5/24/2023 0 Comments Transmetropolitan absolute vol 2These were later collected as part of the book's trade paperback program. The series also featured two "specials" ( I Hate It Here and Filth of the City) with text pieces written by the Spider Jerusalem character and illustrated by a wide range of comic artists. The series was later reprinted in a series of ten trade paperback volumes. The monthly series began in 1997 and came to its conclusion in 2002. Spider Jerusalem dedicates himself to fighting the corruption and abuse of power of two successive United States presidents he and his ("filthy") assistants strive to keep their world from turning more dystopian than it already is while dealing with the struggles of fame and power, brought about due to the popularity of Spider via his articles. It chronicles the battles of Spider Jerusalem, infamous renegade gonzo journalist of the future, a homage to gonzo journalism founder Hunter S. The series was originally part of the short-lived DC Comics imprint Helix Comics, but upon the end of the book's first year the series was moved to the Vertigo imprint as DC Comics cancelled the Helix Comics imprint. Transmetropolitan is a postcyberpunk comic book series written by Warren Ellis with art by Darick Robertson and published by DC Comics. 5/24/2023 0 Comments Stacey halls the foundlingMeade from the hospital who takes pity on Beth, She is given the position of a nurse maid in the home of Alexandra who happens to be the widow of David, the father of Beth’s missing child. Six years later, true to her word, Beth goes back to the Foundling to claim her child but is faced with the horrifying news that the records show Clara her little girl has already been claimed and by Beth herself. I have found a new author to follow in Stacey Halls.Ģ4 hours after Beth gives birth a baby girl, she goes to the Foundling hospital to keep her in their care until she is financially stable enough to take her back and look after the child herself. After just reading her debut novel “The Familiars” which blew my mind away, I wondered if this book would give the same punch the first one gave and I was not disappointed. ”Like the Thames tide the city had a temperament, and it could give or take.” – Stacey Halls, The Foundling.Īnother absolutely brilliant story by Stacey Halls. 5/24/2023 0 Comments The wife upstairs reviewThey quickly fall for each other and it doesn’t take long for Jane to move in with him.

No one really knows who she is and she wants to keep it that way. She works at a coffee shop and walks dogs in a really nice neighborhood just to make ends meet. The story takes place in Birmingham, Alabama not long after Jane moves there. The Wife Upstairs is a mystery/thriller by Rachel Hawkins. Amazon | Bookshop | Goodreads The Wife Upstairs book summary: 5/24/2023 0 Comments The passage justin cronin reviewBut the scientists, government agents and military men seriously underestimate what the virus can do - the convicts are turned into giant vampires who are virtually invulnerable. The catalyst for these changes is a virus discovered in a rare species of Colombian bats, and the first test subjects are a dozen death-row convicts, men who are offered the chance of life if they ‘volunteer’ for the project. A rogue element of the US government sets in motion a secret project to develop super-soldiers with hugely enhanced physical powers and a capacity for instant self-healing. The premise does combine several familiar genre tropes. I bought each volume in hardback as they appeared, and was utterly gripped. There are passages of technical explanation any writer of science-fiction or thrillers would be proud of, but also moments of genuine lyricism that will linger in the mind. It explores character and relationships, it has intimacy and grandeur, melancholy and joy. His trilogy - The Passage, The Twelve and The City of Mirrors - is an apocalyptic novel with vampires, but it also has enormous literary merit. I’ve always found that attitude to be enormously irritating, so I’m pleased to say Justin Cronin’s trilogy of doorstep-sized novels make it look as narrow-minded as it really is. 5/24/2023 0 Comments The comfort book by matt haigIt is yes to having space you need to live” “External events are neutral. And that sometimes all you need to do in order to rise up again is to keep moving forward.” Many aphorisms sound right, if hardly groundbreaking-e.g., a quick route to happiness is making someone else happy “No is a good word. His father said to him, “If we keep going in a straight line we’ll get out of here.” He was correct, a bit of wisdom Haig turned to during his depression when he focused on moving forward: “It is important to remember the bottom of the valley never has the clearest view. On being lost, Haig recounts an episode with his father when they got turned around in a forest in France. Much is left unsaid and left up to readers to dissect. Most chapters are only a few sentences long, the longest running for three pages. The author’s words are instigations, hopeful first steps toward illumination. This makes some of the material worthy of a second look, even when it feels runic or contrary to experience. Years ago, Haig experienced an extended period of suicidal depression, so he comes at many of these topics-pain, hope, self-worth, contentment-from a hard-won perspective. Like many collections of this sort-terse snippets of advice, from the everyday to the cosmic-some parts will hit home with surprising insight, some will feel like old hat, and others will come across as disposable or incomprehensible. Bestselling author Haig offers a book’s worth of apothegms to serve as guides to issues ranging from disquietude to self-acceptance. This is your next must-read beach-read from an exciting new voice. This is a radiant debut that packs an emotional wallop." - Emily Henry, #1 New York Times bestselling author of People We Meet on Vacation "A sweet story about second chances, and how the future we imagine for ourselves is never quite what it turns out to be." - Jodi Picoult, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Book of Two Ways and Wish You Were Here "The magic and romance of summer is palpable." - Popsugar "Carley Fortune perfects the nostalgia of young summer love and the choices that change us forever in Every Summer After, a smart and delightful novel that will tug on your heartstrings, and more than satisfy fans of Emily Henry. Fortune's wit is sharp, her prose is gorgeous, and her characters thrum with the rare kind of life and breath we readers are constantly on the lookout for. "Any book that begins with a cocktail and a heartbreak-induced haircut has a strong likelihood of being just the book for me, but Every Summer After outshone even my highest hopes. 5/24/2023 0 Comments The struggle vampire diariesNo individual item/content/book can be separately canceled/replaced/returned.

The overall structure of the book shows a penchant for the Synoptics, with Mark (89 pages), Matthew (86 pages) and Luke (90 pages) receiving on average significantly more space than John (65 pages). Given the topic addressed, the author naturally uses a fourfold division, allotting a section for each of the four Gospels and reading them in chronological, rather than canonical order. The prolegomena to the new inquiry came in the form of a little book entitled Reading Backwards: Figural Christology and the Fourfold Gospel Witness (2014), a distilled version of the much larger manuscript that eventually, in very dire circumstances for its author (a grueling battle with pancreatic cancer), was published as Echoes of Scripture in the Gospels. Review by Emanuel Conțac, Pentecostal Theological Institute of Bucharest.Īfter writing two seminal books on the complex issue of Old Testament interpretation in the Pauline corpus ( Echoes of Scripture in the Letters of Paul, 1989 The Conversion of Imagination, 2005), Richard Hays has moved into a different field, applying to the Gospels the ample expertise gained during his arduous engagement with Paul’s thought and his reading of the Hebrew Scriptures. 5/22/2023 0 Comments The killing dance anita blakeDescription Īnita Blake is a petite woman of mixed German and Mexican heritage with curly long raven hair and pale skin with scars scattered over her body. Hamilton stated that she created the character after perceiving a gender inequality in detective fiction, with female characters rarely getting the same treatment as male heroes of the genre. The series takes place in a parallel world in which supernatural characters like vampires and werewolves exist alongside regular humans, with Blake's jobs including the re-animation of the dead as well as the hunting and executing of supernatural creatures (mostly vampires) that have broken the law.
