Hallucinations / [large print] by Sacks, Oliver,1933-2015.(CARDINAL)347933;
Hallucinations don't belong wholly to the insane. They are commonly linked to sensory deprivation, intoxication, illness, or injury. For thousands of years, humans have used hallucinogenics to achieve them. Here, with elegance, curiosity, and compassion, Oliver Sacks weaves together stories of his patients and of his own mind-altering experiences to illuminate what hallucinations tell us about our brains, our culture, and ourselves.

BJ is having weird... hallucinations. What's really freaky, is that they are being accompanied by some pretty terrifying noises coming from his great grandmother's attic. Then, to complete his lesson in terror ... things... that are supposed to be stationary and NEVER move, suddenly come roaring to life in the worst possible way. He and his two best friends must return to the dark, sinister shadows of the creepy attic and see what's really goes on up there during the blue moon. The question is... will they come back down.

Beware the sky : tales from the dead / by Margot, Antoinette,1843-1925.(CARDINAL)822214;
BJ and his two best friends are fishing at the pond behind his house when either a gigantic whooping crane, the biggest owl ever seen, or some unknown flying creature swoops low over their heads. BJ is aware that this bird... has way too many human characteristics to also have a pair of moth like wings attached to his back. His hallucinations must be back, because he could NOT have really seen a half bird/half man with a wing span of at least twelve feet flying directly over his head. Could he?

Blind owl / by Hidāyat, Ṣādiq,1903-1951,author.(CARDINAL)713275; Tabatabai, Sassan,1967-translator,writer of introduction.;
Includes bibliographical references."Written by one of the greatest Iranian writers of the twentieth century, Blind Owl tells a three-part story of a pen-case painter, an isolated narrator with a fragile relationship with time and reality. In part one, he relates his own story in the first person, in a string of hazy, dreamlike recollections fueled by opium and alcohol. He spends time painting the covers of pen cases only to paint the exact same scene: an old man wearing a cape and turban sitting under a cypress tree, separated by a small stream from a beautiful woman in black who is bending down to offer him a waterlily. The novel transitions to a one-page part two where reader find the narrator covered in blood and waiting for the police to arrest him. Part three gives readers a glimpse into the grim realities that unlock the mysteries of the first part. Influenced by European writers like Kafka and de Maupassant, Hedayat also reveals a strong affinity with Dostoevsky. The protagonist of Blind Owl suffers from the brain fever characteristic of many of Dostoevsky's heroes such as Crime and Punishment's Raskolnikov. Both characters are also isolated in a tomb-like room, surrounded by deafening echoes of disturbed thoughts. Both are guilty of a horrible crime and paranoid of being arrested by the police at any moment. But whereas Raskolnikov has intellectually convinced himself that he must commit the crime for the greater good, the pen-case painter acts on instinct and seems oddly unaware of what he has done"--

From Italy to India and New York to Buenos Aires, Andie and Cal risk their lives to probe a secret world hidden in plain sight, drawing closer to answers that will determine not only their own fates, but who controls a new frontier of knowledge.
