Alcasan that hideous strength5/27/2023 ![]() ![]() Lewis, however, had a deeper meaning for writing him into the story. It is tempting to merely see him as a coincidentally present, powerful being who can turn the tide of the war. The significance of including the sorcerer Merlin in this story is intentional on the part of Lewis. The fact that Alcasan is only a head, without any powers to move or enact any actions, also implies that evil has no power to harm God's people. This twisted, unnatural, horrifying head causes disgust in its observers it is a symbol of the true nature of evil - reviling, power-hungry, and despicable. He is now controlled, it seems, by some demon, most likely Satan himself. is led and controlled by the leadership of the disembodied head of Alcasan, a recently executed French scientist who has been resurrected by dark means. ![]() ![]() We are thankful for their contributions and encourage you to make your own.

The organization hosts a mobile clinic on the last Friday of every month at the Elmira Lions Hall, which Leyva said is key for helping supply keep up with demand. ![]() They’re not paid to do so, so it’s very critical and so important that people donate,” Leyva said. “It’s important that people donate because…we rely 100 per cent solely on people volunteering to donate blood. A lot of times, for example, if someone has cancer…those cancer patients can require up to 10 units of blood each week during treatment, so that’s 10 different people rolling up their sleeves to donate blood,” said territory manager Gina Leyva. “Every time you donate blood, you’re literally the direct connection to saving someone’s life. Now, it’s stressing the importance of being a donor. One organization looking forward to something like normal is Canadian Blood Services, which struggled to keep up with demand through the pandemic. ![]() The mercies hargrave5/27/2023 ![]() To Absalom, the lethal storm seems suspiciously supernatural and the customs of the local Laplanders-Sámi people-an abomination. ![]() She forms a fast, unlikely bond with Maren. ![]() He brings a bewildered new wife, Ursa, a young city woman, ignorant of her husband’s history. News reaches the authorities, who send first a preacher, then someone more sinister, Scotsman Absalom Cornet, who has already executed a woman for witchery. They butcher reindeer and, after much dissention, split over the radical step of going to sea to fish for themselves. The women winch the men’s corpses off the rocks, up the cliffs, and store them in a boathouse the ground is far too frozen to breach. “All about her, other mothers, sisters, daughters are throwing themselves at the weather: dark, rain-slick shapes, clumsy as seals.” Forty men drown in the Christmas Eve storm, leaving their Norwegian womenfolk in a treeless village, sunk in winter darkness. Maren, 20, has run to the harbor as her father, brother, and fiance founder in boats at sea.

The Hobbit, Part One by J.R.R. Tolkien5/27/2023 ![]() ![]() The older hobbit, played with maundering geniality by Ian Holm is presented to us then it's back in time to meet our unlikely hero, the gentle Bilbo Baggins, younger but still a somewhat donnish, bookish bachelor figure like Tolkien and CS Lewis. We approach the drama via its mythic setup: the terrifying dragon Smaug appropriates the Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor. Indoors though, it's not quite the same story. ![]() The HFR style has immediacy and glitter, particularly in the outdoor locations, where the New Zealand landscapes, in all their splendour, are revealed more sharply and clearly, and there is an almost documentary realism to the fable. But I had the weird, residual sense that I was watching an exceptionally expensive, imaginative and starry BBC Television drama production, the sort that goes out on Christmas Day, with 10 pages of coverage in the seasonal Radio Times, and perhaps a break in the middle for the Queen's Speech. There can be no doubt that Jackson has made The Hobbit with brio and fun, and Martin Freeman is just right as Bilbo Baggins: he plays it with understatement and charm.

Why 27 writers decided to bare (almost) all I’d always avoided writing about sex because it’s really hard to write about well. ![]() “I could have followed the same template and had a career writing detective novels over and over again, but that’s not what I want to do with my life. “I think, as a writer, it’s a good idea to challenge yourself and do what you haven’t done before,” she said. ![]() For Gran, the choice to make sex a major aspect of the story was very intentional. As the intensity of the rituals escalates, so do the stakes for the participants - with unexpected consequences. The book that Lily seeks outlines a series of spells that must be completed by a pair of willing partners. What distinguishes “The Book of the Most Precious Substance” from Gran’s other novels is lots and lots of sex. It’s still this primary story for me, that one day, I will find a book and everything will make sense.” ![]() “I don’t know where I got this idea that if you just find the right book, everything will change,” Gran said, “but it’s one of those things that I can’t shake, no matter how many times it fails to happen in real life and no matter how many times I write about it.
