The Day I Met A Dinosaur: The Arawak Adventure In Jamaica
Introduction Migration is an intrinsic part of human history. People move from one place to another for various reasons, seeking new opportunities, a better life, or even as a response to adversity. The Caribbean diaspora is no exception to this phenomenon, with countless families embarking on journeys to foreign lands, leaving behind the warmth of their Caribbean homes. However, with migration comes the challenge of preserving one's cultural heritage and ensuring that children maintain a strong connection to their Caribbean roots. This article delves into the trials and tribulations faced by Caribbean parents living abroad and explores how literature, such as the children's book "The Day I Met A Dinosaur: The Arawak Adventure In Jamaica," can be a valuable tool in addressing these challenges.

DIRT PATH
DIRT PATH The dusty road stretched endlessly before him, winding its way through the arid landscape. The sun hung low in the sky, casting long shadows over the barren terrain. John had been driving for hours, the rhythmic hum of the engine lulling him into a contemplative trance.

Totally Biased Review of Maria Bamford's New Memoir
I first learned about Maria Bamford in the 2005 documentary, The Comedians of Comedy. I had fallen in love with the comedy of Patton Oswalt after listening to his 2004 album Feelin’ Kinda Patton. It was one I quoted frequently to my comedian friends. So when I found out that he had a movie that centered around him and three other comics on tour, I snatched it up and watched it immediately.

"Come Sweet Death..." . Content Warning.
"Come sweet death, one last caress..." The Misfits I've written two books on the subject of graverobbers and necrophiles. One from a fictional standpoint, but based on the very real case of Otto Carl Tanzler, a.k.a. "Count von Cosel," a man from the 1930s who robbed the tomb he constructed for the adored object of his infatuation, Cuban immigrant and tuberculoid Elena Milagro De Hoyos, who died in 1928 and who was a beautiful, tricky little thing that enraptured the weird old "Doctor" Count, who wrote in a later, largely fictionalized memoir about the various quack nostrums he used to try and preserve her fast-fading life. He didn't succeed, of course, but, in my novel, he manages, like Herbert West in then-contemporary author H.P. Lovecraft's famous story of the "Reanimator," to bring "His Darling Rose" back to life.
