FUNNY, SAD, ENLIGHTENING--- THOUGHT PROVOKING INSIGHTS INTO AMERICAN HISTORY AND LIFE IN THE TWENTY FIRST CENTURY-- NOT JUST ANOTHER JADED AMERICAN PYSCHE--- TAKE THE JOURNEY WITH TRAVIS N. TARKINGTON, A ROGUE DRONE KNOWN AS NINER, AND A CLONE NAMED ZEL AS THEY SEARCH FOR ANSWERS TO HOW HU-MANIMALS BECAME THE LEAST VALUED OF ALL SPECIES AND HOW THE ETERNALS CAME TO POWER. HE WEAVES A HUMOROUS YET DARK PICTURE OF THE FUTURE. "It was when I first read CS Lewis that I began to see that astute and watchful men were aware of this progressive movement during the ages in which they lived. Anyway, what Lewis was saying about his world in the 1940's was that socialism already waxed a sway over people. He talks about society being ignorant (willingly so) due to their attachment to the existing humanistic philosophies of his generation. Lewis wasn't the only writer to see this blackness creeping into the political agenda of men. Hundreds of writers throughout history knew of this sinister thread being woven into the mural of mankind. I had only found one small thread. I wanted to know how we got to the point where our own government killed us and called us Hu-manimals instead of people. It is so outrageous, so insane that I couldn't believe it myself, and how did you convince others of a plot even you could not believe? I needed proof. Of course the SG had sent these flying bird drones to kill off us remaining stragglers. The cowards had not come themselves. It was a numbing realization to know you were targeted for extinction. It struck me that reality had flipped flopped. It was hunting season in reverse. Blimy! This time the drone birds had the guns, and they were shooting first!" A JOURNEY OF DISCOVERY, TRUTH, AND ONE THAT BY THE END BECOMES AS CLEAR AS A YELLOW BRICK ROAD-

The darkly handsome man gazes deeply into her eyes. She finds him irresistible, wants to experience the passion of the moment. He grins--the movie audience can see his lengthened lateral incisors--and bends to her neck. The eroticism is horrible, and compelling. Audiences are drawn to horror cinema much as the surrendering victim. Afraid to watch, but more afraid something will be missed. Since the horror film is the most primal of all movie genres, seldom censored, these films tell us what we are about. From the silent era to the present day, Dark Romance explores horror cinema's preoccupation with sexuality: vampires, beauty and the beast, victimization of women, "slasher" films, and more. Separate chapters focus upon individuals, like Alfred Hitchcock and Barbara Steele. Entertaining, and thought-provoking on the sexual fears and phobias of our society.

Steephen Greenblatt's comment on Amerrycountry, subtitled Autorabiography is: ''I am genuinely impressed by the inexhaustible and daring verbal inventiveness of Amerrycountry.'' The Taylor and Francis review written by Dr. Bahram Meghdadi, the most prestigious professor and critic of English literature in Middle East, published in the volume 47, Issue 6, 2014 Journal of Iranian Studies, Oxford University, has claimed Amerrycountry a 21st century literary ''masterpiece'' which surpasses even Finnegans Wake, and which deserves to reach a ''universale''. Dr. Meghdadi who got his Ph. D. from Columbia University believes, the art of writing novels has been revived once again by Amerrycountry, a ''phenomenon'' in world literature. Dr. Homa Katouzian the distinguished professor and editor of Iranian Studies Journal of Oxford University, after finishing to read Amerrycountry called it an ''original'' story. Ariel Dorfman's assistant at Duke University, Suzan Senerchia, has commented on Amerrycountry as: ''I did read Amerrycountry and found it interesting in your use of words. Your combination and use of words, as well as your choice of which words to combine, were very clever and imaginative.'' Professor Mark Burnett from Queen's U. Belfast commented on Amerrycountry as: ''cleverly'' written. Beheshti U. distinguished Professor and critic of English literature, Dr. Amir Ali Nojumian who received his Ph. D. from Leicester U. has commented on Amerrycountry as follows: ''I eventually finished reading your work and enjoyed it a lot. I think your command of English is excellent and your portmanteaus, or let's say portmantorabis, are quite thought-provoking and pentertaining. Many of the words you made, for example ''sexpert'', "textpress" and ''universale'' were very innovative. This reminds me of this quotation in your work: "It seems that languages langucage us! Or rather, we let ourselves be langucaged. Languages, after many years, limit and numb us, although at the start they empower us." Your metafictional and intertextual attitude to writing is quite novel and postmodern (while reading your work, I was reminded of Tristram Shandy.)

One of the most influential thinkers of his era, H.G. Wells is primarily known for his science fiction writings that looked ahead in time to teach and warn. These novels and stories inspired many filmmakers to bring his visions (if often greatly altered or misfocused) to life on screen. He himself wrote screenplays and closely supervised the production of some of his work. This book is a study of every theatrically released film from 1909 to 1997 that is based, even loosely, on the writings of H.G. Wells, including The Time Machine, The Island of Dr. Moreau, The Invisible Man, The War of the Worlds, The First Men in the Moon, The Food of the Gods and The Empire of the Ants, to name a few. For each film, the author discusses the circumstances surrounding its creation, its plot, how it compares with the literary work, its production and marketing, and its strengths and weaknesses based on aesthetic qualities.

He was born Bela Ferenc Dezso Blasko on October 20, 1882, in Hungary. He joined Budapest's National Theater in 1913 and later appeared in several Hungarian films under the pseudonym Arisztid Olt. After World War I, he helped the Communist regime nationalize Hungary's film industry, but barely escaped arrest when the government was deposed, fleeing to the United States in 1920. As he became a star in American horror films in the 1930s and 1940s, publicists and fan magazines crafted outlandish stories to create a new history for Lugosi. The cinema's Dracula was transformed into one of Hollywood's most mysterious actors. This exhaustive account of Lugosi's work in film, radio, theater, vaudeville and television provides an extensive biographical look at the actor. The enormous merchandising industry built around him is also examined.
