Book Description
Julio now took the lead, but both boys pulled up short, and completely lost their composure. There stationed next to the exit sign and door; was a large, ominous figure of the Frankenstein monster seated on his faux throne The setting is Los Angeles, circa 1937. RTO Studios is the largest and most successful movie studio in Hollywood, and it has recently embarked on a horror movie project titled, The Nightmare Castle of Horror. Entering the literary stage are two high schoolers (Norman Felskin and Betsy Poldosky), who have recently been chosen to be the leads in the highly successful radio show, The Valley Sleuths. All is seemingly well until Norman meets a mysterious boy at the studios West Cafeteria by the name of Julio Velasquez. Julio reveals how the boys uncle is missing, and somehow he is able to convince Norman and Betsy to go out to the Old European Backlot in order to search for clues to the uncles whereabouts. They are also determined to find out why there are so many unexplained incidents going on near the horror set that is presently under construction (and even explore the mystifying reference to something called, the Moradhaku). The story is an intellective, suspenseful, and fast paced adventure; written in the classic style of Hitchcock and Hollywoods Golden Age. If you are looking for something exciting and different this is for you. Book Dedication: Aids Orphans Remembered

The Wolf's Head
Author: Peter Unwin
Publisher: Cormorant Books
ISBN: 1770860819
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 301
Book Description
Immortalized in words and song, the symbol of the great, untreaded Wilderness, the shores surrounding Lake Superior rustle with stories of gregarious legend, unlikely heroes, quiet sorrow, and unmatched feats of bravery and adventure. From the earliest European records of the world's largest body of fresh, open water, to the ghostly anecdotes of the men lost in her freezing waters, Peter Unwin records the stories of the great Superior and the people who, over centuries, have determined to make it their home. In short, cultivating chapters, Unwin lays out the history of the lake and its lands, illuminating the stories of the copper stained greed of men who sought the Ontonagon Boulder, the strangling dread of Mishipizheu, the maddening determination of voyageurs as they packed 400 pounds across rugged earth and choppy water, and the hollow ache of loss on the greatest of inland seas. All the ferociousness of the Wolf's Head the lake embodies is laid out here, filled with extraordinary facts, humorous anecdotes, and an understanding of the people who have chosen to live along its shores. In simple, witty language that endears and engages, Peter Unwin brings Lake Superior to life like no other writer can, delivering in breathless vibrancy, the history of the Wolf's Head.

Here Today
Author: Jeffrey B. Schmidt
Publisher: University of Oklahoma Press
ISBN: 0806194499
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 323
Book Description
The history of Oklahoma runs through the thousands of towns that sprang up in the wake of statehood and even before then—readable in the traces of bygone days, if you know what to look for. In Here Today, Jeffrey B. Schmidt conducts readers, armchair travelers and adventurers alike, through places that tell Oklahoma’s story: towns all but disappeared, waning, or persisting despite the odds. Part travelogue, part field guide, part history, the book—replete with photos, maps, and GPS coordinates—documents the rise and fall of one hundred of these towns, from the arrival of pioneers and settlers to the rise of buildings and businesses to the decline that came with natural disasters, manmade crises, and cultural change. Schmidt provides an enlightening look at what has made these towns work—the role of roads and railways, public schools and churches, community building and commerce, and, perhaps most significant, the official recognition that a post office conferred. He notes the oil strikes, coal mines, intriguing crimes, violent weather, and twists of fortune that played into the fate of each; points out the landmarks that still stand and the shadows of those that have succumbed to indifference, destruction, or the passage of time; and puts the story these towns tell into the larger context of westward expansion, Native American history, and, in the case of the many all-Black towns, discrimination and segregation. Whether visiting ghost towns or small towns that still draw on the power of rural resilience to survive and even thrive, Here Today offers a rare chance to travel through the state’s history before its remnants may be gone tomorrow. Representing the extraordinary extent of Schmidt’s research, legwork, and mining of archives and data sources, the book preserves for all time a vanishing vision of Oklahoma.

The Legends of Orkney
Author: Alane Adams
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1943006830
Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 1057
Book Description
Experience the Legends of Orkney trilogy—the entire series all together for the first time. In The Red Sun, you’ll be introduced to middle school student Sam Baron, who gets the shock of his life when a strange dwarf shows up with the claim that Sam is from a magical realm called Orkney. Then Sam’s friends are taken prisoner, and he follows their captors to Orkney—embarking upon a journey to rescue his friends, uncover the truth about his past, and combat an ancient curse that threatens to destroy the land. In Kalifus Rising, it’s Sam who’s in trouble this time: Imprisoned by Catriona, leader of the Volgrim Witches, he finds the darker side of his half-god, half-witch heritage released, and he fears he might destroy the very land he’s just saved. He believes his only hope for salvation lies with his three best friends and a mystical artifact known as the Moon Pearl; other forces are at work in Orkney's shadows, however—forces that could help free Sam, or condemn him to the darkness forever. Finally, in The Raven God, an army of red giants gather in the Eighth Realm of Musspell, determined to destroy Orkney—and it’s all Sam’s fault. After all, he took Odin’s life with an ancient cursed dagger, and now mankind has lost its protector. Once again, it’s up to Sam and his friends to prove that they can find the courage to do what’s needed when the odds are stacked against them, and the sacrifice asked is greater than any of them could imagine. Fast-paced and spell-binding, the Legends of Orkney trilogy is a magical adventure not to be missed.
