The Master of Suspense: The Life and Legacy of Alfred Hitchcock by Charles River Editors (63 Reviews)    Price verified 35 minutes ago

*Includes pictures. *Includes Hitchcock's quotes about directing and explains the key themes and techniques associated with his films. *Includes a bibliography for further reading. *Includes a table of contents. "I am a typed director. If I made Cinderella, the audience would immediately be looking for a body in the coach." - Alfred Hitchcock, 1956 In the opening pages of his seminal book-length study of Alfred Hitchcock, Hitchcock's Films (1965), Robin Wood famously asked, "Why Should We Take Hitchcock Seriously?" Wood then proceeded to offer a detailed examination of Hitchcock's career to that point, arguing that the Master of Suspense belonged among the ranks of the preeminent directors in Hollywood, and that his films were among the most important in American culture. When Wood was asking that question, he wasn't asking it rhetorically and was arguing for Hitchcock's relevance, which seems strange today because Hitchcock is now a Hollywood icon. No one would even think of asking that same question today, as just about every American is familiar with Hitchcock's work in some way or another. Hitchcock is regarded as perhaps the most famous and influential director in history, so Wood's question back in 1965 at least demonstrates the evolution of Hitchcock's reputation and the critical reception of his career. Indeed, as revered as Hitchcock is today, it is telling that he was never awarded an Academy Award during his career (though he was given an honorary Oscar after his retirement.) Vertigo (1958), for example, is now considered one of the landmark films of the classical Hollywood cinema, but it was both a box office and a critical flop upon its release. Other Hitchcock films, such as Psycho (1960) and North by Northwest (1959), performed well at the box office but were not viewed as high art. Indeed, it was not until the rise of Film Studies as an academic discipline - a development that saw Hitchcock's films get co-opted by scholars of the horror and ...

Preparing Yourself For The Return of Jesus (Life in Christ) by Joan Boney (3 Reviews)    Price verified 49 minutes ago

Before Jesus returns for the believers, there will be "a falling away" where churches fall away from scripture and set up doctrines opposite from scripture. II Thessalonians 2:3 In the NASB, this "falling away" is called the apostasy. We read, in II Thessalonians 2:3, that the day of the Lord will not come until this apostasy takes place in the temple of God, in the church. The apostle Peter told us how we should live as we wait for the coming of Jesus. II Peter 3:10-14 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of Him in peace, without spot, and blameless. Communicating with God through prayer by taking all troubles to God and waiting for God to bring HIS solutions is the only way we are going to be able to live in peace in the midst of the problems of this world. This book concerns the end times and living in peace, without spot, and blameless. Joan Boney

The Double Life of a Serial Murderer: The Life of Serial Killer Herb Baumeister (Serial Killer True Crime Books Book 10) by Jack Smith (106 Reviews)    Price verified 54 minutes ago

A Serial killer who never got to pay for his horrific crimes. Meet Herb Baumeister. On the surface, he appeared to be a successful business and family man, but underneath lay a twisted psychopath. The Fox Hollow Farm, which he owned in Indiana, became the stage of his gruesome murders and is now known for its paranormal activities... Download FREE with Kindle Unlimited! Westfield, Indiana is a quiet suburb of Indianapolis, among other equally quiet Indy suburbs with names such as Carmel, Zionsville, and Fishers. The gay nightclubs of the suburb were the kind of places where members of Indy's LGBT community would come to unwind, relax, and feel at ease. But it was these same havens of acceptance and community that became the disturbed man's favorite hunting grounds. He would lure young men into his car and then on to his million dollar estate where he would wine and dine the unsuspecting victims before strangling them to death. However, Herb Baumeister would ultimately commit suicide before answering for his crimes or even explaining to the larger world why he did what he did. Many psychoanalysts have poured over the behavior of this twisted man to create quite a startling portrait. According to them, Herb Baumeister appeared to be a man who felt himself better than most. It has been presumed that it was this feeling of omniscience that led Baumeister to believe that he could do things that others could not. Only he was cunning enough to live a double life, with both components safely compartmentalized and separate, without a soul knowing. Only he could navigate through the complex worlds of business, society, and family, while simultaneously hunting other human beings like animals. Baumeister believed that while most others were caught for their misdeeds, only he could get away with murder.

