Book excerpt: "I think the devil didn't know the kind of little girl he was messing with! God wants other people to learn from what happens to our family." --Kelsey Wood, December 1999 "Mom, can I paint my new room purple? It's my favorite color and it just makes me feel good." --Kelsey Wood, November 2002 The day was warm in Hot Springs, Arkansas. The sun was bright and the wind trailing in a light breeze. I pulled myself from a comfortable position on the chair and stood. Walking to the window, I could see the lake below gleaming in the sun as I considered my next words carefully ... or not so carefully Suzanne. Yes. Robert just asked me to take over a store in Baton Rouge. What! The store there is hemorrhaging cash, and Robert wants me to turn it around." John, we've had just over a year back in Dallas! The kids are just now beginning to re-adjust. I know, but it's a great opportunity, and you know how bored and restless I can get. And so the journey begins ...

Download or read book This Is a Thriller written by Alan Warren and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2004-04-28 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The late 1950s and early 1960s were the golden years of horror television. Anthology series such as Way Out and Great Ghost Tales, along with certain episodes of Twilight Zone and The Alfred Hitchcock Hour, were among the shows that consistently frightened a generation of television viewers. And perhaps the best of them all was Thriller, hosted by Boris Karloff. In Thriller the horror was gothic, with a darker, bleaker vision of life than its contemporaries. The show's origins and troubled history is first discussed here, followed by biographies of such key figures as producer William Frye, executive producer Hubbell Robinson, writers Robert Bloch and Donald S. Sanford, and Karloff. The episode guide covers all 67 installments, providing airdate, production credits, cast, plot synopses and critical evaluations.

Download or read book The Purple Room written by Mauro Casiraghi and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-02-26 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A woman stands naked, silhouetted against a window in a purple room. It's the only memory Sergio has of the week leading up to the accident that almost killed him when he was scuba diving off the Tuscan coast. He remembers nothing else about that woman, but the love he feels for her will drive him to delve into the mystery surrounding those days that are missing from his memory. The Purple Room is a magnetic and gripping psychological drama, but filled with those moments of bittersweet comedy, misunderstanding and heartbreak that all too often punctuate every search for a partner. Sergio's is a journey of self-discovery, in which a deep and uncompromising self-awareness goes hand in hand with the universal desire to find someone to love. Winner of the Carver Prize and Carlo Cassola Prize for Literature. EDITORIAL REVIEWS "Intense and moving. Delicate like the touch of cotton sheets in the summer. A page-turner, kidnaps the reader with impeccable style and storytelling worth a prize." - Booksblog "Casiraghi's style is smooth, tight and spare." - Il Corriere della Sera "A deeply human journey, both painful and magnetic. (...) A bittersweet ending which leaves you with food for thought and a half-smile on your face." DG MAG "A craftily-woven plot that sucks the reader in with the pace of a psychological thriller, for such becomes Sergio's life, filled with questions, traps, revelations, all leading to the final discovery of oneself." Stilos "The story unfolds in a gripping and suspended atmosphere, where euphoria, desperation and self-doubt come together in equal measure (...) Casiraghi's novel is like a mirror where, beyond the twists and turns of the plot, the reader finds another tale to identify with. It is one of those stories in which, even without accidents or memory loss, each one of us can become the main character and, in the end, must come to terms with the past..." Liberazione "The Purple Room runs on two tracks: on one hand, Sergio's present life, the aftermath of his failed marriage, the bittersweet conflict with his teenage daughter, the comforting presence of his close friends; on the other, the stubborn search for the image of a woman he cannot forget. These tracks are joined together by a clever alternation of tenses. The present tense gives us what Sergio sees in front of his eyes, like a photograph. The simple past makes us dive into the narrator's mind, where his memories are kept. At times, the two tenses blend together in the same paragraph, bringing out with great force the dream-like texture of this novel." Sguardomobile.it

An intergalactic tyrant by the name of King Brainiac, seeking the ultimate power contained within the mythical Gem of the Universe, attacks and destroys the peaceful planet, Stupin, home to the Stupinians, a people who are really, REALLY stupid.

Landing on the planet Earth, these new heroes, Stuper Man and Stuper Dog, dedicate themselves to defending the Gem from Brainiac and his evil forces.

The Dumbbell Duo may not have much of it, but through their trials they prove that knowledge has been, is, and will always be the most powerful weapon that you can wield. The fate of the universe is in his hands...feel pity for the universe.

Download or read book Critical Essays on Twin Peaks The Return written by Antonio Sanna and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-01-04 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited collection offers an interdisciplinary study of Twin Peaks: The Return, the third season of a TV program that has attracted the attention (and appreciation) of spectators, fans, and critics for over two decades. The book takes readers into several distinct areas and addresses the different approaches and the range of topics invited by the multidimensionality of the subject itself: the philosophical, the artistic, the socio-cultural, and the personal. The eighteen chapters constituting the volume are academic in their approach to the subject and in their methodology, whether they apply a historical, psychoanalytical, film studies, or gender studies perspective to the text under examination. The variety and range of perspectives in these aforementioned chapters reflect the belief that a study of the full complexity of Twin Peaks: The Return, as well as a timely assessment of the critical importance of the program, requires both an interdisciplinary perspective and the fusion of different intellectual approaches across genres. The chapters demonstrate a collective awareness of the TV series as a fundamental milestone in contemporary culture.

Download or read book Hmmmmm written by BlakelyCollierBrown and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2015-06-19 with total page 637 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hmmmmm . . . is a creative work of fiction, accentuated by Gods Holy Spirit. There are true-to-life experiences about human frailties, sexuality, natural and spiritual interactions, as well as great personalities and disgusting characters. This is not going to be one of those religious novels where the author will tell how people received Salvation through Jesus Christ and everything fell right into place. Forget it! God knows exactly what He has created. God is good, and He loves you. Our utmost fear is (and it is fear), we are afraid to know Him in a personal relationship. Human reasoning believes its impossible to know God intimately. Gods son, Jesus, died for pedophiles, heterosexuals, adulterers, gays/lesbians, sexual deviants, serial killers, murderers, terrorists, gangbangers, school teachers, porn stars, presidents, kings, queens, soldiers, childrenwhomever! He made you. He made all of us. He is Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End of a thing. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He catches the wise in their own craftiness. And again, The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile (1 Cor. 3:1920).
