This book was released on 2010-04-08 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores multiple dimensions of prophetic texts and their violent rhetoric, providing a rich and engaging discussion of violent images not only in prophetic texts and in ancient Near Eastern art but also in modern film and receptions of prophetic texts. The volume addresses questions that are at once ancient and distressingly-modern: What do violent images do to us? Do they encourage violent behavior and/or provide an alternative to actual violence? How do depictions of violence define boundaries between and within communities? What readers can and should readers make of the disturbing rhetoric of violent prophets? Contributors include Corrine Carvahlo, Cynthia Chapman, Chris Franke, Bob Haak, Mary Mills, Julia O'Brien, Kathleen O'Connor, Carolyn Sharp, Yvonne Sherwood, and Daniel Smith-Christopher.
Download or read book Teeth written by Ellen Datlow and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2011-04-05 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first bite is only the beginning. Twenty of today's favorite writers explore the intersections between the living, dead, and undead. Their vampire tales range from romantic to chilling to gleeful—and touch on nearly every emotion in between. Neil Gaiman's vampire-poet in "Bloody Sunrise" is brooding, remorseful, and lonely. Melissa Marr's vampires make a high-stakes game of possession and seduction in "Transition." And in "Why Light?" Tanith Lee's lovelorn vampires yearn most of all for the one thing they cannot have—daylight. Drawn from folk traditions around the world, popular culture, and original interpretations, the vampires in this collection are enticingly diverse. But reader beware: The one thing they have in common is their desire for blood. . . .

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After morphing into 187 very large white rats in the name of self-preservation, Jules Duchon is back to his portly self, a member of that secret class of New Orleans citizens known as the undead. Though he would like nothing better than to spend his nights raising hell and biting flesh in his beloved French Quarter, duty calls when an exclusive club of blue blood vampires demands that the 450-pound cabbie find out who is attacking its young and beautiful members. Adding insult to injury, he has to enlist the help of a former foe: a black vampire named Preston. What’s a vampire to do? Without the love of a woman to ease his pain, Jules isn’t convinced that his undead life is worth living. He doesn’t desire Doodlebug (she may be a woman now but Jules knew her back when she was just a boy) any more than he longs for Daphne, a rat catcher who nourishes a crush the size of Jules. No, only Maureen will do. Once a beautiful stripper with nothing but curve after curve to her bodacious body, now she is mere dust in a jar. But Jules will move heaven and earth to get her back . . . even if it means pulling her back from the dead.

Book Synopsis Dreams, Vampires and Ghosts by : Louise Child
Download or read book Dreams, Vampires and Ghosts written by Louise Child and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2023-07-13 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing from social theory and the anthropology of religion, this book explores popular media's fascination with dreams, vampires, demons, ghosts and spirits. Dreams, Vampires and Ghosts does so in the light of contemporary animist studies of societies in which other-than-human persons are not merely a source of entertainment, but a lived social reality. Films and television programs explored include Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Twin Peaks, Bram Stoker's Dracula, Truly Madly Deeply and the films of Hitchcock. Louise Child draws attention to how they both depict and challenge ideas and practices rooted in psychology, while quality television has also facilitated a wave of programming that can explore the interaction of characters in complex social worlds over time. In addition to drawing on theories of film from Freudian psychology and feminist theory, Dreams, Vampires and Ghosts uses approaches derived from a combination of Jungian film studies and anthropology that offer fresh insights for exploring film and television. This book draws attention to explicit and subtle ways in which cinematic narratives engage with myth and religion while at the same time exploring collective dimensions to social and personal life. It advances new developments in genre studies and gender as well as contributing to the growing field of implicit religion using in-depth analyses of communicative dreaming, the shadow, and mystical lovers in film and television.

As they unravel the chilling truths shrouded in the supernatural, George stands at a crossroads, torn between his evolution as a werewolf and the encroaching darkness. Guided by Ellena, he must untangle the mysterious connections between the historic village, her family's past, and the manipulative ADI Locke, seemingly steering them toward imminent peril. Together, they confront centuries-old vampires lurking in the shadows and an 'elder' hell-bent on unleashing terror and blood upon the streets. George's immersion into this hidden world has been a baptism by fire, plunging him into a tormented darkness of sin. As they unearth more haunting secrets and delve into the horrors of a concealed past, their burgeoning love story faces an ominous threat that chills George to the core. But he refuses to surrender without a fight, especially after being granted a second chance at love. Prepare for an electrifying journey into the heart of darkness, where supernatural horror, suspense, and spine-tingling twists collide. Detective Reynolds, armed with a determination to solve a 300-year-old murder, must navigate a treacherous path, questioning the very fabric of reality.

Book Synopsis Tori Amos's Boys for Pele by : Amy Gentry
Download or read book Tori Amos's Boys for Pele written by Amy Gentry and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2018-11-01 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's hard to think of a solo female recording artist who has been as revered or as reviled over the course of her career as Tori Amos. Amy Gentry argues that these violent aesthetic responses to Amos's performance, both positive and negative, are organized around disgust-the disgust that women are taught to feel, not only for their own bodies, but for their taste in music. Released in 1996, Amos's third album, Boys for Pele, represents the height of Amos's willingness to explore the ugly qualities that make all of her music, even her more conventionally beautiful albums, so uncomfortably, and so wonderfully, strange. Using a blend of memoir, criticism, and aesthetic theory, Gentry argues that the aesthetics of disgust are useful for thinking in a broader way about women's experience of all art forms.
