Book Description
Can you live your life by what The Twilight Zone has to teach you? Yes, and maybe you should. The proof is in this lighthearted collection of life lessons, ground rules, inspirational thoughts, and stirring reminders found in Rod Serling’s timeless fantasy series. Written by veteran TV critic, Mark Dawidziak, this unauthorized tribute is a celebration of the classic anthology show, but also, on another level, a kind of fifth-dimension self-help book, with each lesson supported by the morality tales told by Serling and his writers. The notion that “it’s never too late to reinvent yourself” soars through “The Last Flight,’’ in which a World War I flier who goes forward in time and gets the chance to trade cowardice for heroism. A visit from an angel blares out the wisdom of “follow your passion” in “A Passage for Trumpet.” The meaning of “divided we fall” is driven home with dramatic results when neighbors suspect neighbors of being invading aliens in “The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street.” The old maxim about never judging a book by its cover is given a tasty twist when an alien tome is translated in “To Serve Man.”

Author: Jeremy Hernandez
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 145200367X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 258
Book Description
Will's Lament is a series of 4 books. It's the story of a painfully acquiescent love-triangle. Not of man and woman, but of live, death, and everything in between. It incorporates themes of several genres, including suspense, horror, fantasy, a bit of dark-humor, and a hint of criminal drama, particularly noticable as the reader progress through the next volumes. BOOK 1 leads a man named Will Cypher through a post-apocalyptic city, flooded with sinful temptations at every turn. To find the answers he so desperately seeked: Who he was, and how he got there. Will has absolutely no memory of himself. His only hope is a devastatingly BEAUTIFUL, yet clearly psychotic woman, who defiles her face with black paint, in the design of a twisted and demonic looking clown. Whom kills impulsively without doubt, or hesitation. Whom claims to hold the very answers Will wanted to hear. But only seems to drive him further and further into the rut. Does he simply ignore her relentless bloodlust-Or can he do it all on his own?

Life After Murder
Author: Nancy Mullane
Publisher: PublicAffairs
ISBN: 161039030X
Category : True Crime
Languages : en
Pages : 386
Book Description
Once a murderer, always a murderer? Or can a murderer be redeemed? Who do they really become after they have served decades in prison? What does it take for a killer to be accepted back into society? What is the chance that he will kill again? Award-winning journalist Nancy Mullane found herself facing these questions when she accepted an assignment to report on the exploding costs of incarceration. But the men she met behind the walls astonished her with their remorse, introspection, determination, and unshakable hope for freedom and forgiveness. Life After Murder is an intimately reported, utterly compelling story of five convicted murderers sentenced to life with the possibility of parole, who discover after decades in prison that their second chance, if it comes at all, is also the challenge of a lifetime. It follows their struggle for redemption, their legal battles to make good on the state's promise of parole, and the lives they found after so many years inside.
