Fear's Accomplice (Volume 1)

James S. Coleman

This volume discusses the relationship between the Rockefeller Foundation, a private philanthropic organization in the USA, and 15 universities in 12 developing countries throughout a 20-year period. Split into four parts, it describes the formation of the Rockefeller Foundation Program and the dimensions to be examined. It then presents case studies, and looks at the process of institution building and the critical issues of university development in the Third World. Finally, it attempts to draw some conclusions about the process of university development from the specific Foundation experience.

The crisp autumn air calls to me, you know?Reminds me of chilly October nights, dancing lights behind leering pumpkin grins lined the streets as I ran about with friends. Dressed as ghouls and ghosts, we extorted neighbors for candy and raced about as my father chaperoned.By the end of the night, we'd be in our driveway with our haul of ill-gotten gains. Encircling a campfire, my father would start up my favorite tradition - telling scary stories.A tradition I hold sacred to this day, as do the other authors within this terrible tome.Follow along as we traverse a forest seemingly haunted by the ravenous specters of winters' past, through a harrowing EMT call that ends far grislier than one could ever fear, into the terrors a loving couple face when braving what should be familiar. With a final stop in a surreal dreamscape where fantasy and terror blend into one horrid and all-encompassing wave, you will have read four novella length pieces from four professional horror authors, allowing you to partake in their idea of what is both terrifying and intriguing enough to gather the attention of a thrill seeker.The whole journey will be split between tales by the ever lovely Chelsea Grinn, our host and narrator for this festive holiday storytelling. Endearingly insane, Chelsea has promised an in-depth look into the minds of the authors after each tale, in order for the reader to further understand some of what went into the story they just enjoyed.So, do as I did as a child and grab a soda and a fistful of candy, quiet down and take heed, for I have a few tales to tell this fine Hallow's Eve...

Caped

Across thirty disquieting stories, we'll encounter such tales as, "Sovereign's Last Hurrah," featuring a team of retired super-powered villains embarking on one last caper with their legendary super-hero rival. "A Comedian Walks into a Bar," in which a hungry and ambitious amateur learns that the fabled secret of comedy may come attoo high a cost. "83," where the interview for a dream job becomes a nightmare, and "In Vino Veritas, In Vino Mors," where a dying wine collector takes part in a very special tasting session, courtesy of a very special visitor. You'll encounter possessed little fingers, magic swords, sanity-defying factories, stranded astronauts, lovecraftian librarians, virulent plagues, and pork scratchings ... all with a twist in the tale, courtesy of the equally twisted mind of David Court.

Scenes of Mild Peril

Humans have achieved the seemingly impossible - faster than light travel. Despite discovering hundreds and hundreds of planets that once contained intelligent life, not a single planet has been found where that life still remains. All these planets have one thing in common - the civilizations have been wiped out, either by accident or by design. Linda is an Astroarchaeologist and her job is to find these dead civilizations and learn from them, so humans avoid the same fate. Jemm-r is a time traveller, part of a group whose mission is to reduce human suffering. Common belief is that any small changes in history would adhere to the Chaos theory, with massive differences down the line. The actual mathematics behind it show this is not the case. Incredibly, a few hundred years later, almost no difference appears in the timelines. With this knowledge, Jemm-r's team's mission is to travel in time and do minimal alterations to reduce human suffering throughout history. It is a truly noble profession. Or is it?

Way back in the distant mists of February 2020, we began to hear reports of a deadly virus that originated in China. But this new virus soon ripped its path through the world, like an invading hoarde, killing without prejudice until it finally found its way to our door. This book is inspired by our experiences of the UK lockdown, and how we might navigate the new, post-covid world. Is this the beginning of the end, or just the end of the beginning? Join us for a trip down Corona-Nation Street, with stories and poetry that are horrifying, haunting, hilarious, horny, heartfelt and hopeful. All proceeds from the sale of this book will go to the NHS.
