![]() ![]() ![]() A sinister, indeterminate corporation digging a giant hole in the sand uncovers an ancient triangular door a thousand feet down, beyond which seems to be a warren of secret chambers. ![]() The story opens promisingly with a weird prologue set in the Mojave Desert. Or you might find yourself wondering if it’s simply high-class schlock: well fashioned but ultimately a black and endless hole. Depending on your taste in such matters, you might be thrilled and/or horrified as the novel builds to its unbelievably gory climax. The author of The Night Will Find Us and dozens of short stories drawn from the same vein, Lyons knows how to trepan the genres and extract something weird and messy. Whatever hijinks your sibling might pull, they will pale in comparison to the terrifying journey of Jonah and Nell Talbot from the streets of San Francisco to the cul-de-sacs of Albuquerque. Ever take a road trip with your sibling only to find they’re not the person you thought they were? Your sister turns out to be kind of a monster with a drinking problem who always seems to get the two of you in trouble? If so, you’ll be relieved to read A Black and Endless Sky, the new horror thriller by Matthew Lyons. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Voracious reader that I was, I was never able to get past that cover with the two uncertain figures against a blood red sky, keeping a wary eye on the wolves prowling beneath them. Sometimes unnerved-I can admit this-I’d shift the rack so that the more benevolent Beezus could watch over me instead. Occasionally it would disappear for a few weeks, only to reappear and resume its vigil. But as child who spent her after-school hours at the local library, I became more than a little familiar with the cover, which always seemed to be glaring down at me from the paperback rack. It’s not a favorite-I never read it until I was an adult. Joan Aiken’s The Wolves of Willoughby Chase is a book which has stayed with me since my childhood. ![]() 5/22/2023 0 Comments Leena krohn umbra![]() ![]() Hannu Björkbacka (Sodankylä 2014 Festival Catalogue): "As a science fiction about good and evil, Maria Ruotsala’s Apeiron is an original and visually impressive version of Leena Krohn’s ”impossible to film” novel Umbra – silmäys paradoksien arkistoon."

Writing for The New Yorker in 2005, Adam Kirsch claims that Bukowski’s liminal status and seedy persona were part of his appeal: “He is one of those writers whom each new reader discovers with a transgressive thrill.” Describing his verse as “pulp poetry,” Kirsch also notes the author’s penchant for autobiography. And yet his books, including his poetry, have sold millions of copies in more than a dozen languages. ![]() HALF A CENTURY AFTER the publication of Post Office (1971), how should we understand Charles Bukowski’s literary achievement?

Now, this doesn’t mean that the book will have you become a cold-hearted individual with no intention of doing good. Glover can teach you how to stop overpleasing people, build a stronger character, and avoid having others take advantage of you. While kindness is a positive characteristic, seeking validation from others is a toxic trait that should be eliminated at all costs. When being good to people implies harming yourself, it becomes an issue. Well, that’s the way it should be! However, some men tend to overdeliver when it comes to being nice by inhibiting their personality to avoid conflict. For this reason, and for moral purposes, we are all trying to seem nice to everyone and do no harm, right? Everybody loves the first category and loathes the other. But you will also meet self-absorbed ones, which seek their best interests at heart. Throughout your life, chances are you’ll meet amazing people with pure intentions. Nice Guy explores ways to eliminate the “Nice Guy Syndrome”, which implies being a man that avoids conflicts at all costs and prefers to show only his nice side to the world, even when it affects him negatively by damaging his personality and preventing him from achieving his goals in life. ![]() |
