Synopsis Lovecraft by : Haefele John D.

"Haefele's interpretations are sure to spark debate among scholars of this influential author. Lovecraftians won't want to miss this one." --Publishers Weekly An In-Depth Look Behind the Supernatural Horror Writings of the Great H. P. Lovecraft! Story by Story. Concept by Eldritch Concept. Howard Phillips Lovecraft (1890-1937) emerged from the American pulp magazines of the 1920s and 30s as the major writer of supernatural horror of the twentieth century. Today, his ideas permeate the culture -- literature, film, graphic novels, and gaming all bear the signs of his Arkham cycle. Lovecraft's "The Call of Cthulhu" -- taken alone -- one of the most influential short stories of all time. Tracing the development of HPL's fictional universe, John D. Haefele ranges from childhood readings of the Arabian Nights to the seismic encounter with the works of Edgar Allan Poe. Major discoveries such as Lord Dunsany, the Welsh mystic Arthur Machen and Robert W. Chambers with his noxious collection The King in Yellow hone Lovecraft's sensibilities. His dreams and nightmares over his lifetime underlie the great tales, so much so that HPL wrote, "I wonder, though, if I have a right to claim authorship of things I dream?" In pulps such as Weird Tales and Astounding Stories he spun his dark narratives alongside Clark Ashton Smith's cycles of Zothique and Hyperborea -- Robert E. Howard and the creation of the barbaric figure of Conan of Cimmeria -- and a young acolyte of Lovecraft named Robert Bloch, today famed for the novel Psycho. Haefele's revolutionary ways of looking at HPL's work defy generations of critical orthodoxy. New ideas -- but when you check the stories, suddenly evident and logical. His 2013 essay "Shadow out of Hodgson" broke the news that William Hope Hodgson inspired many aspects of HPL's major story "The Shadow out of Time" The late Hodgson expert Sam Gafford conceded, "I am inclined to agree that Lovecraft revised some of his concepts for the story after reading Hodgson. . . a masterful case. . . ." After a lifetime of studying and appreciating Lovecraft, John D. Haefele finally sits down and does an unprecedented excavation of the texts, revealing years of startling discoveries, smashing the tame boilerplate criticism of recent decades. You won't find a more masterful handling of the case of Howard Phillips Lovecraft.

Synopsis Tayos Gold by : Stan Hall

In 1976, Scottish engineer Stan Hall organised a landmark expedition to the caves of the Tayos Indians in Ecuador, involving a dozen institutions, joint Special Forces, and astronaut professor Neil Armstrong as Honorary President and participant. Hall was driven by curiosity about Erich von Daniken's report of a Metal Library allegedly found in the caves by investigator Juan Moricz in the mid-1960s (published in von Daniken's 1972 blockbuster Gold of the Gods). This idea was considered unorthodox in the absence of any ancient written script in South America. In Hall's odyssey into the heart of global enigmas he researches: the origins of mankind; Atlantis; Ptolemy's lost city of Cattigara; and, the sudden rise and fall of wonder civilisations. This journey ended with his identification of Atlantis and Cattigara, and the entrance to the Metal Library along the Pastaza River in Ecuador. Imagination, action and danger combine explosively in the story of this spectacular British-Ecuadorian expedition to the Tayos Caves of Ecuador.

Synopsis Comics through Time [4 volumes] by : M. Keith Booker

Focusing especially on American comic books and graphic novels from the 1930s to the present, this massive four-volume work provides a colorful yet authoritative source on the entire history of the comics medium. Comics and graphic novels have recently become big business, serving as the inspiration for blockbuster Hollywood movies such as the Iron Man series of films and the hit television drama The Walking Dead. But comics have been popular throughout the 20th century despite the significant effects of the restrictions of the Comics Code in place from the 1950s through 1970s, which prohibited the depiction of zombies and use of the word "horror," among many other rules. Comics through Time: A History of Icons, Idols, and Ideas provides students and general readers a one-stop resource for researching topics, genres, works, and artists of comic books, comic strips, and graphic novels. The comprehensive and broad coverage of this set is organized chronologically by volume. Volume 1 covers 1960 and earlier; Volume 2 covers 1960–1980; Volume 3 covers 1980–1995; and Volume 4 covers 1995 to the present. The chronological divisions give readers a sense of the evolution of comics within the larger contexts of American culture and history. The alphabetically arranged entries in each volume address topics such as comics publishing, characters, imprints, genres, themes, titles, artists, writers, and more. While special attention is paid to American comics, the entries also include coverage of British, Japanese, and European comics that have influenced illustrated storytelling of the United States or are of special interest to American readers.
