Download or read book The Dreams of the Black Butterfly written by Mark James Barrett and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2016-02-18 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Oh my Lord,” whispered Lizzie, looking over Alice’s shoulder. “Would you look at that?” Alice, startled by the change in Lizzie’s voice, turned to see what had caused it. Sitting not 10 feet from them was the biggest, blackest butterfly she had ever seen. It was resting on the pacay tree at the very end of the garden, balancing on the tip of a giant palm at head height. The butterfly opened and closed its wings slowly and they flashed with a rich darkness. Moises Quispé has heard the whispered rumours about the Black Butterfly – its hypnotic, velvet wings, two feet across and as dark and mystical as the Peruvian jungle night; a jungle receding to a soundtrack of chainsaws and hate; a jungle that gave him life and embraces the spirit of his murdered family. So he searches. Not because of the one million nuevo sol offered for its capture by the maniacal Mr Dollie, or because his mentor – who believes the rumours – has disappeared so completely, but because he must. Perhaps the Black Butterfly has been searching for him too, desperate to reveal the tight, elegant writing embedded in its wings. Its stories: tall, dark and cautionary tales of a doomed humanity that he alone can read. And when the butterfly finally submits, the danger that Moises finds himself in pales into insignificance against the fate of humanity itself. The Black Butterfly has chosen him to deliver its message and the future of mankind is in his hands. Man’s imagination will be nature’s revenge... This gripping and suspensive thriller will appeal to readers who enjoy being kept guessing. “Mark James Barrett is a name to look out for in the future. He is a writer of considerable talent and relevance to our confusing modern times. A truly original read by a rising literary talent.” Hayley Sherman, author, editor and ghost writer, Whoosh Editing
Download or read book The Black Butterfly written by Lawrence T. Brown and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2021-01-26 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The best-selling look at how American cities can promote racial equity, end redlining, and reverse the damaging health- and wealth-related effects of segregation. Winner of the IPPY Book Award Current Events II by the Independent Publisher The world gasped in April 2015 as Baltimore erupted and Black Lives Matter activists, incensed by Freddie Gray's brutal death in police custody, shut down highways and marched on city streets. In The Black Butterfly—a reference to the fact that Baltimore's majority-Black population spreads out like a butterfly's wings on both sides of the coveted strip of real estate running down the center of the city—Lawrence T. Brown reveals that ongoing historical trauma caused by a combination of policies, practices, systems, and budgets is at the root of uprisings and crises in hypersegregated cities around the country. Putting Baltimore under a microscope, Brown looks closely at the causes of segregation, many of which exist in current legislation and regulatory policy despite the common belief that overtly racist policies are a thing of the past. Drawing on social science research, policy analysis, and archival materials, Brown reveals the long history of racial segregation's impact on health, from toxic pollution to police brutality. Beginning with an analysis of the current political moment, Brown delves into how Baltimore's history influenced actions in sister cities such as St. Louis and Cleveland, as well as Baltimore's adoption of increasingly oppressive techniques from cities such as Chicago. But there is reason to hope. Throughout the book, Brown offers a clear five-step plan for activists, nonprofits, and public officials to achieve racial equity. Not content to simply describe and decry urban problems, Brown offers up a wide range of innovative solutions to help heal and restore redlined Black neighborhoods, including municipal reparations. Persuasively arguing that, since urban apartheid was intentionally erected, it can be intentionally dismantled, The Black Butterfly demonstrates that America cannot reflect that Black lives matter until we see how Black neighborhoods matter.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My book follows the life of a young man (eighteen to nineteen) as he works for a secret agency in the protection of humankind against the forces of supernatural creatures and the prevention of mankind learning about the real supernatural world. (Every supernatural creature comes from a city kilometres underground—vampires, giants, Cyclops, demons, and so forth.) This agent is code named Black because he has the power to transform to a full-sized black-scaled dragon with red eyes and purple flames. But the first time he transformed, he was trying to protect a little girl from lava lizards, huge one-ton lizards that spit lava. His powers went out of control, and he burned up the little girl. Now, he does not let a lot of people close. One night, he comes across a work site where four teenagers are being attacked by a shadow wraith (a creature of darkness that feeds on the life force of any living thing). After the attack, Agent Black takes them back to this base to get them checked, where they meet Doc, an elven doctor, and the commander, an immortal woman that has lived for more than a thousand years, and she is the head of the SNPA, the Supernatural Protection/Prevention Agency (depends on which world you come from). Soon after all this, they learn that four teenagers have the same power as Black and have the power to change into dragon (three guys, one girl—ice, earth, and fire guys, and golden magical dragon girl) and are asked to learn from Black to control their powers and protect the secret of this world.

Download or read book God 99 written by Hassan Blasim and published by Comma Press. This book was released on 2020-11-26 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chess-playing people-traffickers, suicidal photographers, absurdist sound sculptors, cat-loving rebel sympathisers, murderous storytellers... The characters in Hassan Blasim’s debut novel are not the inventions of a wild imagination, but real-life refugees and people whose lives have been devastated by war. Interviewed by Hassan Owl, an aspiring Iraq-born writer, they become the subjects of an online art project, a blog that blurs the boundaries between fiction and autobiography, reportage and the novel. Framed by an email correspondence with the mysterious Alia, a translator of the Romanian philosopher Emil Cioran, the project leads us through the bars, brothels and bathhouses of Hassan’s past and present in a journey of trauma, violence, identity and desire. Taking its conceit from the Islamic tradition that says God has 99 names, the novel trains a kaleidoscopic lens on the multiplicity of experiences behind Europe’s so-called ‘migrant crisis’, and asks how those who have been displaced might find themselves again. God 99 is the highly anticipated debut novel by award-winning Iraqi writer, poet and filmmaker Hassan Blasim. Winner of an English PEN Translates Award.

Download or read book Black Butterfly written by Michael Holmes and published by . This book was released on 2014-06-18 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Black Butterfly chronicles the true-life story of one of Savannah, Georgia's most talented female impersonators of the 1980s and 1990s. Joe Nathan Williams, under the name of Miss Tiffany Ross, performed in front of standing-room-only crowds night after night, and was welcomed and liked by all. February 1963, and the place is Savannah, Georgia, a small southern town the people refer to as "the Garden." A place where folklore and voodoo are still very much alive. Where being openly gay can cause you major problems. It is into this world that Joe Nathan is born. Like most kids in the Savannah ghetto, Joe Nathan and his younger sibling, Michael, grew up without a father. Michael longs for Joe Nathan to spend time with him like his friends' older brothers do. There seems to be no chance of that happening; Joe Nathan's interests are more along the lines of creating stained glass and nurturing an ever-growing butterfly collection.
