Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: They take place on desolate highways, in a dark and lonely wood, in ordinary neighborhoods just like your own. Tales of everyday people caught up in indomitable situations. Dread-inducing moments with an air of plausibility-while you hope to god they aren't actually true. Urban legends, modern folklore, or creepypasta. Whatever you call them, they represent shards of our deepest anxieties as individuals, as a society. CORPSE COLD: NEW AMERICAN FOLKLORE evokes the spirit of the campfire tales you heard as a kid. This 20-story anthology offers refreshing, mature reinterpretations of time-tested stories, and wholly original legends that explore the twisted labyrinth of modern myth. Each tale is brought to life and made all the more unsettling by the striking, grisly illustrations of artist Chad Wehrle.

Download or read book Radioland written by Dave Konig and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2000-12 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It started with the advent of commercial radio stations. They began a dream for every American to have their own station and to communicate with each other over long distances without having to use a telephone. The FCC allotted the 27 MHz band to citizens. It quickly became known as the Citizens Band or CB for short. CB's became popularized in the 1970's. Its popularity decreased as society moved on, but it remained a part of the dream of American mobility. It was 1993, twenty years after the CB became a popular tool for truckers, and the truckers were still using it hard and fast. They had created their own languages. There were the twelve codes, and the thirteen codes. Both codes were used by saying "Twelve-four" which stood for a phrase, a word, or a jumble of different things. The most popular became the CBer's basic language, the ten codes. The truckers formed clans and convoys that toured the highways of the United States in a criss-cross pattern while they moved their freight. The CB wasn't just used by truckers, there were other individuals who found use for the radios in their cars and houses. It became both tool and toy. CBer's didn't respond to their real names, but used codenames or "handles" as a way for people to get a hold of them. It's through the recreational use of CB that stories get interesting and turn over tenfold. Clubs and groups sprung up and the air stayed alive. This is a story about the people who lived and breathed radio. A group of people were known as CBFIVE, after their home channel. A story about their lives, loves, trials, and triumphs. It is a story that happens in a place they called Radioland.

Download or read book Today written by David Miller and published by Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: August, 1924: John Conrad arrives at his parents' home on the outskirts of Canterbury, where family and friends are assembling for the bank holiday weekend. His crippled mother has been discharged from a nursing home, his brother drives down from London with wife and child. But as the guests converge, John's father dies. Today follows the numb implications of sudden death: the surprise, the shock, the deep fissures in a family exposed through grief. But there is also laughter, fraud, and theft; the continuation of life, all viewed through the eyes of Lilian Hallowes—John's father's secretary—never quite at the center of things but always observing, the still point in a turning world. Today is a remarkable debut, an investigation of bereavement, family, and Englishness, beautiful in its understatement and profound in its psychological acuity.

Download or read book Ghosts of the Southern Mountains and Appalachia written by Nancy Roberts and published by Univ of South Carolina Press. This book was released on 2019-10-11 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nancy Roberts has often been described to as the "First Lady of American Folklore" and the title is well deserved. Throughout her decades-long career, Roberts documented supernatural experiences and interviewed hundreds of people about their recollections of encounters with the supernatural. This nationally renowned writer began her undertaking in this ghostly realm as a freelance writer for the Charlotte Observer. Encouraged by Carl Sandburg, who enjoyed her stories and articles, Roberts wrote her first book in 1958. Aptly called a "custodian of the twilight zone" by Southern Living magazine, Roberts based her suspenseful stories on interviews and her rich knowledge of American folklore. Her stories were always rooted in history, which earned her a certificate of commendation from the American Association of State and Local History for her books on the Carolinas and Appalachia.
