![]() ![]() When one of her new neighbors dies under odd circumstances the night Zoey arrives, she is thrust into the mystery of The Dellawisp, which involves missing pages from a legendary writer whose work might be hidden there. When Zoey Hennessey comes to claim her deceased mother’s apartment at The Dellawisp, she meets her quirky, enigmatic neighbors including a girl on the run, a grieving chef whose comfort food does not comfort him, two estranged middle-aged sisters, and three ghosts. It’s called The Dellawisp and it is named after the tiny turquoise birds who, alongside its human tenants, inhabit an air of magical secrecy. ![]() ![]() From the acclaimed author of Garden Spells comes an enchanting tale of lost souls, lonely strangers, secrets that shape us, and how the right flock can guide you home.ĭown a narrow alley in the small coastal town of Mallow Island, South Carolina, lies a stunning cobblestone building comprised of five apartments. ![]() ![]() For instance, Laake describes a series of Mormon bishops, or spiritual advisors, as stupid, rigid, insensitive and occasionally voyeuristic. There were reasons Mormon elders couldn't abide the book, which makes them - and Mormonism - seem silly and cruel and dangerous. Laake even became a hit on the talk show circuit, where, beyond fielding questions about masturbation, she tried to explain why her religion very nearly destroyed her.īut the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints did not react happily to "Secret Ceremonies." After its publication, church leaders excommunicated Laake for apostasy. Her book was one of the first to cash in on the ongoing memoir craze and was best known for Laake's mocking, detailed revelation of top-secret Mormon temple ceremonies and, oddly enough, for her lengthy account of years of obsessive-compulsive masturbation, which she blamed indirectly on Mormonism. ![]() She jumped atop a table and joyfully relayed her literary accomplishment to the other patrons. ![]() ![]() (It still sells well in predominantly Mormon towns like Gilbert, Ariz., or Park City, Utah.) When Laake first heard she'd made the bestseller list, she was in a bar in Texas. Seven years before my colleague Deborah Laake slaughtered herself, she wrote a famous Mormon-bashing book, "Secret Ceremonies: A Mormon Woman's Intimate Diary of Marriage and Beyond." After it was published in the spring of 1993, Laake's book was an immediate success, whizzing onto the New York Times bestseller list, where it remained for 15 weeks. ![]() ![]() ![]() There are few splash pages, but the wide panels are wondrous and detailed. The illustrations are old fashioned but noir, simple and realistic, emotional and impressionistic. ![]() Sean Phillips and Dave Stewart are incredible. And that's the nature of Josephine and Fatale itself. I love how so many characters are intertwined. Bishop and later known as Hansel, his demonic henchmen, and all the other fodder connected to Jo. Then the Satanic cult The Method, the Hollywood sycophants and creeps like Gavin Wilder, the supernatural Mr. In 1978, Miles the failed actor and Suzy Scream the cultist groupie. In 1953, Hank the investigative reporter and Booker the crooked cop. In 2012, Nicolas the paranoid researcher and grandson of Hank. The other characters are brilliantly written, especially Josephine's lovers. Her troubled past is a tangled web of lust, death and heartbreak, and like her flies you can't help but stare. Men are helpless under her power, yet she seems powerless compared to the dark powers that pursue her. ![]() Our protagonist is Josephine, a dark and mysterious seductress. And Brubaker is now one of my favorite indie comic writers. But this creative team is so talented that they've sold to me what I wouldn't ordinarily read. ![]() Noir and horror not are not my favorites, although I do enjoy them.

Other images range from professional portraits to accidental double exposures, via photographic formats such as tintypes, ambrotypes, cdvs, cabinet cards, real photo postcards and albumen prints. Culled from artist Steve Roden's collection of thousands of vernacular photographs related to music, sound and listening, the many gems to be found in this book (and its accompanying two CDs) include accounts of the Barnum-esque Professor McRea (“Ontario's Musical Wonder” ) and anonymous African-American guitar players, and an amazing trove of photographs of early phonographs. Dust-to-Digital's marvelously titled I Listen to the Wind That Obliterates My Traces compiles music, photographs and literary excerpts that reflect on or present music itself as subject matter, from the earliest days of the phonograph. Music is as self-reflexive as any of the arts, even if its generally greater power to transport sometimes deceives us into thinking otherwise. ![]() ![]() ![]() Slinkier gowns with very little train are super easy to add a loop to the underside of the train.

Fate had conspired to burden us with the other's enduring presence. If this hadn't been for book club, I wouldn't have finished - it would have been chucked into the donation bin and deleted from my GR shelves.īut alas. ![]() I really had to force myself to stick with this one, and ended up skimming pages towards the end because I just no longer cared about the story. But hey, try new things, right? Maybe it'll work out. ![]() I'm going to be honest with you here - if my book club hadn't chosen this as the pick of the month, I never would have bothered to finish THE SECRET CHORD. THE SECRET CHORD is a book about the life of King David, from valorous beginning to tragic end, told by Nathan the Prophet. While I enjoy historical fiction, I prefer reading about time periods I know at least something about so reading doesn't turn into information overload, but I know next to nothing about King David, apart from the fact that he defeated Goliath. ![]() ![]() Several public parks, including the Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks, were closed to visitors due to the ongoing heavy rain. Videos posted on social media showed a handful of homes and cars under a few feet of water and at least one road washed out in the town of Springville by the rushing river.
