Summary

Charles Brockden Brown's 'Memoirs of Carwin the Biloquist (A Fragment)' delves into the psychological complexities of the human mind, using the literary device of biloquism to explore themes of deception, manipulation, and the blurred lines between reality and illusion. The novel is situated within the Gothic literary tradition, with dark and mysterious themes, intricate plot twists, and a sense of impending doom that looms over the narrative. Brown's writing style is sophisticated and nuanced, drawing readers into a world where nothing is as it seems and where the boundaries between truth and falsehood are constantly shifting. The book is a masterpiece of psychological suspense and a fascinating exploration of human nature. Charles Brockden Brown, known as the first professional American novelist, was a pioneer of Gothic fiction and an influential figure in early American literature. His keen understanding of psychology and his exploration of the darker aspects of the human psyche make 'Memoirs of Carwin the Biloquist' a compelling and thought-provoking read. I highly recommend this novel to readers who enjoy dark, psychological thrillers and appreciate the intricacies of Gothic literature.

Then again, neither was the Apocalypse.It's hard enough trying to navigate a new world of monsters, magic, and no decent takeout. Then there's the strange magic corrupting the land that affects them more now that Shane is tied to the collections of magical energy throughout the countryside, and Lucas has an ancient elemental spirit riding shotgun in his head.Yeah, they never mentioned this stuff in training.The Wasteland Marshals series is an action-packed near-future post-apocalyptic thriller full of grim ghosts, legendary creatures, shifters, and elemental spirits, brave survivors, loyal friends, and found family. This omnibus includes the first four novellas: Wasteland Marshals, Witch of the Woods, Ghost of the Past, and Shutdown Crew.
