![]() ![]() ![]() Agent: Howard Morhaim, Howard Morhaim Literary. ![]() Other entries-including a disturbing alternate history, “Fade to White,” and clever myth retelling, “L’Esprit de L’Escalier”-are equally challenging.The result is an impressive showcase for a gifted author who never plays it safe. Cosmic horror tropes are further subverted by the narrator, a being who was born in the underwater city where the tentacled Cthulhu is confined and is utterly bored by his life there, complaining of “the ugly, kitschy non-Euclidean central business district.” The satire of this piece couldn’t be more different from the heartfelt thought experiment of “Silently and Very Fast,” in which Elefsis, an AI who originated as a smart house, pushes back on the trope of a man-made intellect wanting to become human, but both work on every level. Valente, Space Opera 52 likes Like No matter how mad, bad, and dangerous to know a civilization gets, unto every generation are born the lonely and the uncool, destined to forever stare into the candy-store window of their culture, and loneliness is the mother of ascension. “Down and Out in R’lyeh” opens with the line, “In his house at R’lyeh, dead Cthulhu farts in his sleep,” instantly puncturing the Lovecraftian menace with humor. The standouts are an irreverent take on the Cthulhu Mythos and a thought-provoking look at artificial intelligence. Valente ( Space Opera) shows off her versatility in this mind-blowing collection of 45 stories. ![]() ![]() ![]() Throughout my twenties, I made music that grappled with my race and identity. I went to NYU Film School, only to be wooed back west in my senior year to accept a screenwriting gig with A & M Films. I spent my childhood in shadowy nightclubs, on the funky streets of 70s Hollywood, and in my own broken home, watching folks hustle, intently listening to them spin tales. I’m the only child of William Morris agent-turned-cookie entrepreneur Wally “Famous” Amos, and singer Shirley “Shirl-ee May” Ellis. I’ve been lucky to meet and work with a lot of very talented people who all taught me how to live a creative life. Most people know me as blues musician, The Reverend Shawn Amos. ![]() We get into a discussion about the book, all of his latest music releases, and how folks can start to 'reclaim their legacy'.

Johnson has unsuccessfully run for governor and U.S. ![]() Johnson is a former state senator from Oklahoma City who has long championed abortion rights, criminal justice reform and the legalization of marijuana. “Clearly there's an obvious contrast,” said Democratic primary candidate Connie Johnson, laughing at the question of what separates her from Hofmeister. Hofmeister hopes she can appeal to Oklahoma voters as a moderate against a far-right governor, but first she faces a far-left primary challenger. “I am running for governor to rebuild what Kevin Stitt has destroyed: accountability and trust,” Hofmeister said when she officially filed for the race last week. State office elections: See which Oklahoma candidates have filed Now Hofmeister is hoping to become the first Democrat to be elected to a statewide position since 2006, the last time the party won the race for governor and several other statewide seats. "Dems have one now," said Alicia Andrews, chair of the Oklahoma Democratic Party, remarking on the first statewide Democratic official in more than a decade. ![]() When Joy Hofmeister switched parties last year to run for governor as a Democrat, the party's state chair was quick to point out that it now meant Democrats had one statewide seat - state superintendent of public instruction, Hofmeister's current position that she had won twice as a Republican. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The final book in King's epic The Dark Tower series, sees gunslinger Roland on a roller-coaster ride of exhilarating triumph and aching loss in his unrelenting quest to reach the dark tower.Ī story within a story which features both the younger and older gunslinger, it is also a wonderful introduction to The Dark Tower series.

There are enough forces warping peoples’ perceptions of themselves significant others don’t need to get in on the act. It’s bad enough that it’s Iris’ parent spreading these harmful ideas. Iris’ mom, Margarethe, is the origin of Iris’ lack of self-worth, calling her daughter plain and insisting no man will ever find Iris or her simple sister Ruth desirable. The conceit of Maguire’s story was this: what if the ugly stepsister wasn’t ugly at all? What if she’d been told her whole life by one person that no man would ever want her? ![]() The part I connected with was the plight of main character and aforementioned ugly stepsister, Iris. I love Gregory Maguire and have no intention of reading any of his books more than once.Ĭonfessions of an Ugly Stepsister was an odd blend of historical fiction and magical realism that offered an interesting take on the Cinderella myth. ![]() ![]() ![]() You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie Preferences, as described in the Cookie Notice. ![]() Click ‘Customise Cookies’ to decline these cookies, make more detailed choices, or learn more.
