Let's Play Overkill!: Selected Stories
ISBN: 9781453884492 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Someone said that all fiction is autobiographical however well disguised. Certainly this is psychologically true. Stephen King (I presume) never slashed anyone and perhaps never feared the knife, but he knew somehow to the tips of his toes what such experiences were like.

So maybe the autobiographical life of writers comes from both their personal experience and from their acute imaginings of events never lived. And in such imaginings comes the power and significance of fiction. It is a sharing of the reality...

"In poetry is found the true power of the language," he would tell them. "We see this especially in writers like Shakespeare where words are ripped from their moorings and made to soar..." He wanted so much for them to understand that the ideas in Siddhartha, for a different example, were profound and noble. He said, "You could listen to the river, and if you listened with all your heart and soul, you could hear every sound and know the heart of every creature, great and small, and see that they are all the same... "This is an...

Dennis Littrell's True Crime Companion: Reviews of Some of the Best True Crime Books Ever Penned With Updates

He recalls the satanic sexual abuse hysteria of the late 1980s and early 1990s and sets the perception of what happened and why straight as a laser beam. The war on drugs? He's got a take on that. Scott...
