Book Description
Ed and Ghost are back in the saddle - okay, fine, they're in Ed's classic Pacer - in the third book of the Polterguys series. Things are going great ever since the Polterguys broke up the black magic coven terrorizing their town. Business is good, Ed's relationships with his wife and son are better than ever, and even his father-in-law doesn't seem to hate him as much. But when Harry, the well-dressed demon, reappears, Ed knows nothing good can come from it. True to form, Harry wants something - and the demon is determined Ed will find the mysterious package, even if he has to resort to blackmail to get it. Things get even more complicated when Ghost's bio-dad, the famous (and rich) actor Vinny Stephens decides it's time to finally meet his son, there's a new business in town stealing their customers, and Ed's father-in-law is harboring a huge secret that could change his relationship with Ghost forever. Things are always crazy, but it's never dull at Polterguys!

And Every Day Was Overcast
Author: Paul Kwiatkowski
Publisher: Catapult
ISBN: 1936787091
Category : Photography
Languages : en
Pages : 116
Book Description
This photography-driven fiction about coming of age in the creep show of south Florida's swamps and strip malls is "unlike any book I've ever read . . . A completely original and clearheaded voice" (Ira Glass, host of This American Life) Out of South Florida's lush and decaying suburban landscape bloom the delinquent magic and chaotic adolescence of And Every Day Was Overcast. Paul Kwiatkowski's arresting photographs amplify a novel of profound vision and vulnerability. Drugs, teenage cruelty, wonder, and the screen-flickering worlds of Predator and Married . . . With Children shape and warp the narrator's developing sense of self as he navigates adventures and misadventures, from an ill-fated LSD trip on an island of castaway rabbits to the devastating specter of HIV and AIDS. This alchemy of photography and fiction gracefully illuminates the travesties and triumphs of the narrator's quest to forge emotional connections and fulfill his brutal longings for love.

View our feature on Kat Richardson's Greywalker. Harper Blaine was your average small-time PI until she died-for two minutes. Now she's a Greywalker-walking the thin line between the living world and the paranormal realm. And she's discovering that her new abilities are landing her all sorts of "strange" cases. In the days leading up to Halloween, Harper's been hired by a university research group that is attempting to create an artificial poltergeist. The head researcher suspects someone is faking the phenomena, but Harper's investigation reveals something else entirely-they've succeeded. And when one of the group's members is killed in a brutal and inexplicable fashion, Harper must determine whether the killer is the ghost itself, or someone all too human.

Poltergeist
Author: Rob McLaughlin
Publisher: Liverpool University Press
ISBN: 1800857454
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 129
Book Description
'Created’ by Steven Spielberg yet officially directed by Tobe Hooper, Poltergeist (1982) can be best described as ‘family horror movie’ both in its target audience and in its narrative context, the story of an All-American suburban family, the Freelings, whose home suddenly becomes the site of a spectacular haunting, apparently summoned by their young daughter. The film is somewhat of an anachronism and this Devil's Advocate explores this in both the scope of production and narrative. The book discusses the duality of the text highlighting debates surrounding both Spielberg's somewhat saccharine portrayal of middle-class Americana and his more subversive cinematic endeavours. The duality of the text also will also be discussed in the context of the film's production – with both Spielberg and Hooper on set for much of the time, the result was a movie with the production values, effects and marketing of a high budget mainstream cinema blockbuster apparently directed by a subversive 'grindhouse' cinema auteur. Yet Poltergeist is neither nor both of those things, instead being a unique hybrid of genres and styles taking the best and worst from both aspects of family blockbuster and cult horror film, and as such can be seen as a text that is something unique – a classic modern take on the traditional haunted house story.

