PN - 277 - Bethany's Sin by Robert R. McCammon

May 27, 2020 / in Horror, Mythology, Robert R. McCammon, Science Fiction, Thriller / with No comments /

Even God stays away from the village of BETHANY'S SIN.

For Evan Reid, his wife Kay, and their small daughter Laurie, the beautiful house in the small village was too good a bargain to pass up. Bethany's Sin was a weird name, but the village was quaint and far from the noise and pollution of the city.

But Bethany's Sin was too quiet. There were no sounds at all...almost as if the night had been frightened into silence.

Evan began to notice that there were very few men in the village, and that most of them were crippled. And then there was the sound of galloping horses. Women on horses. Riding in the night.

Soon he would learn their superhuman secret. And soon he would watch in terror as first his wife, then his daughter, entered their sinister cabal.

An ancient evil rejoiced in Bethany's Sin. A horror that happened only at night...and only to men.

May 05, 2020 / in Fiction and Fantasy, Mythology, New Adult, Paranormal Romance, Romance, Wendy Higgins / with No comments /

People travel from afar to the small isle in the Aegean Sea hoping for a single glimpse of Princess Psyche. Their adoration for the mortal woman is so all-consuming that citizens begin to shower her with the very gifts and offerings they once left at the alter of Venus, goddess of love and beauty.

But gods are known for their jealousy.

N - 30 | Asian Journals India and Japan by Joseph Campbell

April 30, 2020 / in Cultural-India, Joseph Campbell, Mythology, Nonfiction, Travel / with No comments /

At the beginning of his career, Joseph Campbell developed a lasting fascination with the cultures of the Far East, and explorations of Buddhist and Hindu philosophy later became recurring motifs in his vast body of work.

However, Campbell had to wait until middle age to visit the lands that inspired him so deeply. In 1954, he took a sabbatical from his teaching position and embarked on a yearlong voyage through India, Thailand, Cambodia, Burma, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and finally, Japan.

N - 42 | The Once and Future Queen: Guinevere in Arthurian Legend by Nicole Evelina

April 24, 2020 / in Mythology, Nicole Evelina, Nonfiction / with No comments /

Guinevere’s journey from literary sinner to feminist icon took over one thousand years…and it’s not over yet.

Literature tells us painfully little about Guinevere, mostly focusing on her sin and betrayal of Arthur and Camelot. As a result, she is often seen as a one-dimensional character. But there is more to her story. By examining popular works of more than 20 authors over the last one thousand years, The Once and Future Queen shows how Guinevere reflects attitudes toward women during the time in which her story was written, changing to suit the expectations of her audience.

PN - 597/1 | Pendragon (Dark Age #1) by James Wilde

April 07, 2020 / in Adventure, Dark Age Series, Epic Fantasy, Historical Fiction, James Wilde, Mythology, Paranormal / with No comments /

Here is the beginning of a legend. Long before Camelot rose, a hundred years before the myth of King Arthur was half-formed, at the start of the Red Century, the world was slipping into a Dark Age…

It is AD 367. In a frozen forest beyond Hadrian’s Wall, six scouts of the Roman army are found murdered. For Lucanus, known as the Wolf and leader of elite unit called the Arcani, this chilling ritual killing is a sign of a greater threat.

N - 64 | Fallen Angels and the Origins of Evil: Why Church Fathers Suppressed the Book of Enoch and Its Startling Revelations by Elizabeth Clare Prophet

February 21, 2020 / in Alternate History, Mythology, Nonfiction, Occult, Philosophy and Religion / with No comments /

Did rebel angels take on human bodies to fulfil their lust for the 'daughters of men'?
Did these fallen angels teach men to build weapons of war?
That is the thesis of the Book of Enoch, a text cherished by the Essenes, early Jews and Christians but later condemned by both rabbis and Church Fathers. The book was denounced, banned, cursed and 'lost' for over a thousand years -- until in 1773, a Scottish explorer discovered three copies in Ethiopia.