Violence Redeeming: Collected Short Stories 2009 - 2011 by Stephen Donald Huff (1 Review)    Price verified 54 minutes ago

Though doting parents often teach their children the futility of violence, every rational human being also understands the hypocrisy inherent in such lessons, since life surrounds us with countless examples of practical solutions wrought in savagery.

Perspective, then, becomes a matter of outcomes. Most of us will experience violence demeaning; few of us will know violence redeeming. Journey into the surreal and mysterious in "Constant Is the Sound", "Listen, Darling", "Tending the Garden of Evil", "Magicus", and "Airport". Have a frighteningly good time reading "They Walk", "The Tollbooth", and "Defile". Experience the true horror that is contemporary reality in "Bus Driver, Bus Driver", "Fatty, Fatty", and "Scrawl", or take a trip into the darkness of the past in "Spin the Wheels for Ill" and "Envoy to Klis".

One of the great Voulhirian mysteries concerns the nature of the Dire Vine Jungle in the heartland: a sink in the earth filled with trees so tall and layered canopies so thick that you couldn't see your own nose at high noon without a candle. Since the Jungle appeared, late in the dynasty of House Modius, travelers and merchants have steered far clear. Unfortunately, scholars are blind to the reason this jungle appeared and whatever possible reason it continues to haunt that once vibrant and beautiful valley, and how it subsists despite the damming of all waterways thereto. All we have, concerning the nature of the Dire Vine Jungle, is this testimony authored by an old man who, shortly after escaping the jungle, lost his mind while under observation in the sanitarium of Sevamorynn university. This is the wild and perhaps unbelievable story of what happened to his town, which stood in that very valley, when the Jungle came.

Chapter 11 Maltese Missing Links Malta Hole 10 The golfers repelled down the ropes like amateur spelunkers from the sea cave into the subterranean cavern. The men landed on a rocky outcropping first and then came the women. Lexi kept her long legs together like a good little girl, while Dixie kicked her feet in the air like a jungle girl swinging through the forest. The spit of land was surrounded by impenetrable darkness. The echoes of falling pebbles made the players think that they were closer to Hell than Heaven at that moment. They froze in place as they got their bearings. The only bright spot in view was the green. A wide shaft of sunshine broke through an opening high in the cavern ceiling. Its beam expanded to outline the entire thirty foot round area of the pin. The gulf between the fairway and the green was at least seventy five yards of nothingness. All of the players' balls were grouped together behind them on a narrow section of sand beneath an opening high up in the cavern wall. A reflective pool of water gave off an amber light for all to see. A calcium covered stalagmite rose out of the center of the glowing pool. What would have been a piece of cake shot above ground was a virtual nightmare far below the earth's mantle. If the player hit too high, the ball was bound to strike the multitude of stalactites and then fall into the abyss. If the player hit too short, the ball would miss the sandy putting surface and then tumble out of sight. It would be lost forever. Benny the host said, "This shot requires precision placement.

World of Shawn by Jordan M Ehrlich (30 Reviews)    Price verified 2 hours ago

This is the story of a lonely kid who develops a computer game, using what little of quantum physics that he has read, that renders game levels from maps of any format; the result is just a little too realistic. When he tries to combine this "World of Shawn" with a favorite game of his childhood, "World of One," he soon finds Worlds colliding, to the detriment of his friends. Shawn must step up and rectify things, rescue the princess and save the World. The interaction and constant dialogue between the characters in this story, as well as the humor and action intertwined, have drawn comparison to that in such works as "The Lord of the Rings," "Harry Potter," and "Narnia," so if a reader has an interest in any of those, as well as an interest in video games, either in the past or the present, it would be a safe bet that they would enjoy getting to know Shawn and his World! -- "Your Hero" (Book Excerpt) I watch you from afar, You don't know who I am, But I care for you, And would die to defend you. You are my Princess, And I am here to save you. I am Always, Your Hero -- "The One" (Bonus Material) When no one else is around, you are the one who listens. When all is darkness, you are the one who turns on the lights. When the evil in this world seems to have overcome the good and all that was once true is utterly gone, You are the one who keeps me going just one more day. You are the one that holds back the tide. You are the One. -- These are songs that helped me in the development of "World of Shawn" and songs that help recall scenes and elements from Shawn's World, in chronological order.

