My debut book of horror tales is out in time for Halloween!

Opening this collection are a pair of contest winning flash fiction pieces. “Feeding Time” follows a gravedigger protecting his community from what lurks in the woods, and “The Hungry Cemetery” details a university service obligation gone dreadfully wrong.

“Lost Vintage,” a short story, and “Legend Trip,” a work of flash fiction original to this book, offer glimpses at a haunted Victorian Mansion that materializes in different locations.

Two short stories appear in print for the first time within this collection, having previously been adapted for audio on The NoSleep Podcast. In “The House Flipping Find,” a renovation reveals an ancient journal connected to a monstrous curse, and in “The Abyss Within,” an autopsy exposes a staircase to a lightless underworld.

“Monster in the Mine” is a short story that identifies a potential source of evil for the town of Hazel Peak, a locale that appears in many of this book’s tales.

Women are driven to madness by exposure to occult objects in a duo of short stories, “Seven Entries in the Midnight Path,” and “Our King Needs Subjects,” which is also original to this collection.

“The Threshold,” a novelette about a mysterious door leading to horrifying realities connected to Robert W. Chamber’s The King in Yellow and H.P. Lovecraft’s Cthulhu Mythos, is compiled in one place for the first time here and trailed by three frightening short stories.

During the Old West era, strangers turned allies face an eldritch force awoken from the depths of a mine in “The Sheriff and the Samurai.”

“The Red Duke” presents three friends attending a concert where the audience is in for a gruesome performance followed by an encore of cosmic horror.

The sleeping god of R’lyeh surfaces in the final narrative of this book, “After He Wakes.”

Fans of John Carpenter Movies, NoSleep Reddit Threads, and Lovecraftian fiction should find a lot to be enthralled by in A Mythos of Monsters and Madness.

Here are my latest works of contemporary fiction: Gossamer Wings and Flights of Fancy. For the last 10 years, I've focused on writing four works of fiction under the pen name Reggie Morrisey; this after I retired from a career in journalism and technical writing. So, given more years behind than ahead in life, I used my time to produce inventory. I'm thrilled to have completed all four works of fiction and would like to share the stories with readers.

This book's intention is for all of us who speak or write to become increasingly better able to deeply listen to others, and authentically express ourselves, in ways that foster understanding, appreciation and respect for everyone who is present, and everyone who is not. With some few exceptions, “we” seem to have lost the ability to disagree with each other without engaging in personal insult, labeling and sweeping generalizations.

Foreign Exchange Constraint and Developing Economies addresses the complex nature of foreign exchange constraint for macroeconomic and social development. The book collects expertise and perspectives from a diverse set of contributions. Using a combination of innovative theoretical and empirical approaches, the book suggests several analytical frameworks to help advance academic research and policy work on foreign exchange and sustainable development.

Foreign Exchange Constraint and Developing Economies addresses the complex nature of foreign exchange constraint for macroeconomic and social development. The book collects expertise and perspectives from a diverse set of contributions. Using a combination of innovative theoretical and empirical approaches, the book suggests several analytical frameworks to help advance academic research and policy work on foreign exchange and sustainable development.

Chapters explore how trends in exchange rates, currency dynamics and international capital markets impact development models of primarily small open economies. The problems of global capital flows affected by the COVID-19 pandemic are also reviewed. The book presents analyses of both country-level and regional patterns and discusses broader implications for emerging markets.

Exploring urgent questions for academic and policy agendas, this will be an important read for economists and researchers working on the topics of economic development, international economics, open economy, exchange rate management, sovereign debt, central banking, and monetary policy. Applied economists and policymakers will also find this a meaningful resource.

'Most emerging and developing economies face a persistent foreign exchange gap. Holding foreign exchange reserves, even in large amounts, does not eradicate the gap that essentially produces persistently foreign exchange constrained economies. This book is a very helpful collection of chapters that elucidates the various manifestations for the foreign exchange constraint. It covers a wide number of important topics such as capital flows, foreign debt, exchange rate policy, the role of MNCs, financial crisis, and others. The collection will be very helpful to researchers and policymakers.'
- Tarron Khemraj, New College of Florida, US

'With the Ukraine crisis fueling inflation, rising interest rates and soaring debt-burdens, this timely volume brings together diverse approaches spanning theoretical models, empirical investigations, and policy analyses to address the challenges posed by volatile capital flows, deteriorating exchange-rates and the impact of COVID-19 to EMDCs in a world in flux.'
- Ramaa Vasudevan, Colorado State University, US

'The chapters in Professor Gevorkyan's edited book are a reminder that the external constraint is essentially a foreign exchange one, and that the post-Bretton Woods institutions are ill designed to help developing countries cope with the volatility of international capital flows. This is a timely and relevant collection of papers that should be required reading for all the experts in international financial issues.'
- Matías Vernengo, Bucknell University, US

'After more than 2 decades of work in developing countries, realizing the many ways conventional modern macroeconomics education misses the main challenges that are actually faced by their policymakers, I am delighted to see the relevant topics for growth and macroeconomic stability in developing economies make a comeback. Aleksandr Gevorkyan and the authors that joined him in this fine treatment of the issues need to be congratulated and encouraged to continue deepening this most-relevant research and policy analysis program.'

Foreign Exchange Constraint and Developing Economies

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
'Most emerging and developing economies face a persistent foreign exchange gap. Holding foreign exchange reserves, even in large amounts, does not eradicate the gap that essentially produces persistently foreign exchange constrained economies. This book is a very helpful collection of chapters that elucidates the various manifestations for the foreign exchange constraint.

Informal networks can be a major obstacle to the effectiveness of managers. At the same time though, they can enable and facilitate business activities and support the efficiency and effectiveness of managerial actions. Since informal ties and networks can have a bright and a dark side, it is important for international managers to understand the way they work in the respective cultural context. Informal networks are often perceived as pervasive in emerging markets such as China or Russia, to be used to instrumentalize social capital and develop a relational competitive advantage or to simply circumvent formal rules. Contrary to this perception, they often stand for sociability and social cohesion, antecedents of a strong society. To date it remains unclear whether multinational enterprises have processes in place to identify, control, and manage informal ties and networks.

Informal Networks in International Business sheds light into the complex nature of informal networks and the respective context in which they operate. Leading experts provide insights into novel research themes and extend conventional research paths on informal network phenomena in the international business context. The contributions in this edited volume help international business scholars, students, and international managers in globally operating organizations alike to develop knowledge about the dynamics, complexities and ambiguities of informal networks and informal networking worldwide.

The proposed work here is a literary creation: a play accompanied by a critical study on it. The work (second part) introduces us to characters that thanks to the contest of the dream dimension - the invention of the last dream of the King of Castile, Alfonso XI - make a trip in the future. They flee from the medieval plague of 1348, sail to the unknown, and meet, after crossing the Atlantic Ocean, in 2020, in dystopia. Things are deteriorating and navigators end up being expelled from this place. The framework of the play was built around stories of dreams located in a distant era, so it has been necessary to prepare a prolegomenon that explains all the peculiarities of this period. The fantastic and symbolic elements of the work have been deliberately clarified and the "intentio operis", within an exercise of literary self-criticism. The first part of this work is an addendum, a kind of hermeneutics for the reader, and can be appreciated, according to the choice, before or after reading the theatrical production.
