Download or read book Sandcastle and Other Stories written by Justin Bog and published by Justin Bog. This book was released on 2016-06-23 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Pardon my French, but you are one darn major American writer!"-Richard Bach The twelve literary, suspense tales and dark vignettes collected in Sandcastle and Other Stories are nothing short of an adventure through a roiling sea of emotion. You'll listen as an old man twisted by fate and a lost love shares his life's journey . . . marvel at a young girl playing on the ocean shore as she becomes entangled in nets of a mercurial god . . . witness a divorced man become mired in troubles after he's coerced into taking a singles cruise . . . follow a Hollywood actor in a television drama who's always typecast as the bad boy . . . struggle along with a child kept awake by night terrors, and, most shockingly, observe a woman who hides her secretive personality from everyone on the beach one sunny day. The genuine voices of the characters, mixed with a clear-eyed tonal directness, make this a series with mesmerizing psychological interaction. Sandcastle and Other Stories spans a broad depth of human understanding and builds a bridge between the deepest chasms of human frailty, and, by the last tale, the highest portal of redemption. Read and stand witness to unspeakable hate sitting with cozy wile, right beside unconditional love-a provocative and compelling mirror on the human condition. "Bog has a keen eye for what makes people tick, especially when their clockwork is decidedly rusty and the urges it drives are less than ideal. These stories take a microscopic view at the ordinary that, in turn, molds it into something uncanny. The underlying darkness takes different forms with each one, but never is it absent, and never does it feel anything less than utterly natural."-Josh Black, horror novel reviews

In The Blue Wonder, marine biologist and diver Frauke Bagusche brings readers on a fascinating and beautiful deep-sea dive into the ocean. Drawing on scientific discoveries and her own research, she uses photographs and playful prose to reveal: deep-sea reefs that glitter like glass fish that converse with each other by singing––loudly an octopus that imitates more than fifteen other animals the secret behind why the sea glows at night “weddings” that happen amongst the coral underwater “drugstores” and even fish that clean her own teeth! Humans know more about the moon’s surface than we do about the ocean. There is so much to be discovered, under the sea. With the heart of a poet and the mind of a scientist, Frauke Bagusche re-awakens our love for the sea and ignites a desire to protect this vital habitat.
