Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Here is a work that emphasizes the full view of the lives of those young people that Gacy took. . . . It is essentially the Gacy story in reverse. Victims first." —Jeff Coen, author of Murder in Canaryville As investigators brought out the bagged remains of several dozen young men from a small Chicago ranch home and paraded them in front of a crowd of TV reporters and spectators, attention quickly turned to the owner of the house. John Gacy was an upstanding citizen, active in local politics and charities, famous for his themed parties and appearances as Pogo the Clown. But in the winter of 1978–79, he became known as one of many so-called "sex murderers" who had begun gaining notoriety in the random brutality of the 1970s. As public interest grew rapidly, victims became footnotes and statistics, lives lost not just to violence, but to history. Through the testimony of siblings, parents, friends, lovers, and other witnesses close to the case, Boys Enter the House retraces the footsteps of these victims as they make their way to the doorstep of the Gacy house itself.

Download or read book Church Boy Love written by Dr Adrian D. Nelson and published by Fulton Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2021-06-03 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever been in that chapter of your life where everything that could possibly go wrong does so you just want to curse God and die or you question if God even really exists? What would you do if you simply wanted to live the blessed life of a devoted Christian, to excel in school, to make your family proud, to find true love and live happily ever after yet everything came crashing down when evil interrupted? In the '80s, Street was a lost soul and once a devoted Christian teenage boy living in Jamaica; he backslid after a series of devastating life-changing events over the years led him to doubt and to create this bizarre test game in certain situations to have God or the devil prove their existence to him. The devil constantly did. He lost his faith and resorted to dancing to fill that void by forming a break dance group called the Street Boys. They became popular, and he became content. But it didn't last. With evil and trouble constantly tormenting him, the Street Boys eventually transitioned into a ruthless street gang to defend themselves against their rivals and enemies. But amidst all the street fights and mayhem that consumed him, he one day found solace-love in a Christian girl, which eventually led him back to Christ. Happy ending, you might think, but far from it! The twists, turns, and shockers that accompanied his new relationship with her led to more mayhem, bloodshed, and heartbreak-and even worse, an ending that no one ever saw coming or could have even predicted. This story is based on actual events.

Download or read book The Nelson Boys written by Daniel R Lee and published by Dane Valley Press. This book was released on 2019-08-30 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Nelson Boys is a gritty, six-part drama based on a suburban council estate in South London. This story follows the lead character, Vince Nelson's return to the estate from his self-exile to Thailand (via prison) for the first time in twenty years. There are a number of reasons he has not returned before, reasons that will soon become apparent. Vince is one of seven parentless brothers, brothers who have had to fend for themselves in a corrupt, isolated environment. Vince now finds himself at his brother Danny's bedside in hospital, where he is fighting for his life. Danny is said to have been a victim of a mugging, or at least this is what the Nelson Boys are told. In the search for answers, Vince is on a one-man mission to get to the bottom of what has happened to Danny. However, Vince is about to discover he has been deserted by his closest friends, lied to by the people he loves, cheated on by the ones he holds dearest and punished for things he hasn't done. Over the six episodes each character's intertwined backstory is pieced together through a series of flashbacks and confessions, to reveal the truth behind a series of events that some would have hoped to have been long forgotten. Vince comes with a tough reputation and a violent background and now, with a reason for returning, things are about to get interesting.

Download or read book Nelson written by Ernle Bradford and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2014-04-01 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A gripping biography of Admiral Nelson, Napoleonic War hero and one of Britain’s greatest naval tacticians. In the Battle of Trafalgar, Admiral Horatio Lord Nelson sent the signal from his flagship HMS Victory, “England expects that every man will do his duty.” His defeat of the French that day in 1805 was a decisive turning point in the Napoleonic Wars, establishing British control of the seas. His death in that heroic battle gave those words immortal significance. For his bravery in battle and brilliance as a naval tactician, Admiral Nelson remains one of Britain’s most inspiring heroes. In this nuanced and lively biography, Ernle Bradford presents the man behind the legend. From his youthful days in the Royal Navy to his famous battles and scandalous personal life, Horatio Nelson is shown here in all his human complexity. “This skillful portrait . . . combines accessible naval history with a psychological examination of heroism.” —Kirkus Reviews
Download or read book Battling Nelson the Durable Dane written by Mark Allen Baker and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2016-12-09 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oscar “Battling” Nelson (1882–1954) was perhaps the toughest professional boxer ever to enter the ring. Although a Hall of Fame inductee, Nelson remains a lesser known great of boxing lore. From the beginning of his career at 14, the Danish immigrant presented himself as a man of integrity who never smoked, drank or took a dive. In the ring and in public, Battling Nelson crafted a Renaissance man image as a lightweight champion, reporter, entertainer, real estate mogul, entrepreneur and ladies’ man. The first ever champion in his weight class to mount a comeback, he strove to break new ground (even if he wasn’t always successful). This book tells the story of a ring legend whose endurance was second to none and whose trilogy with Joe Gans is one of the great rivalries in sports history.
