Free Download Blown to Hell in a "Fountain of Horror" at the Crater on July 30, 1864 by Phillip Thomas Tucker

On July 30, 1864, the struggle for the Crater at Petersburg, Virginia, was one of the bloodiest clashes of the Civil War. One of the most forgotten reasons that explained why thousands of Federals were unable to charge through the Crater and gain their strategic objectives to capture Petersburg was because of the remarkable defense of General Stephen Elliott and his South Carolina Brigade, despite having lost hundreds of men in the great mine explosion of 4 tons of black powder that had been placed under Elliott’s Salient. Quite simply, the South Carolinians saved the day and Petersburg, although General Elliott, who even led a counterattack to thwart the Federals, was mortally wounded, although he would not die until shortly after the Civil War. This is a remarkable story not previously told in full by generations of Civil War historians.

Free Download Julia Kristeva, "Powers of Horror: An Essay on Abjection "
English | ISBN: 023121457X | 2024 | 248 pages | PDF | 942 KB
In Powers of Horror, Julia Kristeva offers an extensive and profound consideration of the nature of abjection. Drawing on Freud and Lacan, she analyzes the nature of attitudes toward repulsive subjects and examines the function of these topics in the writings of Louis-Ferdinand Céline, Marcel Proust, James Joyce, and other authors. Kristeva identifies the abject with the eruption of the real and the presence of death. She explores how art and religion each offer ways of purifying the abject, arguing that amid abjection, boundaries between subject and object break down.

From Bram Stoker Award‑nominated author Craig DiLouie comes a darkly humorous horror novel that sees a famous 80s slasher director set out to shoot the most terrifying horror movie ever made using an occult camera that might be (and probably is) demonic.
Horror isn’t horror unless it’s real.
Max Maurey should be on top of the world. He’s a famous horror director. Actors love him. Hollywood needs him. He’s making money hand over fist. But it’s the 80s, and he’s directing cheap slashers for audiences who only crave more blood, not real art. Not real horror. And Max’s slimy producer refuses to fund any of his new ideas.
