Horror directed by Juan Fortuny and starring Paul Naschy, Silvia
Solar and Olivier Mathot. When a gang leader is killed, his cronies
go to extreme lengths in order to bring him back. Strapping a
helpless victim to a railway track and taking his dismembered head
for themselves, they enlist the help of an insane surgeon in
transplanting the mind of their boss into this new head, thinking
that this will return him to them. The gang quickly realise they've
got far more than they bargained for when the monstrous new person
before them immediately sets out on a bloody path of death and
destruction.
Evelyn Scott's first novel, The Narrow House, depicts a family
stricken by dysfunctional domesticity. Revolving around troubled
members of the Farley family, Scott exposes notions of romantic
love, longing, and the image of the Southern belle as damaging,
unrealistic constructs, all against the backdrop of a seemingly
normal middle-class existence that in previous decades had been
idealized in Southern writing. Published to high praise when it
appeared in 1921, The Narrow House vaulted Scott to literary
celebrity in her day. In this new critical edition, Mary E. Papke
contextualizes Scott's first and possibly best writing effort with
an astute introduction that discusses Scott and her contemporaries,
the work's importance to the genre of the novel, and the small but
ongoing reclamation of Scott's place in literary history.
Completely updated and formatted for a modern readership, this
critical edition of The Narrow House is sure to find its way into
classrooms and onto bookshelves.
Born Elsie Dunn in 1893 Clarksville, Tennessee, Evelyn Scott lived
a tumultuous life that took her to New York, Brazil, western
Europe, and the Caribbean. She published twelve novels during her
lifetime and was a notable literary figure in the 1920s and 1930s.
Published in 1937 alongside her penultimate novel, Background in
Tennessee is an autobiographical work devoted to Scott's Tennessee
birthplace, her family's history, and her broad view of Southern
history. Her wide-ranging exploration of the south interweaves
Scott's personal history with discussions of colonial settlement of
the region, local leadership of Clarksville and the larger
Nashville area, and race relations. In this new edition, Bill
Hardwig provides an analytical introduction that guides the reader
through Scott's intricate and winding exploration of early
twentieth-century Tennessee and her own past. He notes at once
Scott's ambivalence toward her native South and yet the nostalgia
with which she recounts personal memories. Complicated yet critical
to a full understanding of Evelyn Scott and her literary legacy,
this edition of Background in Tennessee makes available an
important voice in Tennessee's literary history for a new
generation.
God's morning is a collection of encouraging words, thanking God
for supplying us with His never ending grace, giving us a positive
outlook on every day He gives us. If we look around at all the
things that are happening, in the world today; negative and against
the Word of God, we could easily get discouraged with life itself.
One thing we fail to see is the goodness that is here, as it was in
the beginning; the blessings bestowed upon us by God, Himself,
every day, are still here. When we refuse to see anything other
than the evils of the world, we can't see Jesus and because things
are going the way they are, we definitely need Him. We need to call
on and invite Jesus in our lives to help us understand these
things. If we read our bibles we would know that the events and
nature of man are to change; preceding the coming of Christ. But
all will be sorted out with His coming. Each morning we need to
acknowledge the fact that WE NEED JESUS and all of His redeeming
grace. God's Morning also gives an example of how one can praise
and honor our Heavenly Father daily.
