Chilling Stories of the Bat Kingdom by Amrahs Hseham Pdf

Bats, often misunderstood and unfairly burdened with associations of darkness and malevolence, have long been intertwined with folklore, mythology, and the realms of the supernatural. Their nocturnal flights and cryptic behaviors have fueled the human imagination, giving rise to legends that transcend cultures and civilizations. In this collection, we embark on a journey through the haunted dimensions where bats become conduits for curses, ancient pacts, and spectral entities that manifest in chilling tales of horror. There's a peculiar allure to darkness—a fascination that borders on the unknown and the forbidden. Bats, with their silent flights and haunting cries, have become symbolic emissaries of the night. As we delve into these horror stories, we invite you to suspend disbelief and embrace the sinister beauty that dwells within the shadows. The genesis of this anthology lies in the exploration of the primal fears that echo through generations. Bats, with their associations with vampires, witches, and supernatural omens, have been both feared and revered throughout history. As we curated these tales, we aimed not only to elicit shivers down the spine but also to unravel the rich tapestry of human imagination and the primal instincts that respond to the unknown.

Interview with Rumpelstiltskin Junior by Lilly Fröhlich Pdf

Everyone knows Rumpelstiltskin - but do you know his son? I, Emma Valentino, am 14 years old and almost a normal teenager. Actually, I had planned to hand over an invitation to my dream boy Steven for my fancy-dress party. Brave enough, I had asked my aunt on a night of a full moon to drive me to his house because in the daytime, the heartthrob of my school was constantly mobbed by that stupid Anastasia and her girlfriends. But then, it was all quite different. Suddenly, I sat in an isolated cabin in front of a shock-headed dwarf, who claimed to be Rumpelstiltskin's son. Rumpelstiltskin Junior was fed up that his father went down in the fairytale history of the 'humanlings' as a villain. And, he wanted to get away with prejudices. As a quid pro quo for the interview, he promised me a date with Steven. Nevertheless, the fairytale of Rumpelstiltskin, the revengeful King Laurentz, the bored Princess Anna, the superior Giant Maximus and the streetwise 'Pixian' Jakob had more than just one surprise in store. And so, I tumbled into a fairytale adventure instead of a date with Steven.

As You Desire by Connie Brockway Pdf

A rake in tarnished armor… Desdemona Carlisle has spent most of her young life dreaming of a knight in shining armor. When a dashing figure in midnight-black riding a snow-white steed comes to rescue her from the ruffians who have kidnapped her, she believes her destiny has finally arrived. She surrenders herself to the masked stranger’s embrace only to discover her rescuer is none other than Harry Braxton, the scoundrel who stole her heart when she was just a girl, adding it to his collection of exotic treasures as if it were just another trinket.

Handbook of Research on the Global Impacts and Roles of Immersive Media by Morie, Jacquelyn Ford,McCallum, Kate Pdf

The world is witnessing a media revolution similar to the birth of the film industry from the early 20th Century. New forms of media are expanding the human experience from passive viewership to active participants, surrounding and enveloping us in ways film or television never could. New immersive media forms include virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), mixed reality (XR), fulldome, CAVEs, holographic characters, projection mapping, and mixed experimental combinations of old and new, live, and generated media. With the continued expansion beyond the traditional frame, practitioners are crafting these new media to see how they can influence and shape the world. The Handbook of Research on the Global Impacts and Roles of Immersive Media is a collection of innovative research that provides insights on the latest in existing and emerging immersive technologies through descriptions of case studies, new business models, philosophical viewpoints, and scientific findings. While highlighting topics including augmented reality, interactive media, and spatial computing, this book is ideally designed for media technologists, storytellers, artists, journalists, designers, programmers, developers, manufacturers, entertainment executives, content creators, industry professionals, academicians, researchers, and media students.

The Wizardly Journey by M.S. Metcalf Pdf

‘In a distant time on the island of Axis that sat in the southern Atlantic, a translucent blue butterfly fluttered its delicate gossamer wings while dancing its whimsical way through fragrant flowers and ferns in sleepy woodland waking up to a glorious brand new day. Sunlight shone through twisted, thick gnarly branches of trees older than time itself. Standing there, the timeless trees stood like megalithic statues greeting the solar dawn.’ The Wizardly Journey is a colourful and diverse escapist fantasy novel, which is full of interesting characters, each of whom represent the extremes and duality of human nature. Some are dedicated to saving precious lives and fragile eco-systems, living authentically with kindness and courage, while others are selfish and hide a dark agenda. This book will take the reader on a magical journey through different cultures, myths, legends and exotic locations. As well as opening the reader’s eyes to an amazing fairytale, The Wizardly Journey explores very real human issues such as conserving the planet, protecting animals, marine and avian life and the environment. A kaleidoscopic journey through the light and dark energies of humankind, this book will appeal to readers aged 13 and over. Written with the aim to giving animals a voice, The Wizardly Journeydraws attention to animals’ concerns and addressed them with an open mind.
