Jim Wayne Miller (1936–1996) was a prolific writer, a revered teacher and scholar, and a pioneer in the field of Appalachian studies. During his thirty-three-year tenure at Western Kentucky University, he helped build programs in the discipline in Kentucky, Tennessee, and Ohio, and worked tirelessly to promote regional voices by presenting the work of others as often as he did his own. An innovative poet, essayist, and short story writer, Miller was one of the founding fathers and animating spirits of the Appalachian renaissance. In Every Leaf a Mirror, Morris Allen Grubbs and Mary Ellen Miller have gathered essential selections from the beloved author's oeuvre. Highlights from the volume include touchstone poems; seminal articles; a rare autobiographical essay; a commencement address; and an excerpt from the previously unpublished short story "Truth and Fiction." Revealing the scope and significance of Miller's contributions as an artist and cultural scholar, this reader captures the excitement that surrounded the birth of modern Appalachian literature. With commentary by Mary Ellen Miller, an introduction from well-known author Robert Morgan, and an afterword by the notable Silas House, Every Leaf a Mirror provides an unprecedentedly intimate look at Miller's writing. This long overdue collection not only celebrates the life of this revered ambassador of Appalachian literature and culture but also introduces a new generation of readers to his work.

Delving into an encyclopaedic array of little-known primary sources, William Beaver uncovers a vigorous intelligence function at the heart of Victoria's Empire. A cadre of exceptionally able and dedicated officers, they formed the War Office Intelligence Division, which gave Britain's foreign policy its backbone in the heyday of imperial acquisition. Under Every Leaf is the first major study to examine the seminal role of intelligence gathering and analysis in 'England's era'. So well did Great Britain play her hand, it seemed to all the world that, as the Farsi expression goes, 'Anywhere a leaf moves, underneath you will find an Englishman.' The historian William Beaver is also a soldier, corporate communicator, arts editor and Anglican priest.

THE MIND-BENDING CULT CLASSIC ABOUT A HOUSE THAT’S LARGER ON THE INSIDE THAN ON THE OUTSIDE • A masterpiece of horror and an astonishingly immersive, maze-like reading experience that redefines the boundaries of a novel. ''Simultaneously reads like a thriller and like a strange, dreamlike excursion into the subconscious." —Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times "Thrillingly alive, sublimely creepy, distressingly scary, breathtakingly intelligent—it renders most other fiction meaningless." —Bret Easton Ellis, bestselling author of American Psycho “This demonically brilliant book is impossible to ignore.” —Jonathan Lethem, award-winning author of Motherless Brooklyn Years ago, when House of Leaves was first being passed around, it was nothing more than a badly bundled heap of paper, parts of which would occasionally surface on the Internet. No one could have anticipated the small but devoted following this terrifying story would soon command. Starting with an odd assortment of marginalized youth—musicians, tattoo artists, programmers, strippers, environmentalists, and adrenaline junkies—the book eventually made its way into the hands of older generations, who not only found themselves in those strangely arranged pages but also discovered a way back into the lives of their estranged children. Now made available in book form, complete with the original colored words, vertical footnotes, and second and third appendices, the story remains unchanged. Similarly, the cultural fascination with House of Leaves remains as fervent and as imaginative as ever. The novel has gone on to inspire doctorate-level courses and masters theses, cultural phenomena like the online urban legend of “the backrooms,” and incredible works of art in entirely unrealted mediums from music to video games. Neither Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist Will Navidson nor his companion Karen Green was prepared to face the consequences of the impossibility of their new home, until the day their two little children wandered off and their voices eerily began to return another story—of creature darkness, of an ever-growing abyss behind a closet door, and of that unholy growl which soon enough would tear through their walls and consume all their dreams.

"The Mirror and the Staircase" is a captivating collection of Sufi tales, each story unveiling the depths of spiritual and mystical wisdom. This book guides us through the teachings and metaphors of Sufi masters, illustrating the principles of soul purification and spiritual ascent. Sufi tales are more than mere stories; they are mirrors reflecting the profound truths of our existence and staircases leading to spiritual realization. In this collection, each story invites us to explore our own soul, understand our desires and fears, and find inner peace. In the first story, we follow the journey of Rahim, a young man in search of truth, who meets Sheikh Hakim. The Sufi master reveals that the mirror represents his soul, reflecting his thoughts and emotions. Through meditations and teachings, Rahim learns to purify his heart and see divine truth. In another story, Rahim is guided by Sheikh Hakim to an ancient stone staircase, symbolizing the spiritual path. Each step represents a challenge to overcome, a stage in the elevation of the soul towards divine truth. This powerful metaphor teaches us that faith, prayer, and perseverance are the keys to spiritual ascension. The tales are interspersed with inspiring quotes from the Quran and Sufi proverbs, enriching the narratives and offering profound reflections: *"He who knows himself knows his Lord."* - Sufi Proverb *"Do not weaken, and do not grieve, and you will be superior if you are believers."* (Quran 3:139) These words invite readers to meditate on their own spiritual journey and find answers in ancient wisdom. Each tale is a step in the soul's transformative journey. The characters, faced with their fears and desires, discover the power of forgiveness, love, compassion, and faith. The stories of Rahim, Leila, Hassan, and others illustrate that life's trials are opportunities for spiritual growth. "The Mirror and the Staircase" is more than just a collection of tales. It is an open door to the eternal wisdom of Sufism, an invitation to discover divine truth within oneself and ascend the steps of spiritual growth. Let these stories inspire you and find inner peace and light in every word. *"Indeed, with hardship comes ease."* (Quran 94:6) Dive into *"The Mirror and the Staircase"* and begin your own quest for truth and wisdom.

What if you could become part of a revolution that is sweeping the globe? What if you could probe the deepest core of your identity? What if you could unlock your purpose and transform your life? Would you do it? Sixteen-year-old Sean Mason thinks he has no future. Ever since his father vanished three years ago, Sean has been living in pain, haunted by his memories and in constant conflict with his mother. Worse yet, he has begun to experience chilling visions foretelling a possible future of devastation and destruction in the world. Sean feels helpless and out of control. But all of that is about to change. One day, in the throes of yet another vision, a disembodied voice tells Sean he has been given a mission that will determine his life’s purpose and quite possibly the fate of humanity. Immediately, Sean free-falls into emptiness and is drawn into another world, where he is gifted with a powerful seed that holds all the answers he needs - if he can discover its secret. Meanwhile, in a faraway dimension, a lowly castle watchman, an ancient and partially demented Knight, along with a prophetic, but ominous raven work together to lead Sean and his three friends into alternate realities where they struggle through trials and challenges that eventually reveal that it is up to their generation to help humanity rise above its self-destructive ways, no matter what the personal cost to them. Quest of a Teenage Mystic will turn the perception of your life upside down as you follow Sean into the many staggering dimensions and possibilities of the human experience.
