The Devil's Coming to Get Me
Author: Richard Estep
Publisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
ISBN: 9781719455015
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 308
Book Description
Malvern Manor has been many things over the course of its long life. In the late 1800s it was a hotel catering to travelers and businessmen; then it was converted into a rest home for the sick and infirm; and finally, it became a privately-owned care facility, providing a home for the physically and mentally challenged of six counties. It was often the last refuge for those suffering from alcoholism, drug addiction, and severe behavioral disorders. Long after the building closed its doors for the final time, many people claim that some of those residents never left. Now a magnet for paranormal investigators, it is said that the abandoned rooms and hallways of Malvern Manor are haunted by the restless spirits of those who once called it home. Does the spirit of a young hanging victim still linger upstairs, calling out for somebody to play with her? How can Rose, the haunted doll, move around inside her glass case without human intervention? Who is the aggressive shadow man that likes to attack visitors in the nursing wing? And what is the truth behind the malevolent entity that lurks on the second floor? Join author Richard Estep (TV's "Haunted Case Files") as he and his fellow paranormal investigators take up residence at Malvern Manor and embark on a search for answers.

Proud Legacy
Author: Ajuan M Mance
Publisher: Henson Benson Foundation
ISBN: 9780985810610
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 186
Book Description
Proud Legacy chronicles the story of a rarely-discussed chapter of African American history, in the voices of those Black men and women who experienced it. Beginning with the arrival of it's first African American residents, this book traces the rise of Malvern, Arkansas' African American community and it's quest to overcome the challenges of Jim Crow and to build a school system for the region's Black children. Focusing on the rise of Malvern's segregation-era "colored" school system, from a single primary school to a highly-regarded primary, middle, and secondary school program, Proud Legacy explores the unique circumstances that led to the creation of a thriving and effective African American education system in the midst of the segregated South. Sometimes exuberant, sometimes heart-breaking, this oral history-based volume documents a Black community's pride in the school system that it built, and their grief upon it's eventual closure.

Beyond the grand facades and trappings of the Main Line cream-and-crystal crowd are hidden tales and scintillating stories.

Moderan
Author: David R. Bunch
Publisher: New York Review of Books
ISBN: 168137255X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 353
Book Description
A collection of chilling and prescient stories about ecological apocalypse and the merging of human and machine. Welcome to Moderan, world of the future. Here perpetual war is waged by furious masters fighting from Strongholds well stocked with “arsenals of fear” and everyone is enamored with hate. The devastated earth is coated by vast sheets of gray plastic, while humans vie to replace more and more of their own “soft parts” with steel. What need is there for nature when trees and flowers can be pushed up through holes in the plastic? Who requires human companionship when new-metal mistresses are waiting? But even a Stronghold master can doubt the catechism of Moderan. Wanderers, poets, and his own children pay visits, proving that another world is possible. “As if Whitman and Nietzsche had collaborated,” wrote Brian Aldiss of David R. Bunch’s work. Originally published in science-fiction magazines in the 1960s and ’70s, these mordant stories, though passionately sought by collectors, have been unavailable in a single volume for close to half a century. Like Anthony Burgess in A Clockwork Orange, Bunch coined a mind-bending new vocabulary. He sought not to divert readers from the horror of modernity but to make us face it squarely. This volume includes eleven previously uncollected Moderan stories.
