Product Description
This is the definitive digital edition of both Jeremiah Amer's Dreaming of Atlantis and Rev. Joshua Jackson's I'm On My Own: The End of Greatness Abridged bringing the two strangest psychological space operas ever written together for the first time.

PLOT SUMMARY: Both works were designed using the theory of the Collective Unconscious so that each person who reads them together or apart or even a few lines will come away with a completely different idea of what the works are about. (Though the 7,000 page The End of Greatness would take a lifetime to read.)

On the surface each tells the daily experiences of an unnamed narrator on the last day of his life but, there are far too many deeper storylines to count [including multiple ciphers and hidden codes] on fingers and toes.

In the end the only question is what the reader thinks after they have read the works. Do you have the abilities to find everything that can be seen at the end of greatness? Or will you be driven mad by the strangeness? ... Read more

Product Description
The world cradling humankind is yet to be understood. Much of its archaic beginnings linger within the mind upon a plane of postulates, mystery and uncertain truth, the voice of myth from times long past. In these legends are glimmers of truths dismissed as lore.

This is such a story: the origin of a legend that spans from distant past to the present day, the origin of the vampire. Alluring and suspenseful, it is the dark, epic chronicle of a man changed in nature and body. Once a sentinal of a prosperous settlement, he is forced into a nocturnal existence, and instinctually compelled in ways that he fears will cost him his very humanity. He gained an unnatural longevity, and while the ages pass, the modern world develops around him. His existence is discovered by an old organization whose siege even he shall be hard pressed to survive.

A unique blend of historical setting and scientific theory
Genesis of the Hunter, author Joshua Martyr's debut novel, presents the story of a single vampire's life during two time periods: his initial transformation in the 1400s, and his quest during modern times to fully understand the genesis of his species.

The passages that take place in Berwick Upon the Tweed during the late 1400's detail the chance encounter with two vampires that forever changes the life of The Sentry, as we know the vampire during this time period. In fascinating detail The Sentry's process of transformation into a vampire is chronicled, including the fact that for some reason he retains a higher level of intellectual functioning than the creatures whom he fought did.

Flash forward to modern times where Gabriel, as we now know The Sentry, has employed immunologist / hematologist Dr. Canterberry to study the evolution of the vampire species. The investigations are being carried out both with urgency and in the utmost secrecy as there are people in shadowy positions of power (the CIA, Knights Templar and Illuminati are all hinted at) who seek to capture Gabriel in furtherance of their own agenda.

Author Joshua Martyr certainly has a grand vision of the story he wants to tell regarding the evolution of the creature we call vampires. As Richard Matheson's 1954 I Am Legend did, Genesis of the Hunter contains a substantial exposition on the possible scientific explanations for the existence of the vampire, and Martyr has put considerable effort into creating a scientific backstory on the evolution of the species.

The two time periods that alternate in the story could well have stood on their own as separate books, and the only minor quibble I had is that the jumping back and forth in time was a bit distracting at times. Having said that, there is no question that Martyr's approach is from a refreshing perspective, one that is not centered on either romance or gore but takes a more analytical approach to the legend.

So if you're looking for a story that tackles the legend of vampires with a blend of historical setting and scientific theory, give Genesis of the Hunter a try.

Great book!
This book was a super- fast read and hard to put down. I liked the different spin on the creation of vampires. I can't wait for book two! ... Read more

How to Move in the Power of God. Charles Simpson believes that Christians are to do more than simply engage in spiritual battle -- they're to win it! In COURAGEOUS LIVING he points out that courage is an essential ingredient for anyone who wants to succeed in life. Without courage, life's battles can be overwhelming, but with it, we can experience God's victory in our own lives, in the lives of family and friends, and in the world around us. As Christians, we are meant to live courageously, to display the courage to lead, the courage to stay on the course, the courage to lead, the courage to stay on course, teh courage to inspire others to act, and the courage to stay together as God's people. Step-by-step, the author draws out lessons from scripture, from the experience of Joshua and the chosen people as they respond to his call to fight for -- and win -- the promised land. --From the back cover. ...

The Wonderful Story of Joshua Glover, escaped slave
The co-authors of Joshua Glover give a thorough explanation of the dangers of being a conductor on the underground railroad and the terror of a re-claimed slave. The unique situation of Joshua's rescue and his final escape to Canada made a good story, but the authors explored Joshua's life near Toronto, giving new details of a life in post Civil War Canada. The story read like an exciting novel, but better as it was a real life story. The scholarship was extensive but not obtrusive. I recommend it to all who like nineteenth century history. ...

Product Description
From Josephine Baker to Judy Garland to Elton John, the figure of the diva occupies a fascinating place in American culture. This special issue of Camera Obscura explores the impact of divas (and divos) in film and popular culture and considers their fraught psychic and social positioning. Contributors examine how divas are frequently portrayed as both victims and villains and how they can be figures of worship as well as of ridicule for their attempts to confront, transcend, or carve a new space within the patriarchal dominant culture. This collection looks at how divas cause “category trouble” by refusing to stay in their proper culturally assigned roles—gender, race, and class—in order to live life on their own terms, making them important figures for other groups at the margins of the dominant culture.

The contributors to Fabulous! Divas I (the first in a two-part series) address how Baker’s dual image as sexualized black woman and multicultural mother has been used to question and invert stereotypes, how the diva witches in the Broadway musical Wicked have developed a cult following among adolescent girls, and how fans mix irony and sincerity in their admiration of daytime soap divas. One contributor explores the cultural work of camp, while another considers hair as a fetish item for diva devotees. Among the diva appreciations are a look at the life of the cross-dressing black disco diva Sylvester, a reading of Garland as a lesbian diva par excellence, an examination of Courtney Love as a martyr diva, and a consideration of how loving Julie Andrews can make people queer.

Contributors. Alexander Doty, Brett Farmer, Joshua Gamson, Chuck Jackson, Ramon Lobato, Edward R. O’Neill, Ann Pellegrini, Julie Levine Russo, Nick Salvato, Jeanne Scheper, Edward Baron Turk, Stacy Wolf ... Read more
