CHARLES HOY FORT (1874-1932), life-long naturalist and independent journalist, wrote ten novels, though only one, The Outcast Manufacturers (1906), was published in the U.S. - critics said it was ahead of its time, but it was commercially unsuccessful. His most recognized work, The Book of the Damned (1919), referred to "damned data" that Fort collected, phenomena for which science could not account and was thus rejected or ignored. Upon his death in 1932, more than 60,000 notes were donated to The New York Public Library.

Download or read book Psience Fiction written by Damien Broderick and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2018-05-12 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Science fiction has often been considered the literature of futuristic technology: fantastic warfare among the stars or ruinous apocalypses on Earth. The last century, however, saw, through John W. Campbell, the introduction of "psience fiction," which explores such themes of mental powers as telepathy, precognition of the future, teleportation, etc.--and symbolic machines that react to such forces. The author surveys this long-ignored literary shift through a series of influential novels and short stories published between the 1930s and the present. This discussion is framed by the sudden surge of interest in parapsychology and its absorption not only into the SF genre, but also into the real world through military experiments such as the Star Gate Program.

Download or read book A Scholar of Magics written by Caroline Stevermer and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2006-03-07 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Glasscastle. University of dreaming towers and distant bells, pompous dons and disputatious undergraduates, exquisite architecture and grass that can choke you to death if you walk on it without the proper escort. On the surface, it is one of the most beautiful and peaceful places in England. But underneath, its magic is ancient and dangerous. Samuel Lambert, sharpshooter, adventurer, late of the Wyoming plains and Kiowa Bob's Wild West Show, has been invited to Glasscastle to contribute his phemomenally accurate shooting eye to the top secret Agincourt Project. The only dangers he expects to face are British snobbery, heavy dinners, and tea with the Provost's pretty wife. But when the Provost's stylish sister Jane comes to town, things get much more exciting. This sparkling sequel to A College of Magics is a whirlwind of secret weapons, motor cars, mysterious assaults and abductions, thugs in bowler hats, and a mild-mannered don who is heir to a magical power greater than all Glasscastle. The resulting tale is as funny as a Gilbert and Sullivan Victorian romp, with the wit and suspense of a Dorothy Sayers mystery and a dash of John Wayne thrown in for good measure. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Download or read book Legion written by Steven Carlton and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2000-12-20 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if magic was real? Not the magic of tribal shaman, Indian mystics, Wiccan witches, nor even the legerdemain of telephone psychics, but real honest-to-goodness magic. The Christian Bible is full of references to real magic, from Moses to a pantheon of Angels and demons, Powers which walk the Earth and skulk in shadows, the mythos of the supernatural. And demons. The Biblical demon, the Legion, was only banished, its diabolical power only diminished, when it was confronted with the Son of God. What if it came back? Returning to Earth after almost 2000 years, the demon has a mission: to open a gateway to Hell, shift the infernal balance of power, and trigger an Armageddon which makes Revelations pale in comparison. Standing against the demon is an ancient order of sorcerers and warriors, descended from the Angels themselves. But the demon, able to possess more than a thousand people simultaneously, may prove too powerful for even them, and the world's fate will rest on the shoulders of a seventeen year old girl warrior-in-training, and the mysterious powers of her equally enigmatic boyfriend.

Book excerpt: What if there were an agency devoted to ensuring the disparity and conflict continued? What if that agency was secretly funded by our own government? If you knew what was going on and could change it, but at the expense of your own life, would you? Bob-0 and Maury are psychics, chained since birth to the Crown, an agency that works to erode human rights and further empower those already in the upper echelons. Then there's Erin. Since she was a young girl she's had the ability to read minds, but has sought to suppress it. She learns of the Crown and is drawn in, but doesn't suspect the true motives of the Machiavellian establishment she's lured into. How long before the veneer slips, and will she be able to get away when that time comes? Bob-0 is part denouncement of politics, part conspiracy theory and, deep within its core, the story of one man trying to understand the value of truth in a world that would prefer to remain oblivious.

Book excerpt: From the author of The Many-Colored Land comes the saga of a land beyond the horizon, where the quest for power is eternal, where magic and mystery are feared above all, and one man sought to reign. On a remote island, far in the Boreal Sea, four kingdoms have struggled against one another since time out of mind. Most mysterious is the marshland kingdom of Moss—feared by the others and ruled by the Sorcerers. Soon, all will be put in peril’s way. In recent years, three of the kingdoms have suffered fearsome volcanic eruptions that choke crops, famine among people, and an ailing leader on his deathbed. Only Moss, poverty-stricken and desolate at the best of times, seems untroubled. But Prince Conrig of Cathra, who waits patiently as his father, the king, wastes slowly away, is in league with his lover, the seductive sorceress Princess Ullanoth of Moss. And if their secret alliance succeeds in its goal, the warring kingdoms of High Blenholme will be united once and for all—under the iron hand of one supreme rule.

Download or read book Alterkine The Ones We Were written by Jeff Becker and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014-04-27 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ones We Were is intended for 3-6 characters of levels 3-5.Welcome to a world where, yes, it can get worse...and usually does. Anything is possible, but the possibilities often wind up have scales, fangs, claws, and a particular penchant for snacking on human flesh. Here, you'll find the deranged, the deviant, and the deadly. And that's not even talking about the monsters yet. While perhaps a darker world, Alterkine still provides many opportunities for daring fights and feats that set the commoner apart from the true hero--or simply the unlucky dead from the skin-of-their-teeth survivors. Or you might just be in it for the cash, or because you harbor a nasty lust for violence and death that blurs the line between monster and man. Whatever the case, you knew the risks when you chose this life, and now it's just a question of whether you'll live long enough to collect on your next paycheck.
