Download or read book Heliophobia written by Saba Syed Razvi and published by . This book was released on 2017-09 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: heliophobia, a collection of poems, opens with a Nereid on the verge of death, closes somewhere between the orgiastic rapture of a rave and an ecstatic experience of midnight meditation, and pivots on conflicting cultural perspectives - one embracing in revelry the tangible darkness of the night and the other racing in fear from beneath its shadow toward the light. The book provides a space in which culture, myth, and archetype can reconfigure their manifestations, allowing Goya, Houdini, Kali, Anais Nin, Pessoa, Emily Dickinson, Freud and the Mad Hatter and others to cast their selves throughout the moving circles in a shadowy cast of characters across time and continents. As the poems make their way through dream images, ideologies, and reinventions, the foremost question becomes that of the center and where it is, whether it can be reached, or if it even is. A resulting whirl propels the reader through goth-rock refrains and mantric prayers, incantations and phantom confessions, into an underground freefall exploring the textures of shadow and the consequences of light.

Many people suffer with phobias related to Earth's wonders, such as astraphobia, which is the fear of thunder and lightning.

Through vivid descriptions of what a person goes through when they fear waves, bright light, shadows, and other natural phenomena, inquisitive readers investigate how fear has evolved over time. Sidebars and vibrant photographs highlight each phobia.

Download or read book A Field Guide to Demons Fairies Fallen Angels and Other Subversive Spirits written by Carol K. Mack and published by Arcade Publishing. This book was released on 1998 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Macks divert our gaze from our contemporary red-faced, cloven-hoofed misrepresentation of demons to remind us of the ancient roles demons were originally assigned to play. From the Tommyknockers of North American mountain mines to the South African Mbulu that waits in the river for lone travelers, A Field Guide to Demons classifies these creatures by their domains--water, mountain, forest--rather than in alphabetical or cultural order, dishing out antique and contemporary lore on these most misunderstood of spirits. A Field Guide to Demons melds folklore and mythology; maintains a surprisingly evenhanded view of demons; and reveals their role as the necessary challenger to established order, the antagonist--without which there could be no hero--and the darkness through which goodness shines brightest. --Brian Patterson
