Zombies ... Kung Fu ... Masked Killers ... Giant Monsters ... Barbarians ... Cannibals ... And more Away from the glittering lights and busy streets of mainstream film, there are dark and forgotten places, where the hiss of static in a dark room begins a fever dream, where the bizarre rears its head out of the screen and smacks you between the eyes. Those cinematic moments that shake you awake and make you ask yourself if you really saw that. Those moments are a virus that worms itself into your mind, into your DNA, and the only way to escape it is to pass it on. Between these covers you will find 229 more of these viral bullets waiting to infect you. Here you'll find neon-dressed ninjas disguised as fish, zombies with flying heads, comedies about glue-sniffing serial killers, demonic Santas, policemen that are part-time wizards, Bigfoot rampages, singing cowboys, killer mannequins, hypnotized acid-spewing frogs that know kung fu, and countless more moments that will make you ask, "What the heck was THAT?"

Bloody Cross

Bloody Cross

David James had finally struggled to the rank of Colonel in the British Army when he was told what the price was going to be. A year in the Democratic Republic of Congo and overseeing the UN operation to provide the security for their first general elections in almost half a century. And looking after two parrots called Happy and Grumpy. What could go wrong?The Democratic Republic of Congo is a place of extremes - awash with gold, diamonds and rare metals, possessing sufficient power in its mighty river system to provide 10% of the world's power, the cockpit of the bloodiest war since 1945 and the ongoing object of the most expensive mission in United Nations history. And yet most Westerners would struggle to place it on a map.BLOODY CROSS is a fascinating insight from a constantly bemused, and occasionally sceptical observer, to a part of the world which barely registers on the Western consciousness - but is the subject of serious Chinese attention - and to an event which should have been one of the most important in the 2006 political calendar yet which passed with barely a flicker in the Western press.

Contemporary British Fiction and the Artistry of Space

Contemporary British Fiction and the Artistry of Space

David James

Continuum International Publishing Group Ltd.
2008
sidottu
This is a rigorous but accessible account of the interface between landscape and style and form in contemporary British fiction.This study examines the importance of space for the way contemporary novelists experiment with aesthetic form, offering an account of how British writers from the past three decades have engaged with landscape depiction as a catalyst for stylistic innovation. James considers the work of over fifteen major British novelists to offer a wide-ranging and accessible commentary on the relationship between landscape and narrative design, while showing that our approach to those spaces mapped by contemporary fiction cannot be divorced from the emotional aspects of reading itself.Moving between established and emerging novelists, the book reveals that spatial poetics allow us to chart distinctive and surprising affinities between practitioners, demonstrating how writers today compel us to pay close attention to technique when linking the depiction of physical places to new developments in novelistic craft.

Nail Yourself Into Bliss

Nail Yourself Into Bliss

David James

Kelsay Books
2019
nidottu
Nail Yourself into Bliss brings both raw news about what diminishes in time and fierce advocacy for sustaining faith in what we might make of our lives. David James probes the great unsettling arguments about how and why to live. His humor is multi-leveled and uncanny, poking at despair, as in "Stop Me if You've Heard This," in which three men walk into a bar and never come out. These evocative and impressive poems dignify the act of yearning while upending received wisdom: "Early to bed, early to rise up and stand-alone / in your house, doubting the god of your choice." -Lee Upton, author of Visitations: Stories and Bottle the Bottles the Bottles the Bottles: PoemsDavid James' latest book Nail Yourself into Bliss is a serious consideration of aging ameliorated by his boyish humor because "the punchline is always death." Through loss, mistaken identities, newly created ones, and despair, humor helps soften that ultimate punchline. As James writes, life is a "Sisyphus Festival." For people of a certain age, my age, this book speaks and resonates and whispers. -Elizabeth Kerlikowske, author of Art Speaks, an ekphrastic text with painter Mary HatchNail Yourself to Bliss by David James is both a beautiful and a heartbreaking new collection of poems by one of Michigan's finest poets. This book is rich in wisdom, full of identifiable life circumstances that connect all of us to each other and filled with imagery and ideas that will satisfy the human soul. James writes, "Wisdom is in no hurry to find you." But these poems will find you sooner than later, and they will help ease you on down the road back to yourself. -M. L. Liebler, author of I Want to Be Once, and editor of Heaven Was Detroit and R=E=S=P=E=C=T: Poems about Detroit Music

Doing My Best to Shine

David James

Shanti Arts LLC
2024
pokkari
Doing My Best to Shine is a reference to the author's overall philosophy-to give one hundred percent and make the most of every situation; to shine a little light on others and on the world, making a positive impact in one's own small way. The collection is separated into three parts-"A Common Theology," "You Can't Help but Wonder," and "That Stunned Look on My Face." Each speaks to some aspect of the author's life in general: being a spiritual person searching for meaning; striving to be imaginative and creative; and suffering wisely the chaos in the world. Here David James offers his thoughts on some very familiar topics, shining his light on all of us.

