This book provides an in-depth look at our Journey in this life and how to better prepare ourselves for the unexpected events and emergencies we may experience along the way. It is dedicated to the countless dozens of dear friends and those professionals, who helped provide the content for this book. It defines the incredible role of our caregivers during a life-threatening emergency or long-term illness, and it gives us valuable insight to all those important papers we all will need at different times during our own Journey through life. Inspired and written from the Author's own personal journey, from growing up in the mountains of Kentucky, at an "Age of Innocence", later, being drafted into a war that no one wanted, and the day the nightmare began, when his doctors had given him only four hours to live. In these pages, you'll find God's Love and Miracles in one man's life. You'll also find a lot of humor, and you should find a refreshing, common-sense approach at safeguarding your own valuables, and protecting your loved ones. You'll learn about wills, living wills, power of attorney, as well as documenting your own life's journey. If you take care of all these things today, and if you decide you're not going to put them off any longer, you'll not only feel good about yourself, but you can finally get on with enjoying life. You'll feel good about yourself, knowing you have taken care of your family and loved ones. And, you'll also discover in your treasure hunt, those dearest possessions, that over time, you may have forgotten all about, that you still have, safely hidden away somewhere. Or, maybe, just maybe, you'll find a precious rare antique stuffed away in some forgotten corner. The important thing is, to realize that you must take care of these things and do it today

It is not hard to imagine that you are a thirteen-year-old (almost fourteen) and you don't quite feel like you belong in your own family, with a somewhat goofy father who does magic tricks and disappears for long periods of time and might be a secret agent, not to mention a mother who might be a white witch, and a sister is actually normal but doesn't look the slightest bit like you. Then it gets worse when your family suddenly moves into a massive pile of a house deep in the woods in the middle of nowhere, and that house seems to be alive. It is more than a house. It is also a centuries-old, sleeping dragon that settled into the shape of a house as it slept. But now it is waking up, and you find you have a strange affinity to it. You, and no one else, can slide through the walls, swim in the bloodstream of the Dragon and share its consciousness. You acquire a mysterious teacher and a robotic companion from the planet Zarconax, and if life isn't getting strange enough already, something goes wrong and Ghastly Horrors and other malevolent monstrosities attack, well before you, or your parents, or even the house itself is prepared to do anything about it. Imagine that an all-encompassing darkness threatens everyone you ever cared about. Darrell Schweitzer's fourth novel might be considered a book for younger readers, or for readers who remember what it was like to be young. It is perhaps most comparable to the spooky narratives of John Bellairs. It is the sort of story, filled with striking imagery and bizarre incidents, a mixture of whimsy and genuine fright. The author's other novels include The White Isle, The Shattered Goddess, and The Mask of the Sorcerer. He has published hundreds of short stories. His fiction has been nominated for the World Fantasy Award three times and once for the Shirley Jackson Award. He is an expert on H.P. Lovecraft and a former editor of the legendary Weird Tales magazine.

The dead come from the sea, at night. They merely arrive and are discovered in the morning on the wharves, lying in great heaps. It has been the immemorial custom for people to take them into their homes, to find places for them, to pattern their increasingly cluttered lives around the growing accumulation of corpses. No one knows why, although it is the irresistible decree of the Unseen Government that the order of things must be preserved, at all costs. Old and young must participate, and carry away the dead, on bicycles, in carts, on their backs if need be. It has always been so. It always will be so.This isn't Hell, or an Afterlife, just a place, a fogshrouded, traditionstifled town without a name, where the dead are accommodated at the expense of the living, where the established way of life has become a grotesque absurdity, and a few brave or foolish or deviant souls struggle to find some meaning, and perhaps unravel the mystery of the dead.On the knife-edge of horror and dark comedy, like an improbable collaboration between Franz Kafka and Clive Barker, this book is a brilliant departure, even for the author of The Mask of the Sorceror.

" This] novel has immense power in its climax," said The Encyclopedia of Fantasy about Darrell Schweitzer's 1982 novel, THE SHATTERED GODDESS. Now, at last, here's the companion volume to that work, a cycle of eleven stories set "in the time of the death of the Goddess." This is an Earth of the far future, when the planet has declined into chaos, and darkness looms at the end of human history. Here you'll meet...a dadar, a wizard's shadow attempting to become a man; two sorcerers grotesquely transformed by their fratricidal hatred; a musician who becomes the lord of death; a boy-priest consumed by divine visions; and a witch who loves a god, among many others. Here's strangeness, wonder, and terror in the tradition of Clark Ashton Smith's Xothique or Jack Vance's The Dying Earth. Schweitzer is a master fantasist, whom anthologist Mike Ashley once called "today's supreme stylist." Great fantasy reading, now collected into book form for the first time
