Download or read book Pumpkin written by Cindy Ott and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2012-12-01 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do so many Americans drive for miles each autumn to buy a vegetable that they are unlikely to eat? While most people around the world eat pumpkin throughout the year, North Americans reserve it for holiday pies and other desserts that celebrate the harvest season and the rural past. They decorate their houses with pumpkins every autumn and welcome Halloween trick-or-treaters with elaborately carved jack-o'-lanterns. Towns hold annual pumpkin festivals featuring giant pumpkins and carving contests, even though few have any historic ties to the crop. In this fascinating cultural and natural history, Cindy Ott tells the story of the pumpkin. Beginning with the myth of the first Thanksgiving, she shows how Americans have used the pumpkin to fulfull their desire to maintain connections to nature and to the family farm of lore, and, ironically, how small farms and rural communities have been revitalized in the process. And while the pumpkin has inspired American myths and traditions, the pumpkin itself has changed because of the ways people have perceived, valued, and used it. Pumpkin is a smart and lively study of the deep meanings hidden in common things and their power to make profound changes in the world around us.

Download or read book Strange Highways written by Dean Koontz and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One wrong turn changes everything... Strange Highways is a brilliant collection of dark and suspense-filled short stories from the international bestselling author Dean Koontz. Perfect for fans of Stephen King and Richard Laymon. One rain-swept Sunday night when he was twenty years old, on his way back to college after a weekend with his family, Joey Shannon took the wrong highway - and from that moment, nothing ever went right for him again. Now, exactly twenty years later, on another rain-swept night, Joey finds himself at the same crossroads, looking down the road never taken. Which is odd. Because that road no longer exists. A superhighway replaced it nearly twenty years ago, and the old state route - which had crossed a web of perpetually burning, abandoned coal mines - was condemned as too dangerous and was torn up. But now the highway is exactly as it was on that long-ago night, and when Joey turns on to it, he begins an eerie, terrifying journey toward a truth so dark and stunning that it will change everything he believes about himself, his past, and the nature of life... The first of thirteen short stories sets the pace for a thrilling read. What readers are saying about Strange Highways: 'One of the most thought provoking, terrifying yet enjoyable books I have ever read' 'Each story is as compelling and equally disturbing as the next' 'Great stories from when Dean Koontz was at the peak of his powers. There's suspense, horror, and a great atmosphere of something nasty lurking in the cubby holes of your mind'

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Miller family was all smiles as they drove down the winding dirt road that led to their pumpkin patch. It was Halloween day, and the crisp autumn air was filled with the promise of fun, costumes, and candy. This year, they'd decided to take a different approach to their Halloween festivities. Instead of just buying pumpkins from the local market, they'd planted their own patch on their farm. "I can't believe we actually did this," Susan Miller exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "This is going to be the best Halloween ever!" Her husband, Jake, chuckled. "I'm just hoping we don't end up with a bunch of tiny, misshapen pumpkins." As they pulled into the driveway, Susan's eyes widened. "Oh my gosh, look at them! They're huge!" The pumpkins were indeed impressive. They were a deep orange hue, with smooth, unblemished skins. As they walked through the patch, Susan and Jake couldn't help but feel a sense of pride. They'd worked hard to cultivate these pumpkins, and it was rewarding to see them thriving. Little did they know, their joy was about to be shattered. That night, as they were preparing to carve their pumpkins, they heard a strange noise coming from the patch. It was a low, guttural growl that seemed to come from deep underground. Jake grabbed a flashlight and ventured out to investigate. As he approached the patch, the growling intensified. He shone the flashlight around, but there was nothing to be seen. Just as he was about to give up, he noticed a small mound of dirt that had been disturbed. He knelt down and began to dig. To his horror, he uncovered a wooden coffin. It was old and weathered, and the lid was slightly ajar. Inside, he saw the skeletal remains of a man. A chill ran down his spine as he realized that he had disturbed a grave. Jake scrambled back to the house and told Susan what he had found. She was terrified, but she also felt a sense of guilt. They had planted their pumpkin patch on top of a grave, and now they were being haunted by the spirit of the deceased. That night, strange things began to happen. The pumpkins would mysteriously disappear, only to reappear the next morning with strange, carved symbols on their skins. The Miller family heard eerie whispers in the night, and they felt a cold draft that seemed to come from nowhere. As Halloween approached, the haunting grew more intense. The Millers were terrified, but they knew they couldn't simply abandon their home. They had to confront the phantom and find a way to make peace with it. One night, as they were sitting by the fireplace, they heard a knock on the door. When they opened it, they found a tall, shadowy figure standing on the porch. It was the phantom. "You have disturbed my peace," the phantom's voice echoed through the house. "You have desecrated my grave." Susan and Jake felt a wave of fear wash over them. They knew they had done wrong, and they were prepared to face the consequences. "We're sorry," Susan whispered. "We didn't know." "You must leave," the phantom said. "Leave this place and never return." The Millers knew they had no choice. They packed their belongings and left the farm that night. As they drove away, they looked back at the pumpkin patch. The pumpkins were still there, but they seemed to be glowing with an eerie, otherworldly light. The phantom of the pumpkin patch had claimed its victims, and the Miller family would never forget the terrifying Halloween they had spent in that haunted place. But the story didn't end there. As the Millers drove away from their farm, they felt a strange pull, an inexplicable urge to turn back. It was as if invisible tendrils were reaching out from the pumpkin patch, wrapping around their minds and tugging them back towards the horror they had just escaped. Jake gripped the steering wheel tighter, his knuckles turning white. "We can't go back," he muttered, more to himself than to Susan. "We can't." Susan nodded, her face pale in the dim light of the dashboard. "I know, but... I can't shake this feeling. It's like we've left something behind."

Download or read book The Secret Hours written by Mick Herron and published by Soho Press. This book was released on 2023-09-12 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A gripping standalone spy thriller from the #1 Sunday Times bestselling author of Slow Horses, with a riveting reveal about a disastrous MI5 mission in Cold War Berlin—an absolute must-read for Slough House fans. New from the author of Slow Horses, now an Apple Original series from Apple TV+, starring Gary Oldman and Kristin Scott Thomas. Two years ago, a hostile Prime Minister launched the Monochrome inquiry, investigating "historical over-reaching" by the British Secret Service. Monochrome’s mission was to ferret out any hint of misconduct by any MI5 officer—and allowed Griselda Fleet and Malcolm Kyle, the two civil servants seconded to the project, unfettered access to any and all confidential information in the Service archives in order to do so. But MI5’s formidable First Desk did not become Britain’s top spy by accident, and she has successfully thwarted the inquiry at every turn. Now the administration that created Monochrome has been ousted, the investigation is a total bust—and Griselda and Malcolm are stuck watching as their career prospects are washed away by the pounding London rain. Until the eve of Monochrome’s shuttering, when an MI5 case file appears without explanation. It is the buried history of a classified operation in 1994 Berlin—an operation that ended in tragedy and scandal, whose cover-up has rewritten thirty years of Service history. The Secret Hours is a dazzling entry point into Mick Herron’s body of work, a standalone spy thriller that is at once unnerving, poignant, and laugh-out-loud funny. It is also the breathtaking secret history that Slough House fans have been waiting for.
