Strange Shadows

The Uncollected Fiction and Essays of Clark Ashton Smith

By: Steve Behrends

Strange Shadows opens a window into the dark, visionary worlds of Clark Ashton Smith, whose verbal black magic was a significant force in the American science fiction and fantasy movement of the 1930s. This annotated collection of his previously unpublished works provides a unique opportunity to savor the full range of Smith's literary contribution. Featuring fantasies and ironic short stories, prose-poems, plays, unfinished stories, and more than 100 story synopses, it offers valuable documentation and commentary on the work of one of the most distinctive and consistently interesting modern masters of the fantasy genre. An introduction by Robert Bloch (the author of Psycho) examines Smith's work and places it in historical perspective. Among the highlights of the collection are the satirical title story; variant drafts of two of Smith's most famous stories--The Coming of the White Worm and The Beast of Averoigne--and a play entitled The Dead Will Cuckold You, which has been hailed as a masterpiece. The editor's annotations include extensive quotations from Smith's correspondence to H. P. Lovecraft, August Derleth, and other important fantasy authors, together with textual commentary and discussion of connections between published and unpublished works. Information on lost writings and lists of published story titles, characters, and place names are supplied. An important resource for fantasy readers and scholars, this book will appeal to those with an interest in dark fantasy, science fiction, and the history of American science fiction.

How We Are Reverse Born Again

By: Steve Shores

It's a common thought that it's wise "to meet people where they are." But what if we don't know where we are? This book entertains the idea that, although humans can dock two fantastically complex machines in space and manage all manner of equally complex coordinates in the process, we may not know our own coordinates. The machines in space may be secured while we are adrift. How is it that we are so skilled at feats of engineering yet so alienated from ourselves that we aren't where we think we are? This book aims to shed light on how we arrive at such self-estrangement and how to begin clarifying where we actually are. The clarity, I hope, will make it easier for us to connect with one another so that our relationships are less troubled and are more likely to be transformed into sanctuary.

You Know the Way

Through the Great Divide

By: Steve LaBonte

You Know the Way is a fitting tribute to the memory of a great teacher who brought us comfort and joy when we were disturbed, but who was also fearless in disturbing us when he thought we were too comfortable. In this way, his homilies will continue to inspire us. — Don Klene Steve always questioned himself and challenged himself to grow and become a better Christian and a better human being. His preaching was just a simple sharing of the questions he asked himself. He spoke as one human to other humans, friends and companions on the journey, all of us struggling to grow and become our better selves. — Janice Braun The times in the last 35 years that I spent with Steve in the deaconate, he impressed me very much. But mostly the non-deaconate instances of being witness to the truth and violations of the Gospel by those in society that should uphold it are what I remember and cherish. This is the real deaconate, this spirit of God that I look for and Steve had it. — A note written by fellow Deacon after Steve’s death

Crying for a Vision and Other Essays

The Collected Steve Scott Vol. One

By: Steve Scott,Gord Wilson

In Crying for a Vision, British-born poet, musician and performance artist Steve Scott offers a challenge to artists and a manifesto for the arts. This new edition includes an introduction and study guide, four newly-collected essays and an interview with the author. Steve Scott is the author of Like a House on Fire: Renewal of the Arts in a Post-modern Culture and The Boundaries. "Steve Scott is a rare individual who combines a deep love and understanding of Scripture with a passion for the arts." -Steve Turner, author of Jack Kerouac: Angelheaded Hipster. "Steve Scott links a number of fields of inquiry that are usually perceived as unrelated. In doing so he hopes to open wider possibilities for Christians in the arts, who may perhaps be relieved to find that, in many ways, they were right all along." -Rupert Loydell, author of The Museum of Light.

Mystical Journey Behind the Mind

What Is Beyond Sex

By: Steve Benifiel

If asked "do you like sex" what would be your answer? Is it the sex you like or the 3 to 5 seconds of "going away" that occurs at the climax of sex? To climax is to stop. The sex stops at the arrival of the 3 to 5 seconds of the "going away." If the 3 to 5 seconds of "going away" is absent would you engage in sex for any other reason than to procreate? So is it the sex or the "going away" you like? It is not noticed yet they are separate events. Today you "go away" for 3 to 5 seconds and return, is it possible to "go away" and not return? Sure, it is very simple. You simply have not been shown. If asked "what is behind the mind," will your response be "nothing"? Have you ever has a "knowing" come to your mind? Where did it come from if not from behind the mind? You are the proof that there is something behind the mind. The book you are holding is about you. The only thing missing from your life is YOU.
