This historic volume was published in 1913, just before World War I. From the book's Preface: The journey of the Russian peasants to Jerusalem has never been described before in any language, not even in Russian. Yet it is the most significant thing in the Russian life of today. In the story lies a great national epic. The adventure of which I tell was unique and splendid, a thing of a lifetime. Whatever happens to me on my wander- ings over the world in the coming years, I have little doubt that even when I am old and gray I shall look back to it as the most wonderful thing I ever found on the road, the most extraordinary procession I ever stepped into. It has also been a great discovery. Jerusalem is a place of disillusion for the tourist who would like to feel himself a pilgrim, but here in the peasant world is a new road and indeed a new Jerusalem. Portions of this work have appeared serially, the Prologue in the English Review, the story of the journey to Jerusalem and of the Caravan to the River Jordan in Harpers Magazine. To the editors of these periodicals I desire to tender acknowledgment. - Stephen Graham ............................................................................. Book Reviews from Various Periodicals: "Mr. Stephen Graham writes with full sympathy for the point of view of the devout, simple-minded, credulous peasants whose companion he became in the trip by boat from Constantinople to Jaffa and thence on foot to the holy places." - The Nation "Apart from the value which must be attached to the authenticity of the glimpses of Russian life that Mr. Graham gives in his latest book, it also clearly ranks him as the best modern writer of the saga of vagabondage." -----N.Y. Times "Mr. Graham has written an intensely interesting book, one that is a delightful mixture of description, impression and delineation of a peculiar but colorful character." ---Book News Monthly "A book of intensely human interest." — The Continent. "The book is beautifully produced, illustrated with thirty-eight exceptionally fine snapshots, and is of commanding interest, whether read as a mere piece of adventure or as revelation of an almost unknown tract of religious belief." — Christian Advocate. "The story is written with a graphic and eloquent pen." -----The Congregationalist

Starting first grade was easy enough, but when second grade came along everything changed in a heartbeat. The sudden death of my oldest brother the day before Halloween, tragically re-directed the course of a young life, as I was about to navigate through the most culturally and socially explosive decade in history. The pointed prongs of social turmoil, exhilarating music, and the devilish soul of a creative and restless individual all contributed to a volatile and fascinating life.

A psychological tale of cinematic horror.On Halloween night, following an unnerving phone call from his diabetic mother, Hale and six of his med school classmates return to the house where his sister disappeared years ago. While there is no sign of his mother, something is waiting for them there, and has been waiting a long time. Written as a literary film treatment littered with footnotes and obscure nuances, Demon Theory is even parts camp and terror, combining glib dialogue, fascinating pop culture references, and an intricate subtext as it pursues the events of a haunting movie trilogy too real to dismiss. There are books about movies and movies about books, and then there’s Demon Theory–a refreshing and occasionally shocking addition to the increasingly popular “intelligent horror” genre.
