In a frozen tundra, a sin-eater fights for redemption and absolution as monstrous creatures ravage a community already struggling to survive.Sebastian Pana is a sin-eater, a shaman-like figure who can absolve the dead of their transgressions before they move on to the afterlife. But when a tear in the fabric of reality allows hideous beasts to invade the small arctic town he calls home, Sebastian must wage battle with them the only way he knows how: by unleashing the power of sin itself.Thus, the stage is set for an epic confrontation between the forces of good and evil, in which a mother monster strives to save the dying land around her-and a young Inuit boy, haunted by Sebastian's fate, risks everything to forge a new way forward for the desperate vestiges of humanity. As an obliterating darkness descends from the frozen mountains, this profoundly redemptive tale will build toward a climactic showdown in which nature and the supernatural collide with the eternal quest for healing and forgiveness.From an author who has been compared to Lovecraft, Bradbury, and Gaiman, Incarnate is a masterpiece of contemporary arctic horror-a dark, unsettling story told in a maximalist voice inflected with powerful notes of hope and grace."Thomas excels at summoning nightmarish images, as vivid as they are stark. . . . The most terrifying aspects of the novel, however, stem from its strange, shifting structure, which never quite allows the reader to find firm footing. . . . Fans of Brian Evenson will enjoy-and perhaps cower from-this cold-weather tale." -Kirkus Reviews"A stunningly creepy supernatural thriller set in the remote Arctic. It captures the terror of being alone in the frozen darkness with something dreadful. Weird and thrilling " -Jonathan Maberry, New York-Times bestselling author of the Sleepers War and NecroTek series "A harrowing look into the world of a sin-eater stationed at the end of the world. Richard Thomas manages to harness the northern lights into a brutal story about weathering the frozen tundra as well as the suffering of all mankind. Graceful, cosmic, and heartbreaking, Incarnate is a universe unto itself." -Gus Moreno, author of This Thing Between Us "In Incarnate, Richard Thomas shows himself to be a master alchemist who can spin elements of a survival tale, healing magick, cosmic horror, and true environmental dread into pure dark gold that's enchanting, truly weird, and utterly frightening." -Lisa Morton, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of The Castle of Los Angeles "Thomas's characters peer behind the thin veil between worlds, mapping a landscape that's sinister but not hopeless. Incarnate will stick with you long after the last page." -A. G. Slatter, award-winning author of The Briar Book of the Dead "Burns like cold ice. Forged from classic weird fiction, the feeling of isolation never lets up, even as the stakes rise to impossible heights. Incarnate offers a glimpse into a dark portal where nefarious things are all too anxious to cross over. This is Thomas at his best: dark, unforgiving, and painfully redemptive." -John Palisano, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Requiem and Placerita "Thomas creates a detailed, transcendental world full of both beauty and brutality. There are too many monsters to count, and yet we still dare to hope. My favorite work of his to date." -Mercedes M. Yardley, Bram Stoker Award-winning author "Reading Incarnate is a visceral experience-weird cosmic horror at its purest. Brutal and unforgiving, Thomas's novel is epic in its scope and ideas. The creature horror is mind-blowing-endlessly unique and fascinating in its variety. In his skilled hands, even the wildest beast is human and capable of redemption. I truly don't know how else to describe
Richard Curtin has directed the University of Michigan's consumer sentiment surveys for more than four decades. His analyses of recent trends in consumer expectations are regularly covered in the worldwide press. In this book, Curtin presents a new theory of expectations. Whereas conventional theories presume that consumers play a passive role in the macro economy, simply reacting to current trends in incomes, prices, and interest rates, Curtin proposes a new empirically consistent theory. He argues that expectations are formed by an automatic process that utilizes conscious and nonconscious processes, passion and reason, information from public and private sources, and social networks. Consumers ultimately reach a decision that serves both the micro decision needs of individuals and reflects the common influence of the macro environment. Drawing on empirical observations, Curtin not only demonstrates the importance of consumer sentiment, but also how it can foreshadow the cyclical turning points in the economy.
