Download or read book This Isn t Going to End Well written by Daniel Wallace and published by Algonquin Books. This book was released on 2023-04-04 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this powerful memoir, the bestselling author of Big Fish tries to come to terms with the life and death of his multi-talented longtime friend and brother-in-law, who had been his biggest hero and inspiration, in a poignant, lyrical, and moving memoir. If we’re lucky, we all encounter at least one person whose life elevates and inspires our own. For acclaimed novelist Daniel Wallace, he had one hero and inspiration for so much of what followed: his longtime friend and brother-in-law William Nealy. Seemingly perfect, impossibly cool, William was James Dean, Clint Eastwood, and MacGyver all rolled into one, an acclaimed outdoorsman, a famous cartoonist, an accomplished author, a master of all he undertook, William was the ideal that Daniel sought to emulate. But when William took his own life at age 48, Daniel was left first grieving, and then furious with the man who broke his and his sister’s hearts. That anger led him to commit a grievous act of his own, a betrayal that took him down a dark path into the tortured recesses of William’s past. Eventually, a new picture of William emerged, of a man with too many secrets and too much shame to bear. This Isn’t Going to End Well is Daniel Wallace’s first foray into nonfiction. Part love story, part true crime, part a desperate search for the self and how little we really can know another, This Isn’t Going to End Well tells an intimate and moving story of what happens when we realize our heroes are human.

Book excerpt: In 1932, The Mummy, starring Boris Karloff, introduced another icon to the classic monster pantheon, beginning a journey down the cinematic Nile that has yet to reach its end. Over the past century, movie mummies have met everyone from Abbott and Costello to Tom Cruise, not to mention a myriad of fellow monsters. Horrifying and mysterious, the mummy comes from a different time with uncommon knowledge and unique motivation, offering the lure of the exotic as well as the terrors of the dark. From obscure no-budgeters to Hollywood blockbusters, the mummy has featured in films from all over the globe, including Brazil, China, France, Hong Kong, India, Mexico, and even its fictional home country of Egypt--with each film bringing its own cultural sensibilities. Movie mummies have taken the form of teenagers, superheroes, dwarves, kung fu fighters, Satanists, cannibals and even mummies from outer space. Some can fly, some are sexy, some are scary and some are hilarious, and mummies quickly moved beyond horror cinema and into science fiction, comedy, romance, sexploitation and cartoons. From the Universal classics to the Aztec Mummy series, from Hammer's versions to Mexico's Guanajuato variations, this first-ever comprehensive guide to mummy movies offers in-depth production histories and critical analyses for every feature-length iteration of bandaged horror.

The reader meets the diverse group of quirky neighborhood friends who have the love of snow in common. It's a "snow day," and they have the chance to learn to ski like the oldest of the group, Daron. The setting, "Monster Mountain," is a fictional resort with plenty of vertical thrills for skiers and snow-riders of every level. Trail names like "Frankenstein" and "Yeti," reflect the monster theme of the resort. To bring realism to the tale, the author draws from her personal skiing experiences and from observing ski school classes and ski racing training sessions at a local ski resort. The plot takes the reader through the experiences of this group of beginner skiers, as they learn the basics of technique and tactics, including stance, turning, and stopping. When Daron (the oldest and a somewhat experienced skier) violates the Responsibility Code, he separates from the group and a search ensues. The story encourages courteous and cautious skiing and introduces a few basic ski lessons and the concept of ski racing. The book teaches the National Ski Areas Association's "RESPONSIBILITY CODE" in a humorous and entertaining way and the Code is reprinted at the back of the book for reference.
