Download or read book All The Devils Are Here written by David Seabrook and published by Granta Books. This book was released on 2014-07-03 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twenty years ago, in a series of mysterious, incandescent writings, David Seabrook told of the places he knew best: the declining resort towns of the Kent coast. The pieces were no advert for the local tourist board. Here, the ghosts of murderers and mad artists crawl the streets. Septuagenarian rent boys recall the good old days and Carry On stars go to seed. Clandestine fascist networks emerge. And all the time, there is Seabrook himself - desperate perhaps, and in danger. Dark, strange and immediate, this is a classic work of sui generis British literature. There are devils here, and the reader will remember them.

Download or read book She Devils written by Anne Mcduff and published by Kings Road Publishing. This book was released on 2009-04-06 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Very few women kill. When they do, it is often the tragic outcome of domestic abuse, drug addiction, or mental illness. It is rare for women to kill for pleasure, yet a few of that breed emerge in each generation. At the turn of the last century, with no adoption agencies to protect them, Annie Walters killed unwanted newborns.nbsp;Ninety years later, Aileennbsp;Wuornos sold herself on the highways of Florida, a well-known hunting ground for men looking for prostitutes, until she became the hunter. Rose West exploited lonely girls from nearby children's homes, and Myra Hindley took sickening advantage of the blind trust of Britain in the 1960s where children were safe to walk the streets alone. Beverley Allit and Marybeth Tinning thought that, as a nurse and a mother, the deaths of the children in their care would be seen as tragic accidents. And Karla Homolka exploited a different prejudice. She was prefect, pretty, and so caring as a veterinary nurse. No one ever imagined she could be a sexual predator and killer.

Download or read book Gallantry Dizain Des Fetes Galantes written by James Branch Cabell and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2023-11-01 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Gallantry: Dizain des Fetes Galantes" is a captivating novel authored by James Branch Cabell. Set in the fictional French province of Poictesme, the book weaves a mesmerizing tapestry of romance, and chivalry and other one whimsical fantasy. The story follows the protagonist, Manuel, a simple innkeeper's son, as he embarks on a journey of self-discovery and ambition. Determined to ascend the social ladder and win the heart of a noblewoman, the beguiling Countess Melicent, Manuel's adventures are laden with humor, satire, and allegorical undertones. Cabell's writing style is poetic and laced with wit, drawing inspiration from the 18th-century French rococo paintings known as "fêtes galantes." He skillfully blends elements of romance and fantasy, presenting a compelling portrayal of medieval courtly life while subtly critiquing societal conventions. "Gallantry" is not merely a tale of courtly love but also a commentary on the complexities of human desires, aspirations, and the illusions of nobility. Through Manuel's quest for gallantry, Cabell masterfully explores themes of ambition, identity, and the follies of romance. This literary gem continues to enchant readers with its graceful prose, intricate narrative, and timeless reflections on the human condition, making it a remarkable and enduring work in the realm of fantasy literature.

Download or read book The Collected Works of James Branch Cabell Illustrated written by James Cabell and published by Strelbytskyy Multimedia Publishing. This book was released on 2021-11-23 with total page 3231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: James Branch was an American author of fantasy fiction and belles-lettres. Cabell was well-regarded by his contemporaries, including H. L. Mencken, Edmund Wilson, and Sinclair Lewis. His works were considered escapist. Although escapist, Cabell's works are ironic and satirical. Cabell's best-known book is Jurgen, A Comedy of Justice. The eponymous hero, who considers himself a "monstrous clever fellow", embarks on a journey through ever more fantastic realms, even to hell and heaven. Everywhere he goes, he winds up seducing the local women, even the Devil's wife. A great deal of Cabell's work has focused on the Biography of the Life of Manuel, the story of a character named Dom Manuel and his descendants through many generations. Many of these books take place in the fictional country eventually ruled by Manuel, known as "Poictesme". Several other books take place in the fictional town of Lichfield, Virginia. His later novel, The First Gentleman of America: A Comedy of Conquest, retells the strange career of an American Indian from the shores of the Potomac who sailed away with Spanish explorers, later to return, be made chief of his tribe, and kill all the Spaniards in the new Virginia settlement. Cabell also wrote a number of autobiographical and genealogical works. The Eagle’s Shadow The Line of Love Gallantry The Cords of Vanity Chivalry The Soul of Melicent The Rivet in Grandfather’s Neck The Certain Hour From the Hidden Way The Cream of the Jest Some Ladies and Jurgen Beyond Life Jurgen The Judging of Jurgen Figures of Earth Taboo The Jewel Merchants The Lineage of Lichfield The High Place Straws and Prayer-Books
