Book Description
Read This Book on a Silent Hill – aims to be a spiritual and intellectual journey through many fields. With shamans, psychonauts, hackers and non-believers, through the imperfect records of history, to the uncertainty of future, it deals with the most interesting and important topics. Life’s contradictory nature is examined through short, but dense chapters, that aim to bring the reader into the present moment. To provide a compass, it draws from a wide range of topics. On its pages, you will find about witch trials, psychedelics and their surrounding taboos, secret government programmes like the MKUltra, meditative techniques and reality perceptions, as well as an examination of our current state of being. What the monetary system and work culture of today holds for the human soul, how we got to this point and what cryptography and the power of free thinking can do for us. What the Matrix and french philosophy have in common. Whether things are getting better, or worse and what we can learn from tales of long dead grapevines, snails, fields of poppies and living bread. Ultimately, we will look at concepts such as time and marvel at the beuty of reality with all its separate, yet connected features and stare into the swriling fractal just a bit too long.
Silent Hill 2
Author: Mike Drucker
Publisher: Boss Fight Books
ISBN: 1940535271
Category : Games & Activities
Languages : en
Pages : 120
Book Description
A troubled man travels to a mysterious town from his past after receiving a letter from his wife... who's been dead for years. And while our "hero" explores dark corridors and battles countless disturbing enemies, his journey offers more psychological horror than survival horror. Welcome to Silent Hill, where the monster is you. Silent Hill 2 doubles down on what made the first game so compelling: The feeling of being lost in a foggy, upside-down town as unsettling as it is familiar. Nearly two decades after first experiencing Silent Hill 2, writer and comedian Mike Drucker returns to its dark depths to explore how this bold video game delivers an experience that is tense, nightmarish, and anything but fun. With an in-depth and highly personal study of its tragic cast of characters, and a critical examination of developer Konami’s world design and uneven marketing strategy, Drucker examines how Silent Hill 2 forces its players to grapple with the fact that very real-world terrors of trauma, abuse, shame, and guilt are far more threatening than any pyramid-headed monster could ever be.

THE DEAD DO NOT REST TILL THEY GET WHAT THEY WANT. You have arrived in the hills. In here, you are surrounded by dense, menacing forests, enveloped in a deadly silence . . .

All the people who died in accidents here . . . They say you hear their screams at night. And the deserted lodges sitting amidst lush greenery and calm streams . . . Spirits lie in wait here, ready to prey on the living. There are sceptics who did not heed these warnings. They tried to rationalize what they saw, what they felt. But when they came face to face with the beings that they believed didn't exist, they couldn't run away anymore . . . Ghosts of the Silent Hills is a collection that will make your nights a little scarier, encompassing the very best spine-chilling stories based on true hauntings.

Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 171
Book Description
Silent Hill: The Terror Engine, the second of the two inaugural studies in the Landmark Video Games series from series editors Mark J. P. Wolf and Bernard Perron, is both a close analysis of the first three Silent Hill games and a general look at the whole series. Silent Hill, with its first title released in 1999, is one of the most influential of the horror video game series. Perron situates the games within the survival horror genre, both by looking at the history of the genre and by comparing Silent Hill with such important forerunners as Alone in the Dark and Resident Evil. Taking a transmedia approach and underlining the designer's cinematic and literary influences, he uses the narrative structure; the techniques of imagery, sound, and music employed; the game mechanics; and the fiction, artifact, and gameplay emotions elicited by the games to explore the specific fears survival horror games are designed to provoke and how the experience as a whole has made the Silent Hill series one of the major landmarks of video game history.
