Compared to all the other ghost islands of the Caribbean, it was sure to suck. ![]() She didn’t want to go there, even if it wasn’t really there, just the ghost of a place trapped in the storm. She spotted a coastline, the low rise of a barrier island, and the sight of it was the taste of salt and the smell of cotton candy. Juana swung around the mast to squint into the blue horizon, toward the thing that tugged on the boat like a net. It came to her that the boat wanted to go to Hispaniola as much as she did, but it couldn’t, something dragged it back. Swearing, Juana held onto the mast, the rough wood sun-warm against her hands. She pointed it away from the Mainland again and the boat spun out of the gust, splintered wood creaking and shredded sails flapping, blown back to the north as ungracefully as a discarded plastic bag. ![]() And you’d think witches would be born knowing how to sail boats on the wind toward the Caribbean but no, apparently not, and that was…that was bullshit, was what it was. You’d think flying would be the hard part, but no, it was steering. She had found the broken sailboat in the south wind and tried to pilot it to Hispaniola, but it wouldn’t go in the right direction. ![]()

It's been four decades since The Dead Zone, King's fifth novel (not counting the ones he released as Richard Bachman), was published, and revisiting it now reveals that it has only grown more frightening with time. Ambiguity can be a powerful element of horror fiction - is the house really haunted or are you just going crazy? - but mere pages into The Dead Zone, King wants to make it clear that a bad man with big ambitions is stalking the landscape. When he's sure no one is home, he gleefully kicks the dog to death. The very first time we meet Greg Stillson - the rising political star who becomes the villain of King's 1979 novel - he's selling Bibles door to door when he comes across a very loud dog. ![]() Stephen King makes sure you know that right away. There are not very fine people on both sides in The Dead Zone. ![]() 7/7/2023 0 Comments David copperfield novel![]() At several stages in the novel David confesses his inability to distinguish ‘impression’ from ‘actual remembrance’ and admits to the ‘mist of fancy’ which hangs over ‘well-remembered facts’. ![]() It is described by its narrator as a ‘written memory’ but the unreliable nature of this claim is often overlooked by readers and critics alike. ‘It’s in vain, Trot, to recall the past, unless it works some influence upon the present’ĭavid Copperfield (1849-50) is presented as a fictional autobiography, constructed from the traces of remembrance.

In Misquoting Jesus, Ehrman tells the story behind the mistakes and changes that ancient scribes made to the New Testament and shows the great impact they had upon the Bible we use today. When world-class biblical scholar Bart Ehrman first began to study the texts of the Bible in their original languages he was startled to discover the multitude of mistakes and intentional alterations that had been made by earlier translators. ![]() 7/6/2023 0 Comments Good behavior molly keane![]() ![]() It was the worst kind of bad manners to mourn and grovel in grief.'This Folio Society edition is introduced by novelist Jane Gardam, who points out how Molly Keane's own Anglo-Irish upbringing made her well acquainted with 'the dangers of reticence, of hiding passions, of.
