Book excerpt: “Niko’s race through Hell is one of the greatest supernatural adventure stories of recent memory. . . . A damned good story” (Cory Doctorow). Decades ago, a young rock and blues guitarist and junkie named Niko signed in blood on the dotted line and in return became the stuff of music legend. But when the love of his damned life grows mortally and mysteriously ill, he realizes he has lost more than he bargained for—and that was not part of the deal. So Niko sets out on a harrowing journey from the streets of Los Angeles through the downtown subway tunnels and across the red-lit plain of the most vividly realized hell since Dante to play the gig of his mortgaged life and win back the purloined soul of his lost love. Mortality Bridge remixes Orpheus, Dante, Faust, the Crossroads legend, and more in a beautiful, brutal, and surprisingly funny quest across a Hieronymus Bosch landscape of myth, music, and mayhem, and across an inner terrain of addiction, damnation, and redemption. Winner of the 2011 Emperor Norton Award for best novel by a San Francisco Bay Area writer.

Download or read book Difficult Death Dying and the Dead in Media and Culture written by Sharon Coleclough and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-11-25 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book responds to a growing interest in death, dying and the dead within and beyond the field of death studies. The collection defines an understanding of ‘difficult death’ and examines the differences between death, dying and the dead, as well as exploring the ethical challenges of researching death in mediated form. The collection is attendant to the ways in which difficult deaths are imbricated in power structures both before and after they become mediatised in culture. As such, the work navigates the many political and social complexities and inequalities – what might be deemed the difficulties – of death, dying and the dead. The book seeks to expand understandings of the difficulty of death in media and culture through a wide range of chapters from different contexts focused on literature, film, television, and in online environments, as well as several chapters examining news reportage of difficult deaths.

Download or read book Crossing the Caring Bridge written by Jan Briddell Stevens and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2018-06-15 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Making Friends with Death - A True Story Are you terrified of DEATH? Are you or a loved one facing terminal illness? Or perhaps you've already lost someone--and whether it was a long time in coming or a complete shock, it hurts. We will all meet Death at our appointed time, and when that happens, we may see him as a fearful monster. But if we get to know him first, we'll know how to handle his arrival. We may even discover that Death is not the fiend we imagined at all. Crossing the Caring Bridge offers a whole new perspective on Mr. Reaper that may prove to be a life-changing--or rather a DEATH-changing--experience! "I've seen death come. I've seen people who've lost everything to hurricanes. While I've also seen close friends confront cancer and death, I've never been there. I can only imagine the cancer fight as a whitewater rafting trip on the fiercest rapids--but without a raft (never mind the paddles!). If I'm ever in that river, I'll want a guide. Not just any guide. This guide. Jan Briddell Stevens has been there, seen it, felt it, wept over it, and more. Her engaging storytelling style entertains, informs, and challenges. But most importantly, because she is so authentic, it comforts. Nobody needs to navigate their rivers alone." --John Chickering, Storm Recovery Team Leader, UMCOR Early Response Team (Katrina, Irene, Sandy, Irma, Maria)

His Eminence Daniel Cardinal DiNardo, President of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops I found myself asking, Why wasnt a book of this scope and impact available until now?
