But too late, she felt its long clawed fingers grab her hair and push her to the ground. ![]() The Sentinel river camp was just over the other side. At any moment, she would be close enough for her screams for help to be heard, she was almost at the river. She turned to face forward trying to block the terror that was overtaking her mind, fear pushing her to run faster. Its enormous crimson eyes filled with hatred, the long pointed ears folded back behind its deer shaped head, with long human-like arms, pumping furiously as it ran. It shrieked at her in fury as she looked at it. She turned once again only to see the creature catching up to her. She could hear its labored breathing as it continued its pursuit. She screamed as it drew near and began to close the distance between them. The long bird-like legs carrying it at horrifying speed. The last thing she saw before turning back around was a towering dark creature noticing her escape and beginning to take chase. ![]() “Run Laurel! Run!

A copy of Glanvill's book was in Mather's library when he died. ![]() Its arguments are largely derivative of Saducismus Triumphatus by Joseph Glanvill. Mather saw witches as tools of the devil in Satan's battle to "overturn this poor plantation, the Puritan colony", and prosecution of witches as a way to secure God's blessings for the colony. It espoused the belief that witchcraft was an evil magical power. The book defended Mather's role in the witchhunt conducted in Salem, Massachusetts. ![]() It was subtitled, Observations As well Historical as Theological, upon the Nature, the Number, and the Operations of the Devils. The Wonders of the Invisible World was a book written by Cotton Mather and published in 1693. ![]() ![]() ![]() What comes through most clearly from Dopesica is that we have to undo the vast transfer of wealth from poor and middle-class Americans to the rich. ![]() Other than Purdue Pharma, the only figures on whom she specifically pins responsibility for overdose deaths in the region are two black heroin dealers. Even Macy has a hard time grasping this fact, perhaps because of the curious racial bias that deforms her narrative. The simple truth doesn’t sit well with us: today, even for white people, selling drugs pays better than working. But it has been much harder to see when the unemployed in question are white. Dopesick is a gripping American drama miniseries that aired on Hulu, created by Danny Strong. You can clear a few grand a month as a low-level distributor, even more if you don’t dip into the product yourself. Where the factories and mines have closed down and the safety net, after years of budget cutting, is in tatters, selling drugs is a way to get by. Despite her fidelity to the conventional narratives-poor white despair, evil Big Pharma-what emerges from Macy’s detailed account is a radically different view of the opioid epidemic. ![]() ![]() ![]() In cases like this, the so-called discoverer didn’t really discover the thing so much as they found it again. History books are filled with examples of people credited with the discovery of a new place even though it was already inhabited, or of people credited with having made some kind of scientific or technological discovery when in fact it was known about for a long time by someone else or by people in another part of the world. ![]() Though its use can sometimes overlap with discover, the word uncover typically means something different-“to expose” or “to reveal.” To discover a conspiracy is to find out that it exists, but to uncover it is to reveal it.ĭiscovery involves seeing, learning of, or encountering something for the first time. When a discovery is made, it doesn’t necessarily mean that the thing found had been covered or hidden. It ultimately derives from the Late Latin discooperīre, meaning “to disclose” or “to expose.” The suffix -y is used to form abstract nouns from verbs (it’s used in the same way to form the noun recovery from the verb recover).

My very first introduction to Agatha Christie adaptations, was Death on the Nile. Too scared to try to read them, Agatha Christie remained a name on a well-known bookshelf until I was practically an adult. I remember how frightful some of those paperback covers were (why on earth did they ever do that? Did people honestly appealed to those?). Some of my fondest childhood memories, is visiting my Granny and my aunt over Summer Holidays and to this day can recall exactly where their vast Agatha Christie Collection was on the shelf. He recalls an earlier outburst by a fellow passenger: ‘I’d like to put my dear little pistol against her head and just press the trigger.’ Despite the exotic setting, nothing is ever quite what it seems… Who's also on board? Christie's great detective Hercule Poirot. ![]() She was young, stylish and beautiful, a girl who had everything – until she lost her life.

One of the most special treats is that kids have drawn wonderful pictures of one of her favorite characters, Fletcher. She's made some wonderful friendships and gotten lots of ideas for her books.
