Book excerpt: Would you recognize a real scream at Halloween? That's the question haunting Norah Lewis. She heard -and ignored-her brother's last screams on the night he died.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Thicket opens into intimate encounters with the more-than-human world—rivers, birds, stones—and with a “you” that is not a person, necessarily, but also not not a person: maybe God, maybe an aspect of the self, maybe neither or both. Often speaking of/to the small or overlooked (weeds by a roadside, an abandoned silo), the poems orient themselves toward edges, transitional spaces like the one where fields shift into woods. Where does one body stop? The Thicket takes an interest in becoming, one thing flowing into something else. Excerpt from “At Cape Henlopen” All night wind insists in the trees, its unsteady hush funneling us down into sleep under the tender shelter the oaks, even leafless, make—all night their trunks creak and sigh and speak. Speak to me—I think the word protect until its edges dissolve, inside the tent that wraps us like another, thinner skin, rocked and chastened by the wind that doesn’t cease . . .

Download or read book The Thicket written by Joe R. Lansdale and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2013-09-10 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now a Tubi original film starring Peter Dinklage and Juliette Lewis, this rip-roaring adventure set at the dark dawn of the East Texas oil boom is the perfect introduction to Joe R. Lansdale, whose work has been called "as funny and frightening as anything that could have been dreamed up by the Brothers Grimm — or Mark Twain" (New York Times Book Review). Jack Parker thought he'd already seen his fair share of tragedy. His grandmother was killed in a farm accident when he was barely five years old. His parents have just succumbed to the smallpox epidemic sweeping turn-of-the-century East Texas -- orphaning him and his younger sister, Lula. Then catastrophe strikes on the way to their uncle's farm, when a traveling group of bank-robbing bandits murder Jack's grandfather and kidnap his sister. With no elders left for miles, Jack must grow up fast and enlist a band of heroes the likes of which has never been seen if his sister stands any chance at survival. But the best he can come up with is a charismatic, bounty-hunting dwarf named Shorty, a grave-digging son of an ex-slave named Eustace, and a street-smart woman-for-hire named Jimmie Sue who's come into some very intimate knowledge about the bandits (and a few members of Jack's extended family to boot). In the throes of being civilized, East Texas is still a wild, feral place. Oil wells spurt liquid money from the ground. But as Jack's about to find out, blood and redemption rule supreme. In The Thicket, award-winning novelist Joe R. Lansdale lets loose like never before, in an action-packed adventure that's equal parts True Grit and Stand by Me.

Book excerpt: These are some of the adventures of a Kansas farm boy, who tried to live life. He met and married a California girl who was the love of his life and she was a woman, a lady and a woman of God, who lived life with him. Through the many adventures, some dangerous and/or life threatening, he felt that God was there and looking out for him, for reasons known only to God. He claims to be nothing special, quite the contrary. His travels took him to far off and exotic places, Panama, Latin America, Mexico, Hawaii, Guam, Philippines, Viet Nam, Taiwan, Germany, Italy, Greece, Ethiopia, Spain, France and California. Horses, motorcycles, war, law enforcement, hunting, people, kids and the love of a good woman are all a part of his story. When his wife was diagnosed with liver cancer and God chose to take her home, in his searching for understanding and peace of mind, he started writing as a form of coping, and turned to God for understanding. God provided the understanding in the form of a 4-year-old child. This 4-year-old girl is the Symbol of God's Love and being a child is the Symbol of Hope for all of us. Through the many encounters, God and Kate looked out for and took care of him. Hence, the title God, Kate, and I.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tom Lee Parker is a fourteen-year-old boy going through his awkward teen years. What makes adolescence tougher for Tom, though, is that he is a preacher’s kid. His father, Reverend Parker, has pastored the church in his hometown Tom’s whole life, and Tom has gotten into plenty of scrapes at school because of it. For Tom, church is a Sunday morning chore—and bore. Tom just wants to find adventure, and he soon does in a run-down old mansion that is supposedly haunted but might also hide a fortune in gold. Tom and three of his friends decide to investigate, hoping to solve a hundred-year-old riddle. Along the way, they discover hardships and danger in their quest. They must battle unseen forces in order to succeed, but they also learn there is more to this “treasure” than they could have imagined. Tom sets off to escape his humdrum life as a preacher’s kid and find gold. Instead, he finds a different treasure—a treasure of the heart.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ed was a sixteen-year-old conservative Mennonite farm boy growing up on the family farm in Central Kansas in 1884. One day, while riding Copper, his well-trained and beloved horse, to get the cows home for milking, Ed noticed something behind a sand plum thicket. Not getting a very good look at what it was behind the thicket, his curiosity drove him back there after the milking was done. Whatever it was behind the thicket left a small pile of sand plum seeds. It had to be a human because most animals would eat the seeds along with the plums. Ed was determined to find who it was stealing their sand plums. The next day, Ed went a little earlier to get the cows home in order to catch this sand plum thief. Ed was not prepared for what he found. A beautiful Native American girl about his own age, the most beautiful girl he had ever seen, was the sand plum thief. When she saw Ed watching her, she gave him a smile that would have melted the heart of any sixteen- year-old American boy, but she quickly ran off and hid from him. This did not deter Ed from making plans to come back the next day to see the beautiful girl. He had just one problem though. He was a Mennonite, and Mennonites were to associate with their own people only. How could he possibly tell his parents that the sand plum thief was a beautiful Native American girl, and he was going back the next day to see her again? Will this develop into an interracial relationship, something unheard of in Mennonite culture at that time, or will it lead only to heartbreak for two young people?
