Download or read book Diary of a Lonely Demon written by Jon David and published by BHC Press. This book was released on 2023-02-21 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dear Diary, For two years, I’ve been checking out a town on Earth. I know this one town is only scratching the surface of the planet. There is one curious ritual that I learned, and it’s called “dating.” Demons don’t “date.” It’s pointless to them, seeing as how they don’t believe in love or companionship. I don’t know why humans date either. I’ve seen them, and I can tell they have ulterior motives. There’s something weird about this human. He’s not a wizard, and yet he’s able to block my abilities somehow. He’s worthy of further…study. It’s just curiosity; that’s all it is, I’m sure. Sunshine, chocolate, puppies. These aren’t the typical words found in most demon vocabularies. But then again, Morgalla isn’t your typical demon. She has a good heart and a terrible secret: she doesn’t like being a demon. Worse, her father is one of the lead demons in Hell and he expects her to follow in his footsteps and wreak havoc on Earth. During one of her many visits to Earth disguised as a human, she meets Jasper. He’s kind and sweet and unlike anyone she’s ever met before. Does she dare show her true self? Is it possible that a demon could find love? Despite the many challenges standing in her way, when trouble begins to brew between Earth and Hell, Morgalla must decide: Which side is she on?

It follows Nogima, the protagonist, who embarks on a perilous investigation after receiving a cryptic message from his late friend. This message points to a remote island where strange and gruesome events unfold. On the island, Nogima encounters twisted individuals, including Kagemasa Madara, a physically deformed man whose cruel actions embody the concept of human evil. The "demon" in the story symbolizes not supernatural forces but the darkness lurking within human nature, exacerbated by isolation and suffering. The novel explores themes of isolation, psychological decay, and the thin line between sanity and madness, challenging the reader to reflect on the nature of evil. With its eerie atmosphere and intricate plot, "The Demon of the Lonely Isle" remains one of Edogawa Ranpo’s most notable works in Japanese detective and horror fiction.

Download or read book Emotional Exorcism written by Holly A. Hunt Ph.D. and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2009-06-30 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emotional Exorcism: Expelling the Four Psychological Demons That Make Us Backslide offers a powerful, research-grounded model and tools to help us overcome our problems without beating up on ourselves for backsliding to negative habits. Dr. Holly Hunt's groundbreaking work, Emotional Exorcism, offers all those in emotional distress a new way to face one's demons and banish them once and for all. For anyone unable to pull themselves out of sadness, anxiety, anger, or addictive behaviors, it is a potent and practical strategy for expelling psychological demons and stopping the feeling of failure. Drawing on years of experience in private practice with clients of all backgrounds, Dr. Hunt shows how earlier life experiences can create a core of negative belief she calls the "Master Demon," as well as self-sabotaging thoughts and behavior patterns called the "Four Soldier Demons." These generate emotional negativity within us, providing a power source for the demons. Dr. Hunt then provides a practical, user-friendly, research-grounded model to change those self-sabotaging thoughts, behaviors, and feelings without the self-defeating burden of battling ourselves. Through a variety of tools, she empowers readers to separate from, stop feeding, and effectively exorcize our psychological demons.
Download or read book The Extraordinary Work of Ordinary Writing written by Jennifer Sinor and published by University of Iowa Press. This book was released on 2002-11-13 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Krutch’s trenchant observations about life prospering in the hostile environment of Arizona’s Sonoran Desert turn to weighty questions about humanity and the precariousness of our existence, putting lie to Western denials of mind in the “lower” forms of life: “Let us not say that this animal or even this plant has ‘become adapted’ to desert conditions. Let us say rather that they have all shown courage and ingenuity in making the best of the world as they found it. And let us remember that if to use such terms in connection with them is a fallacy then it can only be somewhat less a fallacy to use the same terms in connection with ourselves.”
Download or read book God the Devil and Me written by Valerie Georgeson and published by John Hunt Publishing. This book was released on 2022-02-25 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A chronicle of lived experience, this astonishing book is a biographical exposé, its ultimate theme the great battle of the last days, the final war between God and the Devil. Drawing on her journals, Valerie tells how, at the height of a successful career as writer and actress, she suddenly disappeared. An innocent seeker of God, unaware of the pitfalls, or the unrelenting opposition of the devil, Valerie had strayed into an Indian sect where its female guru, learning of her vocation to ‘write a book for God’, feared her as a potential whistleblower. Vowing to 'stop Valerie writing', she attacks her with magic and occult powers. Now, the writing of the book itself becomes the battlefield. Converted to Catholicism and escaped to France, Valerie is helped by an exorcist. And God, giving her the added vocation to pray for souls lost in sects, comes to her in the Eucharist, fighting alongside, granting moments lifted into bliss and finally breaking the bondage. Thirty years on, the past erased, experience with Valerie the inside story.

Download or read book Pluton s Pyre written by Gyandeep Kaushal and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-11-18 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Suraj is a boy in love. He has lost his mother, has a father who is on-and-off concerned with his future, and an adoring grandfather. Circumstances force him to change schools and he fails to find the bonhomie he enjoyed in his last one. His affections are spurned by a girl in the new school-as boys will in the course of their young lives-but he takes the rejection to heart. A little older, Suraj falls in love again, and this time has reason to believe that his passion is returned. Then he his heartlessly turned away again. His humiliation, he believes, is complete. Urged by his never-say-die grandfather, he agrees to an arranged marriage. His bride is a sweet-natured thing, and caring of him and their daughter, and for a while, their lives are smooth and predictable. So predictable that when Suraj discovers what he thought was his blameless wife in a clandestine meeting with her lover, his world collapses in wild anger around him. Robbed of self-belief and pride, and aflame with a lust to reassert his power over women, he carefully hunts out the first of his persecutors and cruelly rapes her. Finding himself grappled by the forces of the law, he is condemned to be hanged to death-a fate he agrees befits the 'losers' of the world. Authors Gyandeep Kaushal and Nitin Kulkarni present a tale simply told, but which underscores the question that has plagued bio-genetics over the years: Is a rapist born, or shaped by events around him? Is there anything, in short, as a 'rape gene'? The jury is out on that one, and the writers circumspectly leave them where they are.
Download or read book The First Modern Japanese written by Donald Keene and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2016-09-27 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many books in Japanese have been devoted to the poet and critic Ishikawa Takuboku (1886–1912). Although he died at the age of twenty-six and wrote many of his best-known poems in the space of a few years, his name is familiar to every literate Japanese. Takuboku's early death added to the sad romance of the unhappy poet, but there has been no satisfactory biography of his life or career, even in Japanese, and only a small part of his writings have been translated. His mature poetry was based on the work of no predecessor, and he left no disciples. Takuboku stands unique. Takuboku's most popular poems, especially those with a humorous overlay, are often read and memorized, but his diaries and letters, though less familiar, contain rich and vivid glimpses of the poet's thoughts and experiences. They reflect the outlook of an unconstrained man who at times behaved in a startling or even shocking manner. Despite his misdemeanors, Takuboku is regarded as a national poet, all but a saint to his admirers, especially in the regions of Japan where he lived. His refusal to conform to the Japan of the time drove him in striking directions and ranked him as the first poet of the new Japan.
