| deadman's curse history: The Curse of the Dead Man's Diamond Christyne Morrell, 2024-09-17 In this middle-grade mystery, eleven year old Charlie moves from NYC to Florida only to find herself in the haunted Winklevoss Manor. To her surprise, she's not alone—she's joined by three mischievous ghosts cursed for snatching a dead man's diamond. After twelve-year-old Charlie moves from New York City to sweaty, sticky Florida, she’ll do anything to get back home. Even if it involves ghosts. Winklevoss Manor, Charlie’s new house, is a towering Victorian mansion famous for one thing—it’s haunted. Three ghosts—Ada, Arthur, and Guff—live there, and not by choice. They’re trapped, cursed for stealing a dead man’s diamond. A diamond that, just like the ghosts, is still in the house. And this gets Charlie thinking. . . Maybe if she can find the diamond and sell it, Charlie’s family could have enough money to move back to the city. But lifting the curse isn’t that simple, especially when she’s pitted against the school bully and three unruly spirits. It’s frightening to think about, but what if the only way to get rid of the ghosts and curses is by doing what Charlie fears the most—confronting the past that haunts her? |

| deadman's curse history: History of the Literary Cultures of East-Central Europe Marcel Cornis-Pope, John Neubauer, 2004-05-28 National literary histories based on internally homogeneous native traditions have significantly contributed to the construction of national identities, especially in multicultural East-Central Europe, the region between the German and Russian hegemonic cultural powers stretching from the Baltic states to the Balkans. History of the Literary Cultures of East-Central Europe, which covers the last two hundred years, reconceptualizes these literary traditions by de-emphasizing the national myths and by highlighting analogies and points of contact, as well as hybrid and marginal phenomena that traditional national histories have ignored or deliberately suppressed. The four volumes of the History configure the literatures from five angles: (1) key political events, (2) literary periods and genres, (3) cities and regions, (4) literary institutions, and (5) real and imaginary figures. The first volume, which includes the first two of these dimensions, is a collaborative effort of more than fifty contributors from Eastern and Western Europe, the US, and Canada.The four volumes of the History comprise the first volume in the new subseries on Literary Cultures. |

| deadman's curse history: Deadman's Cross Sherrilyn Kenyon, 2024-04-16 This ebundle of the Deadman's Cross series includes: Deadmen Walking, Death Doesn't Bargain, and At Death's Door. “Kenyon puts the lie to the old adage ‘dead men tell no tales’ in the jam-packed, appealing first book of her Deadman’s Cross historical fantasy series.”—Publishers Weekly (on Deadmen Walking) From Sherrilyn Kenyon, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Dark-Hunters series, the Deadman’s Cross novels chronicle the war between the demons bent on humanity’s destruction and the deadmen resurrected to stop them. And as these forces of darkness clash, every soldier’s soul is damned or redeemed by the choices they make. Deadmen Walking — To catch evil, it takes evil. Enter Devyl Bane– an ancient dark warlord returned to the human realm as one of the most notorious pirates in the New World. A man of many secrets, Bane makes a pact with Thorn– an immortal charged with securing the worst creations the ancient gods ever released into our world. However, the ship they sail on, the Sea Witch isn’t just a vessel; she’s also a woman born of an ancient people he wronged and who in turn wronged him during a centuries long war between their two races— a woman who is also sister to their primary target. Death Doesn't Bargain — The Deadmen are back, but so are the demons who have broken free of their eternal prison and are bent on mankind’s destruction. The worst of the lot is Vine, determined to claim their lives for taking hers. She will see the world burn...and has the perfect lure to destroy them all. One of their own. Kalder Dupree has never known a day of mercy. Born to the cruelest of mer-races, he sacrificed himself for his crew and is in Vine’s hands. Yet Cameron Jack is determined to set Kalder free. To defeat evil, it sometimes takes an even worse evil, and Cameron is willing to do whatever she must to make this right. At Death's Door — Valynda Moore was born cursed. So when she dies as the result of a spell gone wrong and is trapped in the body of a voodoo doll, she expects nothing else from her messed up life. Until Thorn, leader of the Hellchasers, offers her a chance at redemption and a new life. But nothing has ever gone her way, for the Malachai, the very beast she and her crew of Deadmen have sworn to keep locked away, has risen. And this time he’s taken prisoners. Valynda must keep her wits about her or be denied her salvation and forced to watch as the entire world falls into the hands of absolute evil.

