A Long Day at the End of the World by Brent Hendricks Pdf

A chilling memoir of the Tri-State Crematory incident In February 2002, hundreds of abandoned and decayed bodies were discovered at the Tri-State Crematory in rural Georgia, making it the largest mass desecration in modern American history. The perpetrator—a well-respected family man and a former hometown football star—had managed to conceal the horror for five years. Among the bodies found at the Tri-State Crematory was that of Brent Hendricks's father. To quell the psychic disturbance surrounding the desecration, Hendricks embarked on a pilgrimage to the crematory site in Georgia. In A Long Day at the End of the World, he reveals his very complicated relationship with the South as he tries to reconcile his love-hate feelings for the culture with his own personal and familial history there, and his fascination with the disturbed landscape. In achingly beautiful prose, Hendricks explores his fraught relationship with his father—not just the grief that surrounded his death but the uncanniness of his resurrection. It's a story that's so heart-wrenching, so unbelievable, and so sensational that it would be easy to tell it without delving deep. But Hendricks's inquiry is unrelenting, and he probes the extremely difficult questions about the love between a parent and a child, about the way human beings treat each other—in life and in death—and about the sanctity of the body. It's the perfect storm for a true Southern Gothic tale.

Joshua’s Long Day @ American Tectonic Plate Movements by Anipe Steeven K.V. Premajyothi Pdf

A prominent third century (BC) philosopher narrated the story of Atlantis using a phrase “it was destroyed in single day and night.” Upon the author’s search for physical evidence for Joshua’s Long Day, this phrase became a base for historical speculations about this issue: • Link between Atlantis’ Deluge and Joshua’s Long Day • Conspiracy about Atlantis’ existence-time • Atlantis’ Deluge by tectonic plate movements in Atlantic Ocean • Before 1405 BC, Central American region was at a navigable distance to Atlantis • Divergence of North and South American plates and subduction of Nazca and Cocoos plates • Sea floor spread in the mid-Atlantic ridge • African and Arabian plates stood for about a day, that is, Joshua’s Long Day • American Plates travelled with unusual speed leading to long day and long night occurrences Countless books, faith in God’s miraculous acts, research and conversations with noble persons helped the author arrive at a conclusion.

The Art of Eating Through the Zombie Apocalypse by Lauren Wilson Pdf

Just because the undead's taste buds are atrophying doesn't mean yours have to! You duck into the safest-looking abandoned house you can find and hold your breath as you listen for the approaching zombie horde you've been running from all day. You hear a gurgling sound. Is it the undead? No—it's your stomach. When the zombie apocalypse tears down life and society as we know it, it will mean no more take out, no more brightly lit, immaculately organized aisles of food just waiting to be plucked effortlessly off the shelves. No more trips down to the local farmers' market. No more microwaved meals in front of the TV or intimate dinner parties. No, when the undead rise, eating will be hard, and doing it successfully will become an art. The Art of Eating through the Zombie Apocalypse is a cookbook and culinary field guide for the busy zpoc survivor. With more than 80 recipes (from Overnight of the Living Dead French Toast and It's Not Easy Growing Greens Salad to Down & Out Sauerkraut, Honey & Blackberry Mead, and Twinkie Trifle), scads of gastronomic survival tips, and dozens of diagrams and illustrations that help you scavenge, forage, and improvise your way to an artful post-apocalypse meal. The Art of Eating is the ideal handbook for efficient food sourcing and inventive meal preparation in the event of an undead uprising. Whether you decide to hole up in your own home or bug out into the wilderness, whether you prefer to scavenge the dregs of society or try your hand at apocalyptic agriculture, and regardless of your level of skill or preparation, The Art of Eating will help you navigate the wasteland and make the most of what you eat.

The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro Pdf

BOOKER PRIZE WINNER • From the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature, here is “an intricate and dazzling novel” (The New York Times) about the perfect butler and his fading, insular world in post-World War II England. This is Kazuo Ishiguro's profoundly compelling portrait of a butler named Stevens. Stevens, at the end of three decades of service at Darlington Hall, spending a day on a country drive, embarks as well on a journey through the past in an effort to reassure himself that he has served humanity by serving the "great gentleman," Lord Darlington. But lurking in his memory are doubts about the true nature of Lord Darlington's "greatness," and much graver doubts about the nature of his own life.

Apocalypse Any Day Now by Tea Krulos Pdf

It seems like people are always talking about the end of the world, doesn't it? Y2K, the Mayan Apocalypse, Blood Moon Prophecies, nuclear war, killer robots, you name it. In Apocalypse Any Day Now, journalist Tea Krulos travels the country to try to puzzle out America's obsession with the end of days. Along the way he meets doomsday preppers—people who stockpile supplies and learn survival skills—as well as religious prognosticators and climate scientists. He camps out with the Zombie Squad (who use a zombie apocalypse as a survival metaphor); tours the Survival Condos, a luxurious bunker built in an old Atlas missile silo; and attends Wasteland Weekend, where people party like the world has already ended. Frightening and funny, the ideas Krulos explores range from ridiculously outlandish to alarmingly near and present dangers.

Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World by Haruki Murakami Pdf

In this hyperkinetic and relentlessly inventive novel, Japan’s most popular (and controversial) fiction writer hurtles into the consciousness of the West. Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World draws readers into a narrative particle accelerator in which a split-brained data processor, a deranged scientist, his shockingly undemure granddaughter, Lauren Bacall, Bob Dylan, and various thugs, librarians, and subterranean monsters collide to dazzling effect. What emerges is simultaneously cooler than zero and unaffectedly affecting, a hilariously funny and deeply serious meditation on the nature and uses of the mind. From the Trade Paperback edition.

Just Another Day in the Zombie Apocalypse by L.C. Mortimer Pdf

The disease takes the world by storm. Ravaging the living, it takes no survivors. The end of the world comes swiftly and silently without much noise or fuss. It sneaks up on a group of neighbors who must bind together in order to survive. Alice is caught by surprise when the dead begin to rise. She's a paralegal: not a warrior. She's comfortable with paperwork and filing, but killing? That's not exactly in her job description. Soon Alice learns there's more to the end of the world than fighting the undead, though, and she realizes that if she's not careful, her companions are going to learn her secret. Mark is a soldier. He thought he'd left the pain of war behind, but now he knows that soldiers never really leave the battlefield. Even when your physical wounds heal, there's always some remnant of horror left behind. There's always something terrifying you. Kyle isn't afraid of the dark. At least, that's what he tells himself. He's an IT guy. He's not a fighter. He has no place in the zombie apocalypse, so he has to craft one for himself. Together, they'll make or break their own survival. Together, they'll figure out whether or not they can make this work. After all, it's just another day in the zombie apocalypse.
