Download or read book A Self Made Monster written by Steve Vivian and published by Bitingduck Press LLC. This book was released on 1999-07 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dead too have hopes... And among the hopeful dead is Alex Resartus: obtuse professor, obscure novelist, schizophrenic...and vampire. As an obtuse professor, he bewilders and frustrates his bored students; as an obscure novelist with a once-promising reputation, he desires to recover his creative powers, but his shattered mind stands in the way. As a schizophrenic, Alex's mind is broken, and in this most unusual novel, A Self-Made Monster, Alex plans to reorganize his broken mind with whole blood. For Alex's special quirkOCoboth his blessing and his curseOCois that he takes on the traits of his victims in most surprising ways. Alex sees the brilliant and socially backward student, Edward Head, as his savior: Edward's disciplined and powerful mind is just the tonic Alex needs to rejuvenate his creative powers. But Alex is not the only one with hopes. The living among him have their own hopes. EdwardOCOs hopes are carnal. He desires both Holly Dish, an amalgam of sweaty undergraduate daydreams, and Claire Sweet, a returning adult coed who is both cool and mysterious. Holly and Claire too have their own hopes, as does the short and cynical Jimmy Stubbs, who hates to study and loves to drink beer and scheme. The hopes of each character intersect and eventually violently knotOCoproducing a twisting climax that leaves some characters dead and others about to savor an astounding financial windfall. By turns violent and funny, A Self-Made Monster is one of the most unusual vampire novels ever published. It strips away the tired clich(r)s and purple prose of the vampire story and replaces them with dead-on characterizations, a galloping plot, and a new conception of the vampire itself. Boson Books also offers Flunky and Prelude to Hemlock by Steve Vivian. For an author bio and photo, reviews and a reading sample, visit bosonbooks.com."
Download or read book Underground Passages written by Jesse Cohn and published by AK Press. This book was released on 2015-01-26 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exhaustive study of the richly textured "resistance culture" anarchists create to sustain their ideals and identities amid everyday lives defined by capital and the state, a culture prefiguring a post-revolutionary world and allowing an escape from domination even while enmeshed in it. Whether discussing famous artists like Kenneth Rexroth, John Cage, and Diane DiPrima, or relatively unknown anarchist writers, Jesse Cohn clearly links aesthetic dynamics to political and economic ones. This is cultural criticism at its best. Jesse Cohn is the author of Anarchism and the Crisis of Representation: Hermeneutics, Aesthetics, Politics, and an associate professor of English at Purdue University North Central in Indiana.
