He has just received a research grant to study the ghost towns and abandoned mines that litter the landscape. But when he comes across a group of desert-dwelling outcasts and is taken captive by their charismatic leader Jacoby, he is introduced to an alternative way of life: one that both repulses and mesmerizes. As he struggles to make sense of this strange new world – with its perverse and unorthodox practices – Norman begins to realize he must either yield to the ever-watchful Jacoby, or take his chances and run. Ireland’s refined and sparse style cuts through to the dark heart of the American dream in this chilling novel about the thin lines that separate the civilized from the primitive, and the living from the dead.

Download or read book The Ghosts That Haunt Me written by Steve Ryan and published by Dundurn. This book was released on 2022-09-13 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After years working in homicide, retired Toronto detective Steve Ryan reflects on six cases he will never forget. Retired detective Steve Ryan worked in Toronto’s homicide squad for over a decade. For Ryan, the stories of Toronto’s most infamous crimes were more than just a headline read over morning coffee — they were his everyday life. After investigating over one hundred homicides, Ryan can never forget the tragedies and the victims, even after his retirement from the police force. In The Ghosts That Haunt Me, he reflects on six of the many cases that greatly impacted him — seven people whose lives were senselessly taken — and that he still thinks about nearly every day. While the stories are hard to tell for Ryan, they were harder to live through. Yet somewhere between the crimes and the heartache is a glimmer of hope that good eventually does prevail and that healing can come after grief.

Download or read book Joyce s Ghosts written by Luke Gibbons and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2015-11-13 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Luke Gibbons, a prominent Irish scholar and Joycean, here offers the first study to make a full and strong argument that Joyce's Irishness is intrinsic to his modernism. It was common in the first generations of Joycean criticism to attribute Joyce's modernism to European exile, and to portray Ireland as a romantic backwater, the source of the nets from which Joyce was trying to escape. Gibbons argues, by contrast, that the pressures of late colonial Ireland, a country at once inside and outside the world system, provided the ferment that gave rise to Joyce's most distinctive literary experiments. Crucially, Gibbons holds that Ireland features not just as "subject matter" or "content," but as "form." Gibbons further argues that Joyce's major achievement was to pioneer an idiom in which narrative is freighted with voices from both inside and outside a culture. Joyce's use of free indirect discourse opens inner life to other voices and shadowy presences produced by a late colonial culture at odds with its own identity. In this sense, Gibbons shows, Joyce's language is haunted by ghosts, by voices testifying to forces--technology, empire, urbanization--off the page. This book is sure to become a landmark study of this enduring and widely read novelist, and advances our understanding of the connections between modernism and the nation.

