Strange Material explores the relationship between handmade textiles and storytelling. Through text, the act of weaving a tale or dropping a thread takes on new meaning for those who previously have seen textiles—quilts, blankets, articles of clothing, and more—only as functional objects. This book showcases crafters who take storytelling off the page and into the mediums of batik, stitching, dyeing, fabric painting, knitting, crochet, and weaving, creating objects that bear their messages proudly, from personal memoir and cultural fables to pictorial histories and wearable fictions. Full-color throughout, the book includes chapters on various aspects of textile storytelling, from "Textiles of Protest, Politics, and Power" to "The Fabric of Remembrance"; it also includes specific projects, such as the well-known and profoundly moving Names Project AIDS Memorial Quilt, as well as poetry mittens, button blankets, and stitched travel diaries. Offbeat, poetic, and subversive, Strange Material will inspire readers to re-imagine the possibilities of creating through needle and fabric. Leanne Prain is the co-author (with Mandy Moore) of Yarn Bombing, now in its third printing, and the author of Hoopla: The Art of Unexpected Embroidery. A professional graphic designer, Leanne holds degrees in creative writing, art history, and publishing.

A collection of 15 fantasy short stories, similar to the "Arabian Nights", set in Chicago. Excerpt: The Manner in Which Mr. Edward Middleton Encounters the Emir Achmed Ben Daoud. It was a lowering and gloomy night in the early part of the present century. Mr. Edward Middleton, a gallant youth, who had but lately passed his twenty-third year, was faring northward along the southern part of that famous avenue of commerce, Clark Street, in the city of Chicago, wending his way toward the emporium of Mr. Marks Cohen. Suddenly the rain which the cloudy heaven had been promising for many hours, began to descend in great scattered drops that presaged a heavy shower. Mr. Middleton hastened his steps. It was possible that if the dress-suit he wore, hired for the occasion of the wedding of his friend, Mr. Chauncey Stackelberg, should become imbued with moisture in the shower that now seemed imminent, Mr. Cohen, of whom he had hired the suit, would not add to the modicum agreed upon, a charge for pressing it. But if his own suit for everyday wear, which he was carrying under his arm with the purpose of putting it on at good Mr. Cohen’s establishment, should become wet, that would be a serious matter. It was, in fact, his only suit and that will explain the anxiety with which he scanned the heavens. Suddenly, Pluvius unloosed all the fountains of the sky, and with scarcely a thought whither he was going, Mr. Middleton darted into the first haven of refuge, a little shop he happened to be just passing. As the door closed behind him with the tinkle of a bell in some remote recess, for the first time he realized that the place he had entered was utterly dark. His ears, straining to their uttermost to make compensation for the inability of his eyes to be of service to him in this juncture, could no more than inform him that the place was utterly silent. But to his nose came the powerful fragrance of strange foreign aromas such as he had never had experience of before,—which, heavy and oppressive in their cloying perfume, seemed the very breath of mystery. All traffic had ceased without, as the night was well advanced and the rain beat so heavily that the few whom business or pleasure had called abroad at that hour, had sought shelter. But though the rain now fell with a steady roar, Mr. Middleton, perturbed by a nameless disquiet, was about to rush forth into the tempest and seek other shelter, when a door burst open and, outlined against a glare of light, stood a gigantic man who said in a deep, low voice that seemed to pervade every corner of the room and cause the air to shake in slow vibrations... About Wardon Allan Curtis: (1867-1940) US author, a contributor to several pre-sf fiction magazines. His most important sf is a short Identity Transfer story about a brain transplant, "The Monster of Lake LaMetrie" (September 1899 Pearson's), in which the brain is human and the recipient body that of a prehistoric survival – an elasmosaurus (see Dinosaurs) – from a bottomless lake that may lead into a Symmesian Hollow Earth. Curtis also wrote an Arabian Nights fantasy, "The Seal of Solomon the Great" (February 1901 Argosy) and The Strange Adventures of Mr Middleton (coll 1903), which contains a mixture of Oriental fantasy and bizarre mystery.

Of course, getting him on the record would be easier if he hadn't caught her eavesdropping. . . Lighting His Fuse Catullus Graves knows what it's like to be shut out: his ancestors were slaves.

In the chilling pages of The Stranger's Secret, Alicia wakes to a world blurred by confusion and shadowed by an accident that has left her with partial amnesia. Nestled within the icy grip of a storm, she and her husband, Mark, reside in their isolated luxury home, a seemingly perfect sanctuary that quickly transforms into a prison of uncertainty. As the winds howl outside, a sinister tension brews within the walls—Alicia's mind is a labyrinth of fragmented memories, and the man who claims to love her may be the architect of her disorientation. Alicia’s life, once filled with warmth and trust, now teeters on the edge of doubt. Mark, her devoted husband, attempts to soothe her fears with gentle reassurances and loving gestures, but his unwavering devotion only serves to amplify Alicia's growing suspicion. Why can’t she remember the accident? What secrets lie buried in the recesses of her mind? Each day, as she navigates her foggy recollections, she begins to question the very foundation of her identity and the man sworn to protect her. As the storm rages outside, trapping them in an increasingly claustrophobic environment, Alicia discovers subtle inconsistencies in Mark's stories—details that don't add up and hints of a past she can't fully grasp. With each fleeting memory that surfaces, she grapples with the disquieting notion that the man at her side may not be the person he claims to be. The isolation of their mountain retreat magnifies her anxiety, and the once comforting embrace of love begins to feel like a suffocating noose. In this gripping tale of trust and deception, The Stranger's Secret explores the fragility of identity and the lengths one will go to uncover the truth. As Alicia fights to piece together the puzzle of her past, she must determine if the man she loves is her savior or her captor. With every revelation, the stakes rise, and the line between love and betrayal blurs, leading to a breathtaking climax that will leave readers questioning everything they thought they knew. In a world where memory can betray and loyalty can mask danger, can Alicia reclaim her identity before it's too late? Step into the dark, foreboding atmosphere of The Stranger's Secret, where every shadow conceals a secret and trust may be the deadliest gamble of all.
