Suppose that Satan has himself elected Mayor of a sleepy English seaside resort, on a pledge to clean up the streetwalkers, the beggars and the homeless. His methods are whimsical and quirky, but he knows villainy like he knows the back of his claw.Stood in his path are Helen, a tipsy transgender prostitute, Paul, an unemployed college teacher with obsessive-compulsive tendencies, and a bunch of misfits that includes a poker-playing priest and an old-style rat-catcher. Should be no contest really. After all, the poor long-suffering author is murdered in Chapter Twenty-Two.But this dystopian and darkly comic fantasy novel defies logic and battles its way through low life crises and spoof horror to a hard-won happy ending. This is literary fiction, though not quite as we have been used to it. Try it now for a very unusual read.

The world as you know it, is gone. Angels and hellions descended on Earth like an inevitable disease. They were a flood of liquid fire, drowning and scorching all the same, destroying everything they touched. Few free people have survived in the shadows of the woods, but those numbers are dwindling. As for Sky, her mother was an angel and father a human. She is what they call a Halfling, and she tries to survive in this godforsaken place.Sky's life takes a turn when she and her two friends are captured and brought to a hive. Three angelic royal bloodlines oversee tasks at the hive, and each takes a special interest in Sky and the secrets she keeps. Some will want to use her for her halfling gifts, to gain power, or for their sadistic desires. Unknowingly, Sky has joined an intricate game that has been going on for millennia, designed in elaborate weavings. It has been playing out long before she was born and will continue long after her bones turn to dust. To survive, Sky will need to confront fears, shift her allegiances, and protect her heart. Will she stand on her own, or be a shiny new game piece for others to use?

If you can't see Mr Punch, that means he's right behind you. Now. Don't you dare look around.Elements of fantasy and mild horror, dark comedy and perverse optimism, mingle in these bizarre stories. Make sense of them at your peril. They are linked by such surreal figures as Tommy Flyblow, a philosophical tramp, and Mr Punch, a grinning psychopath who breaks into the 'real' world from childhood nightmares and the English seaside.Transgender bohemians, a Paraguayan giant anteater, Pepper's ghost, Jenny Greenteeth and a raving postmodernist street preacher could also turn up. Even bird-headed men seem at home in this warped but recognisable view of our appalling times.This book is for anyone not afraid to wonder what lies beyond the spectacle of normality. If you have a clue what's happening, you can explain it to such baffled observers as Tommy Flyblow, Cute Max and, of course, Caroline the dustbin man. Why not try your luck with it now?
We are all homeless beggars. Everybody is searching for comfort, money or love. Even you and I.But Martin is a gentle tramp on a strange quest. With his world in a rucksack, he roams England in pursuit of Care in the Community and of Old Stompy, the stuffed Patagonian giant sloth donated long ago to a museum by his eccentric grandfather. Let us follow his progress as he wheedles and bluffs, helps and hinders, uses and is used.He settles for now in Liverpool, where he is torn between three women. Kathy is his former teenage sweetheart, devious and alcoholic. Alison is a scruffy bisexual drop-out, loyal but accident-prone. Fran is a neurotic housewife, oddly convinced that life has a meaning. Worse still, Martin must survive the friendly advances of Mr Snowman and his gang of ham-fisted cocaine dealers.Over the unexpected resolution of these conflicts looms the smirking, bear-like, enigmatic figure of the giant sloth. Could Old Stompy know the answers? Perhaps true love, safety and the community are still out there. Try this unusual homeless romance to share in the search.
