Crawler from the Grave-After the death of her husband, a woman receives a call from his sworn enemy asking about the location of a sacred ring that was buried with him. It's a little unfortunate that this section moves away from him being responsible for sourcing the pieces as he instead collects them from accidents not of his doing but the Gothic atmosphere and template for everything still carries this one along nicely. The idea of his fury over the family legacy and attempt to get his affairs in order by outdoing the work of his ancestors which leads him down the path he does is well-handled and manages to influence the second half with his attempt to build his two creations. On the whole, this is a serviceable enough effort for getting this one going. As he goes about selecting various parts from a series of locals, he soon encounters an unexpected side-effect of his work.

Inspired by the original novel, a series of alternate tales and stories about the Frankenstein legend. Like these opening lines from “Love III,” the very last poem Herbert ever wrote, inserted into a little book called The Temple, which was published the year after his death: John of the Cross reminds us, “we shall be judged on love.”Īnd so, who knows, maybe they both made a good death, going happily home to God - fortified, one likes to think, by a line or two of inspired devotional verse. Are we truly ready to be received into the arms of Almighty God? “In the evening of our life,” St. Because, at the moment of the final summons, it is not the outward bearing that matters, nor the circumstances that determine our taking leave of this world, but the inward disposition of the soul. Herbert’s end, which came some years before, was, by all accounts, a far more peaceful affair: he died of consumption, in his own bed, in the year 1633.īut only God can say which of the two made a better end. Which it did, in January 1649, following seven years of bloody Civil War. While awaiting execution by order of Cromwell and the parliamentary rebels who sought his head, England’s doomed king, Charles I, we are told, sought consolation in the poetry of George Herbert, whose religious themes would certainly appeal to a broken and deposed monarch on whom the ax was about to fall.

I had the pleasure and honor of serving as Grace’s editor for this project, and we also discuss our differing visions for the re-write. Grace talks about writing the original book in 1991, how it became an underground classic, how her views on education (and her relationship to her 26-year-old voice) evolved over three decades, and how the book was updated for the 21st century.

I still feel guilt curling up inside me when I think about it. My instincts took over, and just one hard elbow to her jaw knocked her down. He almost loses his first fight as an initiate to a female, because he won't hit her. In the second story, "The Initiate", Four's main internal conflict is that he doesn't want to hit a girl. The new name reminds him of his strengths, and helps him mentally move away from the weakness he felt at the hands of his abusive father. It's here, in Dauntless, that he chooses a new name: Four. There, he discovers that he only has four fears: heights (falling from heights to be exact), claustrophobia, his hidden violent side, and his evil father, Marcus. When it comes time to choose his faction, he switches from Abnegation to Dauntless. Tobias is trapped in an abusive home, subject to his father's violent outbursts, and he feels he has no way out.īut he does! This story is called "The Transfer" and transfer he does. He's not happy about his identity or his situation, and we can't blame him. He's still just plain Tobias, which is like being an ice cream sundae without the chocolate sauce, banana, nuts, or cherry on top. If we were taking things chronologically, the first story in this collection, "The Transfer," would be the first time we meet Four. Which sounds more dramatic than it might. Not to mention the existential sorrow we all might be afflicted with, which is that we, and what we love, will soon be annihilated. Everyone, regardless, always, of everything. Gay wrote one essay per day over a year and took the time to find delights in his everyday life. Might, even, join.Īnd what if the wilderness – perhaps the densest wild in there – thickets, bogs, swamps, uncrossable ravines and rivers (have I made the metaphor clear?) – is our sorrow? Or, to use Smith’s term, the “intolerable.” It astonishes me sometimes – no, often – how ever person I get to know – everyone, regardless of everything, by which I mean everything – lives with some profound personal sorrow. Ross Gay’s wonderful collection entitled The Book of Delights honors familiar sights, sounds, and interactions by describing the wonder and joy found within each. The Book of Delights is a collection of lyrical essays. That the body, the life, might carry a wilderness, an unexplored territory, and that yours and mine might somewhere, somehow, meet. Ross Gay, author of “The Book of Delights.”Įxcerpt: Chapter: Joy is Such a Human MadnessĪmong the most beautiful things I’ve ever heard anyone say came from my student Bethany, talking about her pedagogical aspirations or ethos, how she wanted to be as a teacher, and what she wanted her classrooms to be: “What if we joined our wildernesses together?” Sit with that for a minute. In the author’s words: ‘To supporters he was the saintly White King, crowned in robes the colour of innocence. Yet he had a magical quality that inspired lasting devotion, and died for his principles. ‘The man of blood, with his long, essenced hair’ aroused real hatred among enemies who eventually killed him. Failing to avoid the the Civil War and letting Lord Strafford, his loyal chief minister, go to the block, are scarcely peccadilloes. King Charles I is among the most baffling figures in English history, as the subtitle makes clear. But having read Leanda de Lisle’s book, it is hard to imagine how anyone could possibly want to have Roundhead ancestors. He himself, of course, was firmly for Parliament.

In order to prove herself, Ness cons her way into what’s supposed to be a simple job for the organization-only for it to blow up in her face. Ness will do anything to avoid becoming another victim, even if that means lying low among the Friends of the Restful Soul, a questionable organization that may or may not be a cult.īut being a member of maybe-cult has a price. Whether that means becoming a Nightmare that’s monstrous only in appearance, to transforming into a twisted, unrecognizable creature that terrorizes the city, no one is safe. Because in Newham, the city that never sleeps, dreaming means waking up as your worst fear. Gotham meets Strange the Dreamer in this thrilling young adult fantasy about a cowardly girl who finds herself at the center of a criminal syndicate conspiracy, in a city where crooked politicians and sinister cults reign and dreaming means waking up as your worst nightmare.Įver since her sister became a man-eating spider and slaughtered her way through town, nineteen-year-old Ness has been terrified-terrified of some other Nightmare murdering her, and terrified of ending up like her sister. |
