Stillhouse lake by rachel caine6/10/2023 ![]() It was depressing to see that anonymous internet outrage was able to inspire the same level of terror as a psycho-killer. This is the first book I’ve read that deals with the lives of those hunted by an angry internet mob. ![]() She is a wholesome character that I enjoy reading very much. ![]() At the same time, she has the same insecurities and vulnerabilities that every mother has. ![]() She recovers from her horrific past and reinvents himself in four years, she goes to any lengths to protect her kids, and she takes down bad guys. Gwen Proctor is a badass without fanfare.I’ve never read a crime series like this one before and it really worked for me for the following reasons: Danger stalks the footsteps of the Proctor family in the form of the ingenious ex-husband/father, merciless internet trolls, neighbourhood drug dealers, and even high-school bullies. The four-book (and continuing) mystery thriller series written by Rachel Caine is about Gwen Proctor, a reincarnated killer mom escaping from her past as a serial killer’s innocent wife. The Stillhouse Lake series is another one of my great Kindle Unlimited finds. ![]() Demon by Jack Younger6/10/2023 ![]() ![]() GROTH: Who did you deal with at DC? Did you have an editor that you dealt with directly? I made enough money to enjoy myself a little more than I would have if I didn’t have enough money. I was happy because I made enough money to give to my parents. But the idea was the artist came from a poor section of the city. GROTH: But still at that time they owned everything you did, they paid a low page rate, they kept the original art. There was also Timely and Dell and a lot of others. And DC wasn’t the only publishing house in the field. I’ll just say that nobody in the field had a contract from anybody. GROTH: When you say they were fair - you still didn’t get to own the strips you drew. I always liked DC - they were fair, which was very rare in comics. I felt National had always been a respectable house, a prestige house. ![]() So how did your affiliation with National come about? Did you just drop by the offices and look for work? And I believe you also created Challengers of the Unknown for National in ’58. GROTH: I believe you started the Skymasters strip in ’57. From the TCJ Archives Jack Kirby Interview ![]() How Children Fail by John C. Holt6/10/2023 ![]() ![]() Like good soldiers, they control their fears, live with them, and adjust themselves to them. ![]() ![]() It is these signs, in children's faces, voices, and gestures, in their movements and ways of working, that tell me plainly that most children in school are scared most of the time, many of them very scared. They can read the grossest signs of fear they know what the trouble is when a child clings howling to his mother but the subtler signs of fear escaping them. Perhaps most people do not recognize fear in children when they see it. What is most surprising of all is how much fear there is in school. So we have two problems, not one: to stop children from being afraid, and then to break them of the bad thinking habits into which their fears have driven them. ![]() The simple answer is, "Because they're scared." I used to suspect that children's defeatism had something to do with their bad work in school, but I thought I could clear it away with hearty cries of "Onward! You can do it!" What I now see for the first time is the mechanism by which fear destroys intelligence, the way it affects a child's whole way of looking at, thinking about, and dealing with life. “For many years I have been asking myself why intelligent children act unintelligently at school. ![]() Lovecraft country novel book buy6/10/2023 ![]() ![]() At the manor, Atticus discovers his father in chains, held prisoner by a secret cabal named the Order of the Ancient Dawn-led by Samuel Braithwhite and his son Caleb-which has gathered to orchestrate a ritual that shockingly centers on Atticus. ![]() ![]() Braithwhite-heir to the estate that owned one of Atticuss ancestors-they encounter both mundane terrors of white America and malevolent spirits that seem straight out of the weird tales George devours.

It’s a wonderful technique for showing us the suffocating familiarity of this repetitive, predictable, intimate life lived in a very small house with a very large family. The only way the narrator could know all this detail without seeing it, of course, is because he has seen it so many times before, and it always happens in exactly the same way. He’s imagining “how he must be”, and he goes on to imagine how his father will get up and go downstairs, and we get another highly detailed scene told in the future tense as his father struggles to button his trousers with the three remaining fingers on his right hand while holding his shoes in his left, etc. The description goes on, taking in the bubbles of saliva at the corners of his mouth, the way his left arm and leg are hanging over the bed and touching the floor, as if ready to respond to an emergency.īut the interesting thing is that the narrator hasn’t seen any of this. “lying there on his back with his thinning iron-grey hair tousled upon the pillow and with his hollow cheeks and even his jet-black eyebrows rising and falling slightly with the erratic pattern of his breathing.” There are no stylistic fireworks here, but every word seems carefully chosen, and even the simple language conveys a boatload of meaning.įor example, we start with a beautifully detailed description of the narrator’s father lying in bed: MacLeod’s prose, like the story itself, seems simple but is actually quite complex. ![]() I dare you ilsa madden mills read online6/10/2023 ![]() ![]() I’m not used to such blatant male attention. I blush wildly as I adjust my black cat-eye glasses. He’s been staring at me, and now that he’s caught, he raises his glass as a half-grin crosses his face. My gaze moves across the crowd, stopping on a tall guy with dark blond hair, broad shoulders, and a cocky smile. I’ve just tossed mine back and set down my cup when a prickling sensation washes over me, giving me goose bumps. ![]() On top are various bottles of alcohol, and I grab the Fireball to pour shots. Alcohol at two o’clock.” We weave through the crowd, headed in that direction, and eventually we reach the bar, which is really just a long collapsible table someone set up. Might as well put a crazy college party on that list. Ever since I moved here from North Carolina, I’ve been pushing myself to try new things. “Isn’t this better than watching cat videos on a Saturday night? What do you want to do first?” “See?” she says as we take in the bonfire. ![]() ![]() It’s mostly for Greeks and jocks and popular people, yet here I am, a mere freshman, hanging out with my bubbly redheaded roommate, Skye. It’s also home to the best damn annual bonfire party at prestigious Waylon University, which is currently happening right now in the middle of a cotton field.
