Fantasy comes in all shades, from gentle tales of elves and fairies, to the blackest of horrors. Subterranean: Tales of Dark Fantasy tends toward the darker edges, where the fantastic mixes with the horrific. With all original tales by a number of SubPress favorites, and writers new to our stable, we ve aimed to illuminate these shadowed corners, to bring into the light the creatures that venture forth from the sea, those that alter our reality to suit their sinister needs, and others who head into territory so bleak it s best left undescribed. ...

Product Description
In the field of science fiction, the work of Philip K Dick is unparalleled. His novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? became the classic science-fiction film Blade Runner. His short story, "The Minority Report," was recently adapted for the screen by Stephen Spielberg and stars Tom Cruise. Dick’s appeal and influence has reached the world over, creating the standard for the literary science fiction novel.

In November of 1982, six months before the author's death, journalist Gwen Lee recorded the first of several in-depth discussions with Philip K. Dick that continued over the course over the next three months. These extraordinary interviews are filled with the wit and aplomb characteristic of Dick's writing, helping make What If Our World Is Their Heaven? not only an engaging read, but a unique and compelling historical document. It will be a must read for anyone interested in the field of science fiction. ... Read more

A look at the scenes - not behind
A comfortably disorienting walk with a old friend.
When I 1st was introduced to P.K.D. in the mid 70's It came, like so much of my life during that time, from one I admired, trusted and learned ao much from. "Ever read Phillip K. Dick?", he asked seiing that I was looking for my next book. "No.", I said, takimg the book.
Even though I was a reader from an age not old enough for school yet, and though sci-fi was my subject of choice most often the author was new to me. I can't recall the title of the novel but if my memory is not as shot as some tell me it is, the story was 'different' to say the least.
Today "different' is the highest compliment I give to art, music and stories. I remember Sister Dominic answering this 3rd grader's question (somwthing most nun's had come to dread or ignore) about the difference between creating and making something. Always to the point, she told me "men make things. Only God can create a thing/ Things are made from other things. Creations come to be from nothing." It was probably the only reply from the catholic school I have come to hold as 'gospel'.
the worlds P.K.D. created were as origional, complex, mysteries luring the reader into an almost overwhelming existence.
This book is time spent with the creator and the interviewer asking questios and soliciting reflection on things we, had we been there, would have asked.
If you're a P.K.D. reader then you want to read this.

Astoundingly little content for the price
PKD is fascinating as always, but at $17 I expect a lot more than 20 pages worth of content clumsily spread across 200 pages via narrow paper, wide margins, huge type, blank pages and double-spacing.This is a magazine article pretending to be a book!For your best bang-for-buck PKD insights, save your pennies for Sutin's excellent Divine Invasions.

PHILIP K. DICK Lives On
Was it chance or fate that led Gwen Lee to record these last words of PKD?
Whatever, this book is a must read for anyone who wants to probe the depths of the PKD spirit.Here Dick laid out the plotline and central character, Ed Firmley, for his next great novel, THE OWL IN DAYLIGHT.Who needs more of it actually written?Any reader can fill in the blanks.Dick was taking the next giant step to solving the puzzle of man's existence here on earth.By positing the existence of this Nanoman race from a planet without music or sound, Dick set up the premise for another brilliant novel.

The very notion that an other world Nanoman, could implant himself via biochip into Ed Firmley's brain is ground breaking.That this would transform this hack musician into a Beethoven like composer is a light year ahead of man's current understanding of himself.What a gas that Firmley would then make the choice to allow himself to implanted into the brain of this celestial Entity.Yes, Firmley did have to exchange this puny earthly existence for a world constructed from rainbow colors.But to him it was like dying and going to heaven. ...

Chapters: The Anubis Gates, the Stress of Her Regard, the Drawing of the Dark, on Stranger Tides, Declare, Expiration Date, Three Days to Never, Last Call. Source: Wikipedia. Free updates online. Not illustrated. Excerpt: The Anubis Gates (1983) is a time travel fantasy novel by Tim Powers. It won the 1983 Philip K. Dick Award and 1984 Science Fiction Chronicle Award. In 1801 the British have risen to power in Egypt and suppress the worship of the old Egyptian gods. A cabal of magicians plan to drive the British out of Egypt by bringing the gods forward in time from an age when they were still powerful and unleashing them on London, thereby destroying the British Empire. In 1802, a failed attempt by the magicians to summon Anubis opens magical gates in a predictable pattern across time and space. In 1983, ailing millionaire J. Cochran Darrow has discovered the gates and found that they make time travel possible. Darrow organizes a trip to the past for fellow millionaires to attend a lecture by Samuel Taylor Coleridge in 1810. He hires Professor Brendan Doyle to attend and give expert commentary. One of the magicians, Doctor Romany, happens to spy the time travelers and kidnaps Doyle before he can return. Doyle manages to escape torture and flees back to London, now trapped in the 19th century. Doyle joins a beggars guild and meets a beggar named Jacky. He plans to meet and befriend William Ashbless, a wealthy poet that Doyle has studied profusely, in order to gain a benefactor. Doctor Romany scours the city for Doyle with his legion of murderous beggars, led by the clown-magician Horrabin. At the same time, Doyle discovers that Darrow has remained in the 19th century to search for Dog-Face Joe, a body-swapping werewolf, in hopes of bribing Joe into granting h...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=628308 ...

Product Description
Our bodies are important to God. They're important because, with them, we carry out our mission assignments to further the purposes of his kingdom.

With a mission to help readers become fit to serve God and each other, Coach Tim Powers asks the question directly: Are you, right now, committed to doing everything you can to achieve physical and spiritual fitness for the rest of your life? This book, a road map for the process, gives sound instruction on workout basics, body composition, nutrition, and advanced training. Perfect for those just getting started or even experienced athletes, Fit to Serve encourages obedience to God in every step along the way.

"Coach Tim Powers deserves the name Coach. In a matter of five weeks, he proved to me that he could take someone who had just gone through surgery (a knee replacement and all the problems that follow) and prepare that person (me) to go to the Antarctic....Before Coach Powers started working with me, I could never have made such an arduous journey."
Loren Cunningham, Founder of Youth With A Mission International; President of University of the Nations

"Coach Powers has made a big impact on me. His ability to inspire and motivate is amazing. His knowledge of how we are made and how we can best take care of our bodies is of enormous value for anyone who wants to make the most of their life. I recommend Coach Powers and his training without reservation!"
Lynn Green, International Chairman, Youth With A Mission ... Read more

What's new in Fitness?
Having been a cross training, endurance athlete for many years, I wondered what Coach Powers could teach me in his new book. I was pleasantly surprised with the thorough yet straight-forward overview of all aspects of fitness, including strength training, elasticity, periodization/planning/goal setting, nutrition, cardio, interval training, body awareness...but what really made this book standout,and truly separate the book from other fitness media, was Coach's centering fitness in your faith...thanking God for your body and involving him in your fitness. I would suggest the book for anyone who needs a larger purpose for their fitness, especially if secular motivators have not strengthened and sustained you. mwb ... Read more
