Squee's Wonderful Big Giant Book of Unspeakable Horrors

Jhonen Vasquez

SLG Publishing, 1998

Don't want to share a seat on the bus?
Read this on the crowded bus. People look over your shoulder to see why you are laughing with tears streaming down your face, mascara running(boy or girl, doesn't matter). Make sure they get a good, long look at this. You will not have to share your seat, no matter how ...

Joy Unspeakable

David Martyn Lloyd-Jones

Kingsway Publications, 2008

Jones has a unique view of the Holy Spirit.
For a reformed author, D. Martyn Lloyd Jones has a unique view of the Holy Spirit. Unlike most Baptist and Reformed authors he holds that a believer may not initially be baptized by the Holy Spirit on conversion. His view is similar in some ways to that of many ...

Are You There Alone?: The Unspeakable Crime of Andrea Yates

Suzanne O'Malley

Pocket Star, 2005

The Mistreatment and trial of Andrea Yates
The recent Court decision to over-turn the conviction of Andrea Yates was based in part on the evidence presented in this well-researched book on the "unspeakable" crime. Ms. O'Malley caught a number of mistakes in the way Yates was treated and the way her case was ...

Seeing the Unspeakable: The Art of Kara Walker

Gwendolyn DuBois Shaw

Duke University Press, 2004

Heady without visual stimulation
This book is quite verbose, and I'm not convinced it truly reflects the artist's ideas. I had hoped for more photos of the artist's work; there are very few. I would recommend looking into one of the books written by the artist instead.

Scheisshaus Luck: Surviving the Unspeakable in Auschwitz and Dora

Pierre Berg, Brian Brock

AMACOM, 2008

Couldn't put it down
Decided to read some of the book. Just a chapter. Maybe two. Got stuck reading the whole thing from cover to cover in one day. Pierre's story is fascinating, detailed, and obviously very personal. You can't say you "enjoyed" the book because the subject matter is ...

Unspeakable Acts, Ordinary People: The Dynamics of Torture

John Conroy

University of California Press, 2001

A powerful, but difficult read
Most of this book examines three case studies, from numerous different angles, unveiling the mentality of torturer and tortured alike. The breaking up of the three cases into non-sequential sections aids readability a bit, and the whole tone of the writing is very ...

Unspeakable: The Story of Junius Wilson (Caravan Book)

Susan Burch, Hannah Joyner

The University of North Carolina Press, 2007

An incredible history book
Burch and Joyner have produced a wonderful example of what historical research can teach us. Mr. Wilson's story is heartbreaking but treated with respect and a gentle touch by this authors. The horrors experienced by this man speak for themselves and artfully told by ...

Unspeakable Truths: Facing the Challenges of Truth Commissions

Priscilla B. Hayner

Routledge, 2002

"The" Reference, Applies to 9-11 and USA Truth Commissions
The publisher has been lazy and inconsiderate in failing to post adequate information about this superb book. It is without question the single most important reference, covering the theory, the history, the practice, and future of truth commissions. It is ...

JFK and the Unspeakable: Why He Died and Why It Matters

James W. Douglass

Orbis Books, 2008

Remember what Santayana Said
This reviewer raptly read Mark Lane's Rush To Judgement, Jim Garrison's On the Trail of the Assassins: My Investigation and Prosecution of the Murder of President Kennedy, and Jim Mars' Crossfire: The Plot That Killed Kennedy when they were first published. This ...

Unspeakable

Graham Masterton

Pocket Star, 2005

Masterton is the greatest!
I am an avid Graham Masterton fan and I have read few authors that can invoke horror the way he does. Unspeakable is a hard book to describe without giving away important information that would ruin the reading experience. The book is not the usual supernatural, ...

Cambridge University Press, 2004

Clear and Thought-Provoking Gems from QM Master!
I am SO glad to see that this book has been given a second printing!!! Bravo, Cambridge University Press! This book is not destined to become a classic-- because It IS a classic ALREADY!! It is just one that hasn't been widely recognized yet. That's only a ...

Speakable and Unspeakable in Quantum Mechanics (Collected Papers on Quantum Philosophy)

John S. Bell

Cambridge University Press, 1988

Clear and Thought-Provoking Gems from QM Master
It is a travesty that this book is out of print. Almost unbelievable, in fact. What is Cambridge University Press thinking? This book is not destined to become a classic-- because It IS a classic ALREADY!! It is just one that hasn't been widely recognized yet. ...

An Unspeakable Betrayal: Selected Writings of Luis Buñuel

Luis Buñuel

University of California Press, 2002

Finally, these writings are available
This is a wonderful and funny collection of surreal writings from one of the greatest filmmakers of all time. Many of the earlier, surreal writings by Bunuel, written when he was with the Surrealists in France, are imaginative and funny. There is also the complete ...

Fucked by Rock: The Unspeakable Confessions of Zodiac Mindwarp

Mark Manning

Creation Books, 2001

High Priest of High
Zodiac Mindwarp, circa 'High Priest Of Love' was/were awesome; that six track mini album contains at least five classic punk/metal tracks. Having seen them live just as they began to break into the big time ('86?), and still having the scars from that night to prove it ...
