Book Description
Readers' Favorite and Eric Hoffer Award-Winning-Author “…one of the most complex and well-crafted dark figures that I’ve seen in horror, and that’s in a very long time as a fan of the genre…a psychological, fulfilling, and bone-shaking horror story with complexity and genuine terror.” —K.C. Finn, Award-winning author of Book of Shade Professor Ignatius Greyson is about to be terminated for fraud and sexual abuse, but he won’t go quietly. He’s determined to take revenge on everyone who ever dismissed his intellect, and the perfect weapon for doing so lies somewhere among the one hundred fifty Titanic dead buried in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Greyson has chased clues to the correct grave from Russia to Czechoslovakia, but after a series of appalling blunders, he is desperate for help. That’s when he comes upon Chris Chandler, infamous defender of the dead as he’s called by the press in Maine. With the promise of a college scholarship, Greyson induces an unwitting Chandler to help in his hunt. When, however, Chandler realizes the lengths to which Greyson will go to recover the lost weapon and unleash its terrifying power, their conflict is joined. With the help of a Holocaust survivor who carries a grim and shameful secret of his own, Chris must battle Greyson to the death or become the very monstrous thing he has dedicated his life to vanquishing. Praise for Ivan Blake Dead Silent Dead Silent is quite the gift, complete with a black bow, to horror fans. A ghoulish gem, Dead Silent juggles the Gothic New England ambiance, the parade of sleazy characters, and the occasional supernatural mauling with panache. —Kirkus Reviews Ivan Blake excels in crafting enjoyable, seat-of-your-pants, high-octane tension…readers who like fast-paced horror with a big dose of history and mystery will find Dead Silent heady, engrossing, and nearly impossible to put down. —Midwest Book Review

Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
THE EXPLOSIVE NEW YORK TIMES AND NATIONAL BESTSELLER Push beyond your physical limits to improve yourself by following bowhunter and ultramarathoner Cameron Hanes's lifelong philosophies and disciplines. “It’s all mental.” I say this all the time, and it’s true. If you believe you can do it, you can. We all have virtually limitless potential. Our bodies are capable of so much more than what we ask of them. Take off the mental handcuffs, get out there, and start on your way today. What is your passion? You can become better at it. Committing yourself to fitness only fuels your beliefs. You gotta believe to achieve. Cameron Hanes discovered his true passion for bowhunting when he was twenty. Inspired by the physical challenges of stalking elk in the Oregon wilderness—traversing mountainous terrain, braving erratic weather, and evading his quarry’s even more dangerous predators—he began an ever-evolving journey of self-improvement. To become the best bowhunter of wild elk, to the caliber he believed he could be, Cam realized he would need more than archery skills. He would need the stamina and strength that could only come from an athletic training regimen of long-distance running and heavy-weight lifting. And every day for more than thirty years, Cam has put in the work, building miles and muscles, pushing through pain with a single-minded focus on the only goal worth having—besting himself time and again. Part memoir, part motivational manifesto, Endure reveals how Cam—a self-professed average guy—put himself through the paces to live the life of an expert bowhunter, respected writer, and family man. With discipline, sacrifice, resilience, a hard work ethic, and a belief in his own capabilities, Cam not only accomplished his dreams but continues to surpass them. There is no secret to his success except relentless determination and loyal dedication to his own self-worth. If Cam can do it, we all can. Everyone has what it takes to endure adversity so we can rise above average, be the best we can be, and enjoy living life to the fullest.
