Book excerpt: For many years, a whole slew of weird monsters have crawled out of the cracks in the Ohio River Basin. In 1955, and then again in 1972, strange creatures crawled from the water onto the banks of the Little Miami River at Loveland, Ohio. Based on witness descriptions, those creatures became known as the Loveland Frogmen. Were they amphibians, reptiles, or extraterrestrials? No one knows to this day. In this book, the author ventures from Frogmen to Melon Heads as he explores the legend of some creepy critters that dwell in the forests of Northern Ohio, on up into Michigan, and in the New England State of Connecticut. Were they escapees from a mental asylum, victims of an unfortunate medical condition, or the product of ghastly experiments carried out by a man that called himself a doctor?

Book excerpt: During the 1990s, the rural town of Cape Cove, Indiana, is the average heartland community with a small industrial area and a good portion of farmland surrounding the town proper. It’s a quiet place, populated by friendly neighbors who know each other and each other’s business. People in this small town have a way of finding their own enjoyment, and it’s usually on “the up and up.” The peace can’t last forever, though. A few kids unsatisfied with the boring diversions of Cape Cove deviate from the everyday and discover that their quaint little town hides its fair share of dark secrets. Very few had an inkling of this until the summer of 1997 when a mysterious book called the Liber Malificous arrives in town and shines light on secrets that should have remained hidden. For fans of Harry Potter and Stranger Things, follow a close-knit group of friends as they encounter characters from fantasy and horror in small-town Indiana ... and nobody has a cell phone.

Download or read book Black Swan Green written by David Mitchell and published by Random House. This book was released on 2006-04-11 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the New York Times bestselling author of The Bone Clocks and Cloud Atlas | Longlisted for the Man Booker Prize Selected by Time as One of the Ten Best Books of the Year | A New York Times Notable Book | Named One of the Best Books of the Year by The Washington Post Book World, The Christian Science Monitor, Rocky Mountain News, and Kirkus Reviews | A Los Angeles Times Book Prize Finalist | Winner of the ALA Alex Award | Finalist for the Costa Novel Award From award-winning writer David Mitchell comes a sinewy, meditative novel of boyhood on the cusp of adulthood and the old on the cusp of the new. Black Swan Green tracks a single year in what is, for thirteen-year-old Jason Taylor, the sleepiest village in muddiest Worcestershire in a dying Cold War England, 1982. But the thirteen chapters, each a short story in its own right, create an exquisitely observed world that is anything but sleepy. A world of Kissingeresque realpolitik enacted in boys’ games on a frozen lake; of “nightcreeping” through the summer backyards of strangers; of the tabloid-fueled thrills of the Falklands War and its human toll; of the cruel, luscious Dawn Madden and her power-hungry boyfriend, Ross Wilcox; of a certain Madame Eva van Outryve de Crommelynck, an elderly bohemian emigré who is both more and less than she appears; of Jason’s search to replace his dead grandfather’s irreplaceable smashed watch before the crime is discovered; of first cigarettes, first kisses, first Duran Duran LPs, and first deaths; of Margaret Thatcher’s recession; of Gypsies camping in the woods and the hysteria they inspire; and, even closer to home, of a slow-motion divorce in four seasons. Pointed, funny, profound, left-field, elegiac, and painted with the stuff of life, Black Swan Green is David Mitchell’s subtlest and most effective achievement to date. Praise for Black Swan Green “[David Mitchell has created] one of the most endearing, smart, and funny young narrators ever to rise up from the pages of a novel. . . . The always fresh and brilliant writing will carry readers back to their own childhoods. . . . This enchanting novel makes us remember exactly what it was like.”—The Boston Globe “[David Mitchell is a] prodigiously daring and imaginative young writer. . . . As in the works of Thomas Pynchon and Herman Melville, one feels the roof of the narrative lifted off and oneself in thrall.”—Time

Download or read book Schizophrenia the Bearded Lady Disease Volume Two written by and published by Author House. This book was released on 2010-08-24 with total page 742 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Man has long searched for the cause and meaning of mental illness. This second book continues in an attempt to answer those questions. The author/compiler has spent 47 years investigating these problems and his conclusion is that severe unconscious bisexual conflict and confusion lie at the root of all mental illness, as difficult to comprehend as this idea may be. The book itself consists of 773 quotations, from a variety of sources, all of which point to the unshakable truth of this hypothesis. This is a fixed law of nature, unassailable and constantly operative in every case. No other species but man is afflicted with mental illness because no other species has either the intellectual power to repress their sexual feelings nor the motivation to do so. The disease we call schizophrenia is but an arbitrary name, which is used to designate the end-stage of a process beginning with a slight neurosis. The more severe the bisexual conflict and confusion in the individual, the more severe the degree of the mental illness which is experienced. Several other investigators in the past have reached this same conclusion, but unfortunately their wisdom went largely unheeded. Hopefully this book will remedy that ill-advised neglect.
