Unusual Latin America (and Antarctica): Traveling on the Edge

Unusual Latin America (and Antarctica): Traveling on the Edge

Alan M. Davis

Scrub Oak Press
2017
nidottu
This book is a collection of essays, each one a true story. Each describes the exciting experiences we've had as we travel, experience, and learn. Although I've visited every country on the continental Western Hemisphere, I've selected only the most interesting stories for this compendium. The stories describe our adventures to Antigua & Barbuda, Argentina, Belize, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Cuba, Dominica, Ecuador, Guyana, Honduras, Suriname, Uruguay, and Antarctica. I hope you enjoy hearing our stories as much as we enjoyed living them and enjoy talking about them. I have an insatiable thirst for unusual travel. Let me explain what I mean by unusual travel. You are not likely to find me in a Parisian caf drinking coffee and eating baguettes with melted brie (although I have done so). I don't enjoy such a comfortable trip. On the other hand, you are also not likely to find me ice climbing on glaciers in Greenland (I would love to visit Greenland, but certainly not to ice climb). I don't enjoy such a dangerous trip; nor do I have the physical stamina. I do enjoy travel that resides somewhere between these two extremes: like traveling on a 3-passenger klotok on the rivers of Kalimantan, sleeping on the deck; like exploring Antarctica on a 50-person research vessel; like spending a month living with little electricity in Jos, Nigeria; like renting a car and spending a few weeks driving around Southern Africa; or like spending a night with former headhunters. Those of you who love taking cruises on 3,000+ passenger liners will likely find my kind of travel too dangerous; after all, it is possible to get very sick, or even die, doing the things I do, but for my wife and me the rewards of meeting new people, learning new cultures, eating new cuisines, seeing animals that few westerners ever see far outweigh the perils. Those of you who love to rock climb the Pyrenees, explore underground rivers within caves, bungee jump from helicopters, skydive, or climb K2, will likely find our kind of travel downright mundane.

Of Thimble and Threat

Of Thimble and Threat

Alan M Clark

IFD Publishing
2017
pokkari
In Victorian London, the greatest city of the richest country in the world, the industrial revolution has created a world of decadence and prosperity, but also one of unimaginable squalor and suffering. Human degradation, filth, rats, parasites, danger, sorrow, and death are ever-present in its streets. Catherine Eddowes is found murdered gruesomely in the city's East End. The possessions, including clothes--over fifty personal items--carried on her person are listed in the police reports of the crime. Wearing several layers of clothing and having stayed the two night prior to the one of her death in the workhouse casual ward (homeless shelter), the possessions may have been everything she owned in the world. In OF THIMBLE AND THREAT, Alan M. Clark tells the heartbreaking story of Catherine Eddowes, the fourth victim of Jack the Ripper, explaining the origin and acquisition of the items found with her at the time of her death, chronicling her life from childhood to adulthood, motherhood, her descent into alcoholism, and finally her death. OF THIMBLE AND THREAT is a story of the intense love between a mother and a child, a story of poverty and loss, fierce independence, and unconquerable will. It is the devastating portrayal of a self-perpetuated descent into Hell, a lucid view into the darkest parts of the human heart.

A Parliament of Crows

A Parliament of Crows

Alan M Clark

IFD Publishing
2017
pokkari
Inspired by the true crimes of the Wardlaw sisters. In A Parliament of Crows, the three Mortlow sisters are prominent American educators of the nineteenth century, considered authorities in teaching social graces to young women. They also pursue a career of fraud and murder. Their loyalty to one another and their need to keep their secrets is a bond that tightens with each crime, forcing them closer together and isolating them from the outside world. Their ever tightening triangle suffers from madness, religious zealotry, and a sense of duty warped by trauma they experienced as teenagers in Georgia during Sherman's March to the Sea. As their crimes come back to haunt them and a long history of resentments toward each other boils to the surface, their bond of loyalty begins to fray. Will duty to family hold or will they turn on each other like ravening crows?

pokkari
The story in The Door that Faced West is a little known piece of history that takes place in the American South as the 18th century ends and the 19th century begins. At the time, the western frontier still occupied territory east of the Mississippi. The novel is based on actual events involving the early American serial killers, the Harpe brothers, Wiley and Micajah. The Harpes are often considered America's first serial killers. They were land pirates who prowled the wilderness of Tennessee and Kentucky looking for victims.Although a character-driven fiction novel, it is also something of a true crime book. The story is an Early Western, distinguish from traditional westerns by the technology of the period. At the time, firearms were single shot weapons and hand-to-hand combat was much more common.The story unfolding from the point of view of the brothers' third wife, Sadie Rice, the 16 year old daughter of a minister, it provides some education about the limitations of women's rights of the time. As Sadie endures life on the trail in their company, she benefits from the Harpes' ability to defend their own with extreme violence. The deeper into the savage wilderness they travel, the more dependent upon the brothers she becomes. Too late, she realizes that their capacity for violence is, in truth, a ravenous hunger.

The Prostitute's Price

2018

A novel that beats back our assumptions about the time of Jack the Ripper. Not the grim story of an unfortunate drunken prostitute killed before her time, but one of a young woman alive with all the emotional complexity of women today. Running from a man wanting her to pay for her crimes against his brother, Mary Jane Kelly must recover a valuable hidden necklace and sell it to gain the funds to leave London and start over elsewhere. Driven by powerful, if at times conflicting emotion, she runs the dystopian labyrinth of the East End, and tries to sneak past the deadly menace that bars her exit.
