Melvin always liked Vicki because she was the only person who was nice to him as a teen. Now she's a doctor and headed back to her home town and decides (quite ridiculously, if you ask me) to visit Melvin and get it out of the way. ![]() Vicki was unfortunate enough to witness Melvin's first attempt at resurrection when they were teens at the same high school and has had horrible nightmares ever since. It's quite entertaining in a morbid, dark-humor kind of way. Somehow his most recent *recipe* works and then the fun begins as he's unprepared to deal with the consequences. He uses old tomes with recipes/spells to bring the dead back to life but never truly believes it'll work. Laymon takes twisted delight in creating Melvin, a junk food ingesting geek with an all consuming desire to bring back a woman from the dead. ![]() This is an amusingly vile take on the back from the grave plot. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The short story format offers an ideal showcase for Londons narrative genius, providing a focus for the great power and fluency of his language. The vitality and variety of Londons experiences are reflected in his stories, which range from earthy accounts of survival in the Arctic and the South Sea Islands to gripping tales of political upheaval and drama within the boxing ring. In the course of his brief but active life, he sought adventure - as a hobo, prospector, sailor, and a dozen other occupations - along with self-education from the works of Marx, Darwin, Nietzsche, and Jung.

Sean admits he has little to do with the millions of people for whom his father has become a secular saint, who speak the name “John Lennon” in the same breath as “Albert Schweitzer” or “Nelson Mandela” and create monuments to him of every kind, from an airport in Liverpool to a “tower of light” in Iceland and a graffiti wall in Prague. ![]() ![]() When someone from her Ugly life shows up with a message, Tally has a hard time listening.

I hate to hear or read stories about “preppers.” As far as I’m concerned they are all a little nutty. This book is hard to review because it was a good story but I really, really didn’t like it. ![]() He sees the survivalist side of her that she desperately tries to hide, but if she lets him get close enough to learn her secret, she might not survive the fallout. There, she meets police chief Truman Daly, whose uncle was the cave man’s latest victim. Sent by the FBI to assist local law enforcement, Mercy returns to Eagle’s Nest to face the family who shunned her while maintaining the facade of a law-abiding citizen. But the crime scene details are eerily familiar to an unsolved mystery from Mercy’s past. ![]() Now a predator known as the cave man is targeting the survivalists in her hometown, murdering them in their homes, stealing huge numbers of weapons, and creating federal suspicion of a possible domestic terrorism event.

The first deals with the method of multiple explanation in Theophrastus and Epicurus. The section on knowledge contains two papers. (There is a strong possibility, Verde argues, that many important treatises were read there, e.g., by Strato.) The work divides into three main sections. It also addresses the question of the availability of the Aristotelian corpus in the Hellenistic Peripatos. ![]() ![]() The overall aim is to reconstruct certain aspects of Peripatetic thinking and, more importantly, to consider these doctrines from a comparative perspective within the more general context of Hellenistic philosophy. This book is a collection of seven papers (including the appendix), two of which are new and five of which depend at least in part on items published previously. ![]() ![]() ![]() "synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title. Renowned author Richard Scrimger draws on his powerful ability to tell a story that can truly make you laugh until you cry.

They are bombarded by bicycles, hoodwinked by hobos, and bewitched by bikinis. ![]() They rescue a diabolical dog, confront a hydrophobic gang, and survive a waterfall. Into the Ravine is a contemporary Adventure of Huckleberry Finn, set in Scarborough (not quite Toronto, but it pretty much is for those of us who live outside of the GTA). On their way, the boys meet with a series of adventures that are funny at first glance but resonate deeply. After all, at thirteen they are old enough to take a day trip by themselves. When a tornado brings down a big maple tree, the boys make a raft of the branches and set off downstream. This familiar territory is by turns comforting and terrifying. ![]() Behind their backyards is a ravine through which flows a modest river. In the tar-melting heat of a suburban summer, everyboy Jules, athletic and handsome Chris, and oddball Corey (he laughs at gravel and anticipates zombie attacks) have lived side by side for most of their lives. ![]() ![]() ![]() London has been stressed and pushed to her limits with her work and her besties said that the ultimate way to blow off steam was to get a little action. Meanwhile, Drew’s been holding a candle for London all that time – and the only reason he ever pushed so hard to be as good as her is because he wanted her attention and respect. ![]() This book definitely did not give me toxic relationship vibes in the slightest. London has held unnecessary hatred in her heart towards Drew since she was in high school because he made her fight for “first place” in everything, which took her down a notch in her dad’s eyes. Something that I’ve learned over the years is that there’s a strong difference between toxic bully-love and a well-written enemies-to-lovers. ![]() |
