Sabine Baring-Gould was born in the parish of St Sidwell, Exeter. One of the most oft-cited references, this book is an essential and primary document on the subject of lycanthropy. His real-life case studies examine the bloody deeds of cannibals and grave desecrators, including an extended treatment of the crimes of Gilles de Retz, the notorious associate of Joan of Arc, who was convicted and executed for necrosadistic crimes. He draws upon his impressive store of scholarship to trace lycanthropy among the ancients and onward through medieval and latter-day Europe. Sabine Baring-Gould, a prominent Victorian theologian, was a gifted and original thinker who possessed a vast knowledge of folklore and mythology. Combining a vast body of observation, myth, and lore, it explores the tradition of werewolves as a widespread and persistent theme throughout history. The Book of Werewolves was the first serious academic study of lycanthropy and "blood-lust" written in English. With the shocking histories of ten famous cases, this classic blends science, superstition, and fiction to tell the full story of the werewolves among us.

Her dream is to have a movie made of every one of her novels, starring herself as the heroine and Keanu Reeves as the hero. Megan's goal is to continue writing spicy, thrilling love stories with a twist. She also writes non-erotic fantasy and science fiction, as well as continuing to occasionally dabble in horror. She's published in almost every genre of romantic fiction, including historical, contemporary, romantic suspense, romantic comedy, futuristic, fantasy and perhaps most notably, erotic. In 2002 she saw her first book in print, and she hasn't stopped since. In 1998, now a stay-home mom, Megan took up writing in earnest, attending her first writing conference and getting her first request for a full manuscript. Megan began writing short fantasy, horror and science fiction before graduating to novel-length romances. That's when she decided to become an author. Something funny happened, though, as she carefully printed it on lined notebook paper.Īt age twelve, reading Stephen King's The Stand for the first time one memorable summer, it occurred to her that people really did write books for a living. In the dark ages, before the days of photocopiers, the only way for her to keep a copy of this story was to copy it out by hand so she could read it over and over again. Homecoming by Ray Bradbury leaped out at her from the pages of a library book, and she tumbled head over heels. Not with a boy (that would wait until fourth grade), but with a story. When she was in third grade, Megan Hart fell in love for the first time. I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. Note that, by my count, this is a novella, not a novel. It’s a shame, because I think the concept, while not novel, had good potential, and the framework and characters of the story were well in place. A junior anthropologist on a distant planet must help the locals he has sworn to study to save a planet from an. While readable and pleasant, it seems to me that Tchaikovsky missed the target on this one there was just too much of a feeling of So what? at the end. Elder Race will be available from Tordotcom Publishing on November 16, 2021. Except that this story doesn’t really allow for either of those, in any direct sense. It felt, overall, like an exercise in worldbuilding – either testing out an environment for a larger story, or fleshing out an aspect of an existing story. It’s descriptive, sometimes emotional, but never really poignant, and with less tension than one might expect. At the same time, the end of the book left me wondering what the point of it all had been. I didn’t really find an answer.Įlder Race is much more like Walking than Shards – it has a small, contained cast a clear quest a linear timeline and a developed story that flows well. I picked up Elder Race to see which evaluation was the more correct. I’ve previously read two Adrian Tchaikovsky books: Walking to Aldebaran, which I quite liked, and Shards of Earth, which I thought was something of a mess.

Here is a quick description and cover image of book The Untethered Soul: The Journey Beyond Yourself written by Michael A. Brief Summary of Book: The Untethered Soul: The Journey Beyond Yourself by Michael A. The other narrative voice is that of Adam Wiebe, born in Saskatchewan in 1935, whom we encounter at telling stages of his life: as a small boy playing in the bush, as a student hunting caribou a week before his wedding, and as a middle-aged man carefully negotiating a temporary separation from his wife. The first strand consists of different voices of historical figures. It is told episodically in a double-stranded narrative. The novel tells the story of the Mennonite people from the early days of persecution in sixteenth-century Netherlands, and follows their emigration to Danzig, London, Russia, and the Americas, through the horrors of World War II, to settlement in Paraguay and Canada. Ambitious in its historical sweep, tender and humane, Sweeter Than All the World takes us on an extraordinary odyssey never before fully related in a contemporary novel. Rudy Wiebe’s latest novel is at once an enthralling saga of the Mennonite people and one man’s emotional voyage into his heritage and his own self-discovery. Ashoke chooses a name that has particular significance for him: on a train trip back in India several years earlier, he had been reading a short story collection by one of his most beloved Russian writers, Nikolai Gogol, when the train derailed in the middle of the night, killing almost all the sleeping passengers onboard. But the letter from India with the child’s official name never arrives, and so the baby’s parents decide on a pet name to use for the time being. According to Indian custom, the child will be given two names: an official name, to be bestowed by the great-grandmother, and a pet name to be used only by family. Soon after they arrive in Cambridge, their first child is born, a boy. Isolated, desperately missing her large family back in India, she will never be at peace with this new world. Ashoke is forward-thinking, ready to enter into American culture if not fully at least with an open mind. Ashima and Ashoke Ganguli arrive in America at the end of the 1960s, shortly after their arranged marriage in Calcutta, in order for Ashoke to finish his engineering degree at MIT. The Namesake follows the Ganguli family through its journey from Calcutta to Cambridge to the Boston suburbs. “An exquisitely detailed family saga.”-Entertainment Weekly “Dazzling…An intimate, closely observed family portrait.”-The New York Times He has produced a thrillingly ambitious tale inspired by Milton's ''Paradise Lost'' with a radical view of religion that may well hold the most subversive message in children's literature in years. Pullman has done more than appease his eager readers (and spare the squirrel, presumably). And with the long-awaited publication of ''The Amber Spyglass'' (Knopf), the last book of a trilogy that began with ''The Golden Compass'' in 1995, Mr. Rowling-esque proportions, but there is no question that he has a growing following of impassioned admirers who take a personal interest in his publishing schedule. Pullman's reputation has not yet swelled to J. Finish your book, or the squirrel will die.'' ''Now that you've admired the squirrel, please think about your book which the world has spent so long waiting for. ''I want you to admire this squirrel,'' the letter said. Six months ago, the British author Philip Pullman got a letter from a reader, along with a picture of a winsome little squirrel. His insights - into the mystery of words, the wonders of laughter, and the elusiveness of memory - are so startling, so strange, and so powerful that you will never look at the world the same way again. Questions such as: “Why do people with autism talk so loudly and weirdly?” “Why do you line up your toy cars and blocks?” “Why don’t you make eye contact when you’re talking?” and “What’s the reason you jump?” (Naoki’s answer: “When I’m jumping, it’s as if my feelings are going upward to the sky.”) With disarming honesty and a generous heart, Naoki shares his unique point of view on not only autism but life itself. Using an alphabet grid to painstakingly construct words, sentences, and thoughts that he is unable to speak out loud, Naoki answers even the most delicate questions that people want to know. Parents and family members who never thought they could get inside the head of their autistic loved one at last have a way to break through to the curious, subtle, and complex life within. Written by Naoki Higashida, a very smart, very self-aware, and very charming thirteen-year-old boy with autism, it is a one-of-a-kind memoir that demonstrates how an autistic mind thinks, feels, perceives, and responds in ways few of us can imagine. You’ve never read a book like The Reason I Jump. |
