Book excerpt: Windwood Farm has a terrible secret–one that's been buried for nearly 100 years. Taryn Magill aims to uncover it…or die trying. As a mixed media artist and urban explorer with a love for abandoned houses and a big imagination when it comes to the past, 30 year old Taryn has never really met an old house she didn't like. In fact, she's made a career out of painting these sad, often derelict structures, to show them in their former glory for her clients. With Windwood Farm, though, she might have bitten off more than she can chew! The locals refer to it as “the devil's house” and even vandals have stayed away from this once grand stone farmhouse in Vidalia, Kentucky. Hired by the Stokes County Historical Society to paint it before it's demolished by a land development company, Taryn's determined to make friends with the house and farm everyone around her seems to be terrified of. As it turns out, though, their fears may just not be unfounded. Who is the woman whose cries echo throughout the farm and what does she want? What negative force about the house is so powerful that it won't even allow the upstairs bedroom to be touched? Does the 93 year old vanishing of the next door neighbor have anything to do with the house's mysteries? Taryn wants the answers to these and the house may just be trying to tell her because now, when she looks through her camera, she doesn't have to use her imagination to see the past– SHE CAN SEE IT! Will Taryn be able to figure out what happened here AND escape with her sanity and life before the house comes down? Because now it seems like someone is trying to kill her! Using what her camera reveals to her and her wits, she'll try to unravel the mysteries of the farm and get out before it's too late. The first book in the Taryn's Camera series.

Download or read book High Priest written by Timothy Leary and published by Ronin Publishing. This book was released on 2012-01-15 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Timothy Leary, the visionary Harvard psychologist who became a guru of the 1960s counterculture, reentered as an icon of new edge cyberpunks. HIGH PRIEST chronicles 16 psychedelic trips taken in the days before LSD was made illegal. The trip guides or "High Priests" include Aldous Huxley, Gordon Wasson, William S. Burroughs, Godsdog, Allen Ginsberg, Ram Dass, Ralph Metzner, Willy (a junkie from New York City), Huston Smith, Frank Barron, and others. The scene was Millbrook, a mansion in Upstate New York, that was the Mecca of Psychedellia during the 1960s, and of the many luminaries of the period who made a pilgrimage there to trip with Leary and his group, The League for Spiritual Discovery. Each chapter includes an I-Ching reading, a chronicle of what happened during the trip, marginalia of comments, quotations, and illustrations. A fascinating window into an era. This edition includes a Foreword by Allen Ginsberg, an introduction by Timothy Leary about the intergenerational counterculture, and illustrations by Howard Hallis.
Download or read book Extreme Exoticism written by W. Anthony Sheppard and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-09-20 with total page 608 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To what extent can music be employed to shape one culture's understanding of another? In the American imagination, Japan has represented the "most alien" nation for over 150 years. This perceived difference has inspired fantasies--of both desire and repulsion--through which Japanese culture has profoundly impacted the arts and industry of the U.S. While the influence of Japan on American and European painting, architecture, design, theater, and literature has been celebrated in numerous books and exhibitions, the role of music has been virtually ignored until now. W. Anthony Sheppard's Extreme Exoticism offers a detailed documentation and wide-ranging investigation of music's role in shaping American perceptions of the Japanese, the influence of Japanese music on American composers, and the place of Japanese Americans in American musical life. Presenting numerous American encounters with and representations of Japanese music and Japan, this book reveals how music functions in exotic representation across a variety of genres and media, and how Japanese music has at various times served as a sign of modernist experimentation, a sounding board for defining American music, and a tool for reshaping conceptions of race and gender. From the Tin Pan Alley songs of the Russo-Japanese war period to Weezer's Pinkerton album, music has continued to inscribe Japan as the land of extreme exoticism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Jekyll Island is full of ghosts and their need for Taryn is strong..." Jekyll Island is known for its fascinating history, as well as its ghosts, but now the two are about to take Taryn on a wild ride she'll never forget! Jekyll Island: celebrated for its beautiful historic hotel, gorgeous beaches, alligators, wild beauty, intriguing history that stretches back nearly 5 centuries, and its spirits...When Taryn's hired to paint two of the hotel's historic cottages she's excited at the chance to spend the summer on one of the Atlantic's most stunning islands. After all, she hasn't had a vacation in years. There's a formidable presence, however, that stalks the artist and history buff and grasps her within its ominous shadows. The past has never been more alive. It clings to her, taunts her, and threatens her sanity and very life. More than 100 years ago a fire consumed most of the hotel that was once built to be a playground for some of the country's richest men and women. The culprit was hanged for his crime, as well as for the murder of his young wife Rachel whose death the fire was meant to cover. Is it Rachel's ghost back for vengeance, or help, or is it something more sinister that clings to the island and claws its way into Taryn's camera and dreams? One thing is for sure-if she makes it out of THIS place alive, Taryn will never be the same!

Download or read book The Signs and Symbols of Primordial Man written by Albert Churchward and published by Pantianos Classics. This book was released on 1913 with total page 604 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Albert Churchward's famous study of Ancient Egyptian myths and symbology reveals how their mythological culture evolved over thousands of years, influencing other civilizations. The author was among the first Western scholars to investigate the connection between the religious symbols, deities and traditions of Egypt, and those which emerged in later societies. By studying the hieroglyphic texts preserved in the monuments and papyrus of the Egyptian society, Churchward uncovered the origins of legendary stories, the roles of Gods like Horus and Ptah, and the emergence of important symbols such as the triangle, cross and swastika. The religious and cultural influence of this ancient society, whose dynasties stretched across millennia, is revealed to be of staggering magnitude. This book pieces together the connections between Egyptian lore and that of the Hebrews, the Freemasons, the Mayans and various tribal societies. The depth of Churchward's enquiry is enormous; hundreds of drawings, symbols, and photographs accompany the narrative, that the reader may discover the myriad connections and wide-ranging influence of the Egyptians from antiquity onward. Frequent quotations and cites of accomplished workers in the field of Egyptology, such as Dr. Wallis Budge and Gerald Massey, further support the points established.
