She tells trusting psychiatrist Dr Hurst that the town will fall victim to the kind of vicious uprising it has really been asking for. While the authorities claim her theories are a cover for her obvious guilt, more and more people of Promiscuville are meeting a violent end.

Book excerpt: Blake was never one for taking chances. He lived in a world of statistics and probabilities where everything could be controlled.

Rise of the Dead chronicles the first week of events beginning from the moment the dead rise.

Along the way, Blake finds himself thrust among other unlikely survivors who must adapt to the realities of the undead world or join the legion of zombies. They must do more than fight off the undead. The survivors must fight against their conditioned apathy towards humanity.

She is ill, maybe injured, possibly dying, we don't really know. On the way up to Ward 12, the lift gets stuck. Our nameless hero panics; he has to get up there to see his love, he is desperate and upset. What condition will she be in? In the isolation, with the company of an old man who is himself visiting his dying wife, our hero rethinks the chain of events that led him to this moment; beginning with his strange childhood in the small village of Sand Coaster. His insane father who roams the house in a wedding dress dominates his young family life. Relief is had by his great friends, and the comforting presence of Uncle Archie the Story teller, an old eccentric outcast who lives in a burned out factory with his mice friends. In his teens he meets the love of his life, Philippa Maynard, his obsession, his pin up, his everything. His love for her is intense, but there is something very strange about their doomed union. What begins a standard love story soon turns sour, and a surreal, twisted dream like story follows. The various characters in the man's life suggest possibilities of a wild imagination, a loneliness that brews a more interesting fantasy world. Meet the Sofa guard, an armed soldier sent by the sofa company to guard the couch, until he feels the owner is mature enough to be trusted alone with the three seater; the demented sex pest Kevin the Sniffer; the world famous Archaeologist Alonut Missing who used to have a business based on a cuddling service; Cutey the pimp; Nippy Want the glancing needer; Wasted Lampo, the war hero robot that never was; Rico Romano the spick who loves sex; Da Checkers; Yellow Cassettes Peck. It's a strange world, unlike any other you've chanced upon.

Download or read book Buster Keaton written by Chris Wade and published by . This book was released on 2018-01-19 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the golden age of silent cinema, Buster Keaton was one of the world's most revered filmmakers, his fame and acclaim matched only by Chaplin. However, when his career and personal life took a down turn upon the arrival of sound, Keaton's achievements were forgotten, and for years he was seen as a faded relic from another era. Contrary to popular belief however, Keaton bounced back. He quit the drink, remarried and got his career back on track. In the 1950s and 60s, he kept on working steadily on TV, in commercials, telefilms, mainstream movies and independent features. This book explores the final years, and days, of Buster Keaton. Chris Wade looks at the wide variety of work he took on, such as Film, which Keaton made with Samuel Beckett; The Railrodder, one of his final two- reelers; and a host of other lost curiosities worthy of dusting off and re-evaluating. Wade makes a case for this latter period being a Keaton renaissance. Also includes a new Q and A with Gerald Potterton, director of The Railrodder.
