The Beast of Jersey, notorious -- and nightmarish -- serial offender who terrorized the tiny Britsh Channel isle from 1957 to 1971. Just try to imagine the abject terror of waking up in the dead of night and seeing THIS standing at the foot of your bed. I watched a documentary on the crimes and almost had to sleep with a light on. In the daylight hours, he was Edward Paisnel, a construction worker and family man whose wife ran a children's group home, but when night fell, he became The Beast, donning a homemade Mummer's-style mask, a black wig, duster coat embedded with nails and screws, and leather wristlet studded with nails. His victims were women and young children, the first ones claimed at rural bus stops, as if a deranged scarecrow had come to life and begun prowling the countryside. He graduated to home invasions, learning his quarrys' routines and vulnerabilities before striking. He would bind his victims and compel them out into nearby fields, only to bizarrely escort them back indoors when he's satisfied his lust. The police knew that they had a repeat offender on their hands when the telltale wound patterns left by his cuffs and coat became evident. He would pen a taunting, cryptic Jack The Ripper letter to the authorities signed "Wait and See." Another local man was wrongly suspected of the crimes, harassed by the citizenry, and had to flee the area after his house was burned down. As often is the case with this type of series predator, a traffic stop was Paisnel's undoing. He attempted to outrun the police and crashed his car, his costume and kit discovered. A search of his home revealed a Black Magic shrine and collection books related to Diabolism. He made references to the police of being part of an esoteric subculture, a dark power rising in the world. He was duly convicted of the crimes and received a thirty-year sentence, only to unbelievably be awarded early release for good behavior (!?), expiring from a heart attack a few years later after being driven out of his former hunting grounds, the true scope of his crimes still subject of speculation.

the feminine, the masculine, the artistic urge to stare at the paintings until they make you hallucinate, to read poems until they seep inside your soul, to write such words that hold the power to shatter a person's heart and fill the void at the same time.

Lattes, essays, and libraries on a rainy day.
Finals may be creeping up on me, but for just a moment, everything is ok.

So my state is going to the Supreme Court to ask if they can remove books from their library.
As an English major and a reader/writer, this is disgusting. Why are we removing books for? They’re for learning and entertainment. And they want to take that away?
What is wrong with people?

MOTÖRHEAD'S SNAGGLETOOTH MEETS A PISSED-OFF, THREE-EYED SPACE ALIEN.
PIC INFO: Spotlight on a 1978 NEL republishing of Robert A. Heinlein's "Star Beast," originally published in 1954. Artwork by Joe Petagno.
SYNOPSIS: "When John Thomas Stuart VIII abducted the young star beast from its native planet he knew he was taking a risk. But three generations later the creature was still with the Stuarts, as a long-established family pet. Until, one afternoon, it broke loose.
The order was out to destroy "Lummox." And then its fellow creatures arrived to retrieve it. More powerful and highly developed than any star race previously encountered by Man, the Hroshii threaten Earth with interplanetary war. But the star beast and its "master'," John Thomas Stuart XI, have disappeared."
-- NEW ENGLISH LIBRARY (NEL publishing house), c. 1978
