Download or read book Pandora s Game written by Christopher Andrews and published by Rising Star Visionary Press. This book was released on 2000-11 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: College students Neil Carpenter and Mark Hudson set out to create "The Triumvirate," a comic book about supernatural creatures who resist their evil natures and hunt their own kind. When Neil learns hypnosis in his Psychology class, he proposes to use it to enrich the characters -- they could hypnotize themselves into thinking that they ARE the characters, then exchange interviews. To test the idea, Neil assumes the identity of the vampire, the independently wealthy and deeply religious Alistaire Bachman. The Game begins... ...a Game that leads to a whirlwind of confusion, murder, and impossibility. Praise for Pandora ́s Game: "Pandora ́s Game is written in a unique way, where it is more of a memoire written by Neil to tell everyone what has really happened. I am not a very big fan of the first person point of view, but Andrews uses it in a way that improves the story, instead of detracting from it. Near the end of the book, the point of view changes without warning, and while not something that would be a recommended technique, it adds greatly to the plot. In many ways, Andrews writes like an author with much more experience behind him than he actually has. And while there are certain scenes that showed the inexperience, those scenes were few and far between. I expect Christopher Andrews to become a fantastic author. I highly recommend Pandora ́s Game ́ especially to those who are looking to discover a new author." -- Pat McGreal, "Horror Novels Online" Newsletter, March 2nd, 2000 "This isn ́t just a [story] of two young men going mad. This isn ́t a [story] of a hypnotism game going wrong. It is much more than that, and that is what makes this book so interesting ... Pandora ́s Game takes this to a new level ... Andrews shows a lot of versatility in this book handling 15th century Germany as well as a modern day college setting. The supernatural scenes, both set now and in the past are written with as much competence and style as Poppy Z. Brite or Anne Rice, yet at the same time other parts of the book show normal college kids getting drunk and having fun at parties. To write both in a natural way, and switch seamlessly between the two, is something that I have seen many authors try and fail. I started Pandora ́s Game because I had to review it, but I kept on reading it because I was enjoying it so much ... that is why it will be Book Of The Month in June [2001]." Lesley Meade, Booknet, June 1, 2001 Praise for Christopher Andrews ́ next novel, Dream Parlor: "Dream Parlor has been likened to 1984, [with a] tone similar to The Running Man ... I was impressed with the characters -- Corbit makes a good egotistical Villain with believable motivations -- and Eli ́s desire to fill his fathers shoes, and at the same time lack of belief in himself, made him an easy-to-identify-with hero. Dana, Jacob, Derby and the other less major characters were also well fleshed out - too often characters are used to bring the plot along then forgotten about, but that didn ́t happen here ... An amazing read, and one that I think would appeal to a much wider audience than the usual science fiction crowd." Lesley Meade, Booknet, June 1, 2001

Book excerpt: Are you known to strike like a thunderbolt when things don't go your way? Are you fortunate enough to have the Midas touch? Have you ever been struck by Cupid's arrow? Classically derived expressions are commonly used in our everyday language, yet many of us have little knowledge of the Greek and Roman influences that inspired them. With Opening Pandora's Box you'll discover the fascinating stories behind familiar phrases like Achilles' Heel, a Nemesis, To Fly too Close to the Sun, and more. For example, did you know that... The lifesaving operation known as the Caesarean section is so named because Julius Caesar was delivered by being cut out of his mother's womb? The original labyrinth was built on the orders of King Minos of Crete after Aphrodite cursed his wife to fall in love with a bull and produce a monstrous baby? The king locked the baby in a maze so complicated and tangled that, once in, he would never emerge. The word cereal is derived from the Italian corn goddess Ceres?Pry open the lid of the English language to find the secrets behind classical phrases we use every day.

Download or read book Pandora s Garden written by Clinton Crockett Peters and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2018-05-01 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pandora’s Garden profiles invasive or unwanted species in the natural world and examines how our treatment of these creatures sometimes parallels in surprising ways how we treat each other. Part essay, part nature writing, part narrative nonfiction, the chapters in Pandora’s Garden are like the biospheres of the globe; as the successive chapters unfold, they blend together like ecotones, creating a microcosm of the world in which we sustain nonhuman lives but also contain them. There are many reasons particular flora and fauna may be unwanted, from the physical to the psychological. Sometimes they may possess inherent qualities that when revealed help us to interrogate human perception and our relationship to an unwanted other. Pandora’s Garden is primarily about creatures that humans don’t get along with, such as rattlesnakes and sharks, but the chapters also take on a range of other subjects, including stolen children in Australia, the treatment of illegal immigrants in Texas, and the disgust function of the human limbic system. Peters interweaves these diverse subjects into a whole that mirrors the evolving and interrelated world whose surprises and oddities he delights in revealing.

Download or read book Pandoras Return written by Ingram Foster and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2015-08-18 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was first written in the last millennium in the prediction of war in the Middle East, in the late years of the 1990s, during a period of hospitalization in which therapy and communication work hand in hand. I had much support in my goals in both arts and crafts and in the verses I was writing, and I’ve tried in this script to include power and evocativeness to create not only a dimension in word but an inspired view into art in general and a backdrop for an overall growth span in art in all its forms.
