One hundred years ago, 40 cars lined up for the first Indianapolis 500. We are still waiting to find out who won. The Indy 500 was created to showcase the controversial new sport of automobile racing, which was sweeping the country. Daring young men were driving automobiles at the astonishing speed of 75 miles per hour, testing themselves and their vehicles. With no seat belts, hard helmets or roll bars, the dangers were enormous. When the Indianapolis Motor Speedway opened in 1909, seven people were killed, some of them spectators. Oil-slicked surfaces, clouds of smoke, exploding tires, and flying grit all made driving extremely hazardous, especially with the open-cockpit, windshield-less vehicles. Bookmakers offered bets not only on who might win but who might survive. But this book is about more than a race--it is the story of America at the dawn of the automobile age, a country in love with speed, danger, and spectacle.--From publisher description.

There are groundbreaking studies of contemporary paranormal romance, and of Hornblower's transition to space, while the final essay deals with the phenomenon and explosive growth of fanfiction, and with the increasingly empowered status of the reader in a digital world. There is an extensive bibliography of genre and critical work, with eight illustrations. John Lennard is Director of Studies at Hughes Hall, Cambridge and has also taught for the Universities of London, Notre Dame, and for the Open University, and was Professor of British & American Literature at the University of the West Indies-Mona, 2004-09.

When you open Strange 66, take a look beyond the all-American sheen to the seedy, creepy, and just plain weird stories behind America's Mother Road. Route 66 conjures images of an innocent golden age of car travel: shiny V8s powering down hot, two-lane blacktop, sucking 20-cent-a-gallon gasoline, and periodically depositing their occupants at mom-n-pop greasy spoons, neon-lit motels, and tourist traps. But America’s Mother Road wasn’t all about ruddy-cheeked, summer vacationers. Route 66 and the regions it traverses have a side more seldom seen, rich with weird tales (mimetic architecture, paranormal phenomena, and even cryptozoology) to the downright sordid and seedy (murder, mistreatment, and other assorted mayhem). In Strange 66, bestselling Route 66 authority Michael Witzel explores the flip side of Route 66 to offer details on infamous Route 66 locations that once served as hideouts for the James Gang (Meramec Caverns), Bonnie and Clyde (Baxter Springs, Kansas), and Al Capone (Cicero, Illinois). There are the stories of unspeakable crimes committed along 66, such as the Stafflebeck “murder bordello” in Galena, Kansas, and Arizona’s “Orphan Maker of Route 66.” Witzel also explores the people that passed through the region, including the Dust Bowl exodus and the Trail of Tears tribute in Jerome, Missouri. Then there are the lighter, though still strange stories, such as the Route 66 Great Transcontinental Footrace and the origins of various roadside colossi, like the Blue Whale of Catoosa and Giganticus Headicus in Walapai, Arizona. And speaking of heads, what about steak? Eat one as big as your head at the Big Texan in Amarillo—and it’s free! All of these stories culminate in a look at Route 66 unlike any other, completely illustrated with modern and archival photography and written by an acknowledged authority on the Mother Road.

Mrs. Tatterbaum is a provocative tale of mystery, mayhem and murder. An epic novel so skillfully stitched together that it leaves the mind questioning reality. The story of Desiree Blakeney - Tatterbaum is about a wealthy heiress, from Paris, France, who fell victim to circumstances beyond her control. One night after going to be by her ill lover's side, she falls prey to a nefarious plan that changes the entire course of her life. A diabolical scheme that leaves her cursed for all eternity. Now, she's forced to live life as a Lycan. A Were-wife to one of the most powerful Lycans in the world. There is a fork in the road where the mind chooses which direction it will take based on its own psychological comfort. Do I veer to the left, or to the right? This is a question we all have asked ourselves when reaching the crossroads of our life. Truth is, no matter the path taken, our perceptions become our reality. As we move about in our lives we venture into the unknown, grasping ahold of anything that looks familiar. This is the thing that makes life worth living, not knowing the exactness of a thing. When presented with that thing one perceives to be reality, the mind can, and most assuredly, will play mental tricks on you. Example: space, colors, shapes, etc., as to emphasize their corresponding features to the actual or ordinary visual experience. We believe to the depth of what our individual minds can obtain. denialism is a person's choice to deny reality as a way to avoid a psychologically uncomfortable truth. Truth isn't always measured in reality. Sometimes, it's found in the unbelievable.
