Her stories, though, are provocative explorations of human relations in regions where the population is quite sparse. Because of her curation work for archaeology museums, many of her tales feature the study of archaeology although many tend to feature the tedious nature of cleaning artifacts rather than the careful study of a site. ![]() I love many places in the west with the unique rock formations and interesting history of native American cultures, so I found Erica Olsen’s collection of short stories Recapture a fun, imaginative return to these areas. ![]()

He describes how humans have gradually lost the incredible freediving abilities that were part of our survival on a water world. ![]() Ultimately he makes some insightful distinctions between competition freediving and freediving as used for other purposes. Nestor tackles these tasks in an interesting and entertaining way, by exploring a variety of ocean activities across the globe and weaving them into related stories. James Nestor’s excursion into freediving takes him on a non-fiction journey that is part self-exploration, part ocean exploration, and most important, an attempt to understand our connection to the sea. ![]() In the little-known world of freediving (breath hold diving without assistance from breathing equipment), competitors risk death and injury to break records while others freedive to harvest a living from the sea. ![]() ![]()
![]() ![]() I remember reading (and seeing) "The Exorcist" a long time ago and since then have read many novels that tried to attain the same degree of horror and fear. ![]() ![]() My favorite kind of novel is horror in particular themes that have to do with possession. McCammon, Willow Rose, and Joe Hill, you’ll love this ghostly dark fantasy filled with enough occult and supernatural to scratch that horror itch! “DeVor delivers a terrifying story of demonic possession and the valiant fight to save the child that will have you turning on all the lights in your house and jumping at the slightest sound.”-Sci-Fi & Scary Read more If you like Darcy Coates, Jack Ketchum, Robert R. ![]() Will he survive long enough to save the child-and his soul? But helping Lucy means performing the one thing he swore he would never do: an exorcism. Whatever being “marked” means, Jimmy doesn’t care. The Blackmoor residence rests upon the outskirts of town with a history of magic, mayhem, and death, Jimmy Holiday must decide if the young girl, Lucy, is only ill, or if the haunting of the house and her apparent possession are real.Īfter the house appears to affect him as well with colors of magic dancing before his eyes, rooms warded by a witch, and a ring of power in his voice, Jimmy is met by a transient who tells him he has “the Mark.” A defrocked priest offers to help an old friend with a sick daughter, but he has no idea what truly awaits him in this story of supernatural horror. ![]() ![]() ![]() This new power, as it reverberates throughout cultures across the world, changes everything. In her world, a story-within-a-story that’s presented as historical fiction, teenage girls discover that they can generate electricity from their hands at will. The brilliance of The Power, an award-winning speculative-fiction work by Naomi Alderman only now being released in the U.S., is that it conceives of a way to flip this power dynamic entirely upside down. ![]() Women are afraid that men will kill them.” As the adage often attributed to Margaret Atwood goes, “Men are afraid that women will laugh at them. They also have to imagine what it’s like to sense the imminent danger in those interactions-to be weaker than their aggressor in every way, and to have that weakness woven into the fabric of society itself. To understand what it’s like for a woman to be catcalled, or harassed, or propositioned, it isn’t enough for men to simply put themselves in that woman’s place. But it gets at the fundamental imbalance of power that characterizes relationships between men and women. One of the most succinct definitions of sexual harassment I’ve read over the past few weeks goes like this: For men, it’s anything they might say to a woman that would make them uncomfortable if it were said to them, but in prison. ![]() ![]() a power that threatens to eradicate the timeline altogether. But as the tremors of change to the timeline grow stronger and the stakes for recovering the astrolabe mount, they discover an ancient power far more frightening than the rival travelers currently locked in a battle for control. Still devastated by Etta's disappearance, Nicholas has enlisted the unlikely help of Sophia Ironwood and a cheeky mercenary-for-hire to track both her and the missing astrolabe down. Suddenly questioning everything she's been fighting for, Etta must choose a path, one that could transform her future. Instead, she's blindsided by a bombshell revelation from their leader, Henry Hemlock: he is her father. When Etta inadvertently stumbles into the heart of the Thorns, the renegade travelers who stole the astrolabe from her, she vows to finish what she started and destroy the astrolabe once and for all. Now, robbed of the powerful object that was her only hope of saving her mother, Etta finds herself stranded once more, cut off from Nicholas-the eighteenth century privateer she loves-and her natural time. ![]() Etta Spencer didn't know she was a traveler until the day she emerged both miles and years from her home. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It was one of a handful of would-be "next Twilight" entries that didn't quite take off over the last year. The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones opened with just $14 million over its Wednesday-Sunday opening weekend back in late August of this summer. Yet, against all odds and arguably against all logic, Hollywood Reporter is, uh, reporting that it's getting a sequel! The Mortal Instruments: City Of Bones received neither positive reviews nor box office large enough to justify its production and marketing expenses. Good reviews are a plus, but the key idea is that your first film making lots of money in relation to your budget is a sign that there is perhaps a marketplace for an additional installment. It's a general rule of thumb in Hollywood that if you want a sequel to a given film, said initial installment has to be relatively financially successful. ![]() ![]() PART II - What kind of food should I eat?Ĭhapter 22 - Eat mostly plants, especially leaves.Ĭhapter 23 - Treat meat as a flavoring or special occasionfood.Chapter 24 - “Eating what stands on one leg is.

Fuentes takes us through the streets of Bridgetown with an enslaved runaway inside a brothel run by a freed woman of color in the midst of a white urban household in sexual chaos to the gallows where enslaved people were executed and within violent scenes of enslaved women's punishments. Fuentes creates a portrait of urban Caribbean slavery in this colonial town from the perspective of these women whose stories appear only briefly in historical records. ![]() In the eighteenth century, Bridgetown, Barbados, was heavily populated by both enslaved and free women. ![]() |
