Описание:

Halloween, 1963. They call him the October Boy, or Ol' Hacksaw Face, or Sawtooth Jack. Whatever the name, everybody in this small Midwestern town knows who he is. How he rises from the cornfields every Halloween, a butcher knife in his hand, and makes his way toward town, where gangs of teenage boys eagerly await their chance to confront the legendary nightmare. Both the hunter and the hunted, the October Boy is the prize in an annual rite of life and death.
Pete McCormick knows that killing the October Boy is his one chance to escape a dead-end future in this one-horse town. He's willing to risk everything, including his life, to be a winner for once. But before the night is over, Pete will look into the saw-toothed face of horror--and discover the terrifying true secret of the October Boy . . .
Winner of the Stoker Award and named one of the 100 Best Novels of 2006 by "Publishers Weekly," "Dark Harvest" is a powerhouse thrill-ride with all the resonance of Shirley Jackson's "The Lottery."

Описание: The Alton Estate is widely acclaimed as one of the seminal works of the modern architecture in Britain. Yet few know its creators, four ambitious young architects in the employ of the London County Council: Bill Howell, John Killick, John Partridge, and Stan Amis.

Howell Killick Partridge & Amis tells the story of these four architects who launched their firm with a maverick design for Churchill College, Cambridge. Deriving a distinct design language from revealed structures and highly modeled surfaces, Howell Killick Partridge & Amis (HKPA) developed a rich architecture that they applied to a range of projects--from additions to Oxford and Cambridge Colleges to theaters, houses, and government buildings. Although a mastery of precast concrete and a preference for raw finishes earned them an early reputation as brutalists, their sensitivity to context, refined sense of light and materials, and eye for the qualities of historic buildings transcends any single style. Geraint Franklin has combined interviews with archival research to tell the story behind HPKA's built and unrealized projects. Lavishly illustrated with new photography by James O. Davies and images from the archive, the book is a must for students and architects wanting to discover this key practice in British postwar architecture.
