Download or read book The Cat on a Hot Thin Groove written by Gene Deitch and published by Fantagraphics Books. This book was released on 2013 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the long road to becoming an Oscar-winning animation director, Gene Deitch became an intense jazz fan. At the age of 21, he discovered The Record Changer magazine, a jazz fan magazine filled with obsessive, scholarly, and purist essays about jazz as well as listings of hard-to-find jazz albums. Every jazz swinger in the '40s was called a cat (as in “cool cat”), so Gene Deitch created a cartoon feature for Record Changer titled “The Cat,” which quickly became a fixture of the magazine. He also started drawing the covers, which graced almost every issue from 1945 to 1951 along with “The Cat.” Deitch's stylistically virtuoso images exquisitely embodied the essence of the 1950s hipster, and was a visual paean to the joy of collecting records and appreciating jazz. The Cat on a Hot Thin Groove collects all of Deitch's Record Changer work in one gorgeous, coffee-table art book, with commentary and reminiscences by Deitch himself. Originally published in 2003 in hardcover and out-of-print for almost a decade, this first-ever paperback edition will delight a new generation of fans.

Book excerpt: Two Men. A Bitter Rivalry. And a Quarter-Century of Unspeakable Horrors. Herbert West’s crimes against nature are well-known to those familiar with the darkest secrets of science and resurrection. Obsessed with finding a cure for mankind’s oldest malady, death itself, he has experimented upon the living and dead, leaving behind a trail of monsters, mayhem, and madness. But the story of his greatest rival has never been told.Until now. Dr. Stuart Hartwell, a colleague and contemporary of West, sets out to destroy West by uncovering the secrets of his terrible experiments, only to become that which he initially despised: a reanimator of the dead. For more than twenty years, spanning the early decades of the twentieth century, the two scientists race each other to master the mysteries of life . . . and unlife. From the grisly battlefields of the Great War to the backwoods hills and haunted coasts of Dunwich and Innsmouth, from the halls of fabled Miskatonic University to the sinking of the Titanic, their unholy quests will leave their mark upon the world—and create monsters of them both. Reanimators is an epic tale of historical horror . . . in the tradition of Anno Dracula and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.
Download or read book The Great Cat written by Emily Fragos and published by Everyman's Library. This book was released on 2005-05-03 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This delightful anthology gives us a teeming litter of literary tributes to the ever-fascinating, ever-mystifying cat. The feline has inspired poetic adoration since the days of the pharaohs, and the poems collected here cover an astonishing range of periods, cultures, and styles. Poets across the continents and centuries have described the feline family–from kittens to old toms, pussycats to panthers–doing what they do best: sleeping, prowling, prancing, purring, sleeping some more, and gazing disdainfully at lesser beings like ourselves. Here are Yeats’s Minnaloushe, Christopher Smart’s Jeoffry, Lewis Carroll’s Cheshire Cat, T. S. Eliot’s Rum Tum Tugger, William Blake’s tyger and Rilke’s panther. Here are tributes from Sufi mystics, medieval Chinese poets, and haiku masters of imperial Japan, from Chaucer, Shelley, Borges, Neruda, Dickinson, and Shakespeare. Here are the cats of Mother Goose, and the one who wore the hat for Dr. Seuss. The Great Cat will delight cat lovers everywhere, celebrating as it does the beauty, the mystery, the gravity, the grace, and, of course, the unassailable superiority of the cat.
Download or read book Edmond s Visionary Path written by Edmond L. Campbell and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2011-08 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edmond's Visionary Path is a book showing my life through visions that includes my past, present, and future. This book shows visions reaching into the lives of everyone on earth, and how they will influence changes in our lives if we do not make changes first. It gives us advance notice concerning change in our climate, showing the American Gulf Coast, and the South China Sea freezing in the future, the Gulf Coast by 2014. The visions speak of the three major religions, and they cover parts of the Christian Bible concerning Cain and Abel, Moses, Ezra, Daniel, and the wearer of the Star of David. They cover an event that leaves Egypt, the Israelite cities, and the Temple all in waste. In one vision, there were no people in Egypt at all, and in the Israelite cities, many dead were on the ground. It also speaks about Acts chapter 29 of the Bible. I realize our Bible only carries twenty-eight chapters, but there is one lost chapter of Acts that should be there. In addition, we must be aware of the genetic rift in our human structure which was started by mistakes from the days of Atlantis. These visions also cover US Presidents, the health care plan, and whether our health care plan will cover all of us, plus mind-control testing, and how AT&T and Bell Atlantic started school programs. They also speak directly about how we may be caught unaware, that everything will not be okay the way it is, and changes must be made for what will come.