Donita: New York: The fires smoldered but no longer burned. Donita walked down Eighth Avenue towards Columbus Circle. Behind her a silent army followed, numbering in the thousands. From the circle they would take the park. There were thousands of the living camped out in the park. She could smell them on the air that flowed past her face as she walked. They had believed they were safe in their numbers. They had believed that nothing could touch them with their barricades. And for a time that had been true, but that time was passed now. She had left rapid city and begun her walk with only twenty-five faithful. Jeff, the big red haired man that she had taken months before, was still with her. One of the twins, and several boys who followed. The others had come to her as she walked. The small towns, and the dead cities along the way, added their contributions from those that had gathered in those places. Many waiting for her. There were dozens of cities they controlled now. Dotted along the route she had walked. Some she had called and set in a place of power with the ability to call more of their own to them. Some had been there waiting for her. All had known who she was, and all had bowed to her power.She had wound up through the southern states, what had been left of Mobile, Alabama had fallen easily, from there they had taken Atlanta, Georgia, and then into the Carolinas, Columbus, Charlotte, Durham, and spreading beyond that into Richmond, Virginia. She had followed the scent of the living from there into the wilderness and looked down on their place of refuge from the ridge tops with her soldiers spread out around her. She had left reluctantly, but with the knowledge that she would be back.A scatter of wrecked and long burned out vehicles partially blocked the entrance. A line of buses blocked the roads and pathways into the park. Sheet steel was welded over the windows. Holes burned through with Acetylene torches every few feet as gun ports.She watched as the barrel of a rifle slipped through a ragged hole in the sheet steel. She looked around at her silent army once more and then thrust her head back, face staring up at the moon, and screamed into the darkening night. As a mass they all ran at the line of buses.
Arlene's JournalIt's the night before the six will leave to go back to the outside. I think of it that way... The outside. This place is something I have never had. So much love, so much caring, it overwhelmed me for the first little while. That and the other. Having to kill a man. But it was worse for those who stayed behind when we made our way to this place. If they had not stayed to fight the rest of us would not have been able to get away. David told me what it had been like for them. They had to kill too. They had to kill children that were controlled like puppets. Deadly puppets to be sure, but a puppet is a puppet... a slave.And now we're sending them back out again into a world that can't be any better than it was. It's worse in some ways. We didn't have to deal with the dead. The radio tells us they have taken over most of the bigger cities. I just can't imagine it. But We're sending them out tomorrow, and all so that we can live a little better. Nothing that we absolutely have to have. We have everything we could ever need right here. But to live better. To live better we need other things. It makes me wonder if we have changed all that much after all. I hope it is not a move toward the old society. I really hope not. Enough negativity though. They're going. I voted yes too, and there are thing's they will bring back that I asked for too.On a lighter note I think almost every woman in the Nation is pregnant. I guess that's a bit of an exaggeration, but not much. Me, Patty, Candace, Lilly, Annie. Jane, Alice and Amber are pretty sure. There are so many more people here. It seems almost like we grow every week. Maybe we do, come to think of it. Oh and now Molly too, and I wonder who the father is? But how would I ask Molly without sounding too nosy or even insensitive? Babies and more Babies, and thank God for them. They are our real crop. We joke about that, how in a few weeks it will be time to bring in the corn and that's our crop, but our real business, our real crop, is babies.Sandy and Susan are thinking about it too, only they both want to get pregnant. They're trying to decide who goes first. God bless them.Some times I think I am a long way from my roots. In another respect it seems to me that I have spent my entire life trying to get to this place... This condition... And I am so glad that I am here.May God go with ours tomorrow as they go back to the outside. Keep them safe. Bring them right back to us.
Au rythme d'un apprenti comédien qui se métamorphose sous nos yeux, Jean-Philippe dépasse tout ce qui a été enseigné avec la formation de l'acteur. Et, il nous livre ici, sa technique exclusive pour atteindre le sommet de son art. En fait, nous sommes témoin de son travail tout au long de sa préparation du rôle, et nous découvrons, comment il descend dans les arcanes de son âme pour dialoguer avec son inconscient. Nous comprenons en quoi ses affabulations influencent sa vie.______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Passionné par l'interprétation du rôle théâtral, autant que par la musique ou la peinture, l'auteur partage avec nous son travail, en publiant l'expérience de toute une vie: "Comment devenir un acteur extraordinaire ?" à travers ce récit, il nous emmène à la découverte du Moi et de l'inconscient. Le génie de l'acteur se reflète autour de cette trame infernale d'un amour sans retour, pour nous faire apparaître la substantifique moelle qui l'anime.Ce livre nous explique la technique qui consiste à être soi-même efficace et performant dans n'importe quelle situation ou activité humaine. Pour la première fois, il nous révèle la méthode qu'il emploie. Il décrit précisément les mécanismes intérieurs qui l'animent et qui lui permettent de surmonter ses faiblesses. Ce manuel exceptionnel de clarté et d'explications est le fruit d'une recherche assidue qui a commencé dans les années 1990, et qui se poursuit jusqu'à aujourd'hui.
