Download or read book Daydreams of Angels written by Heather O'Neill and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2015-10-06 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inventive, outlandish, and tender fairy tales from a bestselling author The fantastic has always been at the edges of Heather O'Neill's work. In her bestselling novels Lullabies for Little Criminals and The Girl Who Was Saturday Night, she transformed the shabbiest streets of Montreal with her beautiful, freewheeling metaphors. She described the smallest of things—a stray cat or a second-hand coat—with an intensity that made them otherworldly. In Daydreams of Angels, O'Neill's first collection of short stories, she gives free reign to her imaginative gifts. In "The Ugly Ducklings," generations of Nureyev clones live out their lives in a grand Soviet experiment. In "Dear Piglet," a teenaged cult follower writes a letter to explain the motivation behind her crime. And in another tale, a grandmother reveals where babies come from: the beach, where young mothers-to-be hunt for infants in the surf. Each of these beguiling stories twists the beloved narratives of childhood—fairy tales, storybooks, Bible stories—to uncover the deepest truths of family life.

Book excerpt: Edgar Award Finalist: The hunt for a vanished singer leads a detective into the depths of the occult in this “terrific” novel (Stephen King). Big-band frontman Johnny Favorite was singing for the troops when a Luftwaffe fighter squadron strafed the bandstand, killing the crowd and leaving the singer near death. The army returned him to a private hospital in upstate New York, leaving him to live out his days as a vegetable while the world forgot him. But Louis Cyphre never forgets. Cyphre had a contract with the singer, stipulating payment upon Johnny’s death—payment that will be denied as long as Johnny clings to life. When Cyphre hires private investigator Harry Angel to find Johnny at the hospital, Angel learns that the singer has disappeared. It is no ordinary missing-person’s case. Everyone he questions dies soon after, as Angel’s investigation ensnares him in a bizarre tangle of black magic, carnival freaks, and grisly voodoo. When the sinister Louis Cyphre begins appearing in Angel’s dreams, the detective fears for his life, his sanity, and his soul. Falling Angel was the basis for the Alan Parker film Angel Heart, starring Mickey Rourke, Robert De Niro, and Lisa Bonet. This ebook features an illustrated biography of William Hjortsberg including rare photos from the author’s personal collection.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A shifter sliced her wings away…and now an angel is trapped in hell. Or, trapped in the mortal realm. Same thing. Because to former angel Marna, living with the humans and the other paranormal beings is hell. A savage attack took her wings away, and all she wants to do is get revenge. Angels aren’t supposed to want revenge. They aren’t supposed to hate. They aren’t supposed to feel any emotion. But without her wings, Marna is powerless against the onslaught of human emotions that are bombarding her. She’s losing her control. She’s terrified. She’s desperate and… He wants to protect her. Panther shifter Tanner Chance wants to protect Marna. He found her in the woods after his own brother sliced away her beautiful wings. Tanner knows that Marna hates him, and all he wants to do is help her to heal. Unfortunately, Marna is being framed for a series of attacks and, as a cop, his job is to arrest her. But how the hell do you throw a fallen angel into jail? Simple. You don’t. You do team up with the angel and start trying to find the real killer. And that’s Tanner’s plan. Find the real killer. Clear Marna. But as they rush through the night and dodge the danger that chases them, Tanner’s inner beast recognizes Marna for what she really is…his mate. He craves her, he needs her…and he will do anything to claim her as his. He’d claw his way to heaven and rip his way through hell in order to possess her. Marna shouldn’t want Tanner. She shouldn’t feel the needs and lusts raging through her body. But when Tanner teaches her just how intense pleasure can feel, she starts to realize that maybe there is more to the man guarding her than just the beast he carries. And maybe…maybe there’s more to her than just being a lost angel. AVENGING ANGEL was originally released by Kensington Publishing in June of 2013. The book features an innocent angel who is about to be taught all about the virtues of sin by one very determined panther shifter. Hope you enjoy the paranormal ride.

Download or read book The Birth of an Angel written by Paul J Stuart and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2004-12 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peter Blakely has lost his faith. After nine years on the streets of a large suburban city, amidst a childhood-acquainted with grief, he recalls the absence of a father sent to prison years before. Now, a decade later, this man who has since been released, hopes for reconciliation. Forgiveness, though, does not come easy for Peter; especially in light of his vocation. Years amidst deprecating surroundings have changed him. For now it is easier not to believe; more comfortable not to forgive; more convenient to be angry. Enter Pascal the newest angel. God has seen fit to create him for the sole purpose of serving as a guardian to this unlikely police officer. Tentative and uncertain, Pascal finds himself curiously unhappy with his "assignment". 'Why can't he be closer to God, like the others? Why must he be so proximate with the sin and depravation of the world?' As the lessons are learned by each mortal, so they are burned into the souls of each of their guardian angels. And what is visible to angelic eyes is not always visible to human ones. Why is there assisted suicide? Why does God allow suffering in the world? How is the world truly viewed in Heaven? Curious questions to humans. But when witnessed through the eyes of celestial beings, who see God as He is, the world makes a bit more sense. Will Pascal reach Peter? Will his discontentment be addressed by the Son? Or will he come to see that he is closest to the Trinity amidst the thankless drudgery he seeks to avoid? A vocation filled with rewards not unlike that of his mortal's, perhaps the answers are closer than he thinks.