Strange Electromagnetic Dimensions
Author: Louis Proud
Publisher: Red Wheel/Weiser
ISBN: 160163448X
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 350
Book Description
The author of The Secret Influence of the Moon explores the many strange and unexplained phenomena surrounding electromagnetism. Today, the use of electricity is so pervasive that our environment is permeated by both natural and artificial sources of electromagnetic energy—while we ourselves are electromagnetic beings. As we continue to pollute and thereby alter our electromagnetic environment, we are also altering ourselves. In particular, these changes infringe on the psychic side of our being. In Strange Electromagnetic Dimensions, author Louis Proud demonstrates how all things are connected by a vast electromagnetic web—a natural phenomenon that appears to have supernatural consequences. He examines ESP, poltergeist disturbances, psychokinesis, electric people, UFOs, and other paranormal phenomena from an electromagnetic perspective. He also reveals how the artificial, alien energies we've been introducing into our environment shape the way we experience the paranormal. Strange Electromagnetic Dimensions explores such questions as: Do human beings possess a magnetic sixth sense similar to that of homing pigeons? Are artificial electromagnetic fields, such as those emitted by power lines, gradually destroying our health? Can being struck by lightning or suffering a severe electric shock result in the development of psychic abilities? What do scientists make of the fact that ball lightning can pass through walls, enter rooms by squeezing through keyholes, and display seemingly intelligent behavior?

The Extra-Dimensional Universe
Author: John R. Violette
Publisher: Hampton Roads Publishing
ISBN: 1612832733
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 271
Book Description
UFO sightings and alien abductions, mystical experiences and psychic phenomena, the near-death and the out-of-body experience--millions of ordinary people around the world report experiencing these events at some point in their lives. Yet, because there is no accepted scientific theory to explain the paranormal, the events--and the people who report them--are ridiculed and dismissed. The problem isn't the people, it's the science. While some cutting-edge researchers and quantum physicists are speculating more frequently that these experiences are caused by something beyond our world--some kind of higher-dimensional reality--any proposed extra-dimensional theories put forth thus far have lacked one key ingredient--expanded consciousness. Extra-Dimensional Universe presents an expanded framework of space, time, and consciousness. This, for the first time, explains how paranormal phenomena can exist. Violette's landscape-altering theory is fully compatible with all the findings of modern scientific research--and ancient wisdom traditions--and clearly explains the science of paranormal events such as UFOs and abductions, mystical and psychic phenomena, and the near-death experience. Violette even reveals that expanded consciousness is the key to understanding why some people experience psychic phenomena such as UFOs or ghosts when others don't. An advancement of the classic theories of R. M. Bucke and P. D. Ouspensky, Extra-Dimensional Universe is itself destined to become a classic of the science of spirituality.

Surfing through Hyperspace
Author: Clifford A. Pickover
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0199923817
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 266
Book Description
Do a little armchair time-travel, rub elbows with a four-dimensional intelligent life form, or stretch your mind to the furthest corner of an uncharted universe. With this astonishing guidebook, Surfing Through Hyperspace, you need not be a mathematician or an astrophysicist to explore the all-but-unfathomable concepts of hyperspace and higher-dimensional geometry. No subject in mathematics has intrigued both children and adults as much as the idea of a fourth dimension. Philosophers and parapsychologists have meditated on this mysterious space that no one can point to but may be all around us. Yet this extra dimension has a very real, practical value to mathematicians and physicists who use it every day in their calculations. In the tradition of Flatland, and with an infectious enthusiasm, Clifford Pickover tackles the problems inherent in our 3-D brains trying to visualize a 4-D world, muses on the religious implications of the existence of higher-dimensional consciousness, and urges all curious readers to venture into "the unexplored territory lying beyond the prison of the obvious." Pickover alternates sections that explain the science of hyperspace with sections that dramatize mind-expanding concepts through a fictional dialogue between two futuristic FBI agents who dabble in the fourth dimension as a matter of national security. This highly accessible and entertaining approach turns an intimidating subject into a scientific game open to all dreamers. Surfing Through Hyperspace concludes with a number of puzzles, computer experiments and formulas for further exploration, inviting readers to extend their minds across this inexhaustibly intriguing scientific terrain.
