I love this country and the people in it, yet I see a moral downward spiral supported by liberalism dividing this nation. I wish to warn the reader about the deadly consequences of the societal cancer of immorality and spiritual neglect. Maintain morality or immorality will maintain you. My purpose is to challenge the reader towards genuine humility and soul searching, so a divided nation can recover. A favorite quote of mine from Martin Luther King Jr is, "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about the things that matter." I choose not to be a silent citizen for the things that matter in this day.
On one side of the forest lay the lands of psychological realism. On the other rest the realms of fantasy and fabulism. And in the long shadows of the trees themselves... Three sons send their father to Valhalla in his old jalopy. A rusted robot waits on the stone wall by a child's bus stop. An undertaker is one coin short at the river Styx. And in the bookending stories "Anything But Pure" and "Receding," a soldier seeks to unbury stories once lost to a winter of war. Fathers and the daughters they find, girls and the dogs they've loved, and a woman from Kansas with a cyclone in her heart-each discovers what happens when people go too far, love too hard, and take too much on their way Out of the Woods. But will they learn from what they learn? Will they grow. And will you? Out of the Woods is a short story collection by E. Christopher Clark. If you liked Carmen Maria Machado's Her Body and Other Parties, Lincoln Michel's Upright Beasts, or Luke Geddes' I Am a Magical Teenage Princess, you'll love this genre-bending blend of hypnotic fictions inspired by those three great works.

Inspired by a series of themed open-mic nights from his college days, a novelist drops his first collection of poems. In the 1990s, the late, great Bradford College put on a series of "Bad Poetry Nights" for their beleaguered student writers. These fast-paced evenings of literary shenanigans had one simple premise: compose the worst poem you could in five minutes or fewer, using 3-5 absurd words plucked from a hat by the hosts. The only trouble was this: give a talented writer a set of clear constraints, no matter how ridiculous, and they can't help but produce something compelling. It is in that spirit that novelist E. Christopher Clark (Bradford Class of 1999) approached his first collection of verse. With words and phrases drawn from kitchen magnets, playing cards, and his own tortured imagination, Clark has assembled thirty-five poems which would make the bad poets of old look up from their black coffees, peer out from under their ironically worn berets, and offer knowing nods of approval. Sometimes sardonic, often nostalgic, and occasionally absurd, these poems "are often more poignant than you might expect," writes Amazon reviewer Jessica Lucci. Buy Bad Poetry Night today to find out what happens when Herman Melville meets the Monkees and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir's invades the dreams of Donald J. Trump.

11 stories. A rogues gallery of broken men. How much of themselves will they give up to get what they want? How many loved ones will they leave behind? Matthew Silver is an alcoholic, a self-proclaimed nymphomaniac, and the unofficial keeper of his family's long and sordid history. Disowned by his homophobic father in the wake of a disastrous coming out, Matt was taken under the wing of his far more open-minded grandfather. But when Grampy dies and leaves Matt alone under the roof of their family's ancestral home on Cape Cod, Matt becomes obsessed with uncovering the truth of how the Silvers came to be so broken. Collecting stories of his family and the people who loved them, Matt weaves together a tapestry ornamented by heroes who range from the loathsome to the lustful, the lascivious to the mischievous.

Addison Haney finds herself in a psychiatric ward with amnesia after suffering an unknown traumatic event. Upon returning home from a woman's shelter under the care of Seph, her assigned social worker, Addison finds a matchbook sending her to Stoker's, a local Goth club where she crosses paths with Piers. Addie feels a powerful connection to Piers that she can't explain, and she's sure their relationship predates her amnesia, but no-one, neither Piers, nor Seph, nor Piers' lackey, Percival, is talking. Addison embarks on a quest to figure out who she was and her life begins to unravel. Addison suffers from a strange photosensitivity to the sun, Piers is never around during the day, Percival knows more than he's letting on, and Seph--with whom she also feels a deep and powerful connection--is not registered with social services. If that's not bad enough, people around her start to die horrible, bloody deaths. What, exactly, was her life like before the amnesia? Who are Piers, Seph, and Percival? What is the deep, dark secret they are hiding from her? More importantly, how are the misty cloud of fog following her, the string of murders, and Addison all connected?
ZuZu Een dochter in een pressure cookerZuZu is een energiek jong meisje van tweeëntwintig uit Myanmar (Birma). Op uitnodiging van het schrijversechtpaar Judy Lohman heeft ze drie maanden bij hen in Nederland gewoond. Van de ene op de andere dag had het kinderloze echtpaar een dochter in huis. In eerste instantie leek het geen goed idee om een wildvreemd meisje dat nauwelijks Engels spreekt voor zo'n lange periode uit te nodigen. Behalve dat, was ze ook nog afkomstig uit een complex ontwikkelingsland als Myanmar. Toch besloot het echtpaar de uitnodiging door te zetten en boekte een ticket voor ZuZu zodra deze een visum kreeg. Waarom het echtpaar ZuZu uitnodigde, hoe haar verblijf in Nederland is verlopen, en wat het heeft gebracht, dat leest u in deze beeldende novelle. Het boek schetst een aangrijpend beeld van de ervaringen van een meisje uit een volledig andere wereld dat tijdelijk in een westerse samenleving en in een vreemd gezin wordt geplant.

The 8 Best India Travel Guide Books - TRIPSAVVY - 12/09/19"This book takes a culturally minded look at women's safety in the country to inform women both before they leave and while they're in-country about how they can travel safely throughout the country. Written by J.D. Viharini, the book informs women on how to minimize the risk of problems while they're exploring the country by addressing and explaining cultural factors and mindsets. Chapters address how foreign women are shown in the media (promiscuously), standards of dress in India, the types of places that are and aren't safe for women to stay in, and what to do if you are sexually assaulted. Although, of course, the burden shouldn't be on women to avoid violence-it's a larger cultural issue-it's hard to change that in a single trip, and this guide does a great job of helping women navigate the country safely in the meantime. "- KRYSTIN ARNESON Updated 12/09/19 Krystin Arneson is a writer and editor based out of Berlin, Germany. She covers an array of hotels, products and destinations for TripSavvy.Lifeline to getting the most from solo, female travel"I met J.D. Viharini in Nepal recently and listened, first-hand, to accounts of her Indian travels. She is authentic, wise, experienced, expert in the advice she offers. Having travelled to 56 countries, read countless travel books and spoken to people all over the world, I was amazed at the tips I learned in reading this book. In addition, she speaks from a deeply embodied understanding of India, suggesting a nuanced approach to cultural competency, adopting an 'impression management' style of travel which offers an alternative approach to compromising one's own cultural values and identity. Fears are addressed and alleviated. Yet, this book is so simple, practical, easy and wide-ranging in application. Just excellent!"- Jo-Ann Zyla (reviewed on amazon.ca)
