Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - THE CONFESSION TREEThe tree remembered every sin. Then they cut it down.For three centuries, the Confession Tree stood in the Appalachian mountains-an ancient execution oak where the guilty were hanged and their sins absorbed into the wood itself. 256 souls. 256 confessions carved into the grain.Grace Pritchard knows this because her twin brother was the last.She watched him hang for a murder they both committed. She's spent forty-six years carrying his confession and hers-the childhood abuse she never reported, the killing she helped hide.In 2019, the tree was felled. Its wood sold to a craftsman who carved it into forty-three beautiful objects: rocking chairs, kitchen tables, walking sticks, jewelry boxes.He had no idea what he was distributing.A mother rocks her infant and feels the urge to silence it forever. A family gathers for dinner and the table whispers strategies for bloodshed. A walking stick spreads violence through every hand that grips it.The objects don't haunt. They infect. Each piece carries fragments of the sins absorbed over centuries, and they're waking in the hands of the innocent.Grace is the only one who can collect them. She has Harrow blood-the sin-eater lineage that bound the tree in the first place. But every object she touches brands her. Dark wood-grain patterns spread across her skin like roots seeking purchase.The tree isn't dead. It's distributed across the country, poisoning lives one carved object at a time.And Grace is becoming the vessel it always needed-a living tree to hold what wood alone can no longer contain.The first sin was hers. The last one will consume her.Book One of The Darkwood Legacy: Folk horror meets object curse. For readers who crave The Ritual's ancient wrong made flesh and Hereditary's inescapable family sin.The wood remembers. And it's not finished.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Darkwood Legacy Book 5: JUBOKKOIn 1942, the United States government imprisoned 8,475 Japanese Americans in the Arkansas delta - on land nobody wanted, above something ancient that had been waiting for exactly this.The entity beneath the Rohwer War Relocation Center had no name, no form, and no method until the internees arrived. Then the Issei elders did what people do when they are stripped of everything else: they told their stories. They kept their culture alive in the tar-paper barracks, passing down the old warnings as acts of dignity and resistance. One of those warnings described a tree that grows from battlefields soaked in blood, that feeds on the living through its roots, that looks ordinary until it is far too late.They handed the entity its instruction manual. It has been feeding ever since.Eighty years later, the community that stayed near the old camp site knows what lives beneath the cotton fields and the soybean rows and the small cemetery that is all that remains of Rohwer. They have known for generations. Nobody outside that community has ever listened.Until Grace Pritchard arrives.Grace is the Oracle - marked by something older than any theology, carrying wood grain patterns on her skin as permanent evidence of what she has become. She has faced a buried intelligence before. She thinks she knows how this works. She does not. Every entity is different. Every entity requires something she hasn't brought with her. And this one has been feeding on a community for eighty years - patient, invisible, and completely at home in the black-water swamp.What waits beneath the delta is not a monster. It is a predator. And it learned exactly what it is from the people it has spent a lifetime destroying.JUBOKKO is the fifth novel in The Darkwood Legacy series - a supernatural horror story set against the real history of Japanese American incarceration at the Rohwer War Relocation Center in Desha County, Arkansas. It is a book about two predators: one human, one not. About what survives eighty years of slow erasure. About the difference between understanding what hunts you and being able to stop it.The land remembers everything. So does June Mori. She has been waiting for someone like Grace for a very long time.…

London, Macmillian and Co., 1958. Royal8vo. Bound in a green full cloth with gilt lettering to spine. Volume 181, from January to June, 1958, of "Nature" offered. Binding tight and clean externally as well as internally. Pp. 662-666. [Entire volume: CXLII, (2), 1816 pp]. First edition of the important paper in which the first three-dimensional model of a protein was obtained, and which thus laid the foundation for all structural biology. Kendrew was furthermore one of the first to use a computer in analyzing the data produced by x-ray diffraction. For his essential discovery Kendrew was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1962. The discovery is widely regarded as being one the most important in the second half of the 20th century within biology and chemistry. "The first dramatic but hard-won success of the approach [in understanding molecules], the determination of the three-dimensional structure of a protein called myoglobin, was announced in 1958 [in the present paper]. The findings laid the foundation for the age of structure in biology: [.] the paper was the outcome of a truly Herculean task.
