Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On November 4, 1990 Tim Boczkowski phoned 911 in Greensboro, North Carolina to report his wife Elaine lying motionless in the bathtub. In the days that followed the paramedics' failed efforts to revive Elaine, detectives began to suspect that Tim had murdered his wife after a quarrel. But with no eyewitnesses to the crime--the couple's three children were in bed asleep- -Tim went free to pick up the pieces of his life... Four years later Tim's second wife-a woman who had devoted herself to his children-died under similar circumstances. Immediately, his past was tightened around him like a noose, and some of those who knew him best began to believe that the mild mannered, religiously devout Boczkowski was really a madman who killed his wives with his bare hands. But Tim Boczkowski's worst crime of all may have been committed against his own children: taking away their mother not once but twice...

Download or read book Kill My Mother A Graphic Novel written by Jules Feiffer and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2014-08-25 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Eisner Prize for Best New Graphic Album Winner of the National Cartoonist Society Reuben Award for Best Graphic Novel Named one of the Best Books of the Year by Vanity Fair, Kirkus Reviews, and Library Journal A New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice Selection When three daunting dolls intersect with one hapless heroine and a hard-boiled private eye, deception, betrayal, and murder stalk every mean street in… Kill My Mother. Adding to a legendary career that includes a Pulitzer Prize, an Academy Award, Obie Awards, and Lifetime Achievement Awards from the National Cartoonist Society and the Writers Guild of America, Jules Feiffer now presents his first noir graphic novel. Kill My Mother is a loving homage to the pulp-inspired films and comic strips of his youth. Channeling Eisner's The Spirit, along with the likes of Hammett, Chandler, Cain, John Huston, and Billy Wilder, and spiced with the deft humor for which Feiffer is renowned, Kill My Mother centers on five formidable women from two unrelated families, linked fatefully and fatally by a has-been, hard-drinking private detective. As our story begins, we meet Annie Hannigan, an out-of-control teenager, jitterbugging in the 1930s. Annie dreams of offing her mother, Elsie, whom she blames for abandoning her for a job soon after her husband, a cop, is shot and killed. Now, employed by her husband’s best friend—an over-the-hill and perpetually soused private eye—Elsie finds herself covering up his missteps as she is drawn into a case of a mysterious client, who leads her into a decade-long drama of deception and dual identities sprawling from the Depression era to World War II Hollywood and the jungles of the South Pacific. Along with three femme fatales, an obsessed daughter, and a loner heroine, Kill My Mother features a fighter turned tap dancer, a small-time thug who dreams of being a hit man, a name-dropping cab driver, a communist liquor store owner, and a hunky movie star with a mind-boggling secret. Culminating in a U.S.O. tour on a war-torn Pacific island, this disparate band of old enemies congregate to settle scores. In a drawing style derived from Steve Canyon and The Spirit, Feiffer combines his long-honed skills as cartoonist, playwright, and screenwriter to draw us into this seductively menacing world where streets are black with soot and rain, and base motives and betrayal are served on the rocks in bars unsafe to enter. Bluesy, fast-moving, and funny, Kill My Mother is a trip to Hammett-Chandler-Cain Land: a noir-graphic novel like the movies they don’t make anymore.

