Author

Will the entire universe be our arena or will our world be smaller than today? Visionary authors speculate on...
4862) Bad Seeds: Evil Progeny
Author
Description
Children are supposed to be all sugar and spice and everything nice . . . but we know that's not the truth. Dark tales of wicked tykes and dangerous kids playing vicious games that lead adults-sometimes their own parents-to their demise are a staple of frightening fiction. Beware the schoolyards and playgrounds, even the sanctity of the familial home, especially after dark. And don't be fooled by a trickle of tears or tiny hands reaching for you....

For more than eighty years H.P. Lovecraft has inspired writers of supernatural fiction, artists, musicians, filmmakers, and gaming. His themes of cosmic indifference, the utter insignificance of humankind, minds invaded by the alien, and the horrors of history - written with a pervasive atmosphere of unexplainable dread - remain not only viable motifs, but are more relevant than ever as we explore the mysteries of a universe in which our planet is...

Author
Description
The living dead are more alive than ever! Zombies have become more than an iconic monster for the twenty-first century: they are now a phenomenon constantly revealing as much about ourselves-and our fascination with death, resurrection, and survival-as our love for the supernatural or post-apocalyptic speculation.

4870) The Deep Zoo: Essays
Author
Description
Within the writer's life, words and things acquire power. For Borges it is the tiger and the color red, for Cortázar a pair of amorous lions, and for an early Egyptian scribe the monarch butterfly that metamorphosed into the Key of Life. Rikki Ducornet names these powers The Deep Zoo. Her essays take us from the glorious bestiary of Aloys Zötl to Abu Ghraib, from the tree of life to Sade's Silling Castle, from The Epic of Gilgamesh to virtual reality....

This collection by Lindy Warrell has no pretensions other than to invite readers to dance to the tune of a curious mix of words held together by the absence of form: free verse.
Each poem strikes a mood with variations from serious or dark to light and funny. Some are wise, others nonsensical with the overall aim to entertain.

Darkness surrounds us.We can find darkness anywhere: in a strange green stone etched with mysterious symbols; at a small town's annual picnic; in a ghostly house that is easy to enter but not so easy to leave; behind the dumpster in the alley where a harpy lives; in The Nowhere, a place where car keys, toys, people disappear to; among Polar explorers; and, most definitely, within ourselves. Darkness flies from mysterious crates; surrounds children...

The Great War 1914-1918 was dubbed the 'war to end all wars' and introduced the full flowering of industrial warfare to the world. The huge enthusiasm which had greeted the outbreak of hostilities in August 1914 soon gave way to a grim resignation and, as the Western Front became a long, agonising battle of dire attrition, revulsion. Never before had England's sons and daughters poured out their lifeblood in such prolonged and seemingly incessant...

4875) Working Out of My Cocoon
Author

Writing is a form of self-expression that connects the mind's thoughts to create words of meaning. Poetry is a form of art that creatively combines these words allowing the writer to convey emotion and tone. As the journey of my authorship continues from Biceps and Butterflies and An Addict's Flight, sharing my life's experiences has been transformational and telling of how we all have the ability to work our way out of our cocoons.

It's Darshan Raval
Come one, come all
Fear not of a fall
On this voyage of stories
And also of all the glories
It all began with one
And became a lot of fun
I soon began to realize
Every photo I could visualize
It was for me a need
That in the photo, I read
And so I began to browse
It's Darshan Raval in the house
