Epitome of Evil
Author: Michael J. Brochert
Publisher: Gatekeeper Press
ISBN: 1662929366
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 418
Book Description
Jack Michaels and Sarah Garvey stand in stark contrast to the coddled college students whose academic experience rarely intersects with brutal reality. Twenty years after the devastating 1967 Detroit riots, they are recruited by their advisor to secure evidence disputing the official findings of the Kerner Commission of 43 deaths. Their innocent inquiry triggers a barrage of bizarre life-threatening events from a cabal of prominent city officials determined to conceal their misdeeds; a wealthy sociopath, who considers violence an aphrodisiac; and, an elusive serial killer hell bent on revenge for disturbing his lair. The trio unleash a torrent of indiscriminate violence resulting in multiple murders, assaults, kidnapping, rape and arson. Distrustful of the police, Jack enlists the aid of his fellow Dearborn Beer Distributor warehouse workers. A rag-tag group of misfits better suited as circus roustabouts than professional sentinels: Roy Blue, an ex-con former gang leader, now head hi-lo driver and professional gambler; Jimmy Pepatino, foreman and retired semi-pro hockey player who still sports his stolen No. 9 Red Wings hockey jersey, roller-blades and stick, as everyday attire; Max Torpo, forklift operator and former Vietnam tunnel rat, still suffering with PTSD; and, Rodeo, the mechanic, who is just plain insane. Hilarious unconventional methods are employed to liberate their “college boy” buddy and his sweetheart in a roller-coaster thrill ride of death and destruction.

Here Be Dragons
Author: Stefan Ekman
Publisher: Wesleyan University Press
ISBN: 0819573248
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 297
Book Description
First in-depth study of the use of landscape in fantasy literature Winner of the Mythopoeic Scholarship Award for Myth and Fantasy Studies (2016) Fantasy worlds are never mere backdrops. They are an integral part of the work, and refuse to remain separate from other elements. These worlds combine landscape with narrative logic by incorporating alternative rules about cause and effect or physical transformation. They become actors in the drama—interacting with the characters, offering assistance or hindrance, and making ethical demands. In Here Be Dragons, Stefan Ekman provides a wide-ranging survey of the ubiquitous fantasy map as the point of departure for an in-depth discussion of what such maps can tell us about what is important in the fictional worlds and the stories that take place there. With particular focus on J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, Ekman shows how fantasy settings deserve serious attention from both readers and critics. Includes insightful readings of works by Steven Brust, Garth Nix, Robert Holdstock, Terry Pratchett, Charles de Lint, China Miéville, Patricia McKillip, Tim Powers, Lisa Goldstein, Steven R. Donaldson, Robert Jordan, and Neil Gaiman and Charles Vess.
