Phantom of Time is a gripping historic novel about an antagonist who has power to bring before men the appearance of their departed friends. The counterfeit is perfect; the familiar look, the words, the tone, are reproduced with marvelous distinctness. Many are comforted with the assurance that their loved ones are enjoying the bliss of heaven, and without suspicion of danger, they give ear “to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils.” The pretended visitants from the world of spirits sometimes utter cautions and warnings which prove to be correct. But is this really true? The Phantom of Time takes the reader centuries in the past literally digging in the graves for the answers.
The supernatural has always been a part of my life, regardless if I wanted it to be or not. I had convinced myself so much of it was the overactive imagination of a kid who spent too much time in his head in order to cope with all the shit life threw at him. The memory is a fickle thing, a picture book drawn by a bad artist, an unreliable narrator picking away at the important bits while slamming square pegs in round holes to try and make them fit a narrative. It is also something of a benevolent protector, shielding us from what lies just beyond the veil that divides our fragile concepts of reality and the sledgehammer that is the truth. These last few months really showed me that. So, where do I begin talking about the events that became the hammer to the glass that was my hated reality?
When a family moves into the town's 'haunted house' to help get it sold, everyone at Cliffcoast is curious, and that includes Eve McAllister, this generation's vimp. But when it turns out the new resident is a ghost-whisperer, who comes to Eve for help, everyone is terrified. For a ghost to cross over, it must let go of its fixation with this world - and for some crazy reason Eve is the answer.
Shadows. A place where no human would not want to see or be. But there's more to the shadows than you think. It's not always dark. There's a code a solitude in the shadows that the great one speaks of. A rule for the mankind. For the one's that fear darkness, they have created a greater darkness. He speaks for every 300 years for a group of humans. To be reborn into darkness. To realize the world of greater darkness the Evil, Angels, and Demons. This group to be told well hide in the shadows in till of what becomes of them. They would hold the powers of the Grim Reaper's eyes, The Ghosts eyes, A Demon eye, Graceful Plasma and the blade of fate. These are the shadow codes to the unseen legion. Before the time when there was Survival, Defense of castles, ancient Homes and Wars. The unseen legion defended a long time ago the four lands we now live in. Strong as a pack of wolves. They sacrificed their lives and fought the prince of darkness. Giving away the shadow codes. Which that power will transcend into their new owners. We would call now the present day. The Unseen Legion will be reborn.
“Girl with Camera: A Ghost Story“ is the new graphic novel by author and artist Joy Rip. It is the haunting, disturbing story about the last one hundred pictures found on the camera of a missing girl - a girl with great ambitions of becoming a world recognized photographer and photojournalist.
“Girl with Camera” is an experimental ghost story. This ghost story creates a more lasting haunting experience for the reader by using the graphic novel to examine the ghostly fragmentary nature of all stories, all storytelling, and the ends to which we will go with our minds to create a sense of purpose, a sense of destiny and well-being in a hostile, lonely, violent universe. In this graphic novel, the structure and genesis of storytelling is broken down into fragmentary words and pictures in order to examine how our thirst for meaning, for stability, cohesion, consistency and continuity in our lives creates a logic of its very own - a logic supplied by both reader and author - that brings (imaginary or real) order to chaos and gives a sense of permanence to our existence where none may in fact exist.
