Описание: A "marvelously macabre" (Kirkus Reviews) history of the bizarre afterlives of corpses of the celebrated and notorious dead.

For some of the most influential figures in history, death marked the start of a new adventure. The famous deceased have been stolen, burned, sold, pickled, frozen, stuffed, impersonated, and even filed away in a lawyer's office. Their fingers, teeth, toes, arms, legs, skulls, hearts, lungs, and nether regions have embarked on voyages that crisscross the globe and stretch the imagination.

Counterfeiters tried to steal Lincoln's corpse. Einstein's brain went on a cross-country road trip. And after Lord Horatio Nelson perished at Trafalgar, his sailors submerged him in brandy--which they drank.

From Alexander the Great to Elvis Presley, and from Beethoven to Dorothy Parker, Rest in Pieces connects the lives of the famous dead to the hilarious and horrifying adventures of their corpses, and traces the evolution of cultural attitudes toward death.

Описание: A cruel mother seeks revenge on her wealthy, reclusive daughter. The fourth book of a unique and deeply emotional memoir by a woman named Carmen Angelina Coletti, a prodigy who was taken out of school when she was twelve years old and isolated from the world. Her strong, often apocalyptic voice gives a real world account of the unthinkable, of where her mother has been for twenty years, and the unbelievable circumstances of her return.

Abused since early childhood, her music is her refuge, with a gift for composition so complete that she is likely the world's first female great composer, some believing her to be the most gifted composer of all time. This somber, poetic story reveals a uniquely tragic mother-daughter bond, and its literal connection across time itself.

Описание: A beautiful young woman is a serial rapist and murderer of other women. A strange, disturbing account by a woman named Raven Moon, who takes out a lifetime of rage on unsuspecting young and older women. Her frustrated, often poetic voice is oddly restrained, with only the hint of a cold-blooded killer's insanity.

A survivor of extreme childhood abuse and neglect, Raven befriends female college professor Simone Cory and bank teller Chelsea Lynn Baxter, both survivors of similar chilhood trauma and cruelty. Isolated in Black Mountain, North Carolina, their friendship whirls into a perfect storm of rage and regret, as Raven lures the two women deeper into a secret life of kidnapping, rape and murder of wealthy, sophisticated suburban women. In a voice rich with dark truth and revelation, Raven uncovers a story of uncompromising evil, through lives burdened by a history of apocalyptic mother-daughter violence and tragedy.

Описание: Two female vampires crave the blood of innocent young girls and women. A deeply disturbing glimpse at the darkest side of humanity, as told through the lives of Iris and Anya Greenwood, two women who live as a prosperous suburban married couple. Iris is the portrait of a woman tortured by dark instinct, held prisoner by a private lust and craving for the unspeakable.

Hidden in a wealthy suburb of Richmond, Virginia, Iris and Anya have accepted the fullness of who they are, and the terrifying acts they must perform in secret to survive. Burdened by generations of darkness and hidden depravity, Iris uncovers the depths of human evil exposed, and the reality of a natural, apocalyptic bloodlust passed down from mother to daughter. The Greenwood revelation is the truth of human hypocrisy unmasked, and the deadly corruption that often lurks unseen behind the walls of privilege, and behind the smiling faces of cultured civility.

Описание: An abused woman is the greatest composer who ever lived. The twelfth and final book of prose and poetry from the mind of a woman named Carmen Angelina Coletti, a prodigy who was taken out of school when she was twelve years old and isolated from the world. Her simple, honest voice remains the picture of a young and reclusive country wife.

Abused since early childhood, her music is her refuge, with a gift for composition so complete that she is likely the world's first female great composer, some believing her to be the most gifted composer of all time. Conceived and written for her own private journals, these verses are the soul of a poet and musical genius, as if arisen from another place along the timeline--from the heart of an abused woman of faith who was raised in isolation, by a mother driven to madness by grief.

Описание:

Originally published in 1963. The essays in this volume are critical and, with one exception, directed against the philosophic movement of pragmatism. The Thirteen Pragmatisms is an exercise in logical analysis and is a challenge to a group of philosophers who have taken on a collective name to show how their apparent diversities are to be reconciled. Few philosophers would call themselves orthodox followers of this train of thought, so these essays can be studied without a sense of personal injury that deadens the critical faculty and obscures insight. In The Thirteen Pragmatisms and Other Essays, logical technique is on display: the author's keenness in spotting double meanings and his ability to rephrase them in univalent form. This collection of essays should afford students of philosophy a set of cases in which they need not take sides but which give them an analytical method they can practice themselves on contemporary issues. The fact that these essays are on the whole critical gives them a heuristic value that dogmatic or expository essays would not have.

Описание: A billionaire's wife has an affair with another woman. A deeply truthful and dramatic account by a woman named Sarah Bishop, who has an intensely sexual love affair with a struggling young female novelist. Her somber, poetic voice is the portrait of a wealthy mother burdened by upper class loneliness and bitter, private desperation.

Crushed by the years of chaos and family discord, Sarah meets beautiful young writer Austria Goldman, whose own desperate, lonely spirit allows the two women a quick and powerful connection. As their love deepens, so to does Sarah's knowledge of Austria's past, as a survivor of a profoundly deviant and abusive relationship with her mother. Their story uncovers a tragic history of mother-daughter violence and perversion, even while a great evil reaches out to them from Austria's past, plunging both women headlong towards a dark and unknown future tragedy.

Описание: A teenage girl missing for twenty years returns home, looking the same age as when she left. A strange, ghostly glimpse into the life of sixteen year old Caley Littledove, who mysteriously returns to her parent's home one morning after two decades, having not aged a single day. Caley's account is a fascinating detour into the twilight of human history, as she struggles to come to grips with the impossible, and the inexplicable loss of twenty years come and gone.

A prisoner of a world slipped forward in time, Caley is haunted by the life of her adopted sister Angela Tao, who was raised in upper class family violence and secret tragedy. Caley's dark, uncompromising voice is heavy laden with latter day grief and revelation, and the apocalyptic shock of her unexplainable trip through time. Through the tragic life her older sister lived (who was her younger sister twenty years before) Caley is forced to confront the truth of the modern mother daughter dynamic uncovered, and the depravities that lay hidden behind the privileged walls of cultured civility.