| deadman's curse history: The Deadman Deck Robin Herbert, 2024-02-26 Thomas Halyard created four decks of Tarot cards and put a curse on each. The curse attaches to anyone who owns a pack. An innocent school boy becomes owner of one of these packs, the Deadman Deck. He is told by the unhelpful and seemingly unsympathetic Magi, the witches and wizards of Australia, that he will die soon and that he should make the most of his time. But his fate is worse than they think and may end up destroying them all. He befriends a teenage witch and wizard who are battling the evil witch, Mary, who is terrorising his classmates. But he finds himself drawn to their enemy, who is tired of the war and wishes only to surrender and live out her life, stripped of the magical powers, as an ordinary human being. He takes it on himself to help broker the deal for her surrender. But when the Magi sabotage the deal he must decide whose side he is on. This is the second book in The Four Curses of Thomas Halyard. Content warning: descriptions of strong violence. |
| deadman's curse history: Poems of American History Various , 2015-01-26 Example in this ebook The poetry relating to American history falls naturally into two classes: that written, so to speak, from the inside, on the spot, and that written from the outside, long afterwards. Of the first class, The Star-Spangled Banner is the most famous example, as well as perhaps the best. Even at this distant day, reading it with a knowledge of the circumstances which produced it, it has a power of touching the heart and gripping the imagination which goes far toward proving the genuineness of its art. Of the second class, Paul Revere's Ride is probably the most widely known, though Mr. Longfellow's own Ballad of the French Fleet is a better poem. It is evident that, in compiling an anthology such as this, different standards must be used in judging these two classes. The first, aside from any quality as poetry which it may have, is of value because of its historical or political interest, because it is an expression and an interpretation of the hour which gave it birth. With it, poetic merit is not the first consideration, which is, perhaps, as well. Yet, however slight their merit as poetry may be, many of the early ballads possess an admirable energy, directness, and aptness of phrase, and there is about them a childlike simplicity impossible of reproduction in this sophisticated age—as where Stephen Tilden, in his epitaph on Braddock, requests the great commanders who have preceded that unfortunate soldier to the grave to Edge close and give him room. With the retrospective ballad, on the other hand, poetic merit is a sine qua non. It has little value historically, however accurate its facts. It differs from the contemporary ballad in the same way that the New Canterbury Tales differ from Froissart; or as the Idylls of the King differ from Le Morte Arthur. It is less authentic, less convincing, less vital. It may have atmosphere, but there is no infallible way of telling whether the atmosphere is right. Unless it is something more, then, than mere metrical history, the modern ballad has little claim to consideration. These are the two principles which the present compiler has had constantly in mind. Yet the second principle has been violated more than once, since, in a collection such as this, one must cut one's coat according to the cloth; or, rather, one must make sure that one is decently covered, though the covering may here and there be somewhat inferior in quality. So it has been necessary, in order to keep the thread of history unbroken, to admit some strands anything but silken; and if the choice has sometimes been of ills, rather than of goods, the compiler can only hope that he chose wisely. The most difficult and trying portion of his task has been, not to get his material together, but to compress it into reasonable limits. Especially in the colonial period was the temptation great to include more early American verse. Peter Folger's A Looking-Glass for the Times, Benjamin Tompson's New England's Crisis, Michael Wigglesworth's God's Controversy with New England, the Sot-Weed Factor, and many others, which it is recalling an old sorrow to name here, were excluded only after long and bitter debate. No doubt other exclusions will be noticed by nearly every reader of the volume—and it may interest him to know that the material gathered together would have made four such books as this.

| deadman's curse history: Bringing History to Life through Film Kathryn Anne Morey, 2013-12-12 Whether re-creating an actual event or simply being set in a bygone era, films have long taken liberties with the truth. While some members of the audience can appreciate a movie without being distracted by historical inaccuracies, other viewers are more discerning. From revered classics like Gone with the Wind to recent award winners like Argo, Hollywood films often are taken to task for their loose adherence to the facts. But what obligation do filmmakers have to the truth when trying to create a two-hour piece of entertainment? In Bringing History to Life through Film: The Art of Cinematic Storytelling, Kathryn Anne Morey brings together essays that explore the controversial issue of film as a purveyor of history. Examining a range of films, including highly regarded features like The Last of the Mohicans and Pan’s Labyrinth, as well as blockbuster franchises like Pirates of the Caribbean, chapters demonstrate that the debate surrounding the role of history on film is still as raw as ever. Organized in five sections, these essays discuss the myths and realities of history as they are portrayed on film, from “Nostalgic Utopias” to “Myths and Fairy Tales.” The fourteen chapters shed light on how films both convey and distort historical realities to capture the “essence” of the past rather than the past itself. Ultimately, they consider what role cinema plays as the quintessential historical storyteller. In addition to cinema and media studies, this book will appeal to scholars of history and fans of a wide range of cinematic genres. |