Download or read book The Spooky Ghost School written by AQEEL AHMED and published by AQEEL AHMED. This book was released on 2023-09-20 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The charming children's book "Sammy the Friendly Ghost and the Spooky Ghost School" takes place in Whispering Pines, where a nice ghost named Sammy lives. Sammy is a nice person who likes to meet new people and spread happiness among the living. One day, he hears older ghosts talking about a strange place called the Spooky Ghost School, which attracts his attention. Sammy's eagerness to learn takes him on an incredible trip to the Spooky Ghost School. When he gets there, he is met by a big, scary mansion made of moonlight that is see-through. Inside, he finds a world where ghosts go to school and meets other ghosts of different sizes and shapes who are also getting better at being ghosts. One of these new friends is Bella, a friendly ghost who greets Sammy and shows him around the school. Sammy says he wants to learn how to scare people, so Bella tells him that the Spooky Ghost School is the best place for him to do that. Sammy starts his training under Bella's watch, and he quickly learns how to float through walls, make things move, and make scary noises. The other ghosts are gentle and supportive, which helps Sammy get better at what he does. Sammy's favorite thing about school is making spirit friends like Casper, Lily, and Timmy, who all have their own skills and traits. One night, Bella thinks it would be fun to have a contest to see who can scare the living the most. Sammy decides that instead of making the living afraid of him, he will surprise and amuse them. Sammy's touching act during the competition, in which he surprised a little girl with a bouquet of ghostly moonlight flowers, steals the show. His performance makes the judges feel good and reinforces their belief that kindness and hope are the most amazing ghostly illusions. Sammy's win is a turning point for the Spooky Ghost School. It shows how important kind acts and spooky unity are. Sammy's friendly personality keeps drawing in the live people of Whispering Pines, making him the friendliest ghost in town. He goes back to the Spooky Ghost School often to share his special skills and bring happiness to both the living and the dead. Sammy's story tells us that even though the world is full of ghosts and scary things, kindness and friendship are the best and most lasting magic of all. His memory lives on in the minds of everyone who knew him and brings love, laughter, and eternal joy to Whispering Pines. Here's how the story starts: Everyone knew that Sammy was a nice and helpful ghost who lived in Whispering Pines, a beautiful town that seemed to be stuck in twilight forever. Sammy wasn't like any other ghost. To say he was unique would be an insult. His ghostly nature gave off a nice feeling, which made him a respected figure among the people who lived in Whispering Pines. Sammy's ethereal life was focused on one positive goal: linking with the living and bringing happiness to them like stardust. Every night when there was a full moon, he would come out of the ethereal world, his translucent body shining with an extraordinary light that made the night's chill seem like nothing. Sammy's eyes sparkled with mischief, and his constant grin was both peaceful and mysterious. On one of these lovely nights, as Sammy slid easily through Whispering Pines, fate told him something interesting. He heard older, more experienced ghosts meeting in secret while he was floating near the shady eaves of an old oak tree. Their voices sounded like they were coming from a long time ago because of how old and worn they sounded. Their ghostly figures moved softly, and the spiritual light that surrounded them danced to the beat of their stories. Their talk, which was full of ghostly secrets, was mostly about a place that made Sammy's spine shiver: the famous Spooky Ghost School. Even just mentioning this mysterious place seemed to bring up an uneasy feeling that hung in the air like a spell. Sammy was mesmerized as the older ghosts told stories and whispered secrets about the cool school. It was said to be a place where ghosts and other magical things got together to work on their skills and figure out how to do their jobs. Sammy's spirit heart was both scared and excited about what was going to happen. How old are the walls of this Spooky Ghost School? What tales do they hold? What secrets and wonders did it hold for those who were brave enough to walk through its ghostly gates? As Sammy listened to every whispered word and story about the Spooky Ghost School, he felt a strong pull toward this land he had never seen. His never-ending spirit of adventure made him want to know more and more. This made his interest shine brighter than the moon, which was the only light on his path. He knew with all of his soul that he had to start on this wonderful journey. Sammy's life as a friendly ghost has always been marked by his never-ending thirst for knowledge and his never-ending need for company. It looked like fate had added a new thread to the fabric of his ghostly life, leading him into the unknown. Sammy's trip to the Spooky Ghost School started under the watchful eyes of the moon and the bright stars. He didn't know that this way would lead him to a world beyond the veil of the living, where scary secrets and ghostly wonders awaited him. Every night, Sammy's transparent body floated closer to the school's huge gates. He could feel the tendrils of fate wrapping around him and tying him to the strange place that held the key to the world's haunting secrets. Sammy asked himself, "The Spooky Ghost School?" His ghostly voice was hard to hear over the rustling of the stars. His ghostly form floated in the stillness of the night, bathed in the pale, silvery light of the moon that ran through the canopy of Whispering Pines' whispering trees. As he thought about the mysterious word, a strange light danced in his ghostly eyes, like two circles of moonlight. His airy hand could only touch the threads of interest that entangled his own existence, but he reached out as if to touch the idea that had formed in the night air. It was a name that was wrapped in mystery, a riddle that called with a strong pull. Sammy had a golden heart and was known for being very curious and always wanting to make friends with living people. He'd spent a lot of starry nights making people in Whispering Pines happy, his happy personality a bright spot in the town's creepy darkness. Still, just the thought of the Spooky Ghost School made him more interested than even his constant ghostly grin. Sammy couldn't help but wonder what secrets were behind the big gates of the Spooky Ghost School as he floated there, listening to the crickets and the wind. In its abstract form, the name made me think of a cold but exciting feeling, like the touch of cold air on a winter night. What was this place, and how come he had never heard of it? Thoughts like ghostly wraiths flew through his phantom mind, and the more he thought about it, the greater the pull toward the unknown became. It was a pull on his spirit existence that made him want to go into parts of the otherworldly he hadn't seen yet. Sammy made a secret promise to himself at that moment, a promise that would lead him on an amazing trip into the heart of the Spooky Ghost School. He had no idea that this choice would lead him on an adventure that would show him not only the secrets of the ghost business, but also how good he was at being a ghost himself. The Spooky Ghost School was waiting for him, shrouded in mystery, and steeped in magic. While the moon continued to watch over Whispering Pines from the sky, Sammy's ghostly form began its trip into the unknown, led by whispers of the mysterious school's name. The Spooky Ghost School was a place with a lot of history and mystery. It was hidden somewhere in the ethereal areas, beyond the living world. Few ghosts knew it existed, and even the most experienced ghosts shivered when they heard its name whispered. The school's history had been lost to time, and its beauty was covered by layers of phantom magic. The school was a large, impressive mansion made of moonlight and starlight. It was in a spectral dimension that linked to the mortal realm. Its design was a strange mix of Gothic towers and Victorian elegance, and the walls sparkled like mist. The huge gates were made of airy iron, and the beautiful writing on them seemed to move and change with every ghostly breeze.
