Book excerpt: "Like smoke off a collision between Dennis Cooper's George Miles Cycle and Beyond The Black Rainbow, absorbing the energy of mind control, reincarnation, parallel universes, altered states, school shootings, obsession, suicidal ideation, and so much else, B.R. Yeager's multi-valent voicing of drugged up, occult youth reveals fresh tunnels into the gray space between the body and the spirit, the living and the dead, providing a well-aimed shot in the arm for the world of conceptual contemporary horror." -Blake Butler, author of Three Hundred Million "Ever wonder where teenage children go at night? Perhaps it's best not knowing the answer. There's something amiss in Kinsfield, a drab, boring city much like your own, except for the teenage suicide epidemic, stagnant, ineffectual parents, cultish behavior that borders on psychosis, and strings, strings everywhere. B.R. Yeager's Negative Space is a hypnotic collage of message boards, memes, and ruined bodies twisting at the end of a rope. Most modern novels have lost all concept of magic. B.R. Yeager's Negative Space is a stunning refutation of the quotidian." -James Nulick, author of Haunted Girlfriend & Valencia

Download or read book How to Become an Angel for Turtles written by Arthur Andrew Longley and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2019-06-11 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is exciting, and it shows the New Age generation exactly what is going on in our realm today. It shows us how to combat the things that are just tearing us down in our daily lives without us even really noticing it. This book will show you how to persevere—not with miraculous signs and wonders, but with down-to-earth methods that are backed by age-old concepts, like the Constitution and the reason our preachers only preach the gospel. It reveals newly discovered secrets, well-defined and plainly written. To the end that it allows God and his Christ to be with us more than ever before. We’ve all got a little weak spot in us that we’ve got to work on within ourselves, because it’s written. Our role wouldn’t be as the rulers of this world. When people say they’re not going to heaven. Try this: “I’m not ready to go to heaven yet.” We have a lot that we may lose, but one thing we won’t lose is our hope. I’m not trying to block anything that’s in existence. I’m trying to provide a means to a better end result so that people can find their way into a more productive faith. By showing forth things right, like these, you could wind up being a real angel. This one girl told me that I don’t really believe in anything. When I was young, I went to church because my parents made me. I couldn’t understand the preacher because he spoke Polish, and I could never understand the Bible. I told her I couldn’t understand my preacher either. But I read the story in the Bible about the man who died on the cross, and it made me want to help him. People who don’t do the gospel, they’re saying “I don’t have to” or “I don’t want to.” What they’re falling into is spiritual death. That’s a faith that’s not living or growing. When talking to them sometimes, you see they’re on cloud nine, not in reality, doing everything and nothing. What this reminds me of is the prodigal son spending all his money on whores. He wasn’t doing the gospel and saving his treasure up in heaven where his heart ought to be. I don’t see what all the contention is about? If they’re saved into life eternal, it’s going to be by those who do the gospel of our Lord, Jesus Christ, slain from the foundation of the world. You know there is only one right way to do it. So get yourself a bag that grows not old and let’s see how you do out there. Have mercy on the poor. Temper your faith. Carry on. Doing the gospel shows the Bible is to be mainly used for defense of the children of the cross. People are thinking that the poor or homeless people aren’t Christ-like. But because that sort of suffering is a cross, it makes them Christ-like. That’s also what the church shows. How the preachers don’t accuse any but defend by saying you are forgiven by the Godhead. It says in the Bible God adds glory to the parts that have none. That’s what he’s doing by defending the poor—basically saying they’re loved. When anybody says anything, and I have to reply, I give respect to him who has the right: Jesus. Know that being human is the first quality of being Christ-like. But also, for the animals, they are living breathing beings. If that’s not Christ-like, I don’t know what is. Following these guides, you will be tempering yourself into right actions. What does being self-righteous have to do with love? Guiding people to what’s right in a loving way gives you soul. It builds your soul to be of love. That’s not self-righteous; it’s not parental. It’s loving. Those demons and devils have been practicing their evil for like 150 million years. If you don’t think you’re going to have to study and do works accordingly to beat them, you’re wrong. The thing that makes mass assembly generate low prices and large volume is simplicity. When I see everybody just sitting around and complicating everything, I know exactly what’s going on.

Download or read book Shell Shocked written by Howard Kaylan and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2013-03-01 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (Book). If Howard Kaylan had sung only one song, the Turtles' 1967 No. 1 smash hit "Happy Together," his place in rock-and-roll history would still be secure. But that recording, named in 1999 by BMI as one of the top 50 songs of the 20th century, with over five million radio plays, is only the tip of a rather eye-opening iceberg. For nearly five decades, Howard Kaylan has been a player in the rock-and-roll revolution. In addition to his years with the Turtles, Kaylan was a core member of Frank Zappa's Mothers of Invention and the dynamic duo Flo and Eddie, and part of glam rock history with Marc Bolan and T. Rex. He's also given street cred and harmonies to everyone from John Lennon, Bruce Springsteen and Alice Cooper to the Ramones and Duran Duran, to name just a few. Howard Kaylan's life has been a dangerous ride that he is only too happy to report on, naming names and shedding shocking tales of sex, drugs, and creative excess. Shell Shocked will stand alone as not only one of the best-told music-biz memoirs, but one with a truly candid and unmatchable story of rock-and-roll insanity and success from a man who glories in it all.