Download or read book New Ways to Kill Your Mother written by Colm Toibin and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-06-12 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his essay on Tennessee Williams, the author reveals an artist profoundly tormented by his sister's mental illness. Through the relationship between W.B. Yeats and his father, he examines a world of family relations, and in Roddy Doyle's writing on his parents illuminates an Ireland reinvented. From John Cheever's journals he makes flesh this darkly comic misanthrope and his intimates. Educating an intellectual woman, Cheever remarked, is like letting a rattlesnake into the house. In pieces that range from the importance of aunts (and the death of parents) in the English nineteenth-century novel to the relationship between fathers and sons in the writing of James Baldwin and Barack Obama, the author illuminates the intimate connections between writers and their families, but also articulates the great joy of reading their work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Why I Didn’t Kill My Former-In-Law” This story is based on true events. It is the unimaginable horror of what happened to Marge Gleason, left with haunting memories of her mother’s death and her former-in-law who continued to make millions by conning the legal system, and getting away with it because of her close relatives who are judges in a small town. They have a delicious plan to rip off Marge of what was rightfully hers left by her mother in her Will. A few hours after the passing of Marge’s mother, the former-in-law and two of her children robbed Marge’s mother’s home, where they discovered a hidden fortune left to Marge by her mother. This was Marge’s money. But they stole the documents as proof in order for Marge to fight what was legally hers. None of them ever hesitated about having Marge knocked-off. Marge had no doubt they would do what they have threatened and the chaos was just the beginning. But Marge refused to live like a prisoner given the circumstances or the disturbing effect they had on her. The former-in-law was determined to be in control of Marge’s mother’s Will through the power of her relatives sitting on the bench in the law of justice. Marge did not become the angry woman who takes the law into her own hands. Instead, she followed the law of righteousness and did not kill her former-in-law, even though she was constantly tempted every day. Marge learned the hard way how to control her emotions. This took every ounce of personal discipline, even as she was being stalked daily for months at a time by an evil, violent, unpredictable sociopath known as the former-in-law that tried to murder Marge and would have murdered her for her mother’s estate. Even though Marge found it hard to contain her fright at the thought of being eaten alive, she continued to live her life as she prayed for protection every night from a money hungry terrifying nasty former-in-law who lives without a conscience and her only thoughts are, ‘Money is my God.’ (All the Names have been Changed until the Guilty are Exposed) At the end of the book there is a Self Help chapter which includes: Don’t Let this Happen to You! How to Protect yourself as a Rightful Heir!

Download or read book We Can t Kill Your Mother written by Lawrence Martin and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2011-09-30 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early 1980s I wrote a story about an extremely ill patient cared for in our medical intensive care unit (MICU) at Mt. Sinai Hospital, Cleveland. Called A Case For Intensive Care, the story was for a general audience and appeared in a local college literary magazine. Until then all my published writing had been for doctors only, and I wanted to explain a complicated medical case in a way that anyone could understand. In the ensuing years I wrote many other patient-centered stories, each intended for a general audience. They are now collected in We Cant Kill Your Mother! and Other Stories of Intensive Care. This book is for the general reader - In fact the only requirement is an interest in humanity. Illness and medicine are universal and everyone has some familiarity with hospitals, if only from the position of consumer. Most people have, at some point, either been hospitalized or visited a family member in the hospital. These stories take you inside the medical intensive care unit, a major part of every acute care hospital. Thats the setting, but the subject is people and their serious (and sometimes strange) afflictions. The first chapter gives an overview of intensive care rounds and how the MICU operates. Succeeding chapters are devoted to one or two patients and the challenges they present. Like Harold Switek, too ill to leave MICU, too psychotic to stay. And Willie the Yellow Man, whose love affair with alcohol exceeded anything youve ever seen. Youll meet a young socialite hospitalized with rapid onset of total paralysis and wonder as we did will she ever hug her kids again? And another woman about to have her baby during a terrifying asthma attack. I am not the first, and will certainly not be the last, medical professional to write about his or her patients. In a literary sense doctors and nurses are privileged; what we see in our daily jobs is more than enough to fill many interesting books. Lawrence Martin, M.D. Cleveland, Ohio

