Book Trisha s 31 Nights of Fright

Download or read book Trisha s 31 Nights of Fright written by Trisha Paytas and published by . This book was released on 2014-09-19 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carrie. The Exorcist. Scream. The Thing. These are the movies that chill the blood and leave viewers huddled under the blankets at night. Of course, not every horror flick can boast such prestige. Leprechaun in the Hood is more likely to generate groans and catcalls than screams, while the dialogue in a gem like Texas Chainsaw Massacre: the Next Generation makes what's intended to be a screamfest into unintentional comedy. Join Trisha Paytas as she explores the wild, terrifying, and sometimes whacky world of slasher flicks and screamfests under the able guidance of horror movie writer Jeff Rendell. Together, the duo introduce thirty-one of the best and worst in horror-films so terrifying they haunt viewers for years, and those goofy flicks so bad they're good. Paytas watches well-known classics of the genre, as well as obscure works important for their influence or their connection to the broader world of cinema. Did you know before directing The Lord of the Rings Peter Jackson was best known for directing a New Zealand slasher flick called Dead Alive, widely considered one of the goriest movies ever made? Or that the flick includes an epic (and hilarious) man vs. zombie baby battle in a public park? Paytas shares one movie for every day in October. Each movie is rated by Fright Factor, Gore, and Body Count, with a wry synopsis so funny it's as entertaining as the movie itself. "Why It's Awesome" and "Why It Sucks" sections quickly bring you up to speed on a flick's best and worst features-with the caveat that it's sometimes the campiest of horror flicks that provide the most fun. After all, some days you want Piper Laurie's chilling portrayal of the religiously crazed mother in Carrie, and sometimes you want a heavily made-up Warrick Davis as a rapping Leprechaun. So lower the lights, grab your favorite movie snacks, and join Paytas and Rendell on their odyssey through abject terror, terrifyingly dark powers, chainsaws, leprechauns, and demons. Just remember, it's not their fault if you can't sleep when it's all over.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learn to communicate with your dog—using their language “Good reading for dog lovers and an immensely useful manual for dog owners.”—The Washington Post An Applied Animal Behaviorist and dog trainer with more than twenty years’ experience, Dr. Patricia McConnell reveals a revolutionary new perspective on our relationship with dogs—sharing insights on how “man’s best friend” might interpret our behavior, as well as essential advice on how to interact with our four-legged friends in ways that bring out the best in them. After all, humans and dogs are two entirely different species, each shaped by its individual evolutionary heritage. Quite simply, humans are primates and dogs are canids (as are wolves, coyotes, and foxes). Since we each speak a different native tongue, a lot gets lost in the translation. This marvelous guide demonstrates how even the slightest changes in our voices and in the ways we stand can help dogs understand what we want. Inside you will discover: • How you can get your dog to come when called by acting less like a primate and more like a dog • Why the advice to “get dominance” over your dog can cause problems • Why “rough and tumble primate play” can lead to trouble—and how to play with your dog in ways that are fun and keep him out of mischief • How dogs and humans share personality types—and why most dogs want to live with benevolent leaders rather than “alpha wanna-bes!” Fascinating, insightful, and compelling, The Other End of the Leash is a book that strives to help you connect with your dog in a completely new way—so as to enrich that most rewarding of relationships.

Book excerpt: In 2015, a race of alien Others conquered Earth. They enslaved humanity not by force, but through an aggressive mind control that turned people into contented, unquestioning robots. Except sixteen-year-old Althea isn’t content at all, and she doesn’t need the mysterious note inside her locket to tell her she’s Something Else. It also warns her to trust no one, so she hides the pieces that make her different, even though it means being alone. The autumn she meets Lucas, everything changes. Althea and Lucas are immune to the alien mind control, and together they search for the reason why. What they uncover is a stunning truth the Others never anticipated, one with the potential to free the brainwashed human race. It’s not who they are that makes them special, but what. And what they are is a threat. One the Others are determined to eliminate for good.

Shortly after 9:00 p.m. on April 19, 1989, a young woman jogs alone near 102nd Street in New York City's Central Park. She is attacked, raped, savagely beaten, and left for dead.

Download or read book White Fragility written by Dr. Robin DiAngelo and published by Beacon Press. This book was released on 2018-06-26 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New York Times best-selling book exploring the counterproductive reactions white people have when their assumptions about race are challenged, and how these reactions maintain racial inequality. In this “vital, necessary, and beautiful book” (Michael Eric Dyson), antiracist educator Robin DiAngelo deftly illuminates the phenomenon of white fragility and “allows us to understand racism as a practice not restricted to ‘bad people’ (Claudia Rankine). Referring to the defensive moves that white people make when challenged racially, white fragility is characterized by emotions such as anger, fear, and guilt, and by behaviors including argumentation and silence. These behaviors, in turn, function to reinstate white racial equilibrium and prevent any meaningful cross-racial dialogue. In this in-depth exploration, DiAngelo examines how white fragility develops, how it protects racial inequality, and what we can do to engage more constructively.

I was six years old the day Lewis Holt came to take me away. Born into slavery, light-skinned Dahlia never knew her mother--or what happened to her. When Dahlia's father, the owner of Vesterville plantation, takes her to work in his home as a servant, she's desperately lonely. Forced to leave behind her best friend, Bo, she lives in a world between black and white, belonging to neither. Ten years later, Dahlia meets Timothy Ross, an Englishman in need of a wife. Reinventing herself as Lily Dove, Dahlia allows Timothy to believe she's white, with no family to speak of, and agrees to marry him. She knows the danger of being found out. She also knows she'll never have this chance at freedom again. Ensconced in the Ross mansion, Dahlia soon finds herself held captive in a different way--as the dutiful wife of a young plantation owner who has set his sights on a political future. But when Bo arrives on the estate in shackles, Dahlia decides to risk everything to save his life. With suspicions of her true identity growing and a bounty hunter not far behind, Dahlia must act fast or pay a devastating price.
