In the quaint Oregon village of Maidenwell, Gina Biletti’s life takes an unexpected turn when human bones are unearthed at a construction site. This chilling discovery resurrects old stories about the Yeechee cult, which had occupied the village during the late 1980s.

Charged by her secretive boss Matthias Loneskum with unearthing the truth about the bones before the media starts sniffing around, Gina once again finds herself thrust into the role of amateur sleuth. Yet, as she digs deeper, it’s clear that the treasure the Yeechee were after is more than mere legend—and that someone is willing to kill for it. Can Gina solve the mystery before the whispers of the past demand her silence—permanently? Get ready for a suspenseful, fast-paced journey filled with humor, heart, and more twists and turns than Gina’s well-used wine corkscrew.

Download or read book Living in Death written by T.D. Peter and published by Partridge Publishing. This book was released on 2013-07-21 with total page 443 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The uncertainty of ones life and the inevitability of death is a dilemma that has tormented the human mind in all ages. One way of resolving the conundrum has been to imagine, if not firmly believe, that the individual self is immortal and deathless, notwithstanding the fact that the physical body must perish. If nothing, it weans one away from the fear of death towards an earnest hope in a blissful afterlife. Living in Death is a scholarly critique on the death poetry of Emily Dickinson and T. S. Eliot. By deftly comparing their styles, diction, and motifs, Dr. T. D. Peter unravels the beauty of contemplating and courting the compelling presence of death as an unshakeable ontological reality. The author looks through the mirror of the death poetry of two signature poets of the nineteenth and twentieth centuriesthe former, an inimitable and indwelling poetic genius who defies classification and transcends time and trends; the latter, a trail-blazing and celebrated scion of modern classical poetry who impresses with his erudition and edification, imagism, and symbolism. He finds more by way of contrast than similarity in their strikingly opposite life lines and, no less, to their varying allegiance to faith and reason, religion and spirituality.

These are communications, grand exhortations, dark and magical confrontations with consciousness: "The weather announces the grace of a marvelous cunning, sparkling on the surface which might not even be found in the darkness of the well, or on the roulette table where the candelabra (a lost memory) conspires with the dragonfly (a symbol of unrest) as elegant and lovely as a crossbow filled with early morning mayhem. "I adore you" she whispered, and died in your arms, a small planet, a diamond cutter's blade, a single kiss, a drop of venom..." This version also contains the Notebook of the Wolf House.
Download or read book Post Conflict Hauntings written by Kim Wale and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-07-02 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book engages the globally pressing question of how to live and work with the haunting power of the past in the aftermath of mass violence. It brings together a collection of interdisciplinary contributions to reflect on the haunting of post-conflict memory from the perspective of diverse country case studies including South Africa, Rwanda, Zimbabwe, Northern Ireland, North and South Korea, Palestine and Israel, America and Australia. Contributions offer theoretical, empirical and practical insights on the nature of historical trauma and practices of collective healing and repair that include embodied, artistic and culturally relevant forms of wisdom for dealing with the past. While this question has traditionally been explored through the lens of trauma studies in relation to the post-Holocaust experience, this book provides new understandings from a variety of different historical contexts and disciplinary perspectives. Its chapters draw on, challenge and expand the trauma concept to propose more contextually relevant frameworks for transforming haunted memory in the aftermath of historical trauma.