Download or read book Where The Light Lives written by Linda Cull and published by Wilara Press. This book was released on 2015-10-11 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Where The Light Lives is the inspirational memoir of Linda Cull, a young woman from a traditional Southern European culture which was traumatised and fragmented by the Second World War and civil conflicts, and the story of her spiritual awakening journey. Linda was born and raised in Australia, far from her ancestral lands and their brutality, but the effects of war and cultural displacement impacted her formative years through the struggles of her immigrant parents. As a teenager Linda was diagnosed with a spinal condition which caused her pain, disfigurement and humiliation, escalating her feelings of anxiety and despair. Turning to God for comfort and meaning, at the age of sixteen, Linda heard God’s voice calling her name and she had her first of many transcendent experiences. Throughout her twenties and thirties Linda experienced out-of-body travels to heaven and back, encounters with God, angels, spirit beings and the dearly departed, culminating in a profound healing of her life from personal and intergenerational grief. Acts of spontaneous inspired creativity, enhanced intuition, synchronicities, premonitions and past life visions have further expanded Linda’s understanding of reality and the interconnectedness of all life. This intimate account provides remarkable insight into spiritually transformative experiences and their after-effects, the nature of God, heaven and the soul. It is a book for anyone who has ever contemplated the meaning of life, had a spiritual experience, hoped for true healing or wondered about the spiritual survival of a departed loved one. In sharing her story, Linda hopes you will remember and reclaim your Divine connection. Reviews "Where The Light Lives is a beautifully written account of a young woman's extraordinary visionary experiences. Diagnosed with a painful and humiliating disease of the spine, Linda Cull wanted to die. Without even nearly dying, she then had a series of encounters with a dazzling light-being that transformed her life. Similar to the classic near-death experience, Linda's sense of being flooded with lessons from a transcendent source awakened her artistic imagination, which launched her on a career as a brilliant painter. Her book is a document of hope to all and should expand the horizons of human psychology." -Michael Grosso, PhD, philosopher, author of Experiencing The Next World Now "Linda's story is beautifully written and of great healing benefit. It will be a great source of comfort to many people." -Penny Sartori, PhD, NDE researcher, author of The Wisdom of Near-Death Experiences "... an open-hearted, intimate and very personal account about the content and after-effects of the many spiritually transformative experiences by the author. The reader needs an open mind to really understand and to empathise with the impact of these overwhelming conscious experiences." -Dr Pim van Lommel, cardiologist, author of Consciousness Beyond Life: The Science of the Near-Death Experience "... a delightful story of a woman who has had a remarkable journey through the psychic-sphere where spiritually transformative experiences are a way of life for her. Along the way, the paranormal becomes normal and she is able to walk between the worlds melding this life and the other, heavenly side. This is a book you will want to read!" -Jody Long, webmaster for the Near-Death Experience Research Foundation (NDERF), author of God's Fingerprints: Impressions of Near-Death Experiences "Where The Light Lives is a reminder that spiritually transcendent experiences offer us a myriad of ways to access the eternal. They teach us that we are to bring those eternal truths to bear upon our daily world. Linda Cull has filled her book with her own personal stories that will amaze readers." -Nancy Clark, International Association for Near-Death Studies (IANDS) facilitator, author of Divine Moments: Ordinary People Having Spiritually Transformative Experiences "Journeying into the Light with Linda is the closest you can get to heaven while you are still breathing." -Anthony Grzelka, psychic medium, author of Life and Beyond: A Medium's Guide to Dealing with Loss and Making Contact "Down-to-earth accessible, Linda's story is full of light, hope and hard won wisdom - a story for the soul." -Frith Luton, Jungian analyst, author of Bees, Honey and the Hive: Circumambulating the Centre (A Jungian Exploration of the Symbolism & Psychology)

Download or read book Borderland Battles written by Annette Idler and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-01-25 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The post-cold war era has seen an unmistakable trend toward the proliferation of violent non-state groups-variously labeled terrorists, rebels, paramilitaries, gangs, and criminals-near borders in unstable regions especially. In Borderland Battles, Annette Idler examines the micro-dynamics among violent non-state groups and finds striking patterns: borderland spaces consistently intensify the security impacts of how these groups compete for territorial control, cooperate in illicit cross-border activities, and replace the state in exerting governance functions. Drawing on extensive fieldwork with more than 600 interviews in and on the shared borderlands of Colombia, Ecuador, and Venezuela, where conflict is ripe and crime thriving, Idler reveals how dynamic interactions among violent non-state groups produce a complex security landscape with ramifications for order and governance, both locally and beyond. A deep examination of how violent non-state groups actually operate with and against one another on the ground, Borderland Battles will be essential reading for anyone involved in reducing organized crime and armed conflict-some of our era's most pressing and seemingly intractable problems.
