Foster care is like Russian roulette, says fifteen-year-old Ryan Kettering, who’s spent most of his young life in largely abusive homes. Sometimes the hammer clicks and you’re fine. Sometimes it’s a bullet to the brain. This time it seems the hammer has clicked. Living with the Prestons in a rambling two-story house in Shasta County, the chores are split between Ryan and five other foster kids. Not counting nine-year-old Maddy. Not much is expected of her. She stays in the basement. The other children don’t know much about Maddy. But what they do know, they don’t like. She’s just not right. She speaks in a strange, gravelly adult voice. Maybe Ryan can make a difference. Spend time with her. Get acquainted. He understands what it means to be lonely. That’s when he decides to do what no other child in the house dares: Ryan’s going down to the basement. From the author of Live Girls and The Loveliest Dead, a recipient of the World Horror Convention’s Grand Master Award, this is a chilling story of supernatural terror.
Download or read book The Unknown Basement written by Salomon H. Soria and published by Abbott Press. This book was released on 2020-09-22 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “With great courage and sure of his convictions, Salomon Soria offers in this autobiographical account the most important and painful episode of his life: that of his kidnapping and torture in the basement of the National Intelligence Service of Peru, where he was conducted against his will after leading, following higher orders, the police strike of May 1987 in the city of Huancayo, Perú. In this stark history we will know aspects of the harsh police reality the time in which the police participated in the fight against the terrorism war in the 80s and 90s, as well as the multiple needs of this police institution in those years and the reasons for its protest struggle; However, the most important thing is the traumatic and painful personal experience of an unjust kidnapping, Salomón Soria details step by step the arbitrary and illegal way in which he was treated physically and psychologically injuring him by putting him at the edge of mental alienation during the confinement that clearly constitutes a violation of human rights and state terrorism within the framework of the first government of former president Alan Garcia. The corollary of this traumatic experience was exile. For more than 30 years the author lives in the United States of America where he had to rebuild his life with his family without forgetting the iniquity of the dark characters that caused that serious incision in the normal course of its existence. This book is somehow a clamor for the right claim of a person who has tried to be disgraced and see their rights restored despite the distance and the years. Is it that the dignity of the human being remains firm when it is known that one acts with rectitude and integrity. You are invited to read this life story and know the reasonable demand of a man who will not rest until he finds justice from the Peruvian State”

Download or read book Devil in the Basement written by Charlotte Laws and published by Stroud House Publishing. This book was released on 2018-03-14 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The most bizarre set of tragic events ever to occur…” – Fairmont Times “Gritty… Fascinating.” – Robert Markowitz, New York Times essayist “Alone and bitter, [the killer] fabricated a horrible revenge—on the world and himself.” – The West Virginian “Charlotte Laws is a tsunami.” – Snatch Magazine Devil in the Basement reveals the shocking truth about my family. I learned about the murders, bombings, and devil worship when I visited my ancestors’ hometown of Fairmont, West Virginia. As a former private eye, I investigated what had happened and even ventured into the eerie basement where the satanic rituals had occurred. The story begins in 1928 when thousands of Ku Klux Klan members march through this sleepy town. My great uncle Jal’s passions were ignited that day, as were those of my grandfather Tucker, who changed his Italian name to “sound white” with hopes of escaping poverty and racism, and of becoming a U.S. Senator. Meanwhile, my great-grandmother set up a criminal enterprise in the back barn, and my great aunt was hauled off to an insane asylum before becoming the mistress of a Detroit mobster. But this story is not just about my family. It is also about their creepy neighbor Ernie, who had a ghoulish, life-sized doll. He abused his wives and dabbled in his favorite pastime: evil. He liked evil. He was creative when it came to evil. He was all about evil. Devil in the Basement is a story of love and horror, racism and hope, of Christian piety and satanic ritual. It is a book that shines a light on one of the most ghastly real life incidents in West Virginia history. It is a story you will never forget.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our hero, attending a Halloween party in an embarrassing pink bunny costume (he wanted to he a pirate) stumbles across a secret society of damaged, forgotten, and pissed-off toys in the basement of his friend's house--including the terrifying Amélie, not an adorable gamine played by Audrey Tautou --but a towering sentient assemblage of broken toy parts out for revenge!

Download or read book Margaret Lives in the Basement written by Michelle Berry and published by Somerville House, USA. This book was released on 1998 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Michelle Berry has one of the most darkly playful and unique voices in Canadian literature and her second collection of short stories, Margaret Lives in the Basement is no exception. At its heart are characters full of longing, trapped by circumstance and unable to reach out or connect with one another. Whether it's Margaret in the basement and her neighbours above, or two couples working out their family melodramas over dinner, there is always the presence of others but rarely a connection between them. By twists and turns Berry subverts what we know to be normal and arrives at something, though strange, more real than we like to admit.
