The young girl in my story lives in a fantasy world most of the time. Her father works six days a week. She has no mother or siblings to play with, except for school she is by herself. So she created a fantasy world with playmates that she talks to. It takes up most of her time after school when her father is at work. Halloween spooks and goblins have always fascinated her. She does not understand the spirit world, but she has become involved with a friendly spirit. The experience seams so real that she becomes afraid and intrigued. Is it real or is it her imagination playing tricks? Of course, she couldn't tell anyone. The story becomes bizarre, scary, full of chuckles, and entertaining. It is the kind of story that you can't stop reading.
Just as a traveler crossing a continent won’t sense the curvature of the earth, one lifetime of reading can’t grasp the largest patterns organizing literary history. This is the guiding premise behind Distant Horizons, which uses the scope of data newly available to us through digital libraries to tackle previously elusive questions about literature. Ted Underwood shows how digital archives and statistical tools, rather than reducing words to numbers (as is often feared), can deepen our understanding of issues that have always been central to humanistic inquiry. Without denying the usefulness of time-honored approaches like close reading, narratology, or genre studies, Underwood argues that we also need to read the larger arcs of literary change that have remained hidden from us by their sheer scale. Using both close and distant reading to trace the differentiation of genres, transformation of gender roles, and surprising persistence of aesthetic judgment, Underwood shows how digital methods can bring into focus the larger landscape of literary history and add to the beauty and complexity we value in literature.
Humanity has been overthrown. Mutated animals run amuck in a post-apocalyptic world. Think you've seen this type of thing before? Well, not the way TED McKEEVER tells it. Follow the last remaining human, HE, as he encounters every manner of bizarreness the devastated town of Blackwater has to offer, in this collection of McKEEVER's brooding, darkly humorous series, The Superannuated Man. Plus, it contains a substantial amount of bonus material, including . . . doodles.
Part graphic novel travelogue, part tongue-in-cheek travel guide, this collection gathers the adventures of caustic cartoonist Ted Rall in the wild and woolly central Asian countries, a veritable powder keg sitting atop the oil the world will need tomorrow. The book combines articles with comics in chapters that relate Rall’s experiences retracing the legendary Silk Road, from the sublime history of China to the absurdity of the present-day petty dictatorships of the “The ’Stans,” to which the author had the temerity—or perhaps stupidity—to return, including once with a group of listeners on his radio show, on a dare. This always-lively compendium offers readers an exotic adventure, satire, and a fun way to find out more about an often overlooked part of the world that looms in importance with its immense, and immensely coveted, reserves of oil.
John Wesley distinguished between essential doctrines on which agreement or consensus is critical and opinions about theology or church practices on which disagreement must be allowed. Though today few people join churches based on doctrinal commitments, once a person has joined a church it becomes important to know the historic teachings of that church's tradition. In Methodist Doctrine: The Essentials, Ted Campbell outlines historical doctrinal consensus in American Episcopal Methodist Churches in a comparative and ecumenical dialogue with the doctrinal inheritance of other major families of Christian tradition. In this way, the book shows both what Methodist churches historically teach in common with ecumenical Christianity and what is distinctive about the Methodist tradition in its various contemporary forms. Documents examined include The Twenty-Five Articles of Religion, The General Rules, Wesley's Standard Sermons and Explanatory Notes upon the New Testament, The Methodist Social Creed, and the Apostles' Creed.

Harald van Fleeceman managed to die the same way he had churned through life - by putting the touch on everybody he could get hold of, leaving a trail of IOUs he couldn't pay off in a thousand years and fooling everyone including himself about what he was up to. Van Fleeceman's fondness for luxury cars was astounding for a priest. First, it was a new Volvo, the modest 240 model but that one didn't last long until it was traded for the larger 940. That was a mere interlude on the way to a shiny green Audi but it was too small as was a Mercedes Benz. Finally he got into the BMWs, first a 636i and then a 735i and finally a magnificent Pearl Gray 741il. How did he finance all of these cars? Loans upon more loans upon even more loans. From The Great Fleeceman It was one of the dumbest jobs I ever got but then there aren't all that many jobs for ex-priests. I was probably damn fortunate to get signed on driving a double trailer rig filled with empty beer cans. You picked up the trailers at the trucking terminal, went down the road about thirty miles to the can plant and waited around until the jackasses got good and ready to load your trailers. That usually took a couple of hours since they loaded their pals' trailers first and took two or three breaks in between. Then when you finally had two trailers filled to their roofs with pallets of cans, you hit the New York Thruway heading for the brewery, a hundred ninety miles west. When you got there it was more hanging around while more jackasses unloaded the cans so you could back on the Thruway. I hauled lots of cans before I got canned. From Empty Cans