Only Sir Humphrey and his men at Mont St Bernard remain on French soil. French spies have infiltrated the Mont, but their dashing looks attract the attention of the lust-struck women of the castle. The local Mayor can't make up his mind whether he supports the English or French, depending on who is holding a knife to his throat at the time. A gallant young knight and a lady in waiting find themselves unwittingly trying to save the day as they encounter colourful characters and a pirate or two along the way. Unfortunately despite his military might, battles won and being ordained by God, no one seems to take King Louis very seriously. But perhaps his greatest threat to defeating the English are the two dimwit conscripts who slowly but surely cause havoc in everything they touch. ***********I*I "It is the minor characters who have all the best lines... quite a few chuckles along the way. Just don't take it seriously!" Actual history goes out of the window in this amusing tale by Jonathan Forth. King Harold the Donkey wants the lands he believes are his by right and King Louis (unnumbered) has other ideas. Incompetence reigns in the English ranks as they consistently lose battles and are forced to retreat back to England. Unfortunately, nobody has thought to tell Sir Humphrey, who holds the last stronghold of Mont St Bernard. Or rather, he has been told, but in a mix up in communications, he has been told to hold the small township instead of abandoning it. As in other novels by Mr Forth, it is the minor characters (with names like Clive and Pondscum) who have all the ...

The Simplest of Truths: Our Earthly, Human and Spiritual Ecology by Gregory Tutt (6 Reviews)    Price verified 2 hours ago

Fourth Edition The Simplest of Truths is a blend of essays and stories that focus on spirituality and relationships. It does not fit neatly into any mainstream ideology but instead centers on principles of fair-mindedness and respect as a foundation to traditional morality. While the framework of the book is on the religious side, its tone is less evangelical and more social and philosophic. Its purpose is to help reveal inner peace and kindle a sense of harmony. To press upon everyone the need to create an environment where the spiritual and the physical are in balance and that the individual and the community have a shared commitment and responsibility to the other's wellbeing. Condensed down to the very basics, the higher awareness we have of ourselves in relation to others and even with the world around us stems from the spiritual gifts we receive from God. Yet, enlightenment does not start until we recognize those gifts and then apply them by embracing three truths: peace, equality, and the sanctity of life. Uncovering the peace at our core is not a simple matter; however, once revealed and then paired with the two mandates, these three truths together have the power to transform our lives, our religions, our politics, and our world. For each of us, this starts by accepting the peace within, the God within, or maybe just the idea of a connection to a higher conscious and living universe. This spirals outwards from each of us when we embrace the mandates of equality and the sanctity of life. These truths should become the bedrock of our lives. Building upon this, we also need to adopt the principles of respect, honesty, integrity, and wisdom. These are our other defining principles, and these values are the living soil that rests upon the bedrock of the simplest of truths, and out of this fertile soil thrives truth and love. These emanate from the peace within, but they also must exist through the harmony of all our relationships that surround us, in both ...

But there are also a few less pleasant things that the British are known for, such as the rampage of the notorious murderer, "Jack the Ripper." Britain, in fact, has spawned a steady stream of notorious serial killers throughout its history. Lurking in the dark underbelly of British life are beasts who would not hesitate to do their worst to unsuspecting citizens. Leaving a trail of tragedy in their wake, these Beasts of Britain were absolutely ruthless in their killing sprees. Here in this book we take a look at some of Britain's worst serial killers.

A Dreamtime Dominion: Poetry Noir 1996 - 1997 by Stephen Donald Huff Price verified 3 hours ago

Mad pathos fetish broods while the black brow is creased to contemplate all manner of undoing, lays a thumb to the blade beneath a leering, sanguine eye and yearns unspeakably for a final message from God. Gross pathos fetish seethes to feed upon frustrations and terrors until the mind of a single lunatic is filled with dreams of dark endeavors that become a horror of blood, until pale the gaping face festooned in spider webs of splatters beholds a hand trembling at the wound, and moans out a final message to God. Drear pathos fetish blooms, that from an unwholesome vacuum, that from a fog of unfocused movements, a single buoying thought is borne, which thought becomes a thing of steel and lead and of murders' rich rewards; which thought looses fate's prolific forefinger within the guard to draw down the roughly righteous intent of God. Cruel pathos fetish feeds ever at the salted bonds of sanity as rats' teeth at the hemp, strands snapping, snapping to withstand the vigor of the unbearable load and let it down soft by inches, that each maddening hitch force a quick breath and quicker prayers to God. Poetry knits the fabric of our dreamtime dominions. Both are without substance, and both present the subjective essence of a spinning compass. Embrace such insight, if you must, but do so at your own risk - nothing here will light your darkness.