Out of the Depths

Out of the Depths

David James

Leschenault Press
2025
nidottu
A novel of refuge, resilience, and the unexpected families forged by war When the De Ruyter, a shot-up Dutch paddle-steamer, limps into Chatham in May 1940, its decks crowded with terrified Jewish refugees, the lives of three strangers are changed forever. Sam da Souza, fourteen years old and already marked by tragedy, carries the weight of a family he may never see again. Jannie Jansen, an aging marine engineer, has lost the closest friend he ever had in the chaos of Dunkirk. Now he clings to the promise he made to protect the refugee boy beside him. Miriam Cohen, elegant, grieving, and fiercely compassionate, believes she has left the heartbreak of London behind, only to find her purpose reignited by the fragile young life placed in her care. Safe for a moment in the wild beauty of Cornwall, the three try to rebuild themselves. Sam finds unexpected hope on a windswept farm by the sea; Jannie and Miriam discover a love neither expected; and together they attempt to stitch meaning back into a world unravelled by war. But duty calls them apart, and the shadows of the conflict are never far behind. As London braces for the Blitz and Sam begins to heal, each must face the truth: survival is not just about escaping danger, it is about holding on to love, courage, and the promise of return. Moving, intimate, and profoundly human, Out of the Depths is a sweeping wartime story of found family, second chances, and the small acts of kindness that save us.

Breaking Down the Walls of Segregation

Breaking Down the Walls of Segregation

David-James Gonzales

OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS INC
2025
sidottu
On March 2, 1945, five Mexican American families and their Jewish American lawyer filed a class-action lawsuit against four school districts in Orange County, California, to end the segregation of ethnic Mexican children. In a shocking decision, the court ruled in favor of plaintiffs, setting a legal and historical precedent in Mendez, et al. v. Westminster School District of Orange County that shook the foundations of Jim Crow America and led to the end of de jure school segregation across the nation. Breaking Down the Walls of Segregation tells the story of how ethnic Mexicans in a relatively unknown agricultural backwater built the unprecedented movement that led to this decision. Beginning in the 1880s, David-James Gonzales details the social and economic history of Orange County, explaining how citrus capitalists, seeking increased market share and profitability, established the walls of segregation to manage ethnic Mexican family labor. By the early 1930s, ethnic Mexicans were segregated into over fifty underserved colonias and barrios. Without training or support from national civil rights organizations, they mobilized against segregation and inequality beginning in the late 1920s. Ethnic Mexican grassroots organizations proliferated throughout the county, intent on engaging in civic affairs and ending anti-Mexican discrimination and segregation. This movement, comprised of immigrants, citizens, parents, children, emerging activists, and their non-Mexican allies, paved the way for the growth of LULAC and nationwide organizing. As an essential part of the "long civil rights movement," the ethnic Mexican struggle against segregation in Orange County illustrates how minoritized groups have historically pushed US social, economic, and political institutions to live up to the nation's founding ideals.

A story of Heathen Vikings enabling Cinaed (or Kenneth) MacAlpin take over Christian Scotland. Cattan, warrior priest and Chief of the Clan Chattan, converted the ambitious, Kenneth of Dal Riada and became his personal advisor. Follow James who became the caretaker Chief, forming alliances against the greater threat of raiding Vikings, by a circumnavigation of mainland Britain noting changes of the time and developing tactics to fight back. The Chattan Fleet's reputation was such, that neither Dane nor Norse wished to take them on, so they went after soft targets, sometimes as paid mercenaries to regain lost lands. Once Vikings settled in the northern isles, Man, and Dublin, they took possession of the east of Angleland that became England, and the west of Alba that became Scotland. Tribal identity became mixed as the kingdoms united but, the people still retained symbols of their ancient origins displayed on local banners, as they rallied to the nearest, strongest, High King's own standard.
