Beschreibung

In "The Dark Mother," Waldo David Frank crafts a profound exploration of the psychological labyrinths that shape human relationships, particularly the complex ties between mothers and their children. Through lush, evocative prose, Frank delves into themes of identity, dependency, and the inexorable pull of familial bonds. The narrative breathes life into the emotional struggles of his characters, deftly intertwining their personal histories with broader existential questions, thus situating the work within the literary context of modernist thought and psychological realism. The novel is marked by its rich symbolism and an immersive style that invites readers to traverse the depths of the human psyche. Waldo David Frank, an influential figure in early 20th-century American literature, was deeply engaged in the societal and cultural shifts of his time. Born into a Jewish family and later a proponent of progressive ideals, Frank's lifelong introspection into the human condition and familial dynamics reflects his own experiences with love, loss, and societal expectations. His varied career as an essayist, novelist, and critic reveals the philosophical underpinnings that inspired "The Dark Mother," making it a significant addition to his oeuvre. Readers seeking a poignant and thought-provoking narrative will find "The Dark Mother" an essential read. Frank's ability to fuse emotional depth with intricate character studies invites reflection on one's own familial relationships and the darker corners of love. This compelling work is recommended not just for its literary merit, but for its capacity to provoke introspection and discussion on the very nature of motherhood and identity.

    An invitation to speak at the Gotham Crime Fiction Conference draws Ann Kinnear into a mystery within a mystery, where the stakes are not just reputation and riches--they're life and death. 
    ★★★★★ "A riveting, fast-paced, intriguing read with a colorful cast of characters who pull you in and don't let go!" —Lisa Regan, USA Today and Wall Street Journal Bestselling Crime Fiction Author 
    Ann Kinnear has been invited to the Gotham Crime Fiction Conference to give a talk on "Making the Supernatural Super in Your Novel," but she isn't enthusiastic about adding public speaking to the offerings of Ann Kinnear Sensing. 
    Ann's conference liaison, editor Darren Van Osten, has problems of his own. His client, bestselling thriller author Jock Quine, was killed during a burglary at his Princeton mansion, and Darren is despairing of being able to coach Jock's bookish son Alec to pick up the authorial torch from his larger-than-life father. Darren's best hope of staying solvent is to capitalize on his most mysterious client, Lara Seaford, whose debut novel is sweeping the thriller awards. 
    Meanwhile, cozy mystery author Marilee Forsythe is demanding that her son and daughter-in-law, Jeremy and Jeanette, provide the money she needs to buy out her cozy contract and switch to her true calling: thriller novels. When Marilee is attacked at an author event and refuses to leave her Ocean City, Maryland, condo, the couple entertains guilty visions of a life without her disparaging comments and unreasonable demands. 
    As Ann's involvement in Darren and Jeanette's dilemmas deepens, she finds the cases have more in common than mere authorial posturing ... and that the stakes are life and death.

    "The Profound - Part 2" is the second volume of a narrative spanning many volumes. James Tannot, a young Irishman from Dublin, has no aspirations to become a hero or an enlightened master. His main objective is to enjoy his time as a medical student in Southern France and graduate as a doctor from Marseille University. However, he fails the entrance exam and shortly thereafter meets a peculiar Armenian doctor who introduces him to a secret community of healers called the Cymdeithas. This doctor takes him in and aims to turn him into a healer. Suddenly, James finds himself in a world where magic is as real as a supermarket in the Ordinary World, and where evil is just as real and brutal as the good is humorous and powerful. 
    During his training with the Cymdeithas, James not only encounters his soulmate, Manush, but also discovers that in this course of study, he must be willing to risk his life. 
    Manus Braith's novel introduces readers to a spiritual, magical world where enlightenment is approached in a unique way. Sometimes uproariously funny, at other times profound and contemplative, but always with a captivating drive that enthralls and leaves one longing. Clearly not a book for the dull, legalistic, or those who have given up on dreaming. However, it is undoubtedly a book for readers who have always felt that something is missing but could never quite put their finger on what, where, and how... 
    Fun and excitement are guaranteed. The individual volumes of the story seamlessly blend into each other, weaving a world that refuses to let go easily.
