![]() ![]() ![]() McBride’s novel is also resolutely untribal, with a dedication that reads “For God’s people-all of ‘em.” Even the antagonists in Deacon King Kong are not particularly vicious, not the cold-faced hitwoman whose reasons for double-crossing a drug lord seem solid enough, not even the dirty cops or the Italian mobsters grappling for a piece of the fledgling drug market at the Causeway Housing Projects in South Brooklyn in 1969, where the novel is set. The presiding spirit of the book is Christian, but not of the punitive, close-minded variety that commands the lion’s share of public attention. If ever a novel was out of step with the mood of its historical moment, it’s James McBride’s Deacon King Kong.

![]() ![]() The footage seems have captured an anomaly on Vancouver Island, which might be a tear in the time-space continuum. What links these people together is a short piece of footage shot by a teenage Vincent, who we meet in ‘The glass hotel.’ Her brother Paul has been using it in his performances, which is where we meet Vincent’s old friend Mirella. She’s originally from moon colony two, as is Gaspery Jacques-Roberts, a sort of time travelling detective who lives in the night city aronund 2400 and becomes interested in these characters. Two hundred years later and the book introduces Olive Lleywellan, a novelist who is visiting earth for a book tour. He’s been banished by his family for a bit of a rant at the dinner table. ![]() The book begins on Vancouver Island and the year is 1912, where we meet Edwin St. Emily St John Mandel was my favourite find of 2022, so it seemed apt to start 2023 with a review of her most recent book,’ Sea of tranquility.’ Again, she doesn’t disappoint. ![]() ![]() ![]() Technology exists and pops up in unexpected places, but with everyone now fearful of revealing who they really are, all the things we take for granted now, like cellphones and driver’s licenses, are dangerous commodities to own. ![]() The Private Eye is a futuristic throwback with generous nods to the detective stories of yesteryear. In a trendy move, the creators behind Panel Syndicate have made their comic available in digital format only, for the low low price of whatever the hell you want! Funds from sales will be used to publish future issues, which have been made available worldwide, with increasing translations available. And the irony is that this comic is only available online. This comic will make you think twice the next time you make a payment online or save something to a cloud. The story follows P.I., a private detective hired to dig up any information on his client who happens to be involved with a very dangerous man. In this case, the paparazzi become private detectives, hunting the secrets behind the secret identities that everyone is now wearing. Where there are secrets, there will always be paparazzi. After all the information we’ve ever uploaded online is suddenly released for everyone to see, privacy has become a sacred right valued by everyone. ![]() ![]() ![]() “I thought there was a way to connect with the Pop Art of the time period if I changed what I did, and presented that style and not my traditional painted style.” Kirby was cartoony, bold and muscular, at times over-the-top and brimming with mid-century, space-age design combining the bright colors of comic publishing at the time with occasional collage work to produce what was termed in the 1960s as Marvel Pop Art. “His style informed the first 10 years of their existence and it’s the shadow all artists have been working under for these last 60 years.” “I wanted to present a version of the Fantastic Four as close to a Jack Kirby style he envisioned for the series as he created the characters,” Ross tell The Hollywood Reporter. 'Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania' Director Peyton Reed Talks Scratching His 'Fantastic Four' Itch and Paying Tribute to 'Back to the Future Part II'Īnd it’s also the rare occasion where Ross takes a step back from the painted realism style that made him famous. ![]() ![]() And it also includes some of the avant-garde classical music by Robert Normandeau, a French Canadian composer who I like very much who doesn't record with musical instruments. It leaves open the possibility that some musical style that we may not like can still be considered music by someone else - the idea that a composer puts together sounds in a particular order and has some intentionality to it, has some purpose. DANIEL LEVITIN (Author, "Your Brain on Music: The Science of a Human Obsession."): I like to define music as organized sound because that's an inclusive definition. It's the subject of his book, "Your Brain on Music: The Science of a Human Obsession." And Levitin says like it or not, the difference between soulful music and awful noise is a matter of taste. Hey, maybe you don't like this song, but Daniel Levitin thinks even if you're hating it, what's going on in your brain right now is fascinating. ![]() GEORGE STRAIT: (Singing) All my ex's live in Texas.

He has a name, but it might as well be Officer. You see, the guards run the show, and I seem to have caught the attention of the most twisted one. Unfortunately for me and my fellow prisoners, those in charge are more dangerous than we are. I don’t belong here, surrounded by psychopaths and killers with no remorse… At least, I don’t think I do.

For everyone who loves Sounder, Shiloh, and The Yearling, for everyone who loves the haunting beauty of writers such as Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings, Flannery O'Connor, and Carson McCullers, Kathi Appelt spins a harrowing yet keenly sweet tale about the power of love - and its opposite, hate - the fragility of happiness and the importance of making good on your promises. And one kitten's one moment of curiosity sets off a chain of events that is astonishing, remarkable, and enormous in its meaning. Kittens, however, are notoriously curious creatures. ![]() ![]() But they are safe in the Underneath.as long as they stay in the Underneath. Ranger urges the cat to hide underneath the porch, to raise her kittens there because Gar-Face, the man living inside the house, will surely use them as alligator bait should he find them. They are an unlikely pair, about to become an unlikely family. ![]() She dares to find him in the forest, and the hound dares to befriend this cat, this feline, this creature he is supposed to hate. There is nothing lonelier than a cat who has been loved, at least for a while, and then abandoned on the side of the road.Ī calico cat, about to have kittens, hears the lonely howl of a chained-up hound deep in the backwaters of the bayou. ![]() ![]() Heather fantasizes about murdering her Uncle James in various ways, from letting him freeze in the snow, to tossing him off a roof. ![]() We open on a familiar scene to any Fear Street reader. Like with the cover, it’s minimal, but that makes it good. Short, sweet, sinister, gives nothing away. TaglineĪlso a good tagline! Dang, this book is killing it. I think what sells the beheading is the scarf standing just above, hinting at what would be a neck otherwise. The headless snowman is a cliche but good image, and the footsteps leading to it hint at something sinister. I’m a little disappointed I could only find the high contrast images of it, because I feel like the softness is lost, and that’s part of what sells it. This cover (borrowed from YA Revisted) is actually very good. (One day I may have to reread all of the Last Vampire series, but saints help me on that day.) The Cover ![]() So today’s sampling is not from Fear Street, but rather from the Point Thrillers series, which had a number of YA horror writers submitting books for it, including my second fav Christopher Pike. ![]() Luckily, I work in a library, and just about every day we get book donations, and sometimes an R.L.

In 1921, the Penn Publishing Company again commissioned her to illustrate an edition of Tanglewood Tales by Nathaniel Hawthorne. Old French Fairy Tales Second Book: Tanglewood Tales She was 19 and received $500 for the eight watercolors and 16 pen and ink drawings, with a supplemental $250 for a colored drawing for the cover and ink drawings for the end papers and boards. She was commissioned by Penn Publishing Company to illustrate the Comptesse de Ségur's Old French Fairy Tales. Virginia Frances Sterrett's first commission came in 1919. She left incomplete a set of illustrations to Myths and Legends. Virginia died in 1931, at the age of 30, of tuberculosis. ![]() Illustrations from all three books are presented here. Her work is enjoying a renaissance of interest, and is becoming increasingly difficult to find. Virginia Frances Sterrett illustrated three books: The Arabian Nights, Tanglewood Tales, and Old French Fairy Tales. ![]() |
