Book excerpt: Poor Alex. She thought she would have some fun, take a chance, maybe fool around a little. Instead she’s lying dead in her own blood, cut open like a slaughtered animal. But the worst is still to come. Her tender young flesh will soon be used in an unspeakable act, an unholy ritual that few sane people could even believe. Alex was not the first, nor will she be the last. Not as long as Vanessa is alive—and she plans to be alive forever. Vanessa’s unnatural life has become a search for victims, virgins to satisfy her body’s need for eternal youth.

Download or read book Borrowed Flesh written by Luis Blasini and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-10-19 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A lucid, shattering portrait of a life going down the tubes. Luis Blasini frankly reveals the exhilarating true story of restless years wandering south of the border in the slums of Mexico and across the United States from flop house to seedy hotel. Blasini brings out the junkies, hoodlums, prostitutes, sexual deviants, and thieves crawling in the back alleys of the world. Transcribed from the notebooks he kept while on the road and written in a distinct, hard boiled style, BORROWED FLESH composes a tough, yet funny narrative of his adventures with drugs, homelessness and lifeless romance. BORROWED FLESH is derisive, inventive, frankly homoerotic, comical, serious, poetic, and ineradicably American - a fast paced quirky work in which you are not permitted to laugh and yet, at times, will find yourself doing so.

Download or read book The Inhabitable Flesh of Architecture written by Marcos Cruz and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-03-02 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today’s architecture has failed the body with its long heritage of purity of form and aesthetic of cleanliness. A resurgence of interest in flesh, especially in art, has led to a politics of abjection, completely changing traditional aesthetics, and is now giving light to an alternative discussion about the body in architecture. This book is dedicated to a future vision of the body in architecture, questioning the contemporary relationship between our Human Flesh and the changing Architectural Flesh. Through the analysis and design of a variety of buildings and projects, Flesh is proposed as a concept that extends the meaning of skin, one of architecture’s most fundamental metaphors. It seeks to challenge a common misunderstanding of skin as a flat and thin surface. In a time when a pervasive discourse about the impact of digital technologies risks turning the architectural skin ever more disembodied, this book argues for a thick embodied flesh by exploring architectural interfaces that are truly inhabitable. Different concepts of Flesh are investigated, not only concerning the architectural and aesthetic, but also the biological aspects. The latter is materialised in form of Synthetic Neoplasms, which are proposed as new semi-living entities, rather than more commonly derived from scaled-up analogies between biological systems and larger scale architectural constructs. These ’neoplasmatic’ creations are identified as partly designed object and partly living material, in which the line between the natural and the artificial is progressively blurred. Hybrid technologies and interdisciplinary work methodologies are thus required, and lead to a revision of our current architectural practice.

Download or read book Lama Sabachthani written by Emeka Anonyou and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2013-06-20 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Afoot worldwide is the spiritual fallacy that God cannot be trusted. This most unfortunate lie was spawned centuries ago by the pseudo-biblical doctrine that the Almighty forsook his Son, Jesus, at Calvary. The false charge is that the sins of the world corrupted Jesus on the cross, rendering Him unworthy of His Fathers acceptance, and so God the Father abandoned Him. Otherwise, claim the accusers, why would Christ have cried out, My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Well-intentioned but misguided postmodernist Christian theologians and secular-humanist preachers teach this insidious fallacy to millions of unsuspecting believers. Trusting readers and congregants conclude that, if God forsook Jesus Christ, then surely he forsakes or will forsake mankind. When they experience bad things, they assume God has abandoned them. Where do you stand? Standing against the false charge, this book reveals and celebrates Gods True Nature without equivocation. It demonstrates unconditionally that the Almighty has never forsaken anybody, surely not Jesus, and never will. Yes, he favors the righteous, those who choose to believe in and follow Christ with all their hearts, who seek forgiveness for their sins, and who strive to live godly lives. That choice of Salvation is always available even to the unrighteous. Gods Love and Mercy are Unchanging. Consider the ancient Israelites. Perhaps no people have been more rebellious than they were against Gods commandments. Yet they continue to experience an abundance of Gods Loving Kindness. He loves the Jewish people, and all people, with the love of the mother wolf. The nation of Israel is an illustration of His Unconditional Love for alleven the prodigal son. We may forsake God, but God will never forsake us. This is not a conventional book but a coarse mosaic of words, phrases, passages, and paragraphstiles echoing the Voice of Adonai speaking within me and my dear wife, Connie, some by way of the Holy Scriptures, some by
