A dark and controlling evil, far greater than anyone could possibly imagine, has the small town of Grandeur Falls in its grasps. With seventeen victims under his belt, Donavan Wright wants nothing more than for the lovely Claire Henley to be his next. Fourteen years after her mysterious and sudden disappearance, Claire returns to the only home she has ever known. Desperate for a new beginning, she quietly tries to rebuild her life. Things begin to take on some semblance of normalcy as she attends the local college and makes new friends. When her best friend, Maggie, gets engaged to Marcus, a professor from the school, Claire is happy for her.

But as he begins to unravel the complexities of her past, he begins to doubt his ability to protect her from the evil lurking, waiting to destroy her. Together can they succeed in stopping the monster before Claire becomes his next victim, or will Claire be The Final Possession? A. M. Hunter lives in central Texas with her husband and their six children. The Final Possession is her first novel.

My Very Last Possession and Other Stories
Author: Wan-so Pak
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317464230
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 262
Book Description
An anthology of ten short stories by one of Korea's foremost living writers. Pak Wanso is the author of five novels, including The Naked Tree, and of several best-selling volumes of short prose. Her works have sold millions of copies in Korea, where the public and critics alike have applauded Pak as a masterful realist. The literary world of Pak depicts the trials of the Korean War and the subsequent three decades of upheaval during which Korea was transformed from a military dictatorship and an agriculturally based society to an urban industrialized, albeit troubled, democracy. Pak offers a searching woman's perspective on radical changes in Korean family structures and social values, exposing the cruelty and hypocrisy of Korea's Confucian traditions, which have subjugated women for centuries. Her realistic prose also portrays the dehumanizing impacts of the capitalist market order that characterizes Korea today. With rich insight, Pak presents moral ambiguities inherent in Korea's society today and encourages her readers to question the injustices that prevail in the more impersonal and often alienated world emerging in a "globalized" Korea.

Power and Possession in the Russian Revolution
Author: Anne O'Donnell
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 069120554X
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 392
Book Description
"Most histories of economic life explore how markets are built. This book looks instead at how they have been dismantled. Soon after the Bolsheviks seized power in Russia, they began the process of transforming the economy, and indeed all of society, in accordance with communist ideology. Asserting their authority and creating a Soviet republic involved confiscating property and demolishing existing systems of exchanging goods. At a national level, industries like transport and banking were brought under state control. At the local level, everything from apartments to personal possessions were subject to seizure. In analyzing the confiscation of property and its redistribution, historian Anne O'Donnell focuses on the lived experience of revolution, drawing upon archival sources such as popular petitions, neighborhood meeting transcripts, audits of state agencies, and testimony in court cases. Telling the stories of both people who were dispossessed and the bureaucrats who inventoried and managed the property that now belonged to the state, O'Donnell reveals the making of an illiberal state, arguing that Soviet statecraft was built upon imperfect attempts to install new forms of valuation consistent with communist principles through chaotic property seizures. The work also offers a novel look at the everyday life of revolutionary Russia"--
