Описание: A once outcast in school unwittingly finds love for the first time. Looked at as a troublemaker, the young writer sits in class as the events of 9/11 unfold, and thus an unforgettable journey begins. Enlisting in the army, he finds himself in combat in the unforgiving mountainous terrain of Afghanistan. When an explosion leaves him temporarily blind, the phrase "Everything happens for a reason" resonates with him for the first time. The reader accompanies Sgt. Heckman as he journeys through war, recovery, loss, and love to see how even the worst situations can have a happy ending.

Описание:

The one-stoplight town of Daybreak, Ohio is still scarred from a horrific double-homicide and disappearance that happened three years earlier when journalist LOGAN JACKSON arrives from New York, looking to find a new topic to write about following an unexpected viral hit. Arriving in Daybreak to find a town deeply suspicious and seemingly hostile to all outsiders, Logan sets about trying to dig in to the Malone Murders, the tragic crime that still haunts the town, but finds resistance from all angles- law enforcement, the local press, and the population at large.

The only person seemingly interested in helping his budding investigation is VICTORIA GIBBONS, best friend of ELIZA, the teenage victim. After turning up on his first night in town to 'vet' him and his motivations behind wanting to write about the case, Victoria turns in to his biggest supporter, grateful that someone finally wants to shine a national spotlight on the case.

Despite initial resistance Logan's even-handed investigation and writing begins to thaw the icy relations with many in town, notably the Sheriff and local reporter ORSON WALCOTT, and his investigation begins to pick up steam as he zooms in on three possible suspects around town. Weathering threats and intimidation from the victim's ex-boyfriend, Logan begins to dig deeper in to the lives of the victims and their deep roots in the town. More and more people come forward, willing to speak about what they remember about the Malone's and the crime, but these interviews produce no real results.

Logan continues to dig but finds himself at a brick wall until he begins to receive mysterious emails which include copies of the victim's financial records, indicating there was something amiss. Verifying they are real with local law enforcement he begins to dig in to what turns out to be a dark underbelly of life in Daybreak, which causes him no small stress as signs begin to point toward BRADLEY GIBBONS, Victoria's father, as a possible culprit. This puts a severe damper on their budding relationship.

As Logan continues to dig Victoria comes to terms with her father's potential involvement and begins to assist him. After a guilt-wracked Orson confesses a startling secret about the local sheriff to Logan things look like they are finally coming together, when Logan is attacked out of the blue by the real murderer.

Описание: The 1940s is a lost decade in horror cinema, undervalued and written out of most horror scholarship. This book deconstructs persistent scholarly discourse by re-evaluating the historical, political, economic, and cultural factors of 1940s horror cinema to recover a decade of horror.

Описание: British consul general to Hong Kong, Finley Hughes, is at a crossroads. The streets of Hong Kong are awash in protest and Finley is about to play a diplomatic trump card against Beijing that will force the Chinese leadership to back off the city state's internal politics. Meanwhile, Finley's journalist brother, Jack, a covert SIS informant, and their godfather, Theo, the head of MI6, have been made aware of a plot against Finley's life. When Jack dies suddenly on assignment in Mexico, Finley is forced to leave Hong Kong to grieve with his estranged sister in the south of France, where Jack kept a small villa. Danger follows. While they reconnect over their brother's passing, Theo scrambles to locate Finley's soon-to-be assassin. Time is ticking and it becomes readily apparent that everyone is playing an angle, not everyone is who they say they are, and not everything is as it seems.

A 2017 RT Reviewer's Choice Nominee for Best Historical Fiction Novel

Featured on Elle.com

Dukes's gripping historical novel tells the tale of a desperate Albanian woman who will do whatever it takes to keep her independence and seize control of her future...even if it means swearing to remain a virgin for her entire life.

When eighteen-year-old Eleanora's father is shot dead on the cobblestone streets of 1910 Albania, Eleanora must abandon her dream of studying art in Italy as she struggles to survive in a remote mountain village with her stepmother Meria.

Nearing starvation, Meria secretly sells Eleanora into marriage with the cruel heir of a powerful clan. Intent on keeping her freedom, Eleanora takes an oath to remain a virgin for the rest of her life--a tradition that gives her the right to live as a man: she is now head of her household and can work for a living as well as carry a gun. Eleanora can also participate in the vengeful blood feuds that consume the mountain tribes, but she may not be killed--unless she forsakes her vow, which she has no intention of ever doing.

But when an injured stranger stumbles into her life, Eleanora nurses him back to health, saving his life--yet risking her own as she falls in love with him...

"It's hard to believe that the culture Dukes describes was ever real, but the amount of research she put into this book definitely shines through. The story remains fascinating throughout; readers will definitely find it difficult to put this novel down."--San Francisco Book Review

Описание: Although ostensibly presented as "light entertainment," the work of writer-director-producer Joss Whedon takes much dark inspiration from the horror genre to create a unique aesthetic and perform a cultural critique. Featuring monsters, the undead, as well as drawing upon folklore and fairy tales, his many productions both celebrate and masterfully repurpose the traditions of horror for their own means. Woofter and Jowett's collection looks at how Whedon revisits existing feminist tropes in the '70s and '80s "slasher" craze via Buffy the Vampire Slayer to create a feminist saga; the innovative use of silent cinema tropes to produce a new fear-laden, film-television intertext; postmodernist reflexivity in Cabin in the Woods; as well as exploring new concepts on "cosmic dread" and the sublime for a richer understanding of programmes Dollhouse and Firefly. Chapters provide the historical context of horror as well as the particular production backgrounds that by turns support, constrain or transform this mode of filmmaking. Informed by a wide range of theory from within philosophy, film studies, queer studies, psychoanalysis, feminism and other fields, the expert contributions to this volume prove the enduring relevance of Whedon's genre-based universe to the study of film, television, popular culture and beyond.

Описание: We often learn our most important lessons when we are challenged by something that removes us from our comfort zone. Sometimes we, as adults, find ourselves open to growth while struggling with events that are happening directly to us, but growth can also occur while viewing challenges through the eyes of others. All of us have been affected by the Covid-19 pandemic in unique yet similar ways. As difficult as it has been for adults, children have been impacted as well, viewing the pandemic through a different lens. They have been forced to accept a new reality, both in and out of school. However, it can also open a door to growth in ways we did not anticipate. Seeing the ways their peers cope with changes in their own lives can provide new and eye-opening insights on how to meet their own challenges. This insight may enable them to develop a sense of empathy and kindness. This is a heart-warming tale about a little boy with a big heart who learns some important life lessons. Against the backdrop of the Covid-19 pandemic, he comes to see that not everyone is as fortunate as him and his family. He also learns the lesson that in giving, we also receive...and that giving, when you have, or when you make, the opportunity, often gives us a feeling of warmth and home.
