Souls By Eirik Moe Dahll-Larsøn Summary
Humor and horror mix and match in RENTED SOULS by Eirik Moe Dahll-Larssøn

Verdict: As far as the horror stories about humanity threatened by unimaginable supernatural evil go, RENTED SOULS by Eirik Moe Dahll-Larssøn is pretty darn funny! 4 out of 5 stars.

Mini-synopsis: Dwarf was just another average guy until he got tricked into selling his soul to a demon. Now he finds himself embroiled in the not-so-secret war with extra-dimensional monstrosities threatening our world... with horrifying and hilarious consequences.

RENTED SOULS by Eirik Moe Dahll-Larssøn takes place in a world very much like our own, except that magic exists and monsters are real. Humanity's best and last line of defense is Unknown Counterintelligence Agency, fighting the good fight using any means available. This is a premise familiar to sci-fi/horror fans from countless movies, comic books, and TV shows. What makes RENTED SOULS stand out though is its sense of humor. …show more content…
After a disastrous encounter with a renegade demon, Dwarf gets his wish but loses his soul - literally, since neither humans nor demons can't seem to find it. To Dwarf's horror (and reader's amusement), UCIA seems to be pretty bad at its job as the monsters keep breaking in and out of Agency's

    Summary Of Mean Spirit By Hannah Hogan

    Connected within this repressive system, Hogan’s work critically explores the destruction and exploitation of the environment. Broad in scope when confronting the topic, she gives the reader a strong sense of the issues faced in regard to the natural world. Providing clarity to Hogan’s worldview, she juxtaposes that which troubles her against what she views as the correct way to be in the world. She is sharply critical of Western values for covering “the American continent with a view of the natural world that did not accept the Earth was alive and that all species were sentient.” Within the dominant view, the destruction of life is inherent.…

    Review of "Ordinary Resurrections" by Jonathan Kozol

    In his book, Ordinary Resurrections: Children in the Years of Hope, Jonathan Kozol pulls back the veil and provides readers with a glimpse of the harsh conditions and unrelenting hope that exists in a community located in the South Bronx called Mott Haven. Mr. Kozol provides his own socially conscious and very informative view of the issues facing the children and educators in this poverty ravaged neighborhood. Just his commentary would paint a very bleak picture of the future. It is the words of the children that give this book optimism and meaning. The courage and care exhibited by the volunteers of St. Ann's after school program and the creativity of the teachers at P.S. 30 are utterly inspiring. They work long hours and go beyond the call of duty to protect the innocence and cultivate the hope that resides in the hearts of Mott Haven's youngest residents.…

    Summary Of Death Becomes Us By Robert Muller

    The general argument made by Robert Muller in his article “Death Becomes Us: The Psychological Trauma of Killing” is that the soldiers who are forced to kill someone else, suffer more than the ones who are killed/wounded. Essentially it is a psychiatric breakdown; a mental breakdown which can lead to the suffering of depression, anxiety, and much more that can affect their everyday lives. More specifically, he argues that the greatest threat to one’s mental health is the fear of dying. People as well as animals, would rather try to scare away an enemy rather than kill another of their own nature. This method of scaring away enemies is labeled Posturing.…

    Alive By Piers Paul Read: Review

    The book ALIVE, by Piers Paul Read identified many possible themes, although I do think there are two that stand out. These two themes are survival and cooperation. Survival plays a major throughout the entire story. The most gruesome part in the story occurred when the remaining 28 passengers of the Fairchild were forced to cut up and eat there deceased friends and family members so that they would be able to survive. This drastic action was long disputed. This group of people went on for two weeks eating nothing but small portions of chocolate before they thought about their alternative food source. Secondly, throughout the ten weeks the survivors were in the Andes Mountains, which in the end was only 16 people, cooperation was…

    Analysis Of The Spirit Catches You And You Fall Down By Anne Fadiman

    "The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down" the book by Anne Fadiman is an interesting book that contains different situations where different cultures and traditions clashes as a result of different barriers. In this brief work I tried to shed light on some of these barriers that could exist in our clinical practice and how these barriers could be understood in different cultures. On the other hand, there is no doubt that cultural differences play an important role in problems analysis as well as the illness differential diagnosis, that is why it is important for policy makers and legislatives to set goals that help in including people from diverse cultures into health care systems such as the one of the United States of America. Finally,…

    Uniform Crime Victimization Survey

    Unfortunately, all of the primary methods of collecting crime data experience inherent flaws, either in the attributes data collected, or the methodology for collecting data. Ideally, a centralized database combining quantitative, qualitative, and geographic attributes would provide the best measure of statistical analysis relating to crime. However, this is near impossible to accomplish, as crime definitions vary from state to state, and there is standardized methodology for local law enforcements with regard to reporting crime (Fagin, 2016).…
