Book Description
Someday the burden of this body will turn to dust and trouble me no more Your cold heart can't hurt me any longer, once I reach that distant shore. I'll leave this world of pain behind me, on silver wings I'll rise above the storm. My time on earth will pass and be forgotten. Someday I'll weep for you no more. Someday they'll be no night without you or dreams about the way things might have been. Oh, if I could just survive the dyin I will live to love again. Someday the struggle will be over and I can lay this loneliness to rest. I won't be in love with you forever, just until my final breath. My time on earth will pass and be forgotten, someday I'll weep for you no more. Someday as recorded by Morrow Faye Ranney

A Place of Darkness
Author: Kendall R. Phillips
Publisher: University of Texas Press
ISBN: 1477315519
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 252
Book Description
Horror is one of the most enduringly popular genres in cinema. The term “horror film” was coined in 1931 between the premiere of Dracula and the release of Frankenstein, but monsters, ghosts, demons, and supernatural and horrific themes have been popular with American audiences since the emergence of novelty kinematographic attractions in the late 1890s. A Place of Darkness illuminates the prehistory of the horror genre by tracing the way horrific elements and stories were portrayed in films prior to the introduction of the term “horror film.” Using a rhetorical approach that examines not only early films but also the promotional materials for them and critical responses to them, Kendall R. Phillips argues that the portrayal of horrific elements was enmeshed in broader social tensions around the emergence of American identity and, in turn, American cinema. He shows how early cinema linked monsters, ghosts, witches, and magicians with Old World superstitions and beliefs, in contrast to an American way of thinking that was pragmatic, reasonable, scientific, and progressive. Throughout the teens and twenties, Phillips finds, supernatural elements were almost always explained away as some hysterical mistake, humorous prank, or nefarious plot. The Great Depression of the 1930s, however, constituted a substantial upheaval in the system of American certainty and opened a space for the reemergence of Old World gothic within American popular discourse in the form of the horror genre, which has terrified and thrilled fans ever since.

Blue Moon
Author: Linda Windsor
Publisher: Thomas Nelson
ISBN: 1418526045
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 226
Book Description
Once in a Blue Moon, fame and fortune actually take a backseat to friendship and love. Jeanne Madison has earned her PhD at 26 and secured funding to find and excavate a treasure-laden 18th century caravel off the Yucatan coast. Between her mentor and a handful of graduate students, years of study, and all the government cooperation a marine archaeologist could want, she'll find the Luna Azul--or Blue Moon--by hook or by crook. When a tight budget forces her to hire Captain Gabriel Avery and his rust-bucket, Fallen Angel, the comely PhD's not sure it won't be the latter. The incorrigible skipper has the swarthy good looks of a Hollywood pirate and pushes every last one of Jeanne's buttons--even some she didn't know she had. His history of brawls, bullion, and well, romantic escapades may well sink the whole expedition. As the race for the Luna Azul treasure with an unscrupulous competitor gets heated, more than the fajitas start to sizzle. Soon Jeanne, the captain, and her crew must take a gigantic leap of faith, one that may salvage more than gold--perhaps even a hardened heart.
