The Way of the Living Ghost is a cautionary treatise. It is a work about being hollow and overfull, and about seeing "now" and "then" through darkened eyes. It is about hunger, need, loss, violence, and injustice. It is a meditation on paradox and inertia. All of these are hallmarks of ghosts, but the living ghost can change its fate. This enigmatic work by Dr Anderson combs through the Daodejing, line by line, in new translation giving robust commentary to the dark side of the Dao. It is a direct response to the pronounced current in Daoist literature which recognizes some form of "cultivated" or "perfected" person, but awards scant recognition of the "unwhole" or "imperfect" parts of a lived life. We invite you to delve into this work and explore the necromantic philosophy espoused herein and learn the ways of the living ghost. Featuring art by Bryan Paul Patterson and Joseph Uccello, and a foreword by Brandt Stickley.
Trapped in the London dungeons Jack is visited by something from the other side, offering him the vengeance he desires against his captors and those who have caused him harm. A Living Ghost follows the tale of this young boy’s tragic end and his transformation into a malevolent spirit. He becomes the poltergeist of the London dungeons and happily begins reaping his revenge upon those who wronged him. A Living Ghost is the second horror short in the “Descent into Darkness Series”, where we cower behind our ideals watching the good fall from grace and become submerged in the darkness of their own dark souls.
The true story of one woman's struggle to save her sons from radicalization by Chechen partisans, as told by a seasoned war reporter. In All Lara's Wars, the great events of the last half-century--the realignment of Eastern Europe after the fall of the Soviet Union, and the rise in the Middle East of ISIS and its quest for a new Caliphate--converge in this account of a Chechen-Georgian family whose two sons become radicalized, and how their mother--Lara--travels to Syria by bus and at great risk, not to join them but to bring them home. By then, the older son is a high level commander and the younger son a respected soldier in ISIS's army. The story is told with a sense of wonder at the contemporary world and all the ways it resembles a primitive and violent land where all struggles are to the death, and there is an epic battle going on between forces of good and evil that cannot be understood other than as mythic and larger than life. Lara is a Kist--one of a tiny ethnicity that crossed the Caucasus mountains a century ago to settle in the remote Pankisi Gorge in northern Georgia, a peaceful and isolated paradise. She married a Chechen, moved to Grozny, and became the mother of two sons. When war came to Chechnya, she took her children home to the safe Georgian valley, and later sent them to Western Europe to live with their father--to protect them from the influence of the radical Islamic freedom fighters who had come to the Pankisi Gorge as refugees from the Chechnyan wars. As in all of Wojciech Jagielski's books, he tells here the story of any modern war, how the individual lives of civilians and combatants are obliterated in the sweep of the larger narrative--and how the humanity of these individual lives is revealed, and the price paid in human endurance and persistence and loss. Jagielski observes, listening to Lara and letting her story emerge through the filter of his literary skill. This unusual reportage tells us the facts of the Chechnyan wars and the reality of the Syrian war from the viewpoint of ISIS recruits, but it is also the true account of one ordinary family that became part of the larger tragedy that has claimed so many victims in recent years.

50 years after the Vietnam War this soldier/father/hero is getting help with his PTSD through a modern invention. Explore seven years of recalled events from one of Vietnam's bloodiest battles at LZ Grant, horrific memories he now says are more manageable because of Social Media. Read the fascinating story today.The Living Ghosts as explained by Rick Griffith... "Social media is emerging as a mental medicine of sorts, a salve that soothes the soul; for many, it keeps the PTSD demons at bay. It's a new way of journaling, a tool the psychological community has long touted as a means of mental housekeeping. For some, it's a slick and easy way to chip away at the horrors of war so often locked up in the depths of one's brain.Think of your own family and friends who know the hideous nature of war firsthand. How often have you heard this phrase? "He can't talk about it." The old warriors know it as shell-shock. The younger ones call it PTSD. The brain is struggling to fit the multitude of hideous memories, sights, sounds, odors, pain, and suffering into some semblance of the old self. It has been 50 years since fun loving, ever smiling Del Mar beach boy Howard Fisher nearly bought the farm at LZ Grant (Vietnam). Not once in all that time did I ask him about his injuries or experiences in Viet Nam. Not once did I look AT his horribly disfigured face. One could not get past his eyes -- so brilliant, so full of life. His broad smile shone through as before albeit misshapen and without many teeth. Fisher once quipped to a film crew, "I always thought it would be sort of cool to have some sort of battle scar, just not there." Few people would be able to joke about losing their lower jaw. This speaks volumes of the man's spirit, his zest for life, his zeal to survive. Oddly, in all these years I was oblivious to his PTSD, and all that comes with it. I only learned of Fisher's psychological scars through his abundant, succinct social media postings."
