Red Eyes and the Human Horror Story

Languages : en
Pages : 361
Book Description
The book had originally been titled THE HUMAN HORROR STORY! It was a very over descriptive novel that in many other opinions was just too graphic and gory! So although that novel had been decided by me to be put on a shelf for future revising, one of its chapters caught my attention. So I removed that particular chapter and began building a new story surrounding that specific idea and long and behold within four months I created my second novel RED EYES! I worked diligently on making sure that the subject matter although a horror story wouldn't upon being published offend anyone. So happy and relieved that the finished novel after several personal revisions was finally what I thought completed. How very wrong was I! The first project somehow decided to find itself added as an extension to the new novel! So once again I had to go in and perform surgery. Now both stories had to be merged to be one novel! So now I began thinking about a new title! Finally I came up with merging both titles into one! RED EYES AND THE HUMAN HORROR STORY! A SPINE -TINGLING ADVENTURE INTO UNKNOWN REALMS... Two men,each facing an unimaginable,inexplicable journey,each must face horrors and promises in an alternate reality that is both surreal and yet oddly familiar. One man suffering from depression,deals with his pain by imagining an easier world...until an accident pushes him into another realm,where he is reunited with a lost love,but also must face zombies and an evil demon. He must face the truth of the comforting illusions he created,but as his dream world becomes more and more compelling and satisfying,what will happen when he has to return to real life? The second man enters an alternate reality by committing suicide,an act that,as he has been warned,will have serious consequences. He is reunited with his soulmate,but they can't stay in the reality they currently inhabit. An adversary that they thought they had destroyed is back,and they must face him again...and,to their horror,they come to learn that they must defeat their demons over and over,as they move to new realms; the price for taking your own life is to be doomed to move continually from one reality to the next. Red Eyes and the Human Horror Story is a thrilling,endlessly inventive exploration of the ways in which imagination shapes our reality...and how reality shapes our dream worlds.

A horde of criminally good horror writers took a walk down the mean streets of crime. Their task: to make your blood run cold, to scare you witless and to make your skin crawl.

Ashley-Smith, Alan Baxter, Aaron Dries, Gemma Files, Geneve Flynn, Philip Fracassi, Robert Hood, Gabino Iglesias, Rick Kennett, Maria Lewis, Chris Mason, Lee Murray, Cina Pelayo, Dan Rabarts, John F.D.

Translated Nation
Author: Christopher J. Pexa
Publisher: U of Minnesota Press
ISBN: 1452960143
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 355
Book Description
How authors rendered Dakhóta philosophy by literary means to encode ethical and political connectedness and sovereign life within a settler surveillance state Translated Nation examines literary works and oral histories by Dakhóta intellectuals from the aftermath of the 1862 U.S.–Dakota War to the present day, highlighting creative Dakhóta responses to violences of the settler colonial state. Christopher Pexa argues that the assimilation era of federal U.S. law and policy was far from an idle one for the Dakhóta people, but rather involved remaking the Oyáte (the Očéti Šakówiŋ Oyáte or People of the Seven Council Fires) through the encrypting of Dakhóta political and relational norms in plain view of settler audiences. From Nicholas Black Elk to Charles Alexander Eastman to Ella Cara Deloria, Pexa analyzes well-known writers from a tribally centered perspective that highlights their contributions to Dakhóta/Lakhóta philosophy and politics. He explores how these authors, as well as oral histories from the Spirit Lake Dakhóta Nation, invoke thióšpaye (extended family or kinship) ethics to critique U.S. legal translations of Dakhóta relations and politics into liberal molds of heteronormativity, individualism, property, and citizenship. He examines how Dakhóta intellectuals remained part of their social frameworks even while negotiating the possibilities and violence of settler colonial framings, ideologies, and social forms. Bringing together oral and written as well as past and present literatures, Translated Nation expands our sense of literary archives and political agency and demonstrates how Dakhóta peoplehood not only emerges over time but in everyday places, activities, and stories. It provides a distinctive view of the hidden vibrancy of a historical period that is often tied only to Indigenous survival.
