Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mysterious disappearance of vulnerable people is always a hard one to swallow. When mothers, elderly people, or children go missing, it often causes empathy and panic to both stir within the community. Perhaps the worst is when children disappear without a trace. Children abductions are very rarely done by someone that the child doesn't know. While stranger abductions are far rarer, they're also far more dangerous. People who study missing children have come up with a formula: or every twenty-four hours that a child is missing, the chance of finding them alive reduces by half. As terrifying as that is, it is the unfortunate reality when it comes to missing children. But what about the children that just disappear out of thin air? In some cases, a child is there one minute, and gone the next, with no understanding of where they have gone, or if anyone has taken them. The story of the Frog Boys has confused, intrigued, and saddened people all over the world for the last twenty-seven years. It is a story of five boys who simply walked into the woods, never to be seen again.

Download or read book The Missing Charms written by Eugene O'Brien and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2010-09 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the hours following Christ's quiet escape from the grip of death, He began to fulfill His breathtaking promise to dwell within us and walk among us. He chose the road to Emmaus as a fitting venue to showcase the subtle power by which He intended to move His own from venality to virtue, from deceit to forthrightness, and from timidity to boldness. The men that He engaged on the road had felt the pain of broken relationship. The One in whom they had placed their trust failed to live up to His commitment. He had, after all, orphaned them-or had He? Who was this Stranger who suddenly appeared, reminding them of the very truths meant to sustain them? It was only after patient communion that they recognized Him as the One whom they thought had forsaken them. Just as He had emerged from the wreckage of His former physical accommodation, so He appears amid the broken pieces of troubled relationships. The New Testament proclaims that Christ is before all things. One might understand this assertion to imply that in much the same way a conductor assumes himself before an orchestra, Christ directs the timing, movement, rhythm and intensity of all the lives that would have it so. If a broken or neglected relationship is to be restored, it will be done so on the Emmaus Road. The elusive voice will speak from within one circumstance to the next. One might count it silly fancy or he might take it for what it is: the confident direction of a Divine Conductor. One will know when he has chosen the latter, for his heart will indeed burn within him.

Download or read book Little Lulu The Little Girl Who Could Talk to Trees written by John Stanley and published by Drawn and Quarterly. This book was released on 2021-08-10 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The hijinks of a bold and brash little girl make these timeless comics laugh-out-loud funny Forget trying to break into the boys club, Lulu Moppet would rather tear it down! In this volume of Drawn & Quarterly’s landmark reprints of Marge’s Little Lulu, our heroine plays pranks on her male counterparts, beating them at their own game and having a lot more fun because of it. Many of the strips in Little Lulu: The Little Girl Who Could Talk to Trees are farcical retellings of classic nursery rhymes and fairy tales—stories Lulu is telling Alvin, the boy she babysits. Only, when Lulu’s running the show, she casts herself as the main character, much to Alvin’s dismay! And rather than barreling straight toward a simple moralistic ending about the importance of sharing or kindness, her yarns veer sideways for a rollicking punch line every time. Lulu also ventures into the supernatural—encouraging a ghost who isn’t bold enough to scare those around him, flying above her neighbourhood on a magic rocking horse, and entering a haunted house alone, covered in a white sheet, when Tubby and the rest of the boys say she can’t come with them because she’s a girl. This is the third in Drawn & Quarterly’s best-of reprintings of one of the greatest comics of all time, penned by John Stanley. Younger readers will appreciate the audacity of these kids's pranks, while Stanley’s hilariously true-to-life portrayals of wacky children make these comics extra funny for older readers.
Download or read book Encyclopedia of the Vampire written by S. T. Joshi and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2010-11-04 with total page 753 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exhaustive work covering the full range of topics relating to vampires, including literature, film and television, and folklore. Encyclopedia of the Vampire: The Living Dead in Myth, Legend, and Popular Culture is a comprehensive encyclopedia relating to all phases of vampirism—in literature, film, and television; in folklore; and in world culture. Although previous encyclopedias have attempted to chart this terrain, no prior work contains the depth of information, the breadth of scope, and the up-to-date coverage of this volume. With contributions from many leading critics of horror and supernatural literature and media, the encyclopedia offers entries on leading authors of vampire literature (Bram Stoker, Anne Rice, Stephenie Meyer), on important individual literary works (Dracula and Interview with the Vampire), on celebrated vampire films (the many different adaptations of Dracula, the Twilight series, Love at First Bite), and on television shows (Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel). It also covers other significant topics pertaining to vampires, such as vampires in world folklore, humorous vampire films, and vampire lifestyle.
Download or read book Reading the Vampire written by Ken Gelder and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2002-08-27 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Insatiable bloodlust, dangerous sexualities, the horror of the undead, uncharted Trannsylvanian wildernesses, and a morbid fascination with the `other': the legend of the vampire continues to haunt popular imagination. Reading the Vampire examines the vampire in all its various manifestations and cultural meanings. Ken Gelder investigates vampire narratives in literature and in film, from early vampire stories like Sheridan Le Fanu's `lesbian vampire' tale Carmilla and Bram Stoker's Dracula, the most famous vampire narrative of all, to contemporary American vampire blockbusters by Stephen King and others, the vampire chronicles of Anne Rice, `post-Ceausescu' vampire narratives, and films such as FW Murnau's Nosferatu and Bram Stoker's Dracula. Reading the Vampire embeds vampires in their cultural contexts, showing vampire narratives feeding off the anxieties and fascinations of their times: from the nineteenth century perils of tourism, issues of colonialism and national identity, and obsessions with sex and death, to the `queer' identity of the vampire or current vampiric metaphors for dangerous exchanges of bodily fluids and AIDS.

His two best friends, Phinn and Croak, join him as he embarks on a thrilling adventure leaving his small town behind and traveling into the unknown.
