The Curse of the Wendigo
Author: Rick Yancey
Publisher: S&S/Saga Press
ISBN: 1481425498
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 464
Book Description
Flesh-eating danger abounds in the chilling sequel to The Monstrumologist that is “as fast-paced, elegant, and yes, gruesome as its predecessor” (Publishers Weekly, starred review). While Dr. Warthrop is attempting to disprove that Homo vampiris, the vampire, could exist, his former fiancée asks him to save her husband, who has been captured by a Wendigo—a creature that starves even as it gorges itself on human flesh. Although Dr. Warthrop considers the Wendigo to be fictitious, he relents and performs the rescue—but is he right to doubt the Wendigo’s existence? Can the doctor and Will Henry hunt down the ultimate predator, who, like the legendary vampire, is neither living nor dead, and whose hunger for human flesh is never satisfied? This second book in The Monstrumologist series explores the line between myth and reality, love and hate, genius and madness.

Through time and legend it passed, until in whispers it reached modern day Greece... Facing an uncertain future, Joshua Dare has embarked on a modern rite of passage - a European getaway.

Under the light of a full moon, destiny comes for Josh in the form of a terrifying monster from myth. A harrowing escape leaves him wondering if it was all just a dream. A vicious bite left no scar and dried blood seems to be all that remains of his encounter. Back home in Australia, the secrets of that night are revealed in lunar light. When the full moon rises in the tropical city of Cairns, death follows. Legend becomes reality as Josh struggles to comprehend the changes he’s undergoing. A local policeman and his friend, Jesse, knows something is connecting Josh to a spate of bloody massacres in Cairns. And he's not the only one. Now, Josh has been thrust into a world of hidden organisations and shady government operatives. His affliction is different. To understand the power he carries, Josh must unravel the truth of an ancient Greek king cursed by a god.

A History of Canada in Ten Maps

Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 334
Book Description
Winner of the 2018 Louise de Kiriline Lawrence Award for Nonfiction Longlisted for the 2018 RBC Taylor Prize Shortlisted for the 2018 Edna Staebler Award for Creative Non-Fiction The sweeping, epic story of the mysterious land that came to be called “Canada” like it’s never been told before. Every map tells a story. And every map has a purpose--it invites us to go somewhere we've never been. It’s an account of what we know, but also a trace of what we long for. Ten Maps conjures the world as it appeared to those who were called upon to map it. What would the new world look like to wandering Vikings, who thought they had drifted into a land of mythical creatures, or Samuel de Champlain, who had no idea of the vastness of the landmass just beyond the treeline? Adam Shoalts, one of Canada’s foremost explorers, tells the stories behind these centuries old maps, and how they came to shape what became “Canada.” It’s a story that will surprise readers, and reveal the Canada we never knew was hidden. It brings to life the characters and the bloody disputes that forged our history, by showing us what the world looked like before it entered the history books. Combining storytelling, cartography, geography, archaeology and of course history, this book shows us Canada in a way we've never seen it before.

Columbus and Other Cannibals
Author: Jack D. Forbes
Publisher: Seven Stories Press
ISBN: 1583229825
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 259
Book Description
Celebrated American Indian thinker Jack D. Forbes’s Columbus and Other Cannibals was one of the founding texts of the anticivilization movement when it was first published in 1978. His history of terrorism, genocide, and ecocide told from a Native American point of view has inspired America’s most influential activists for decades. Frighteningly, his radical critique of the modern "civilized" lifestyle is more relevant now than ever before. Identifying the Western compulsion to consume the earth as a sickness, Forbes writes: "Brutality knows no boundaries. Greed knows no limits. Perversion knows no borders. . . . These characteristics all push towards an extreme, always moving forward once the initial infection sets in. . . . This is the disease of the consuming of other creatures’ lives and possessions. I call it cannibalism." This updated edition includes a new chapter by the author.
