Download or read book Morbid Stories written by Tarl Warwick and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-06-11 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Morbid Stories" is calculated to be the most grueling ride through terror and evil ever concocted by the hands of mankind. Utterly depraved, mindless, filled with degeneracy and a hopelessness and resignation to torment that only true lunatics can fully appreciate. This second edition has been re-edited once more, to remove all remaining traces of errors and provide the reader with an even more satisfying look into madness and the halls of perdition itself. From the Satanic to the simply violent, from the perverted and deranged to to macabre, "Morbid Stories" offers not one story but a whole compendium of short writings, each designed to evoke a different feeling, with all feelings evoked remaining starkly negative and designed to fill the reader with disgust. In this endeavor, something more insane than splatterpunk has been designed.

Download or read book Paul Rusch in Postwar Japan written by Andrew T. McDonald and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2018-12-07 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paul Rusch first traveled from Louisville, Kentucky, to Tokyo in 1925 to help rebuild YMCA facilities in the wake of the Great Kanto earthquake. What was planned as a yearlong stay became his life's work as he joined with the Japan Episcopal Church to promote democracy and Western Christian ideals. Over the course of his remarkable life, Rusch served as a college professor and Episcopal missionary, and he was a catalyst for agricultural development, introducing dairy farming to highland Japan. In Paul Rusch in Postwar Japan, Andrew T. McDonald and Verlaine Stoner McDonald present Rusch's life as an epic story that crisscrosses two cultures, traversing war and peace, destruction and rebirth, private struggle and public triumph. As World War II approached, Rusch battled racial prejudice against Japanese Americans, yet also became an apologist for Japan's expansionist foreign policy. After Pearl Harbor, he was arrested as an enemy alien and witnessed the Doolittle Raid on Tokyo. Upon his release to the US in 1942, he joined military intelligence and returned to Japan in that capacity during the US occupation. Though Rusch was of modest origins, he deftly climbed social and military ladders to befriend some of the most intriguing figures of the era, including prime ministers and members of the Japanese royal family. Though he is perhaps best remembered for introducing organized American football in Japan, his greatest legacy is the founding of the Kiyosato Educational Experiment Project (KEEP), a vehicle for feeding, educating, and uplifting the rural poor of highland Japan. Today his legacy continues to inspire KEEP in the twenty-first century to promote peace, cultural exchange, environmental sustainability, and ecological preservation in Japan and beyond.

Download or read book Death Metal Music written by Natalie J. Purcell and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-09-17 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Death Metal is among the most despised forms of violently themed entertainment. Many politicians, conservative groups and typical Americans attribute youth violence and the destruction of social values to such entertainment. The usual assumptions about the Death Metal scene and its fans have rarely been challenged. This book investigates the demographic trends, attitudes, philosophical beliefs, ethical systems, and behavioral patterns within the scene, seeking to situate death metal in the larger social order. The Death Metal community proves to be a useful microcosm for much of American subculture and lends insight into the psychological and social functions of many forbidden or illicit entertainment forms. The author's analysis, rich in interviews with rock stars, radio hosts, and average adolescent fans, provides a key to comprehending deviant tendencies in modern American culture.
