Pages : 282
Book Description
"Imagine Riverdale crossing streams with Stephen King's The Outsider and you'll get a sense of this gripping supernatural mystery...Gould's debut begins as a snappy paranormal yarn and unspools into a profound story about the complex interplay between grief, guilt, and identity." - Oprah Daily Courtney Gould’s thrilling YA debut The Dead and the Dark is about the things that lurk in dark corners, the parts of you that can’t remain hidden, and about finding home in places—and people—you didn’t expect. The Dark has been waiting—and it won't stay hidden any longer. Something is wrong in Snakebite, Oregon. Teenagers are disappearing, some turning up dead, the weather isn’t normal, and all fingers point to TV’s most popular ghost hunters who have just come to town. Logan Ortiz-Woodley, daughter of TV's ParaSpectors, has never been to Snakebite before. But the moment she and her dads arrive, she starts to get the feeling that there's more than ghosts plaguing this small town. Ashley Barton’s boyfriend was the first teen to go missing, and she’s felt his ghost following her ever since. Although everyone shuns the Ortiz-Woodleys, the mysterious Logan may be the only person who can help Ashley get some answers. When Ashley and Logan team up to figure out who—or what—is haunting Snakebite, their investigation reveals truths about the town, their families, and themselves that neither of them are ready for. As the danger intensifies, they realize that their growing feelings for each other could be a light in the darkness.

Wampanoag Traveler
Author: Brendan Galvin
Publisher: LSU Press
ISBN: 9780807115428
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 60
Book Description
Brendan Galvin’s book-length poem, Wampanoag Traveler, is told from the point of view of one Loranzo Newcomb, a fictional eighteenth-century natural historian, gardener, lone wanderer, fabulist, and failed lover. A sort of Johnny Appleseed in reverse, Newcomb traverses the American colonies, gathering seeds, botanical specimens, and fauna for the gardens and collections of wealthy patrons in England, and a host of observations for himself. Wampanoag Traveler makes vivid a lost world in which science and superstition, fact and tall tale are interlocked. The poem is arranged in fourteen sections that deal variously with such subjects as gardening, the mystical delirium that follows a poisonous snakebite, failed love, hummingbirds and skunks, and the young Newcomb’s apprenticeship to a “birdmaster” who bears a close resemblance to Audubon. The section, “Some Entertainments Sent with a Gift Snuffbox Carved from an Alligator’s Tooth,” which was awarded a Sotheby’s Prize by Ted Hughes and Seamus Heaney through the Arvon International Poetry Competition in 1987, is a poetic tall tale in which Newcomb describes raising a baby alligator to dragon-sized proportions. My first alligator I dragged out of a fish hawk’s grasp when it was no longer than my foot, and trained it up on crabs and herring until what I hesitate to call gratitude appeared and strengthened in its nature at last, and I could with patience inure it to reins and a light saddle. Through much of the poem, a somber tone, a pervading sense of sadness, underlies the naturalist’s exuberant vision. Newcomb feels an unpurgeable sorrow rise from his sense of isolation his preference for gardening over people (“no easy admission”). He mourns the fact that the American garden he loves is already being despoiled. In the poem’s last section, “Envoy,” Newcomb projects into the future a history of the apple as a metaphor for American innocence gone sour. Combining a vibrant early American sensibility with his own contemporary sense of poetics, Galvin creates a life that proceeded in a very different time from our own, fraught with choices we no longer remember. In a remarkable tour de force, he engages a voice from the past in a dialogue with a future that becomes—magically and sadly—our own historical moment.
