That Book Your Mad Ancestor Wrote

---

Cannot praise this collection of stories highly enough. Despite the wide variety of voices the author uses and subjects she covers, the extremely high quality of the writing never wavers throughout. Highly imaginative, original, funny, thought-provoking at times and never less than completely entertaining. At times there are hints of Angela Carter, Michael Mooorcroft or Neil Gaiman in the genetic make-up of her writing but mostly Excellent short story collection from a brilliant author new to me.

I seldom choose a favourite, but "Maldoror Abroad" and "Alsiso" are the ones that have really penetrated my brain and set up for the long haul.

Dec 17, James rated it really liked it. Jan 12, Kimberly rated it did not like it. I paused a couple times because I was slogging through gibberish and this time, I just can't bring myself to restart. A few of the stories kinda almost made enough sense to follow, but I couldn't take it anymore. A good collection of short stories. Dec 26, Jenni Halpin rated it really liked it.

Imagery and fabulation reminiscent of Angela Carter. Apr 13, Lisa rated it really liked it. A mixed bag - some of the short stories are tedious, some are just plain confusing, and some are absolutely marvellous. Overall, the stories reminded me a lot of Borges, in a good way.

I'm a spec fic writer and artist. Wearing either hat my work tends towards the strange. Sometimes it's dark and decadent strange, sometimes more whimsical. As a reader I look for vivid characterisation and strong evocation of place. Surrealism is always welcome on my shelves, and I love comedy. My influences include everything I've ever read, watched, listened to, or eaten. If you're interested in I'm a spec fic writer and artist.

Anything would be helpful, thank you. I partially read this book in college, someone had suggested, but never had the chance to finish it before returning it. I forgot the title, but I think the title was a double entendre. The book is a story being told by a primate, chimpanzee or ape. The primate is discussing where we are heading as humans, a kind of warning about how we are impacting the environment. I do recall a metaphor where the primate describes a person believing they were flying a pedal powered craft, and the primate said, from the pilot's point of view they may believe they are flying even as we can observe they are falling, and until impact they may maintain their belief; something to that affect.

I wish I could remember the name of this book as I was enjoying it before I returned it. I read a short story in college as part of Southern gothic literature course.

The hero hires a nurse to take care of the heroine also. My boyfriend read a book when he was about 15, he said it had the word game in the title.

He does these things for money and the price increases with every new task he is given.

Twin sisters from the same coven, one is really without a soul as a bad woman who was murdered by a demon centuries bf, who betrayed him, split the soul of two sisters The two fall in love and she becomes pregnant but she has a vision of what the end will be.

Some details may be a little mixed up. Twin sister comes home to join her coven, after a death in the family, and there are strange neighbors with powers, who murder someone, bury and glamor all evidence away.

They take an interest in her and she ends up falling in love with the main male character, who I believe is part demon or something.

I read a book in when I was a 6th grader about a guy who is struck by lightening and wakes up in a war. The war had Japanese or Vietnamese soldiers I forget which. I believe the story begins with him in the attic or basement of his house and looking through old war items his father had because he was a veteran. He is struck by lightening when he is riding his bike. I am not sure of anything else but I remember this book being short. I'm looking for a book I read a few years ago when I wasn't quite a young adult. I remember that it had like a pink and green cover, it was a young adult novel.

The summary of it is that there were 2 girls who were best friends but the best friend of the main character was getting "too popular" for the main character and they split ways because of that. She became a bully towards her. Then our main character went to visit her dad at work and met his new assistant and they clicked. He brought her to parties and such without the dad knowing. They had a secret relationship. But then at the end, when it was her school dance, her former best friend was trying to take away her man because she didnt deserve someone so hot.

But main character just laughed and her bf asked the former best friend to dance, knowing that former best friend was way to insecure and main character knew that he loved her for her and not because shes hot or unpopular. It was an illustrated childrens' book in the library of the small private Catholic school I attended til I was 10 and I can still remember the pictures so clearly, and have searched for almost two decades with no luck. It has several short stories and there's faint blood splatter on nearly every page.

There was a story about a couple who moved into a cottage in a small town -- the husband is warned about the stone knights in the church coming to life on a certain night and he goes to see if all is well, but only notices two fingers broken off one statue. When he returns home, his wife is dead but in her clenched hand are the stone knight's fingers. There's one about a cowboy set to be hanged but his neck stretches crazy long and he runs around terrorizing everyone with his eyes bulged out until someone shoots him dead.

There's one about a painter who meets this young woman and something about a rose and he paints her portrait and at the end finds out she was actually a ghost. And one about a homeless? They move into a castle her aunt and some cousins are in but is maybe really supposed to belong to her and her sister now I think. She meets a handsome land owner, Adrian who has a black stallion.

