The Spirit Hunters
Author: Shirley G. East
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1796050555
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 675
Book Description
A great drought has swept across western North America. The bison are dying, and with them The People. The Chosen One was murdered long ago and The Sacred Relics of the Ancestors stolen. Running Bison is desperate. He and Prairie Grass have traveled far to the west, following a 'gut instinct' in search of Clover Blossom. He hopes that the old woman has the Sacred Relics... but he arrives too late. Clover Blossom is dead and her granddaughter, Sage has fled. Running Bison sees all hope for The People vanishing along with her. Sage has indeed fled; her grandmothers dying words frightening her into taking a large vicious dog and only what she can load on a single travois, along with the strange packet she knows contains 'spirit power'. She has been instructed to protect it with her life, and return it to The People. Set against the Panorama of the Rocky Mountains and Great Plains of North America during late Paleo-Indian's Agate Basin Period, 9,500 years ago, The Spirit Hunters attempts to portray the way of life, the pain, agony, and joy of these early Americans. Get swept along in the life and death struggle of The People as they seek to survive the drought, the wrath of the 'spirits', and the deadly attacks of Raiders and Savages. Their only hope is the powerful leader Running Bison and an even more powerful woman, 'The Chosen'.

Book Description
Darkness devours freedom. Rage consumes her. Convict Lola Cabello is on a mission to assassinate the fallen angel who shattered her life. Her bloodline plays a key part in the mysterious ash drug’s purpose, pushing her limits. Whispering words from the beyond call her name, promising a gift: at what cost?

The Crystal Moths poison the economics and government. Their influence in scientific progression fuses the unthinkable as part of the fallen angel Mastema’s divine plan for a New World Order. An oracle painter’s esoteric work encodes hidden messages warning reptilian hunter Scalebane of the Moth gangsters, linking to Cabello.

Death on Rua Augusta
Author: Tedi López Mills
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781908998224
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Poetry. Fiction. California Interest. Translated from the Spanish by David Shook. This mystery novel in verse won Mexico's highest literary honor in 2009, the Xavier Villaurutia Prize. Here, it is translated by Bolaño's translator, Dylan Thomas Prize shortlisted poet David Shook. The novel centers around Mr. Gordon, who, after being let go from his job due to his unstable behaviour, experiences the unfolding of his spirit in an artificial Californian Eden. In the shade of a thousand-leaved tree, very near a pool's edge, Gordon transcribes his thoughts, memories and questions while he tries to cope with abuse from his wife and his best friend, and battle dialogues emanating from an interior voice reminding us of Berryman's Mr. Bones. DEATH ON RUA AUGUSTA is the diary of a person who cannibalizes themselves. In this important narrative poem, Tedi López Mills dives magisterially into the machine of the mind to locate the fine line that keeps us tied to the world. A chapter-based novel in poetry form, Tedi López Mills has written DEATH ON RUA AUGUSTA in the magical realist tradition, drawing on film noir and West Coast thrillers--making this a cinematically surreal and strange delight for all readers.

In September of 1740, singer Tito Amato receives a curious invitation.

The two men find the countryside awash with the golden hues of autumn, but the bucolic mood quickly turns menacing when a notorious figure from Tito's past turns up at the villa.
