lynched Matilda in retaliation - just as the two children turned up alive and well. Today, Kyle Walsh lives his life in fear, and has ever since he left Darkness Falls as a boy.

Download or read book Watching Darkness Fall written by David McKean and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2021-11-09 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A gripping and groundbreaking account of how all but one of FDR's ambassadors in Europe misjudged Hitler and his intentions As German tanks rolled toward Paris in late May 1940, the U.S. Ambassador to France, William Bullitt, was determined to stay put, holed up in the Chateau St. Firmin in Chantilly, his country residence. Bullitt told the president that he would neither evacuate the embassy nor his chateau, an eighteenth Renaissance manse with a wine cellar of over 18,000 bottles, even though “we have only two revolvers in this entire mission with only forty bullets.” As German forces closed in on the French capital, Bullitt wrote the president, “In case I should get blown up before I see you again, I want you to know that it has been marvelous to work for you.” As the fighting raged in France, across the English Channel, Ambassador to Great Britain Joseph P. Kennedy wrote to his wife Rose, “The situation is more than critical. It means a terrible finish for the allies.” David McKean's Watching Darkness Fall will recount the rise of the Third Reich in Germany and the road to war from the perspective of four American diplomats in Europe who witnessed it firsthand: Joseph Kennedy, William Dodd, Breckinridge Long, and William Bullitt, who all served in key Western European capitals—London, Berlin, Rome, Paris, and Moscow—in the years prior to World War II. In many ways they were America’s first line of defense and they often communicated with the president directly, as Roosevelt's eyes and ears on the ground. Unfortunately, most of them underestimated the power and resolve of Adolf Hitler and Germany’s Third Reich. Watching Darkness Fall is a gripping new history of the years leading up to and the beginning of WWII in Europe told through the lives of five well-educated and mostly wealthy men all vying for the attention of the man in the Oval Office.

The changes a teen goes through are tough. And as a senior, I stressed over planning my future. But that was nothing compared to what I would face and the future that waited for me. Whether by chance or fate, the change happened suddenly. I woke burning with thirst and a desire to understand the impossible. A girl, a very intoxicating girl, was there to help. Tabitha had saved my life. She fed me, taught me, but had to send me out on my own, without friends, without family, and worst of all, without her. My life was cursed and my body marked. Those were the things that brought others to me, others like myself-vampires. But although I rejected what I had become and the desires that came with it, I knew I had to accept their help. I have a wedding to stop. The family of my seductive angel intends for her to marry a power-hungry German with unchecked ambitions. That will happen over my dead body, or rather, my ashes. And my plan will turn this crazy world upside down when "Darkness Has Fallen."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this sequel to And Darkness Fell, it has been nearly three months since the plague of death has wiped away most of the U.S. population. People continue to die, while others have gone into hiding from those who have turned into vicious savages. Most of the power grids have stopped working, and food and other necessities have become nearly non-existent. Alan Moss and his partner, Brooke Fields, remain living in quiet solitude in Alan’s family home on their 88-acre farm in rural western Pennsylvania. They have managed to survive with the help of a home generator and stored food and supplies that Alan’s uncle had accumulated before the old man died. But their stores have dwindled over the months, and occasional forays into the surrounding countryside for gas and canned goods have become necessary. It is only a short trip to the local country store, but with vicious killers now wandering the hills in packs, Moss and Fields know that every day could be fraught with terror, and each time they leave the house could be their last day on earth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's the undetermined but near future. America's population is plunging, beset by a mysterious plague that robs individuals of their mental faculties before causing catastrophic respiratory failure. One by one, the institutions of society are also failing. Electric power, media, and law enforcement have become nearly nonexistent. Only a small force, of military origin but exhibiting strange behavior and superhuman abilities, seems to be functioning.Amid this dark and disturbing world, former soldier Alan Moss, who remains unaffected by the disease, struggles to survive the roving bands of murderous thugs—of both sexes—who are preying on the dead and dying. As he undertakes a thousand-mile drive from his home in Orlando to his mother's farm in western Pennsylvania, the highways become concrete battlefields that expose him to horrors he had not encountered even during his difficult military service. Along the way he hooks up with Reed McCallum, an ex-schoolteacher and recent victim of a mugging; and Brooke Fields, a nurse who has left the disintegrating medical system at Walter Reed Army Hospital. Together, the trio faces danger at every turn.

Download or read book Darkness Falls on the Land of Light written by Douglas L. Winiarski and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2017-02-09 with total page 632 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This sweeping history of popular religion in eighteenth-century New England examines the experiences of ordinary people living through extraordinary times. Drawing on an unprecedented quantity of letters, diaries, and testimonies, Douglas Winiarski recovers the pervasive and vigorous lay piety of the early eighteenth century. George Whitefield's preaching tour of 1740 called into question the fundamental assumptions of this thriving religious culture. Incited by Whitefield and fascinated by miraculous gifts of the Holy Spirit--visions, bodily fits, and sudden conversions--countless New Englanders broke ranks with family, neighbors, and ministers who dismissed their religious experiences as delusive enthusiasm. These new converts, the progenitors of today's evangelical movement, bitterly assaulted the Congregational establishment. The 1740s and 1750s were the dark night of the New England soul, as men and women groped toward a restructured religious order. Conflict transformed inclusive parishes into exclusive networks of combative spiritual seekers. Then as now, evangelicalism emboldened ordinary people to question traditional authorities. Their challenge shattered whole communities.

Download or read book Through Dust and Darkness written by Jeremy Kroeker and published by Rocky Mountain Books Ltd. This book was released on 2013-09-25 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jeremy Kroeker is a Mennonite with a motorcycle. He doesn’t have a funny beard and he’s never even driven a buggy, but his family hails from the same Mennonite community that Miriam Toews fictionalized in A Complicated Kindness. From childhood through college, Kroeker attended Christian schools where he learned to think critically back to predetermined conclusions. Years later, when his faith begins to unravel, Kroeker stops short of tossing it all aside, choosing instead to leave every unanswered question hanging there on the edge of his mind. He might have gotten away with it, too, except for a drunken resolution that forces the issue of God back into his life. In the fall of 2007, Kroeker decides to ride his motorcycle across Europe and into the theocratic nation of Iran... a nation ruled by God. In the end, Kroeker finds himself on a forbidden visit to the holiest Muslim shrine in all of Iran. Once inside, invisible hands reach into Kroeker’s chest and rip from his heart a sincere prayer, his first in many years. And God hears that prayer. For before Kroeker can escape Mashhad, God steals into his hotel room one night to threaten him with death. At least, that’s one way to look at it. Throughout the narrative, Kroeker swings from dogmatic belief in God to overwhelming doubt before finally deciding that the key to approaching God is humility. He understands that uncertainty is not only an acceptable state of mind when considering the Divine, but it is necessary. He will always fear God. But who knows? Perhaps if he keeps riding, one of these days God will speak clearly. And that frightens him, too.
