His comprehensive approach includes lessons on how to:įind and use historical archives and conduct physical field research In "The Art and Craft of Writing Historical Fiction," best-selling author James Alexander Thom ("Follow the River," "From Sea to Shining Sea," "Sign-Talker") gives you the tools you need to research and create stories born from the past that will move and inspire modern readers. Once Upon a Time, it was NOW.While a historian stands firmly planted in the present and looks back into the past, a historical novelist has a more immediate task: to set readers in the midst of bygone events and lead them forward, allowing them to live and" feel" the wonderment, fear, hope, triumph, and pain as if they were there. Ong is befuddled by his introduction to a chaotic, Filipino public school at age five, and deeply scared of terrifying, witch-like first primary teacher, who made a habit of physically lashing out at misbehaving students. ABNKKBSNPLAKo?! is told through a series of humorous anecdotes focusing on four phases: primary school, high school, university, and his adult working life. The autobiography’s long title is meant to be read phonetically, as "Aba, nakakabasa na pala ako?!" which when translated to English means, “Wow, I can actually read now?!” Bob Ong is Filipino, but the name is a pseudonym and his true identity is unconfirmed, though several contemporary Filipino authors have been proposed. The book is written in Tagalog, the language of the Philippine Islands. ABNKKBSNPLAKo?! is an autobiography detailing author Bob Ong’s school days, from his experiences on his first day of primacy school to his disastrous university experience and culminating with his entry into the education sector himself, as a teacher. Some elements from this film he later incorporates in "Hellraiser". Technically it's very experimental and inventive, and special effects are fascinating considering almost no budget. Like Salome, this is short, black and white silent film, but this time a bit longer, printed in negative and combined with animation. To me, this is <3 Barker <3 /10 The Forbidden (1978) This is Barker's second movie attempt. For the majority of the rest, this will probably be unwatchable crap. For true Barker fans and film students, this is a must-watch film, which will almost surely leave a positive impression. Considering when it is done, his age and budget and fact that this is his first amateur attempt of filmmaking, it is very ungrateful to try to rate it objectively. Using just one light source in complete darkness Barker concentrates more on building an atmosphere than telling a story. This low-budget or more accurately no-budget film is made in some basement with just a few friends. Maybe more of a visual performance than a real movie. This is short 18 minutes black and white silent film. Salome from 1973 is the first cinematography attempt of then 20 years old future king of horror. Although most of you know him as the author of "Hellraiser" movies, for me his life achievement will always be a collection of short stories Book of Blood and video game Undying. Mainly a writer, but also a screenwriter, director, producer, actor, painter, illustrator. Salome (1973) Clive Barker is a multi-talented horror artist.
