You're in for an entirely unpredictable ride, the tale spinning ludicrously out of control as the hero uncovers layer after grotesque layer of a vast macabre conspiracy. THE MINDBLOWING CULT CLASSIC RETURNS! "A nightmarish yet hilarious journey that begins in the ugly world of toxic mortgages and progresses to the slightly uglier world of brain-eating monsters lurking in dark alleys. Skullcrack City is original, utterly insane, and a shitload of fun." -David Wong, author of John Dies at the End You weren't.

In the shadow of the 1893 World’s Fair in Chicago, a killer is stalking the streets, targeting young Jewish immigrants. Thank you to the publisher, Inkyard Press, and NetGalley for providing me with an eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. Now, with only days to spare until the dybbuk takes over Alter’s body completely, the two boys must race to track down the killer-before the killer claims them next. A boy who means more to Alter than anyone knows. While the rest of the city is busy celebrating the World’s Fair, Alter is now living a nightmare: possessed by Yakov’s dybbuk, he is plunged into a world of corruption and deceit, and thrown back into the arms of a dangerous boy from his past.

Published: October 5th, 2021 (Inkyard Press) The examining mind may view the simple story of Pooh and Piglet hunting for a “woozle” as little more than the escapades of two not very bright souls, but if you peel back the simple language and the childishness of the character, there is true significance to be found there. The bees of profundity that buzz around the characters which inhabit Milne’s introductory volume sting with the rationality of intellectual engagement. Many other scholarly and academic papers have taken Pooh and his friends as subjects and as far internet speculation goes, well, you can never tell with bees. Milne’s characters inspired a profound examination of the philosophical underpinnings of his works set in the Hundred Acre Wood titled The Tao of Pooh.

I love it when I come across a good book. There is an intensity in earlier work that I don’t think I could reproduce. Now they tend to be bigger and slightly looser. The paintings then were much smaller and tighter. I think the way I paint is quite different now. GB: The sensation I often get when looking at earlier work is that I don’t think that I could paint like that now. MG: When looking at an early work like Decline and Fall, how has it changed over time for you? Does it seem different from your work now? What emerges is a representation of the artist’s personality in keeping with the spirit of the exhibition. The artist generally prefers written interviews but graciously agreed to this informal conversation in which he discusses his work ‘Decline and Fall’. Its always one of the most exciting things when looking at the painting to try and animate the way the artist made them and the way their hand was moving whilst doing it.”Ī conversation between Glenn Brown and Mardee Goff, one of the curators of ‘Portrait of the Artist As…’ recorded at Brown’s studio in East London on 7 June 2012. 1995 “I will spend ages in front of an original and study they way the brush marks are made.
