Coup De Grâce by Sofia Ajram Pdf

A mindbending and visceral experimental horror about a young man trapped in an infinite Montreal subway station, perfect for readers of Mark Z. Danielewski and Susanna Clarke. Vicken has a plan: throw himself into the Saint Lawrence River in Montreal and end it all for good, believing it to be the only way out for him after a lifetime of depression and pain. But, stepping off the subway, he finds himself in an endless, looping station. Determined to find a way out again, he starts to explore the rooms and corridors ahead of him. But no matter how many claustrophobic hallways or vast cathedral-esque rooms he passes through, the exit is nowhere in sight. The more he explores his strange new prison, the more he becomes convinced that he hasn't been trapped there accidentally, and amongst the shadows and concrete, he comes to realise that he almost certainly is not alone. A terrifying psychological nightmare from a powerful new voice in horror.

Firefly - Coup de Grâce by Una McCormack Pdf

Join Mal and the gang in this enthralling original tie-in novel from the award-winning series. The Serenity crew head to Yell City, one of the settlements on Abel, a moon in the Rim.

Lucky for them, Annie Roberts is more than capable of handling herself. Unlucky for them, the job is lot more complicated than they first think. Annie’s father is not just the victim of local gang violence, but the target of some powerful men. Taking down a local gang is one thing, but cleaning up a whole city?

Coup De Grace in Three Acts by Ray Johnstone Pdf

Book 2 in The Triumph of Evil Trilogy. Living in France during the Nazi Occupation is tough, dark and dangerous. In order to escape the forced labour scheme that sends French kids to work in German factories, Philippe joins the French resistance, but his best friend Yves - who has a scar on his face that makes him look as if he's always smiling - joins the Milice or French Gestapo. The boyhood friends are now on opposite sides in one of the bloodiest conflicts in history. While hiding in the forest with the underground movement, Philippe goes swimming with some young patriots. One of them is circumcised - he must be a Jew. Then the band of French partisans gets orders to attack the crack Das Reich Division. But things go badly wrong. The Nazis are an efficient fighting machine - the French as rag-tag secret army. Philippe is badly wounded and found by a German patrol. An officer arrives who speaks perfect French. And his mouth is twisted into a permanent smile... In war there are no winners, and in 'Coup de Grace In Three Acts', good does not triumph over evil - the price for treachery is seldom exacted - and brutality is meted out equally on both sides of the struggle for Liberation. This three act version of my novel 'Coup de Grace', is a neo-noir film script presented in a non-movie industry format that makes it easy for everyday readers to enjoy. It is based on my novel of the same name but many changes have been made - especially the denoument - which is very different from that in the book.

The Short Stories of Ambrose Bierce by Stuart C. Woodruff Pdf

One of the most interesting figures to emerge at the turn of the twentieth century was Ambrose Bierce, whose acerbic columns in the San Francisco Examiner spread his fame as America's most bitter cynic and misanthrope, and whose disappearance into Mexico surrounded his name with an aura of mystery. Although best known during his lifetime for his journalism and always critical of his own writing—"the magnificent intention mocked by the actual achievement"—Bierce's fiction endures, especially his short stories about the Civil War. Originally published in the 1890s and rediscovered in the 1920s, the Civil War stories are filled with unsparing descriptions of death and suffering, disillusionment and fatalism. They also show a concern for form and craftsmanship, a controlled irony, and an economy of detail that are distinctly modern. In this pioneering study of Bierce's stories, Stuart Woodruff examines the best and worst of Bierce's fiction with clarity and excellent critical sense, and he traces the causes of Bierce's success and failure as a writer, analyzing his inability to reconcile the extremes of temperament and belief that marked his life and give his stories their characteristic form. Among the pieces discussed: "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge," "The Mocking-bird," "One of the Missing," "Chickamauga," "Ha•ta the Shepherd," "What I Saw at Shiloh," and excerpts from The Devil's Dictionary and Tales of Soldiers and Civilians.

Garner's Modern American Usage by Bryan Garner Pdf

Since first appearing in 1998, Garner's Modern American Usage has established itself as the preeminent guide to the effective use of the English language. Brimming with witty, erudite essays on troublesome words and phrases, GMAU authoritatively shows how to avoid the countless pitfalls that await unwary writers and speakers whether the issues relate to grammar, punctuation, word choice, or pronunciation. An exciting new feature of this third edition is Garner's Language-Change Index, which registers where each disputed usage in modern English falls on a five-stage continuum from nonacceptability (to the language community as a whole) to acceptability, giving the book a consistent standard throughout. GMAU is the first usage guide ever to incorporate such a language-change index. The judgments are based both on Garner's own original research in linguistic corpora and on his analysis of hundreds of earlier studies. Another first in this edition is the panel of critical readers: 120-plus commentators who have helped Garner reassess and update the text, so that every page has been improved. Bryan A. Garner is a writer, grammarian, lexicographer, teacher, and lawyer. He has written professionally about English usage for more than 28 years, and his work has achieved widespread renown. David Foster Wallace proclaimed that Bryan Garner is a genius and William Safire called the book excellent. In fact, due to the strength of his work on GMAU, Garner was the grammarian asked to write the grammar-and-usage chapter for the venerable Chicago Manual of Style. His advice on language matters is second to none.
