Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Angel on a Freight Train examines the experiences of Samuel Edward Warren (1831–1909), a teacher and college professor in Troy, New York, who struggled to reconcile his same-sex erotic desires with his commitment to a Christian life. Unlike twenty-first-century evangelicals who try to "pray the gay away," Warren discerned no fundamental conflict between his faith and his attraction to younger males. Growing up in the antebellum Northeast, in a culture that permitted and even celebrated emotional bonds between men, he strove to build emotionally intense relationships in many overlapping forms—friendship, pedagogy, evangelism, and romance—which allowed him to enjoy intimacy with little effort at concealment. However, as he passed into mature manhood and built a prestigious career, Warren began to feel that he should have grown out of romantic friendships, which he now feared had become emotionally and physically excessive. Based on Warren's deeply introspective and previously unexplored diaries, Angel on a Freight Train traces his youthful freedom and sensuality, his attempt to join with younger men in a spirit of loving mentorship, and, finally, the tortured introspection of a man whose age seemed to shut him out from an idyllic lost world. In the end, Warren came to believe rather sorrowfully in a radical division between his angelic, ideal self and what he called "the freight train of animal life below."

This set includes: Dex Sly Gunn Angel Switch Dex When they locked me away for another man’s crime they called it justice. When they set me free they called that justice too. But their damned justice cost me my freedom, my family, my club, and the only woman I ever wanted ... Ava. Now I’m back. Only two things have kept me sane all these years. I want to hurt the man responsible for sending me to prison and end his hold over the Great Wolves M.C. forever. And I want the feel of Ava’s body beneath mine again. I need to watch the way she surrenders only to me and makes me whole. It’s selfish of me to think Ava would wait for me. But, I’m a selfish man and it’s time for me to take back what’s mine. Sly Outlaws. That’s all the Great Wolves M.C. were ever supposed to be. But that’s the thinking of a lost generation and I’ve finally brought my club out of the darkness. We’re headed for a brighter future and it only cost me my soul. A small price to pay until I met Scarlett. She came out of nowhere to stir my body and blood. Her dark yearnings equal mine. I can’t get enough. I know she’s hiding something from me and before I’m through, I mean to make her bare everything to me...her body, her heart and her secrets. Because she doesn’t realize she’s met her match. Gunn Like every member of the Great Wolves M.C., I paid for the privilege to wear this patch in blood. My best friend Scotty paid for it with his life. With his dying breath, he made me swear to watch out for his mom and little sister, Brenna. That was seven years ago and I’ve kept my distance but done my best. Until Brenna walked into my clubhouse and turned my world upside down. She’s all grown up with curves that don’t quit. I know I can’t have her. I know I shouldn’t even look, let alone touch. I warned her to stay away from me. But, she’s as stubborn as she is tempting and I want to make her mine no matter how many rules I have to break. Angel My road name has nothing to do with my looks, no matter what women think. I earned it taking a bullet for my Prez and I’d do it again. Soon enough, I may have to. There’s a club war on the horizon and my mission is clear when that day comes. I’ll bleed and die for this brotherhood. It’s too dangerous to let anyone get close to me. Then, Maura walked into my club and spun my heart. Tough. Smart. Classy. But, she needs my protection even if she’s too stubborn to see it. And I need to make her mine, no matter what it costs. Switch When my old man turned rat, the club should have turned their back on me. They didn’t. They took me in and gave me a life. Now, in the middle of a club war, I was willing to give it back to protect my brothers. An easy choice, until I met Kitt. I’ve never wanted anything as much as I want her. Her lips. Those curves. But more than that, she’s got her broken parts and secrets, just like me. She tries to hide them but that only makes me want her more. Only my gut is telling me her secrets could get one of us killed.

Download or read book The Mammoth Book of Angels Demons written by Paula Guran and published by Robinson. This book was released on 2013-05-16 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite our tendency to think of the demonic as evil and the angelic as good, our own legends don't always bear this out. Angels can be the incarnation of light and salvation, but they can also fall - Satan himself is a fallen angel. Demons can be truly demonic, but these unearthly creatures can also, on occasion, lend humankind a hand. Temptation can lead to revelation, supernatural messengers who bring true justice may not be welcomed, and beings seeking redemption can be blind to mortal needs. Stories from world-renowned authors of science fiction and fantasy - including Neil Gaiman, George R. R. Martin and Joyce Carol Oates - and rising stars portray angels in all their glory, demons at their most dreadful, and a surprising variety of modern interpretations of ancient myth.

Download or read book Desolate Angel written by Dennis McNally and published by Hachette Books. This book was released on 2020-03-24 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A blockbuster of a biography . . . absolutely magnificent."--San Francisco Chronicle Jack Kerouac--"King of the Beats," unwitting catalyst for the '60s counterculture, groundbreaking author--was a complex and compelling man: a star athlete with a literary bent; a spontaneous writer vilified by the New Critics but adored by a large, youthful readership; a devout Catholic but aspiring Buddhist; a lover of freedom plagued by crippling alcoholism. Desolate Angel follows Kerouac from his childhood in the mill town of Lowell, Massachusetts, to his early years at Columbia where he met Allen Ginsberg, William S. Burroughs, and Neal Cassady, beginning a four-way friendship that would become a sociointellectual legend. In rich detail and with sensitivity, Dennis McNally recounts Kerouac's frenetic cross-country journeys, his experiments with drugs and sexuality, his travels to Mexico and Tangier, the sudden fame that followed the publication of On the Road, the years of literary triumph, and the final near-decade of frustration and depression. Desolate Angel is a harrowing, compassionate portrait of a man and an artist set in an extraordinary social context. The metamorphosis of America from the Great Depression to the Kennedy administration is not merely the backdrop for Kerouac's life but is revealed to be an essential element of his art . . . for Kerouac was above all a witness to his exceptional times.

Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A "fresh, genre-bending thriller” (Los Angeles Times) set in the near future when water is scarce and a spy, a hardened journalist and a young Texas migrant find themselves pawns in a corrupt game. "Think Chinatown meets Mad Max." NPR, All Things Considered In the near future, the Colorado River has dwindled to a trickle. Detective, assassin, and spy, Angel Velasquez “cuts” water for the Southern Nevada Water Authority, ensuring that its lush arcology developments can bloom in Las Vegas. When rumors of a game-changing water source surface in Phoenix, Angel is sent south, hunting for answers that seem to evaporate as the heat index soars and the landscape becomes more and more oppressive. There, he encounters Lucy Monroe, a hardened journalist with her own agenda, and Maria Villarosa, a young Texas migrant, who dreams of escaping north. As bodies begin to pile up, the three find themselves pawns in a game far bigger and more corrupt than they could have imagined, and when water is more valuable than gold, alliances shift like sand, and the only truth in the desert is that someone will have to bleed if anyone hopes to drink.
