However, a growing terror leads them on a harrowing journey through an unspeakable shroud of horror. This poetic story and many of the authors literary works await the reader in Denizens of the Dark Eyes. "Impressive work." - Writer's Digest International Self-Published Book Awards Judge's Commentary What did you like best about this book? I like the hard work reflected in these poems, well over 100 of them. The author clearly works and reworks his poems to get the rhyme and meter desired. He writes in tight, short lines, making the rhyming even more difficult; some lines have only four words and that's impressive work. I also liked his willingness to write about very personal topics, like "Ode to a Cancer Cell." And he also manages to capture hours of action into a few lines and make a statement about society as well in a poem like "Sunday Cinema." And I liked the use of metaphor as in "The Attic Upstairs" which speaks not only to objects that have been put away for storage but, of course, mental memorabilia as well. How can the author improve this book? My only suggestion for reconsideration, should this volume be reprinted, is the choice of titles. The title suggests a volume of dark poems, poems about loss and loneliness, about death and dying, about dead friends and frustrated dreams. While some poems touch on these subjects, the majority of the poems are not nearly as negative in nature and thus may either be missed by a reader thinking the title implies poems too negative to be enjoyed, or disappointing a reader looking for melancholy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover the intricately plotted, action-packed, animal-based fantasy series that New York Times #1 bestselling author KELLY ARMSTRONG calls “A thrilling tale.” Scion of the Fox: The Realms of Ancient, Book 1 Roan Harken considers herself a typical high school student — dead parents, an infected eyeball, and living in the house of her estranged, currently comatose grandmother (well, maybe not so typical) — but she’s uncovering the depth of the secrets her family left behind. Saved from the grasp of Death itself by a powerful fox spirit named Sil, Roan must harness mysterious ancient power… and quickly. Zabor lies in wait in the bed of the frozen Assiniboine River, a snake-monster hungry for the sacrifice of spirit-blood in exchange for keeping the flood waters at bay. Thrust onto an ancient battlefield, Roan soon realizes that to maintain the balance of the world, she will have to sacrifice more than her life in order to take her place as Scion of the Fox. Children of the Bloodlands: The Realms of Ancient, Book 2 The dazzling second book in S.M. Beiko’s Realms of Ancient series follows Roan and her four friends as they part ways to fight new battles across the globe. A wicked monster called Seela has risen from the ashy Bloodlands and is wreaking havoc on the world while children in Edinburgh are afflicted by a strange plague; Eli travels to Seoul to face judgment and is nearly murdered; Natti endures a taxing journey with two polar bears; Phae tries desperately to obtain the key to the Underworld; and Barton joins a Family-wide coalition as the last defense against an enemy that will stop at nothing to undo Ancient’s influence on Earth — before there is no longer an Earth to fight for. Darkness, death, and the ancient powers that shape the world will collide as our heroes discover that some children collapse under their dark inheritance, and those who don’t are haunted by blood. The Brilliant Dark: The Realms of Ancient, Book 3 In the final installment of S.M. Beiko’s thrilling YA fantasy trilogy, Roan Harken must decide if she’s willing to pay the ultimate price to protect the family she’s found. But nothing is ever that simple. The Brilliant Dark is the final, thrilling chapter in this series about gods, monsters, and the people who must decide if they’re willing to pay the ultimate price to protect the family they found… in a world that may not be worthy of saving.

Download or read book Black Bear s Book written by Joseph T. Falco and published by Dorrance Publishing. This book was released on 2022-11-21 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Black Bear's Book By: Joseph T. Falco Native American lore captured the heart and mind of Joseph Taylor Falco at a very early age. One could always find him in the forest looking for Native American relics or the edge of a lake or stream looking for trout. He also has a close connection to the ocean, where he spent many hours with his father on the fifty-foot Hatteras fishing boat "The Beagle" searching for the "big one," fishing for tuna and marlin. Having majored in history at Holy Cross University, he developed an uncanny ability to sort through some of the mysteries that swirl around the famous shaman of North America and their way of life. Through his writings, the reader is able to more fully understand the process that made this book possible. His love of the natural world and his unique spiritual connection to it is revealed throughout. Afterwards, readers will leave with a feeling that they have stepped back in time and glimpsed the true Native American way of life. A genius by modern-day standards, Falco's mind goes beyond the realm of present reality and into a dimension that only he can see and feel. That dramatic backstory, combined with the inspirational aspect of his writing, will provide hours of reading pleasure that goes well beyond the literary realm. It is his hope that the stories, poems, and pictures in this book will, in some small way, help those of us who cannot see into this dimension better understand the Native People of this great country.

Book excerpt: White Theology re-examines white race privilege throughout history and its relationship to black theology. James W. Perkinson articulates a white theology of responsibility responding to the claims of James Cone (and other black scholars) that serious engagement with history and culture must be at the heart of any American projection of integrity or "salvation" in the modern period.
