Successful young business owner, Carlyn "Carly" Jensen has always known that Waukensee, West Virginia is different. There are... things... lurking here, dangerous entities that don't linger around other communities. Townsfolk have seen them from time to time throughout the decades; even reported them to the authorities, only to be subsequently ridiculed and have their stories conveniently dismissed or covered up. That's because the powers-that-be don't know how to deal with such creatures, and to admit their existence acknowledges a problem that they don't want to have to contend with.These anomalies are the "elephant in the room" for every Waukensian, beasts thought of as just myth nearly everywhere else, talked about but only in hushed, fearful voices among family and close friends whom you can trust not to think you're crazy... simply because you know that they've seen the strangeness too. Werewolves, vampires, moth-men, lizard-men, and even the legendary Sasquatch are just some of the entities that have been reported to occasionally prowl the outskirts of this town when the sun drops below the horizon. The residents here follow quietly spoken rules of their own making-if you go out after dark, don't travel alone and stay close to well-lit, public venues. If you stray off on your own... you might not make it home.Based on a story her grandfather told her many years ago, Carlyn thinks she might know why such creatures occasionally come to lurk around Waukensee. It's been quiet here for some time but now, after unexpectedly coming face to face with death, she's determined to find out the answer.Join Carlyn, her brother Cody, and their friends as they unveil secrets of their own while attempting to unravel the mystery behind a string of violent murders and determine if the killer is merely one of their own or one of the oft-whispered-of creatures that stalk the area after sundown.

The Classic of Changes (Yi jing) is one of the most ancient texts known to human civilization, always given pride of place in the Chinese classical tradition. And yet the powerful fascination exerted by the Classic of Changes has preserved the archaic text, widely attracting readers with a continuing interest in trying to understand it as a source of reflection and guide to ordinary circumstances of human life. Its monumental influence over Chinese thought makes the text an indispensable element in any informed approach to Chinese culture.Accordingly, the book focuses on the archaic core of the Classic of Changes and proposes a structural anthropological analysis for two main reasons. First, unlike many treatments of the Yi jing, there is a concern to place the text carefully in the context of the ancient culture which created it, allowing a fuller appreciation of its divinatory mission, a unique orientation towards writing and literature. Second, the approach differs from traditional exegesis which did not and ultimately could not address problems of textual understanding in a holistic sense. This book is not a translation of the Classic of Changes; it is a careful interpretation, or rather method of exploration, of the connectivities and topography of the text as a whole. By isolating the social forms of an individual life, against the background of the archaic cosmology, as the structural preconditions for each randomized divination, this analysis succeeds in illuminating dimensions of early Chinese life that would not otherwise be accessed through other historical or archaeological materials. This provides a penetrating anthropological view into the conditions of thought in an archaic society to a degree previously unavailable. This book is thus a bold and powerful attempt at modeling an ancient culture in a way never before conceived sociologically, a profound auto-ethnography teaching us about the philosophical anthropology of its makers and preparing the way for further understanding of later classical texts. It will be of interest to all those engaged in seeking philosophical anthropological understanding of culture and writing, and especially contributes to the study of cultures of antiquity and their modes of thought. Anyone interested in complex, formalized classification systems would want to consider this analysis.
