Dorian Gray: Darker Shades

Dorian Gray: Darker Shades

Wild Hunt Press

Dorian Gray, that most intriguing creation of Victorian author Oscar Wilde, has served as a figure of horror, dark ambiguity, and personified cautionary tale for over 120 years now. Since the original serialized publication of THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY, we've seen a multitude of literary and cinematic interpretations and re-interpretations of the story of a young man who obtained immortality at a tremendously dark cost, with the merciless effects of aging and the consequences of his actions now borne by a portrait rather than suffered by the young man himself... most of the time. We've seen him appear in horror-oriented TV shows, as part of an ensemble in major motion pictures, headline periodic comic book mini-series, and featured as the star of a terrific audio drama series by Big Finish. What we haven't seen, however, is a prose horror anthology devoted entirely to his tales, each of which display the variety of roles he can play: From debauched villain and corruptor of the innocent, to anti-hero, to an unlikely savior -- including taking a pendulum swing from one to another within a single story - which amply demonstrate how metaphorically apropos his surname actually is. That all changed the moment this volume was published, however.In this anthology, several authors bring Gray to life, showing the variety of effects he has on various individuals, both innocent and otherwise, who cross his path. The time periods range from the Edwardian era right up to the present, yet throughout each the man with the infamous portrait remains true to the variety of shades he embodies. Moreover, the paths of those he crosses will themselves be quite familiar to genre readers (e.g., Dracula, a mad scientist named Pretorius, artist Richard Pickman of Lovecraft's nightmarish tale "Pickman's Model," a lady-loving she-vampire called Carmilla, Becky Sharp of VANITY FAIR). This volume brings you two novellas, a short play, two short stories, a timeline, and even a short personal bonus memoir, all of which give readers a glimpse into the many shades that Dorian Gray can paint on those whose lives he touches... and how their lives affect his own continuing saga.

The Darkest Days of the War

The Darkest Days of the War

During the late summer of 1862, Confederate forces attempted a three-pronged strategic advance into the North. The outcome of this offensive - the only coordinated Confederate attempt to carry the conflict to the enemy - was disastrous. The results at Antietam and in Kentucky are well known; the third offensive, the northern Mississippi campaign, led to the devastating and little-studied defeats at Iuka and Corinth, defeats that would open the way for Grant's attack on Vicksburg. Peter Cozzens details the tactical stories of Iuka and Corinth, analyzing troop movements down to the regimental level and providing compelling portraits of Generals Grant, Rosecrans, Van Dorn, and Price. He also draws out the larger, strategic implications of the battles, exploring their impact on the fate of the northern Mississippi campaign, and by extension, the fate of the Confederacy.
The Longest, Darkest Night!, Second Edition
Concept statement The Longest, Darkest Night is an illustrated children's story about the rarest of winter nights, a total eclipse of the moon during Winter Solstice. The wonders of nature, celestial cycles and the "humanness" of animals are part of this modern fable. Fear of the dark and the unknown, collaboration, generosity and the wisdom of the elders are underlying themes. The story is presented in first person, present tense, creating an inclusive and action-packed reading experience. Extensive back matter includes scientific notes, thumbnail backgrounds for each character, a book list and coloring pages.The delightful illustrations by famed Northwest artist Leslie W. LePere include recognizable representations of animals, trees and events on Earth and in the sky. The rich images and sing-along interactivity bring even more personal engagement as they become integrated into e-books, audiobooks and other smart technologies. Story synopsisThe story begins as the forest community gathers to celebrate Winter Solstice, which is interrupted when a lunar eclipse begins.At first, the moon appears to have a bite taken out, over time she goes completely dark. The trees loose their moon-shadows altogether. What is going to happen? The moon turns orange, then red. Everyone is scared. The animals wonder if the moon is on fire and will crash into the Earth. Clues to the story are nicely snuggled into the enchanting illustrations.Finally, exhausted by fear, the animals hear the wind-whispers of Grandfather Cedar reassure them everything will turnout okay and he explains the eclipse. As they share this magical moment, the animals begin singing the Song of Solstice, and together they look forward to brighter days ahead. In the end, they remind themselves, "Things usually go better when we listen to our elders."Back-matter bonusScientific Notes about the Moon, celestial cycles and eclipses plus interesting facts about nocturnal creatures add value to the book. Topics include, how the moon was formed, a list of nocturnal animals and many links to facilitate personal exploration. Back-matter for The Longest, Darkest Night has been peer-reviewed for accuracy by the Department of Astronomy, University of Washington.

