Dance with Demons by Greg Lawrence Pdf

The first biography of the celebrated Broadway and Hollywood choreographer and director—a complex man of extraordinary genius and overwhelming demons. His work on such legendary shows as The King and I, West Side Story, Gypsy, Funny Girl, and Fiddler on the Roof made him one of the most influential and creative forces in the history of American theater. His collaborators, friends, and enemies were among the greatest celebrities of stage and screen, including Barbra Streisand, Bette Davis, Stephen Sondheim, Natalie Wood, Montgomery Clift, and Mary Martin. His brilliant contribution to the American Ballet Theater and the New York City Ballet established him as one of the century’s great choreographic masters of the form. But in 1998, Jerome Robbins died a haunted man. All of his life, he was tortured by private demons: his conflicted feelings about his bisexuality and his Judaism; his bitter relationship with his parents; his betrayals of others during the McCarthy hearings; and a demanding perfectionism that bordered on the sadistic. Now, this groundbreaking biography, based on hundreds of interviews with friends, family, and colleagues, provides the first complete portrait of the man and the artist—a harrowing, heartbreaking, and triumphant work as complicated and fascinating as the legend himself.

Speak of the Demon by Stacia Stark Pdf

I hunt demons.I don't work for them. And I promised my mom one thing before she was murdered: Under no circumstances, would I ever go near the high demons. But I'll break that promise over and over again if it helps me avenge her death. When my only lead turns to ash in the middle of demon territory, I'm suddenly a dead witch walking. Violence in Samael's club is an automatic death sentence... unless he can use you. And it turns out that the most powerful demon in the country has a use for little ol' me. Demons are being slaughtered. His demons. And as a bounty hunter, it's up to me to find out who would dare hurt his people. I've got two weeks to find the killer, and if I fail, I'm bonded to Samael. Forever. Samael's certain that I'll be his, but I'm not the kinda girl who risks her freedom for a demon. I'm the kinda girl who won't let anyone get in the way of her vengeance- not even the Machiavellian control freak who thinks he can run my life. The problem? I've pissed the wrong people off. Now I'm the one being hunted, and someone's coming for me with everything they have. But I'm never more dangerous than when my back is up against the wall. And I'm ready to come out swinging.

Demon's Dance by Keri Arthur Pdf

After dealing with human hunters killing werewolves for their pelts and a heretic witch determined to claim the wild magic for his own, the last thing either Lizzie Grace or Belle Kent need is a new evil burning into town. When Lizzie’s asked to find a missing woman, she’s well aware death awaits. What she doesn’t expect to find is a very human pile of skin next the woman’s body. Nor does she expect to be called to a murder scene that has the classic hallmarks of a vampire attack… except the bite marks don’t match any recorded vampire bite. As the body count grows, Lizzie, Belle, and Aiden struggle to find—and stop—whoever or whatever is behind the atrocities. But there’s an even greater danger on the horizon. The newly appointed reservation witch has arrived… and it’s someone Lizzie knows.

Demon Dance by Brian Freyermuth Pdf

Leave it to an ancient god to ruin a perfectly good afternoon. The story of my life. You know all those myths about gods and goddesses? Yeah, they're real. Sure, they're not what they once were, especially when their belief fades, but they're still nothing to mess with. And then there's me. My mother's human, but my father? I have no clue who or what he was. Just that he gave me some weird abilities and then vanished. Abilities like superhuman strength and speed... but with a craving for red meat. But that's neither here nor there. I left all that behind when I moved to Seattle after the death of my wife. Now I just want to settle down as a writer and forget that magical underworld even exists. It's too bad that world has other plans. When my former partner is killed by a demon and that same demon marks me for death, I have to dive right back into the deep end. And me without a life jacket. With the help of a voodoo houngan, a barista with a knack for magic, and a vampire mortician I might discover who killed my partner and maybe even survive the night. But more importantly, I'll find the one thing I lost a long time ago. Myself. Warning: This urban fantasy contains snarky gods and goddesses, action, mythological beasties, and a good ole' murder mystery. If you're a fan of Neil Gaiman, Jim Butcher, Patricia Briggs or Seanan McGuire, you'll love this brand new world where ancient forgotten gods walk hidden among us, and angels and demons fight for our very souls.
