From noon to noon houses of prostitution offered girls of every age and race. Gambling dens ran all day including Sundays. From all over the world practitioners of every vice stampeded for the blood and money of the gold fields. The Barbary Coast is the chronicle of the birth of San Francisco. Owing almost entirely to the influx of gold-seekers and the horde of gamblers, thieves, harlots, politicians, and other felonious parasites who battened upon them, there arose a unique criminal district that for almost seventy years was the scene of more viciousness and depravity, but which at the same time possessed more glamour, than any other area of vice and iniquity on the American continent. ![]() The history of the Barbary Coast properly begins with the gold rush to California in 1849. ![]() The Barbary Coast-An Informal History of the San Francisco UnderworldĬrime, gold, history, non-fiction, music halls, American west, San Francisco ![]() ![]() ![]() I'm going to get myself and my friends out of this hideous place for good-even if it's the last thing I do. ![]() The course of wisdom, surely.īut I'm not giving in-not to the mals, not to fate, and especially not to the Scholomance.

Our beloved school does its best to devour all its students-but now that I've reached my senior year and have actually won myself a handful of allies, it's suddenly developed a very particular craving for me. I suppose you could even argue that it's true-only the wisdom is hard to come by, so the shelter's rather scant. That's the official motto of the Scholomance.

Within romance, I’ve been gravitating toward contemporary sports, especially new adult. ![]() Romance is a must, lately-something to do with my mood and everything going on in the world. Stories are powerful and I want to surround myself with them. Realistically, I’d probably edit full-time (I edit part-time now), or own a bookstore or work in a library. There are so many things I’d love to do! I love to sing and dance around, so if there’s a version of Broadway for people with limited vocal ranges and no moves at all, I’d go there.

Unpublished in his lifetime and part of what is famously known as the Dream Cycle (over 20 works of varying length written between 19, concerning a vast alternate dimension that can be entered through dreams, which includes both works that INJ Culbard has previously adapted graphically for Self-Made Hero – such as At the Mountains of Madness and The Case of Charles Dexter Ward – and works featuring Randolph Carter, who is the hero of The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath), the latest HP Lovecraft graphic novelisation might just be the wildest ride yet (and seemingly indicative of a surge of wild, out there, quest-y graphic novels Self-Made Hero are publishing at the moment, such as Frederik Peeter’s epic Aama). ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This doorstopper is long on words but short on execution. Christian overtones (some subtle, others less so) are pervasive, especially in the finale, and add little to the story. ![]() Chbosky brings deep humanity to his characters and creates genuinely unsettling tableaux, including a nightmarish otherworld that Christopher accesses via his treehouse, but considerable repetition extends the narrative while diminishing its impact.