Many of us have fallen into a dark place. Perhaps you are at a low point right now. Peter Gladwin understands. He meets many who have reached the point of despair and who want to hide: from others, from God, from themselves. Because of his own harsh experiences and struggles Peter finds it easy to empathize, and has discovered that the message of hope he offers strikes a powerful chord. Peter's ministry, particularly in prisons, has taken him into dark places. His own traumatic early experiences, and his subsequent and more recent struggles to walk the Christian path, have helped him to appreciate, and to explain, how God's grace can change your life. This book is full of vivid stories of transformation.

Theoretische Aspekte Des Bodenschutzes Unter Besonderer Beruecksichtigung Der Bodenschutzkonzeption Der Bundesregierung
Die Probleme des Bodenschutzes sind in den Vordergrund des politischen und theoretischen Interesses geruckt. Die Studie behandelt grundlagen- und fachtheoretische Fragen des Umweltschutzes, die uber die Bodenschutzprobleme im engeren Sinne hinausgehen. Sie analysiert das theoretisch/methodische Instrumentarium einiger fur den Bodenschutz zustandiger und daher besonders wesentlicher Fachdisziplinen unter dem Aspekt der Brauchbarkeit fur den politischen und administrativen Regelungs- und Handlungsbedarf. Die Relevanz der Untersuchung ergibt sich aus mehreren Aspekten, insbesondere etwa daraus, dass Recht und Politik von der Theorie die Benennung der die Bodenbelastungsproblematik kennzeichnenden Umweltstandards - Indikatoren - fur rechtliche und planerische Festlegungen oder gar aussagefahige Systemmodelle erwarten, diese jedoch nur dann formuliert werden konnen, wenn die wesentlichen Fragen von der Wissenschaft hinreichend erforscht sind."

I vår tid breder den psykiska ohälsan ut sig och i debatten om dess uppkomst, vidmakthållande och bot så intar den existentiella ståndpunkten en central roll; hur vi utformar våra liv och hur vi väljer att leva i vardagen har betydelse för vårt psykiska välbefinnande. Lever man inte väl, så mår man inte bra. Men vad är det att leva väl i vår tid? Hur formar man sitt eget öde? Vad ligger utanför vår direkta kontroll och är sådant som vi bara kan förhålla oss till? I denna antologi reflekterar nio erfarna forskare och terapeuter över ämnet Existens och psykisk hälsa. Här ryms frågor om vårt förhållande till våra kroppar, till andra människor, till svåra barndomsupplevelser, till andliga frågor, till kriser, sorg och död. Antologin rymmer också kritiska perspektiv på tidens ”diagnostiska kultur” och på de behandlingsalternativ som är förhärskande inom den psykiatriska vården. Några av bidragen visar också på existentiella alternativ till denna vård. ”Det är inte lätt att leva väl men det är, oftast, möjligt” – så kunde bokens motto formuleras.Existens och psykisk hälsa vänder sig till alla som intresserar sig för förhållandet mellan livsstil och psykisk hälsa – särskilt existentiell hälsa – såsom psykologer, socionomer och psykoterapeuter. Men det är också en bok för alla som vill nå en djupare förståelse av centrala livsfrågor.

After a five year sabbatical following the tragic death of his wife and fellow agent Alysha, Keon Rause returns to the distant colony world of Magenta to resume service with the Magentan Intelligence Service. With him he brings an artificial recreation of his wife's personality, a simulacrum built from every digital trace she left behind. She has been constructed with one purpose - to discover the truth behind her own death - but Keon's relationship with her has grown into something more, something frighteningly dependent, something that verges on love.Cashing in old favours, Keon uses his return to the Service to take on a series of cases that allow him and the artificial Alysha to piece together his wife's last days. His investigations lead him inexorably along the same paths Alysha followed five years earlier, to a sinister and deadly group with an unhealthy fascination for the unknowable alien Masters; but as the wider world of Magenta is threatened with an imminent crisis, Keon finds himself in a dilemma: do his duty and stand with his team to expose a villainous crime, or sacrifice them all for the truth about his wife?

Saint Peter was a crucial figure in early Christianity; as one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus Christ, he oversaw the formal establishment of the early church and became the first Bishop of Rome. Peter's formative years were spent as a fisherman. It was here that the purpose of his disciple status was unveiled: Peter was to become a 'fisher of men'; helping others believe in the Lord. These and other events are told in this biography, which investigates the ways in which Peter sought to enlighten and catch souls of men, that they be set on a righteous path to God and the Holy Spirit. Peter's humble beginnings soon transform through his pursuit of God; he accompanies Jesus as one of his twelve apostles, and is listed foremost among them in all sources. His spiritual guidance and devotion to the mission of Christ has great bearing on the foundation of the Christian church; Peter also witnessed the Resurrection of Jesus first-hand, and delivered some of the first sermons following this revelatory event.
