Edgar Allan Poe’s “THE RAVEN” – the pop-up book edition

By Dede Santana

Pop-up book veterans David Pelham and Christopher Wormell have collaborated on a just-in-time-for-ween edition of Edgar Allen Poe’s magnificent torch, 1845’s The Raven.

Pelham and Wormell have serious pop-up/illustrated book chops (Pelham was on the 3D Human Body team, while Wormell’s back catalog is more than 100 books deep). The seven pop-up effects they’ve prepared for this edition are extremely beautiful, and lend themselves to being “animated” by the reader — for example, you can flap the Raven’s wings in time with the “Nevermore’s” or have Edgar throw wide his chamber’s door at the precise moment you say, “here I opened wide the door.”

Make no mistake: as beautiful a book as this is, you must read it aloud. I’ve enjoyed many readings of Poe (Christopher WalkenJames Earl JonesChristopher Lee, and, of course, Vincent Price), and I remember feeling an intense sense of recognition when I read Neil Gaiman’s 2009 essay exhorting you to read Poe aloud at all times — a thrill I felt when I read Gaiman’s words again in his new essay collection.

Poe’s words are hidden on each page, nestled in fold-up/fold-down tabs that you have to open after each reveal, and as I read this to my 8-year-old daughter Poesy (it’s not a coincidence that we call her “Poe” for short — EA Poe is one of her namesakes), the double-reveal of the pop-up (not a dud among them) and the prose made for an extra bit of drama.

If you’re gearing up for Hallowe’en (and if you aren’t, what are you waiting for?) and want to get your kids in the spirit of things, this is a perfect little helper — just the visual aid that Poe’s words need to come to life, rendered in a rich, dark palette and engineered with real care and love.

NIGGA PLEASE POETS

You don’t have to worry about me
Or my life in the future
I can make it on my own
So I’ll put on a collar
And get a better job than you
Better vehicle too
Your friends will be buying from me fool
You’re such a tool
My rhymes will actually make it
I hope yours can shake it
They are going to be sick
I’ll put your name out there a little
Try to push you through
But I can’t say you’ll be able to hold
A title of your own
And you wonder why your parents
Don’t call you grown
In the end you’ll end up
Writing your worthless shit on your own
Run back to her
See if she’ll take you
Hah she doesn’t want your crazy ass either
You make it so easy to hate you
Somebody will love you one day
After they rape you
You’ll have nothing left
You’ll be at the end
Just before you go
Always know
You’ll always be in the mind of my pen

HOW TO DON’T GIVE A S**T!! (DEDE SANTANA)

Dede santana

Okay, this is what you have been waiting for the entire article: How to not care what other people think of you.

It is one thing so say “Ahh, I don’t really care what people think”, but it is another story to actually not care what other people think. How do you go about adopting the habit of not being affected by how other people will think of you (especially when you have conditioned yourself for years to base your actions on impressing people)?

Doc.dede santana

First, it is going to take time.

You will not be able to change yourself overnight, and probably not within a week either. It is going to to take you conscious effort for a few weeks or even a few months before you can really and truly not care about what others think of you or your actions.

People don’t like you because of what you buy and what you have, they like you for who you are and what you are. (There are unfortunately always people who will pretend to be your friend for their own personal gain. These are not the kind of people who you want to like you anyways). This is something I am telling you from experience, and even though you may take what I say to heart, you will still have to realize it for yourself. I cannot do that for you.

Secondly, you are going to feel awkward.

The only way to really not care about what people think means you have to start doing what you want in the situations where you normally change your behavior to impress other people. Initially this is going to feel awkward to you. You might feel humiliated, stupid or embarrased. It doesn’t matter, it’s part of the process and it won’t kill you.

I used to be the guy who cared a lot about what other people thought. I used to want gadgets, clothes and cars to impress people. I used to think if I just went along with other people I would fit in and they would like me. It took me a good 3 years to get to my current stage where I care little about what other people think of how I live my life.

Where it started for me is being really shy to approach attractive girls. I would be scared to go over and talk to her because of what she might think of me. And if she didn’t want to talk to me I would be scared to be humiliated in front of other people. Like I said, it took me a long time to change my thought process and not care anymore what people think about me. The only way to change it was lots of experiences, forcing myself to go up to attractive girls and just saying the first thing that came to mind (which was often something ridiculously stupid).

It took me a long time to realize that it doesn’t matter.

Doc.dede santana

It doesn’t matter what people think of you when you do something. It doesn’t matter if you do something cool or something stupid. Most people don’t even know you and will never see you again. So what if you do something stupid and people around you think that you are a moron for a few hours. They probably won’t even pay attention to you for more than a few minutes.

Do you remember someone who made a complete fool out of themselves last week, or last month, or last year? Maybe you can think of one or two people, but other than that you probably can’t, even though there were hundreds of people around you who felt that they did something stupid or who felt embarrassed about what other people would think about them.

Parting Words

The most clear and simple instruction that I can teach you how not to care about what people think of you is this:

Whenever you do something ask yourself “Am I doing this to impress other people and because I hope to be liked by others, or am I doing this for myself?”

If the HONEST answer to the above question is that you are doing something to impress others and you wouldn’t really do it otherwise, then don’t do it. Do things because they are part of your mission, your goal or because they amuse you.

Remember, it doesn’t matter what the people in the restaurant think of you, or what the group of girls at the club think of you, or what the people who view your Youtube videos think of you.

What matters is that you are true to yourself. Be true to yourself or you ain’t true to nobody!

Indonesian sorcerer and serial killer Ahmad Suradji


An Indonesian man convicted of killing 42 women and girls in ritual slayings

Police say Ahmad Suradji, 57,

 lured his female victims to a sugarcane field near his home in western Indonesia.

Suradji then buried them up to the waist and strangled them before reburying their bodies with the heads pointing toward his house.

He was arrested in May 1997 following the discovery of a body in the field in Lubukpakan, a village in North Sumatra province.

Dozens of other corpses were later found nearby.

A district court found the sorcerer guilty a year later of killing 42 women and girls, between the ages 11 and 30, over an 11-year period.

He was sentenced to death.

Authorities placed Suradji in isolation on Monday, indicating that the execution could occur within days.

His lawyer, Adi Mansar, said today: “We have received formal notification that Suradji will soon be executed.

“I just met him at the prison this morning, and I think that was our last meeting.”

Many Indonesians believe in witchcraft and Suradji claimed he had the power to influence people’s futures.

The victims were believed to have been seeking his help in making their husbands or boyfriends faithful.

Suradji’s wife, Tumini, was also sentenced to death for assisting with the murders, but her sentence was later reduced to life in prison.
