From Reader Review Poets in Hell for online ebook Brian Bigelow says If you end up in hell, and there is a poetry reading, make sure you come up with the worst poem you can. Quality of your verse doesn't matter it's pretty obvious. In fact, quite reverse is what is rewarded if you want to call it a reward for your efforts. Yes, I enjoyed this greatly and look forward to reading more of the series when I get a chance. Joe Bonadonna says Having contributed 2 stories to Poets in Hell, I do not feel right about reviewing this 17th volume in the classic Heroes in Hell shared-universe series. And I suppose I can't post this without giving the book some kind of star rating. So forgive me if I give it a good rating, because the writers assembled for this volume are top-notch, and I am honored to be a part of this edition. If I may, I'd like to tell you a little about this 2014 volume in the Heroes in Hell series, and my part in this grand project. First, writing for Heroes in Hell is hard work: one needs to do a lot of research, because most of the characters in this Miltonian shared-universe are historical figures, figures of myth and legend, Biblical figures, and even some famous fictional characters - provided some link to an actual person can be found, such as the Dracula and Vlad Tepes connection. Now, the second thing about writing for Hell is that it made me "up my game." The series is not only character-driven, it is allegorical, dramatic, poignant, high comedy and grim tragedy; it runs the gamut of genres and emotions. I was playing in the same park with some damned fine writers of imaginative literature, and something in the infernal nature of Hell demands and commands a writer to do the best he can, to go above and beyond what he/she has done before. Hell is addictive. It's an obsession. Hell has its rules, but what the rules do is force you to be more creative, to think outside the box: the rules are not restrictive, they are liberating. Once you pick your characters and start your research, you find things, you learn things you can use to make those characters live and breathe and jump off the page. Yeah, writing for Hell is hard work, but it's also one helluva good time. I love every moment I spend in Hell - and I spend a lot of time there. Now, let me give you a brief run-down on each story in Poets Hell. Author and jazz musician Chris Morris gets the ball rolling with his story, "Words," in which the first Bible writer drafts a deal with the Devil that saves some skins from deeper damnation. Next up, Janet Morris and Chris Morris team up for "Seven Against Hell," wherein Odysseus calls on Diomedes and friends to save his skin as Sappho and Homer sing their glory. Meanwhile, Shakespeare and Christopher Marlowe find out that the play isn't always the thing, proving for all eternity that Hell is more than just a frame of mind. The Blind Bard and the Bard of Avon discover that heroism is more than skin deep. In "Reunion," by Nancy Asire, Attila the Hun faces a thousand cuts of sibling rivalry at its most hellish. Then Bruce Durham gives us "Hell-hounds," wherein Marconi, Bell and Antonio Meucci become prey to a pack of four legged, deadly denizens of hell as they run cable TV to the Pandemonium Theatre. Will they survive? And could the arrival of Snorri Sturluson and one yarn-spinning, sword-swinging Robert E. Howard turn the tide? PDF File: Poets in Hell... 3 Read and Download Ebook Poets in Hell... Along comes Jack William Finley with "The Kid with No Name," who learns that fame can be hard to come by in perdition and Dorothy Parker is reminded that pride is still a sin, even in Hell. "All Hell to Pay" is Deborah Koren's story where Bat Masterson and Wyatt Earp get their unjust deserts. Larry Atchley Jr's "Poetic Injustice" has Samuel Taylor Coleridge searching for the missing lines to his poem, Kubla Khan, and performing at a poetry slam with William Blake and Ragnar Loddbrok, where they must answer for their sins. Meanwhile, Guy Fawkes looks for answers about who was really behind the failed assault on heaven and if there can be salvation for any of the damned in hell. Next up is "When You Gaze into an Abyss," Matthew Kirshenblatt's tale of Lilith, the first wife of Adam, who pines to escape the confines of Hell while Friedrich Nietzsche stares into the abyss... and decides that he has had enough. In Tom Barczak's "Pride and Penance," the Jabberwocky gets a taste for hell's damnedest architects. The author who calls himself 'pdmac' hits a "Grand Slam" when Anne Sexton and Li Po, China's greatest poet, share judging duties with Camus and Sartre and learn the true meaning of a poetry slam. Then here comes Yelle Hughes' "Red Tail's Corner," wherein Dionysus, the god of wine and madness, along with the riddle-loving Sphinx of Greece, finds out that Satan loves poetry, but Erra and the Seven Sibitti do not. Richard Groller follows through with "Faust III," in which Johann Wolfgang von Goethe completes his poetic Magnum Opus in Hell, with the opening day of the play drawing the attention and ire of His Satanic Majesty himself. And then Bill Snider records the fun with his "Tapestry of Sorrows and Sighs," wherein Caliban joins the poetry show, and Sycorax has to know, where did her baby go? All the while Fionn and Merlin play their games in the shadows. My collaboration with Shebat Legion, "Undertaker's Holiday," reveals that even Hell's Undertaker needs a holiday from the Mortuary, as David Koresh, Reverend Jim Jones, Ovid, Percy Bysshe Shelley, and the 'Fellowship of the Thing' soon find out. Next, Beth W. Patterson presents "Haiku d'Etat," where Robert Burns and Stephen Foster, stuck with one another for eternity, cultivate their prickly friendship in the treacherous Bayou d'Enfer until a hellicane demolishes their home. The eye of the storm transports the duo to a different dimension: the Shinto underworld of Yomi. There they meet the acid-tongued Matsuo Basho, whose speech may yield clues for an escape. Bill Barnhill follows with "A Mother's Heart," telling us how Plato and Lilith try to save Hell's Atlantis from a second dunking with the help of a giant squirrel. In my solo effort, "We the Furious," His Satanic Majesty sends Mary Shelley and Mob hitman Johnny Fortune to unionize the Uncubi, who are the unpublished poets and authors in Hell. But first they must save Galatea, Victor Frankenstein and his infamous Monster from a vampire-like Lemuel Gulliver, who is using the Uncubi to help him overthrow Satan. "Damned Poets Society" is Michael H. Hanson's offering: Baudelaire, Poe, Frost, and other dead masters of verse join together for Hell's greatest public recitation. The poets slam the afterlife but are slammed in return by the greatest poetry critic of them all, Satan himself. Now we're near the finish line with Michael A.

  • {PDF EPUB} the Sacred Band by Janet E. Morris from the EYES OF…JANET E
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} The Sacred Band by Janet E. Morris FROM THE EYES OF…JANET E. MORRIS, SOMETHING TO SAY, BECAME A WRITER. Janet E. Morris had something to say…you know, use her mouth, verbiage, volume, lips moving. So, she ended up…taking up the pen and keyboard. “I never meant to become a writer, but I had things I wanted to say, contributions to make to the way my society was evolving,” Morris said. “I wrote my first novel during the 1970s, when women’s roles in society were being questioned. We who had come of age in the 1960s under constant threat of nuclear annihilation were questioning abuses of power. I sold the first draft of the first novel I ever wrote to Perry Knowlton, the first agent I ever met – High Couch of Silistra, Bantam, 1977 – and with him sold many more books until I left writing and editing for twenty years to institutionalize Non-lethality and the nonlethal weapons program.” That’s pretty intense stuff for a woman who has grown into roles as an author and even more so as an editor. She notes her editing work in the Heroes in Hell series. “There I was commissioned and edited two Nebula -nominated and a Hugo Award -winning stories. With Chris Morris, I have recently created Perseid Publishing, a small publishing house specializing in books ‘for the experienced reader.’” Janet Morris works as a writer, author, and editor for Perseid. Despite all the hats she wears, Morris finds time to write and when she does so it is with tremendous verve.