Her brochure gets the attention of the high powered executive she had worked for and eventually gets her an even better position at the marketing firm. There's this book that I've been looking for. I remember a phrase on the front cover but not the title itself or the author. The phrase is something along the lines of "would you rather have the perfect life or the perfect love. In both lives, she looks exactly the same but her lives are very different.

The poorer sister is the happier of the two.

The book alternates between her perspective and the perspective of an alien living on the same planet. The alien finds her hiding in a cave, approaches her, and they tentatively eventually become mutuals. There was this one part I remember about the difference in a smile between species — humans smile by showing their teeth, which the alien viewed as threatening, and the aliens smiled by sticking out their tongues, which the girl didn't initially recognize as a smile.

There was a boy involved who could turn into a wolf and I think in these dreams this wolf would lead her throughout a dreamscape wilderness to find something to defeat some higher power. In the end the girl ended up having been stolen at birth by her "mother" and she finds her true parents and goes to live with them but isn't happy as she obviously has grown up with someone else as her parent.

There's a dramatic standoff at the end where the "mother" threatens to kill herself in a motel? I'm looking for a book I read maybe years ago, it was from my high school library and probably categorised as young adult fiction. I think the girl defeats the higher power in the dream and stops having the dream. I really wanna find out what it was called because it was very good and shed light on the life of a deaf lip-reader.

I'm looking for a book set in Europe, there was a bus accident, one girl was pregnant, she had the baby in a restroom after the accident, and I believe she died. A lady on the bus wrapped the baby and left her on a doorstep, the rest of the book intertwines the life of the baby and a young boy that was on the bus also. I can't remember the name of a book that I read, it was set in Europe as I recall, there was a group of people from a small town that went on an excursion in a bus and they have an accident, some of the group die in the accident, but one young pregnant girl has her baby right after the accident, the baby is delivered by 2 ladies from the group and one lady takes the baby girl and leaves her on a doorstep, the rest of the book is about the intertwining of the lives of the baby girl and a young boy that had also been on the bus.

Im looking for a book i read about 10 years ago. Its about a girl who goes to live with a family member. She goes to viset the kid when shes not allowed to. I'm looking for a book that I read when I was a child. It was a chapter book but it had a few pictures. I believe it was a series but I only had one of them. It was either two sisters or two cousins who solved mysteries. One if the girls had short curly hair, glasses and was kind of an ugly duckling.

The other girl was I think named amy and she had long blonde hair. The other girl was always a little jealous of her. The book I had, they traveled to the woods and there was an island with mystery lights. I'm looking for a children's picture book about a little girl who didn't want to go to sleep because she didn't want to miss anything. I think she had older siblings in the story. Later in the story, she has a really good dream and didn't want to wake up because she didn't want to miss anything in the dream. She has long braided hair and is also a virgin. I know they can join minds at intimate times too.

I'm looking for 2 books I read in prison. The groom gets all the women of the town to make her a wedging quilt from odd pieces of cloth. Anyone knows these books. I can't remember the names or author. I remember reading a book about a girl who lives in a "perfect world" where the government decides everything for you.

The whole place is surrounded by wall panels, in a globe shape. Her job is basically sitting in a chair and clicking any panel that flickers. One day she sees a panel flicker a bit outside of her designated zone, but when she checks it out something happens and she gets a warning. If you get 3 warnings, you are kicked out of the place. That Book Your Mad Ancestor Wrote is in some ways a catalog of artistic adventures, a collection of romps, experiments, and dreams.

Bishop tries on different hats: And, of course, there's surrealism—no cledonomancer worth the name is going to miss the chance to submit to language in that absolute, trance-like way. There are themes in this exuberant variety. The most striking of them has yellow eyes.

How to Find That Book You've Spent Years Looking For

His hair is usually long. He's a paragon of elegance, especially when it comes to killing. Maldoror is not exactly Gwynn, but the two share a joyful amorality, a pleasure in the well-executed execution. Alsiso the assassin shares it, too. The Marquis, who shows up in "Two Dreams" and "Madame Lenora's Rings," is perhaps another avatar of this seductive and casually murderous personality. The narrator of "Two Dreams" describes the Marquis as "a kind of discarnate being or character who in waking hours inhabits my mind as a friend and collaborator, but who has manifested in frightening forms in one or two other dreams.

In "Between the Covers," the "demon lover" is a book: For this writer, stories aren't works she constructs, but creatures of happenstance that come to stay with her and dictate themselves: That's when the Devil enters, and informs her that the two of them have an agreement: She also gave up the ability ever to fall in love with another novel.

It's a devastating little story. It reads like a cautionary tale on the pitfalls of cledonomancy: Whether or not K.
