Download or read book Canticles for Lobotomy written by Robert S. Sosna and published by Dorrance Publishing. This book was released on 2018-04-30 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Canticles for Lobotomy By: Robert S. Sosna For private eye Rashid Sosnova and his wife/partner, Talullah Blackwell, weird cases are nothing out of the ordinary. The Valley of Rabbits, in parallel-universe Pansylvania, has plenty of weird to go around. But when an incident on the yeti-infested Big Mountain seems to connect to a string of bad-guy lobotomies by a vigilante called Dr. Lobe, Rashid and friends find themselves neck deep in a full-fledged bigfoot noir that ties directly to the city’s highest mafia bosses and to Rashid’s own past. The fact that our hero suffers from Proteus Syndrome, the “Elephant Man” disease, doesn’t slow him down, even if he does walk with a cane. Behind that misleading exterior lies the mind of a master monster detective and he’s definitely on the case.

Boone is a young boy. After an unlikely encounter, they’ve become an even unlikelier pair of best friends. After saving up his Monster Card wrappers, Hugo sends away for a special prize in the mail—a Monster Detector! Using the watchlike device, Hugo quickly spots a monster right in his own cavern. Spooked, Hugo heads to school and finds yet another surprise—his friend Boone! Boone announces he wants to go to Sasquatch school, but no human has ever gone before, and not everyone is as happy about it as Hugo. Boone’s first day of school gets off to a rocky start, but Hugo doesn’t have much time to worry before he makes another monster sighting and takes off after the creature. What follows are even more surprises, ones that have Hugo and Boone rethinking what it really means to be a “monster.” “A lovely story of using empathy to work through culture clashes.” —Kirkus Reviews
Download or read book Ski Films written by Bryan Senn and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2022-05-02 with total page 427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Skiing in movies, like the sport itself, grew more prevalent beginning in the 1930s, when it was a pastime of the elite, with depictions reflecting changes in technique, fashion and social climate. World War II saw skiing featured in a dozen films dealing with that conflict. Fueled by postwar prosperity, the sport exploded in the 1950s--filmmakers followed suit, using scenes on snow-covered slopes for panoramic beauty and the thrill of the chase. Through the free-spirited 1960s and 1970s, the downhill lifestyle shussed into everything from spy thrillers to beach party romps. The extreme sports era of the 1980s and 1990s brought snowboarding to the big screen. This first ever critical history of skiing in film chronicles a century of alpine cinema, with production information and stories and quotes from directors, actors and stuntmen.
