Download or read book Murder Ballads Old and New written by Steven L Jones and published by Feral House. This book was released on 2023-09-12 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Murder Ballads Old & New: A Dark and Bloody Record is an exploration of an age-old topic— our human need to document the horrors of the world around us. The murder ballad, here expanded to include songs about traumatic loss in modern variants and multiple styles, including punk, post-punk, alt-country, and folk. The book is a graveyard stroll past tombs both well-kept and half-hidden. Murder Ballads Old & New excavates facts about killers, victims, and the folkloric storytellers who disseminated their tales in song. Author Steven L. Jones focuses the tragic ballad as “an act of remembering and a soul-reckoning with the ineffable.” Songs examined range from obscure tunes from the founding days of the United States to familiar canonical songs learned in schoolrooms and honkytonks. Jones tackles each song in a manner that’s equal parts musicological, psychosocial, and genealogical as he uncovers stories that reveal larger contexts and maps the lineages of songs and themes, forebears, and ancestors. Murder Ballads Old & New includes a wide range of songs and performers from the relatively unknown (Boiled in Lead, Freakons, Nelstone’s Hawaiians) to the ironically famous (Johnny Cash, Lou Reed, Sonic Youth). Highlights include tales of Muddy Waters guitar sideman Pat Hare, whose incendiary blues boast “I’m Gonna Murder My Baby” proved grimly prophetic. And honky-tonk pioneer Eddie Noack, whose morbid stab at late-career rebirth, “Psycho,” couldn’t match the bottomless tragedy of his own life. As well as Depression-era holdup man Pretty Boy Floyd, Schubert’s mythical Erlkönig, and the Manson Family. Murder Ballads Old & New is a compelling delve into the perennial American fascination with True Crime. Includes archival and historical black & white images.

Download or read book No Place Like Murder written by Janis Thornton and published by Quarry Books. This book was released on 2020-09-29 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A modern retelling of 20 sensational true crimes, No Place Like Murder reveals the inside details behind nefarious acts that shocked the Midwest between 1869 and 1950. The stories chronicle the misdeeds, examining the perpetrators' mindsets, motives, lives, apprehensions, and trials, as well as what became of them long after. True crime author Janis Thornton profiles notorious murderers such as Frankie Miller, who was fed up when her fiancé stood her up for another woman. As fans of the song "Frankie and Johnny" already know, Frankie met her former lover at the door with a shotgun. Thornton's tales reveal the darker side of life in the Midwest, including the account of Isabelle Messmer, a plucky young woman who dreamed of escaping her quiet farm-town life. After she nearly took down two tough Pittsburgh policemen in 1933, she was dubbed "Gun Girl" and went on to make headlines from coast to coast. In 1942, however, after a murder conviction in Texas, she vowed to do her time and go straight. Full of intrigue and revelations, No Place Like Murder also features such folks as Chirka and Rasico, the first two Hoosier men to die in the electric chair after they brutally murdered their wives in 1913. The two didn't meet until their fateful last night. An enthralling and chilling collection, No Place Like Murder is sure to thrill true crime lovers.
Download or read book Forerunners written by Gus Leodas and published by Gus Leodas. This book was released on 2015-08-10 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "If you don't believe in miracles, you will after you read this modern day novel." Forerunners is timely in today's world events with the increased focus on religion and terrorism in the Middle East and elsewhere, and is based on the Second Coming prophesies in the Bible, referencing Matthew, Mark, and The Revelation to John. All the major religions expect a messiah, or a son, or a messenger, or an avatar, or some bodily manifestation of God. Included are a United States ambassador, a priest, a psychic, an Olympic champion, and the temptress Pandora. By a series of mysterious Biblical events, the ambassador and priest learn of the arrival of the Anti-Christ forerunner. Bible prophesies say that disruption in natural disasters, international economic recessions, terrorism of religious men and women who serve God, and destruction of religious institutions are preludes to the coming of the Anti-Christ. All are happening today. The ambassador and priest's search to find that forerunner and the forerunner for Christ takes them to Turkey, Greece, India, Japan, Washington, Los Angeles and to the United Nations where the ambassador gives a stirring speech on peace after they expose the Anti-Christ forerunner in New Delhi, India at a meeting of all the world's religions.

Download or read book Exile and Embrace written by Anthony Santoro and published by UPNE. This book was released on 2013-07-09 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With passion and precision, Exile and Embrace examines the key elements of the religious debates over capital punishment and shows how they reflect the values and self-understandings of contemporary Americans. Santoro demonstrates that capital punishment has relatively little to do with the perpetrators and much more to do with those who would impose the punishment. Because of this, he convincingly argues, we should focus our attention not on the perpetrators and victims, as is typically the case in debates pro and con about the death penalty, but on ourselves and on the mechanisms that we use to impose or oppose the death penalty. An important book that will appeal to those involved in the death penalty debate and to general religious studies and American studies scholars, as well.
Download or read book Talking with Serial Killers Sleeping with Psychopaths written by Christopher Berry-Dee and published by John Blake. This book was released on 2022-01-06 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bestselling writer and criminologist Christopher Berry-Dee turns his attention to a new kind of victim: the wives or partners of serial murderers who remained unaware of exactly who they had fallen for until after their other half's arrest or, in some cases, conviction, for multiple murders. Sonia Sutcliffe first discovered that her husband, Peter, was leading a secret existence as 'the Yorkshire Ripper' only when he was arrested. The wife of the 'Hillside Strangler' only learned of her husband's crimes when state police smashed down her door in search of him. On finding out the truth, these innocents often experience a strange kind of guilt for not having recognised the killer in their home, as well as having to face the grim reality of betrayal and deceit. Christopher Berry-Dee speaks directly to killers and their oblivious loved ones to get inside the minds of the men and women who fall for murderers.