Download or read book Grand Hotel Europa written by Ilja Leonard Pfeijffer and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2022-06-14 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Longlisted for the 2023 DUBLIN Literary Award "[Grand Hotel Europa] calls to mind Nabokov, Tom Wolfe, Baudrillard, Umberto Eco, Wes Anderson . . . [a novel of] incorrigible high spirits." —Rand Richards Cooper, The New York Times Book Review A sweeping, atmospheric novel about European identity, centered on a hotel that encapsulates the continent's manifold contradictions. The love of my life lives in my past. Despite the alliteration it’s a terrible line to have to write. I don’t want to come to the conclusion, just as the hotel I’m staying in and the continent it is named after, that the best times are behind me and that I’ve little more to expect of the future than living off my past. A writer takes up residence in the stately but decaying Grand Hotel Europa in order to contemplate where things went wrong with Clio—an art historian and the love of his life. His recollections take him back to when they first met in Genoa, his wanton visits to her in Venice, and their dulcet trips to Malta, Palmaria, Portovenere, and the Cinque Terre in their thrilling search for the last painting made by Caravaggio. Meanwhile, he becomes fascinated by the mysteries of the Grand Hotel Europa and the memorably eccentric characters who inhabit it, all of whom seem to hail from a halcyon era. All the while, globalization is laying claim to even this place, where a sense of lost glory hangs sulkily in the air. Grand Hotel Europa is Ilja Leonard Pfeijffer’s masterly novel of the old continent, where there's so much history that there hardly seems space left for a future. Cinematic, lyrical, and brimming with humor, this is a novel about the European condition, which like the staff and residents of the Grand Hotel Europa may have already seen its best days.

Download or read book A Stolen Life written by Jaycee Dugard and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2011-07-12 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A raw and powerful memoir of Jaycee Lee Dugard's own story of being kidnapped as an 11-year-old and held captive for over 18 years On 10 June 1991, eleven-year-old Jaycee Dugard was abducted from a school bus stop within sight of her home in Tahoe, California. It was the last her family and friends saw of her for over eighteen years. On 26 August 2009, Dugard, her daughters, and Phillip Craig Garrido appeared in the office of her kidnapper's parole officer in California. Their unusual behaviour sparked an investigation that led to the positive identification of Jaycee Lee Dugard, living in a tent behind Garrido's home. During her time in captivity, at the age of fourteen and seventeen, she gave birth to two daughters, both fathered by Garrido. Dugard's memoir is written by the 30-year-old herself and covers the period from the time of her abduction in 1991 up until the present. In her stark, utterly honest and unflinching narrative, Jaycee opens up about what she experienced, including how she feels now, a year after being found. Garrido and his wife Nancy have since pleaded guilty to their crimes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learn to communicate with your dog—using their language “Good reading for dog lovers and an immensely useful manual for dog owners.”—The Washington Post An Applied Animal Behaviorist and dog trainer with more than twenty years’ experience, Dr. Patricia McConnell reveals a revolutionary new perspective on our relationship with dogs—sharing insights on how “man’s best friend” might interpret our behavior, as well as essential advice on how to interact with our four-legged friends in ways that bring out the best in them. After all, humans and dogs are two entirely different species, each shaped by its individual evolutionary heritage. Quite simply, humans are primates and dogs are canids (as are wolves, coyotes, and foxes). Since we each speak a different native tongue, a lot gets lost in the translation. This marvelous guide demonstrates how even the slightest changes in our voices and in the ways we stand can help dogs understand what we want. Inside you will discover: • How you can get your dog to come when called by acting less like a primate and more like a dog • Why the advice to “get dominance” over your dog can cause problems • Why “rough and tumble primate play” can lead to trouble—and how to play with your dog in ways that are fun and keep him out of mischief • How dogs and humans share personality types—and why most dogs want to live with benevolent leaders rather than “alpha wanna-bes!” Fascinating, insightful, and compelling, The Other End of the Leash is a book that strives to help you connect with your dog in a completely new way—so as to enrich that most rewarding of relationships.

Download or read book Foe written by Iain Reid and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2018-09-04 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: *Now a major motion picture starring Saoirse Ronan and Paul Mescal* A taut, psychological thriller from Iain Reid, “one of the most talented purveyors of weird, dark narratives in contemporary fiction” (Los Angeles Review of Books). Severe climate change has ravaged the country, leaving behind a charred wasteland. Junior and Henrietta live a comfortable if solitary life on one of the last remaining farms. Their private existence is disturbed the day a stranger comes to the door with alarming news. Junior has been randomly selected to travel far away from the farm, but the most unusual part is that arrangements have already been made so that when he leaves, Henrietta won’t have a chance to miss him. She won’t be left alone—not even for a moment. Henrietta will have company. Familiar company. Told in Iain Reid’s sparse, biting style, Foe is a “mind-bending and genre-defying work of genius” (Liz Nugent, author of Unraveling Oliver) that will stay with you long after you turn the final page.
