The House Beyond the Hill


Book Description

THE EVIL THAT FEEDS ON FEAR! The quiet suburb seems peaceful enough, until loner Donny Mann succumbs to the irresistible urge to Drive the web of the Southern California freeways, armed with a stolen .38-and the unspeakable need to fire it. He finds his victims soon enough-an old, black Cadillac alone on a dark stretch of highway. Three people witness the shooting. Three people see the Caddy crash. Three people know that no one left the wreck. But when the police arrive, they find the car empty of anything save blood.and the horror locked in its trunk. One after another, the citizens of Tamarind Valley fall prey to something, or some thing, that feeds on fear and grows exponentially in power with each victim. Donny's brother Richard gradually realizes that he stands at the center of an expanding circle of evil. If he and his friends do not prevail, the evil will! MICHAEL R. COLLINGS has written and edited over forty books of horror, literary criticism, and poetry, among others, many of them being reprinted by Borgo Press. He lives and works in Idaho.




Beyond the Hill


Book Description

Where do most of the former members of Congress go after leaving office? This book is a chronicle of where former members are living, what they are doing, how they happened to leave Congress--voluntarily or not--and what they see for themselves in the future. Rebecca Borders and C. C. Dockery examine a focus group consisting of 350 former members of the United States House of Representatives and United States Senate who left office from 1984 through 1993. They provide a look into the lives of the former members without regard to party or ideology. It is an attempt to answer some of the personal, historical, and ethical questions that arise when a member of Congress leaves office. They also present in-depth interviews with several former members including Dick Cheney, Lindy Boggs, Roy Dyson, and William Proximire. Also included is a directory of their current activities. Copublished with The Center for Public Integrity.




Just Beyond The Hill


Book Description

Just Beyond The Hill is a selection of poetry, and short prose from the poet’s private journals spanning over 25 years. It is an assortment of snap-shots, observations, emotions, memories and moods from both true experience and imagination. Though these poems span years, they are relevant and universal in their scope. As in a photograph album, they are seemingly random in order, where time is frozen in sharp focus, or where the subject is perceived, just out of camera shot. There is a sense of looking “just beyond the hill” to the next horizon.




The Question


Book Description

In the last years of the nineteenth century the Morlands' fortunes are changing for the better, as Henrietta and Jerome find a true home at Morland Place, and Teddy ploughs his profits into restoring it to its former glory. But the reverses and cruelties of the Boer War and the death of Queen Victoria shake the foundations of a confident nation. The accession of King Edward seems to mark the end of the old, familiar England. Old certainties are being questioned, everything is changing, and the young generation of Morlands faces a new world, full of wonders but full of dangers.

The Pennsylvania Reserves in the Civil War


Book Description

Until its soldiers mustered out of service in mid-1864, the Pennsylvania Reserve Division was one of only a few one-state divisions in the Union army. Known as the Pennsylvania Reserves, or simply the Reserves, the division saw action in most of the major battles of the Civil War, including Mechanicsville, New Market Crossroads, Second Bull Run, Fredericksburg, Gettysburg, the Wilderness, and Spotsylvania Court House. This history chronicles the division's service from its organization in May 1861 through June 1864, when most of its soldiers reached the end of their service commitment. The book includes short biographical sketches, most with photographs, of the Reserves leadership. Throughout, excerpts from letters, journals, diaries, and books from more than 150 members of the Reserves provide a personal perspective on the action and reveal the human side of battle.
