As Aaron Mahnke reminds us, sometimes the truth is even scarier than the lore. Whether these beasts and bogeyman are real or just a reflection of our primal fears, we know, on some level, that not every mystery has been explained, and that the unknown still has the power to strike terror into our hearts. The monsters of folklore have become both a part of our language and a feature of our collective psyche.

With the adults indoors and the pubescent in Fruition, the children live wildly–they fight over food and shelter, free of their fathers’ hands and their mothers’ despair. But in the summer, the younger children reign supreme. They have children, who have children, and when they are no longer useful, they take their final draught and die. At the first sign of puberty, they face their Summer of Fruition, a ritualistic season that drags them from adolescence to matrimony. The daughters of these men are wives-in-training. Only the Wanderers–chosen male descendants of the original ten–are allowed to cross to the wastelands, where they scavenge for detritus among the still-smoldering fires. They built a radical society of ancestor worship, controlled breeding, and the strict rationing of knowledge and history. Years ago, just before the country was incinerated to wasteland, ten men and their families colonized an island off the coast. Never Let Me Go meets The Giver in this haunting debut about a cult on an isolated island, where nothing is as it seems.

I agree that art history should be first and foremost about art. The way Kimball pokes fun at the impenetrable language and the basic fallacies of the postmodern scholarship is priceless. lefty political causes and critics' overgrown egos. I loved the introduction where Kimball promised a discussion of how contemporary art scholarship subordinates art to misc.

This story is a detailed account of finding justice for Babette and Shane, and of one man’s perseverance to gain his freedom from death row. This heinous crime shattered the sense of security for Rolling Hills, destroyed two families, and forever scarred the town. The three-week trial was based on police corruption and ineptitude, fairytale theories, and forensic mishandling. With an investigation smeared with contradicting statements, and a botched crime scene, investigators built a flimsy case against Richard Lloyd. Within fourteen days, their mutilated torsos and severed heads and limbs were unearthed, suggesting satanic cult activity. 18 year old Babette, a voluptuous beauty contestant and horsewoman, and her 19 year old boyfriend Shane Shoemaker, a jealous and possessive unemployed printer, were last seen crossing a trestle bridge. What began as an evening stroll turned into what found only in horror films, and dubbed ‘the crime of the century’. Multiply suspects surfaced, but only one was railroaded, Richard Allan Lloyd, a known nudist and hothead. The residents of Rolling Hills, a hamlet in southeastern Ohio, were horrified when the dismembered bodies of two missing teens were pulled from the local river.
