Two novelettes about madmen who want to conquer the world. The Beetle Horde was the cover story for the initial issue of Astounding Stories in January 1930. The Invisible Death was the cover story for Astounding Stories in the October 1930 issue. Both stories were about the revenge that spurned egotistical men will wreak upon the world when they don’t get their ways. Both stories reveal weak men in positions of advantage as the aspiring autocrats of their fantasies. The Beetle Horde (1930) Only two young explorers stand in the way of the mad Bram’s horrible revenge— the releasing of his trillions of man-sized beetles upon an utterly defenseless world. Chapter I – Dodd’s Discovery Chapter II – Beetles and Humans Chapter III – Ten Miles Underground Chapter IV – Bram’s Story Chapter V – Doomed! Chapter VI – Escape! Conclusion Bullets, shrapnel, shell—nothing can stop the trillions of famished, man-sized beetles which, led by a madman, sweep down over the human race. Chapter VII – Through the Inferno Chapter VIII – Recaptured Chapter IX – The Trail of Death Chapter X – At Bay Chapter XI – The World Set Free The Invisible Death (1930) With night-rays and darkness-antidote America strikes back at the terrific and destructive Invisible Empire. Chapter I – Out of the Hangman’s Hands Chapter II – Conference Chapter III – In the White House Chapter IV – The Invisible Ambassador Chapter V – The Enemy Strikes Chapter VI – The Gas Chapter VII – On the Trail Chapter VIII – The Magnetic Trap Chapter IX – The Invisible Emperor Chapter X – The Tricks of the Trade Chapter XI – In the Laboratory Chapter XII – Von Kettler’s End Chapter XIII – You Can’t Down the Marines Invisible Death has 3 illustrations.

Humans are existential animals. We are all fully aware of our fragility, transience, and potential cosmic insignificance. Our ability to ponder the big questions about death and meaning and the anxiety that these questions can provoke have motivated us to be a species not only concerned about survival, but also about our significance. The quest for transcendent meaning is one reason why humans embrace the supernatural. Children naturally see the world as magical, yet when humans reach full cognitive development they are still drawn to supernatural beliefs and ideas that defy the laws of physics. Even those who consider themselves secular or atheists are seduced by supernatural belief systems. Clay Routledge, an experimental psychologist, asserts that belief or trust in forces beyond our understanding is rooted in our fear of death and need for meaning. In Supernatural: Death, Meaning, and the Power of the Invisible World, he reveals just how universal supernatural thinking is, and how this kind of thinking is adaptive and even healthy. Routledge takes readers through a wide range of fascinating research from psychology that paints a picture of humans as innate supernatural thinkers. Exploring research from the emerging field of experimental existential psychology, he makes the case that all humans have the same underlying existential needs, with similar coping strategies across times, cultures, and degrees of religiousness. Surprisingly, cultural institutions such as sports, environmentalism, secular humanism, and science also showcase supernatural attributes and qualities. Indeed, studies show that supernatural thinking assuages stress and anxiety and improves mood and psychological well-being. But there is a potential dark side to this line of thinking: it can lead to personal and social problems, and some individuals can take it a step too far. However, Routledge argues that this dark side of supernatural thinking is the exception, not the rule. Further, supernatural thinking is ever-present, and should unite us instead of dividing us.

In a world that doesn’t understand or want to talk much about grief, losing a sibling changes someone forever. Grieving siblings often feel very alone, as much of the focus and support is geared toward their parents. With limited vocabulary to express grief, people can be left with the feeling that a piece of them has died too.
In 2004, clinical psychologist, Dawn DiRaimondo, suddenly lost her 22-year-old brother, Michael, who was serving as a flight medic in Iraq when his helicopter was shot down. This life-altering event compelled Dr. DiRaimondo to build a practice specializing in helping her clients through the most difficult of losses: children, young parents, siblings, and spouses. Surviving Sibling Loss interweaves both her story of losing her own brother with clinical insights into the impact of significant grief and loss in one’s life. This book will help surviving siblings feel validated and understood, as well as provide a number of ways to both cope, and honor their sibling. Surviving Sibling Loss is powerful, raw and heartfelt. It’s a must-have resource for anyone who has lost a sibling and for the people in their life—partners, friends, parents, even clinicians—who want to better support them.
