A Fever in My Blood: The American Life and Tragic Death of Darrell Berrigan by Gary G. Yerkey Pdf

Growing up in Southern California, Darrell Berrigan was as restless as any other young American. He loved his country. But in the fall of 1938, at 24 years old, he chose a wilder course, leaving his hometown of Bakersfield and heading for the Far East, where he would spend the rest of his life. He covered World War II and its aftermath for United Press and other U.S. news outlets, earning a reputation as one of the finest reporters of his generation. He wrote for The Saturday Evening Post and The New York Times after the war and eventually settled in Bangkok, Thailand, where he launched the Bangkok World - an English-language newspaper that Time magazine called one of the "genuinely cultured pearls of the East." He returned briefly to the United States but said he couldn't get "un-Oriented." On the morning of October 3, 1965, his lifeless body was found in the back seat of his car near his home in central Bangkok. He had been shot in the back of the head under mysterious circumstances. He was 51 years old and gay.

The Blood of Heaven by Kent Wascom Pdf

“The work of a young writer with tremendous ambition, a bildungsroman of religion and revolution set during an obscure chapter of American history.” —The Washington Post A powerful and impressive debut novel from the winner of the Tennessee Williams/New Orleans Literary Festival Prize for fiction—first in the Woolsack family saga that continues with Secessia and The New Inheritors. The Blood of Heaven is the story of Angel Woolsack, a preacher’s son, who flees the hardscrabble life of his itinerant father, falls in with a charismatic highwayman, then settles with his adopted brothers on the rough frontier of West Florida, where American settlers are carving their place out of lands held by the Spaniards and the French. The novel moves from the bordellos of Natchez, where Angel meets his love Red Kate to the Mississippi River plantations, where the brutal system of slave labor is creating fantastic wealth along with terrible suffering, and finally to the back rooms of New Orleans among schemers, dreamers, and would-be revolutionaries plotting to break away from the young United States and create a new country under the leadership of the renegade founding father Aaron Burr. The Blood of Heaven is a remarkable portrait of a young man seizing his place in a violent new world, a moving love story, and a vivid tale of ambition and political machinations that brilliantly captures the energy and wildness of a young America where anything was possible. It is a startling debut. “Wascom is a craftsman, and each of his lengthy, winding sentences shimmers with the tang of blood and bone and sweat, and the archaic splendor of his language.” —The Boston Globe

Blood Oranges by Kathleen Tierney,Caitlin R. Kiernan Pdf

My name’s Quinn. If you buy into my reputation, I’m the most notorious demon hunter in New England. But rumors of my badassery have been slightly exaggerated. Instead of having kung-fu skills and a closet full of medieval weapons, I’m an ex-junkie with a talent for being in the wrong place at the right time. Or the right place at the wrong time. Or…whatever. Wanted for crimes against inhumanity I (mostly) didn’t commit, I was nearly a midnight snack for a werewolf until I was “saved” by a vampire calling itself the Bride of Quiet. Already cursed by a werewolf bite, the vamp took a pint out of me too. So now…now, well, you wouldn’t think it could get worse, but you’d be dead wrong.
