He took his suit jacket off long ago, leaving him in a pink – pink – dress shirt that looks surprisingly hot on him, with no tie and black slacks. “You don’t like me very much, do you?” He leans his tall, six foot four frame against the door and crosses his arms over his chest. ![]() “What the hell are you doing?” I ask him with an eyebrow raised. I try to make it into the ladies room ahead of him, but Will just follows me in and locks the door. In the middle of a conversation with Stacy I realize I’m beginning to feel a bit light headed, so I excuse myself and head to the bathroom to press a cold cloth on my forehead and refresh my lip gloss. Matt pours me another glass of wine and I immediately sip it, pushing my plate aside. Jules and her family’s gene pool is impressive. Isaac leans down and kisses his wife’s cheek and whispers something in her ear, making her grin. “It’s okay, guys, we still have about a month to go.” “So, if Stacy goes into labor, you can save the day,” Caleb suggests and we all giggle. “You’re young to have such an important job,” Will comments kindly, but I roll my eyes and ignore him, earning another glare from him. ![]() ![]() Matt fills my wine glass and offers me a kind smile and I find myself returning it. “I’ve been a nurse for about six years, in this position for two.” ![]()

![]() Many of the stories are told from a child's point of view. There's never a lecture, unwieldy dialog, or clunky narrative (an occupational hazard, I'm afraid, of the horror writer who envisions a separate reality only to falter when trying to describe it). Unifying elements: JH's control of the story is a combination of a beautifully light touch and an unflinching attention to whatever represents the horror in the work. It's not my place to say which JH does best I suspect that would come down to a reader's preference. There is something to be gained from reading a wide swath of an author's work in the form, IMHO.In JH's case, it's an appreciation of his astonishing range on the one hand and the consistency of the unifying elements on the other.Range: the book includes gross-out horror (no judgment intended, I just mean traditional gore), light-to-medium supernatural, and pure literary, as well as a couple of standards - the serial killer victim in the basement and the boys-at-play-discovering-something-awful-in-the-woods. Aside from multi-author anthologies, not too many short story collections are being pubbed these days, especially in genre. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

To find a more definite account of happiness, Aristotle argues from the human FUNCTION, the characteristic activity that is essential to a human being, in the same way as a purely nutritive life is essential to a plant, and a life guided by sense perception and desire is essential to an animal (see notes to i 7.§12–13). Happiness is the right starting point for an ethical theory because, in Aristotle’s view, rational agents necessarily choose and deliberate with a view to their ultimate good, which is happiness it is the ultimate end, since we want it for its own sake, and we want other things for its sake. ![]() In 323 Alexander died in the resulting outbreak of anti-Macedonian feeling in Athens, Aristotle left for Chalcis, on the island of Euboea (cf.

But picking a major is the last thing on Elliot’s mind when she’s too busy experiencing all that college has to offer-from dancing all night at off-campus parties to testing her RA Rose’s patience to making new friends to having the best sex one can have on a twin-size dorm-room bed.īut she may not be ready for the fallout when reality hits.

Nevada wrote and presented campfire stories, taught storytelling and was a travel writer and restaurant critic. Woven throughout these seemingly disparate careers was the written word. During this time she became interested in the environmental movement and began working in the National Parks during the summers - Isle Royale in Michigan, Guadalupe Mountains in Texas, Mesa Verde in Colorado, and then on the Natchez Trace Parkway in Mississippi. For eighteen years she worked on stage, in commercials, industrial training films and did voice-overs for radio. Pushed out of the nest, Nevada fell into the theatre, receiving her BA in speech and drama and her MFA in Acting before making the pilgrimage to New York City, then Minneapolis, MN. Both her parents were pilots and mechanics and her sister, Molly, continued the tradition by becoming a pilot for USAir. Nevada was born in the small western town of Yerington, Nevada and raised on a mountain airport in the Sierras. ![]() |