| deadman's curse history: New Sources of Indian History, 1850–1891 Stanley Vestal, 2015-07-15 More than a century has passed since that winter morning in 1890 when the Indian police killed Sitting Bull and destroyed the power of his great Sioux Nation. Yet only recently were the facts about Sitting Bull and the Sioux being sifted from the fables that have grown up in the interim. In New Sources of Indian History, Stanley Vestal traced scores of historical threads, obtained firsthand, which helped reveal the fabric of Sioux life, warfare, and relations with the whites from 1850 to 1891. This miscellany brings together the many phases of existence the Sioux knew when buffalo still roamed the shores of the Missouri, cultural aspects they lost when Indian agencies and military posts replaced the council fire. More than a series of episodes hung on the thread of time, this book portrays a many-colored pattern of American Indian personalities—from Sitting Bull, the leader of a mighty warrior society, to Black Bull, the Indian trickster, who would have sold Sioux lands to whites by the pound. For readers of Vestal’s Sitting Bull (1932) this volume presents proof of the facts set forth in that remarkable biography. |
| deadman's curse history: The Rame Head Deck Robin Herbert, 2024-03-21 We had never been on the side of good. In the battle between Good and Evil, Good simply hadn't shown up, or if it had, it turned up too late and without a plan and slunk off, seeing how dangerous things had become. But we did feel that our brand of evil was a better option than Thomas Halyard's. That was the day of Morgan's ninth birthday and the day when the epic battle between Evil and Not-So-Evil began. Thomas Halyard has taken control of the world and nobody seems to mind much. His rule is good and just because there is no good but the good of Thomas Halyard and no evil but for disobedience to Thomas Halyard. He is beginning to remake the world in his own image. Now the Magi who were his loyal lieutenants, Malcolm, Cyril and Serena, who helped him take control, find they must lead the resistance and thwart his evil plans for his granddaughter, Morgan. They must struggle with the contradictions between their evil natures and the love they feel that compels them to do good. And what is the secret of Thomas Halyard's last cursed deck, the Rame Head Deck? |

| deadman's curse history: The Saga of Billy the Kid Walter Noble Burns, 1999 First published in 1926, this entertaining and dramatic biography forever installed outlaw Billy the Kid in the pantheon of mythic heroes from the Old West and is still considered the single most influential portrait of Billy in this century. Saga focuses on the Kid's life and experiences in the bloody war between the Murphy-Dolan and Tunstall-McSween gangs in and around Lincoln, New Mexico, between 1878 and 1881. Burns paints the Kid as a boyish Robin Hood or romantic knight galvanized into a life of crime and killing by the war's violence and bloodshed. Billy represented the romantic and anarchic Old West that the march of civilization was rapidly displacing. His destroyer was Pat Garrett, the courageous sheriff of Lincoln County. Garrett's shooting of Billy in 1881 hastened the closing of the American frontier. Walter Noble Burns's Saga of Billy the Kid kindled a fascination in Billy the Kid that survives to this day. Richard W. Etulain's foreword discusses the singular importance of Saga in the historical literature on Billy the Kid and the Lincoln County War. |
| deadman's curse history: Slumach's Gold Rick Antonson, Brian Antonson, Mary Trainer, 2007 Slumach's Gold chronicles what is possibly Canada's greatest lost-mine story. It searches out the truth behind a Salish man's hanging for murder in 1891 and tracks the intriguing legend about him that grew after his death. It was a legend that turned into a drama of international fascination when Slumach--the hanged criminal--was mysteriously linked to gold nuggets the size of walnuts. The stories claimed that Slumach had placed a curse on a hidden motherlode to protect it from interlopers and trespassers just before he plunged to his death at the wrong end of a five-strand rope. Although many have attempted to find Slumach's gold over the past 100 years, following tantalizing clues that are part of the legend itself, none have succeeded--or have they? Rick Antonson, Mary Trainer and Brian Antonson have diligently sifted through history and myth, separating fact from fiction, but leaving the legend intact--along with the promise of gold yet to be found by some future gold seeker. |
