Book excerpt: Grace Richardson is a young mortal woman whose only concerns are providing for her family, playing her violin, and spending as much time as possible with her brother, Leo. When Leo goes into service in the Fae’s world as a mercenary, she expects him to return with the honor that he deserves. When Leo suddenly dies in an unspecified accident, not a word, medal, or penny comes down from the higher-ups. Suspecting foul play, Grace disguises herself as a Fae and sneaks into the Upper Realm to get some answers. She anticipates being in way over her head, but the Fae soldier who discovers her true identity only a day in? Not so much. Now Grace is forced to drag Aiden along as she tries to work out exactly how and why her brother died. Along the way, she has no choice but to confront her prejudices against the Fae as she attempts to sort out the difference between the honest and the dishonest. Political conspiracies, demon realm escapades, and family secrets will all lead Grace to the answers she’s looking for… and some that she isn’t. Join the adventure in Chasing Fae, Book 1 of the Chasing Fae Trilogy!
Download or read book Chasing The Past written by Cady Hammer and published by Black Lily Press. This book was released on 2021-03-24 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story began with a young woman, a terrible loss, and a great secret lurking under the surface of the Three Realms. Now, readers will discover the stories of the family members who affected Grace Richardson’s past, present, and future. From the universe of the Chasing Fae Trilogy comes three short stories that capture crucial characters in Grace Richardson’s life and the events that led up to the beginning of the trilogy. In A Chance Meeting, Amelia Richardson, Grace’s future mother, meets Alexander Faelie, Grace’s future father, for the first time during one of his escapes from the Fae Upper Realm to the mortal Middle Realm. She works to teach him the joy of art and creation and learns a little bit about seizing life herself. In Taking My Place, Elise, Alexander’s future wife, finds herself meeting this future High Lord several times throughout their lives. And though she may not seem like she has a chance of marriage with so many other wealthy daughters throwing themselves at Alexander, she intends to take her place in the House of the Evening no matter who gets in her way — as High Lady. In Coming To Terms, Grace’s half-brother Neil has lived his entire life never having to compete for anything, whether it be the House of the Evening’s heirship, his family’s love, or the respect of the people. But when his father brings home a bastard daughter to take over his crown, his entire world gets thrown into a tailspin. Chasing The Past expands readers’ knowledge of the Three Realms and the people who crossed Grace’s path with the same strong women and powerful family themes that Cady Hammer is known for.

He keeps making nice with her best friend, Kristy, and discussing academic and logic puzzles like he hasn’t spent the last three years goofing off in all of his classes. On top of that, when Kai and Kristy are forced to stay behind after a Sphinx’s riddle goes awry, he has the gall to trust her and follow her judgment completely during a dangerous situation. But whenever she tries to have a basic conversation, he blows her off and avoids her like the plague. Well, as much as one can be avoided while being forced together in a maze. As she tries to peel away Ash’s layers to find the truth underneath, Brianna finds herself facing her own secrets that she has tried so hard to bury.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kristy Fitzpatrick just can’t catch a break. As a mortal in a magical world, she often feels disconnected from the rest of her mystical, more exciting classmates. The only thing that she has to compete with in the classroom is her mind. But even for a magical being like her impulsive naiad best friend, Brianna, life is far from stable. Centuries ago, when a fully formed labyrinth sprang from the ocean, the magic emanating from its ivy walls caused all kinds of devastating magical consequences that affect the planet every year from magical instability in beings all over the world to chaotic natural disasters. Every year, four high school students are chosen to enter the labyrinth and try to break its hold on the world by solving a series of complex riddles and challenges. Most never come out. But when Kristy’s school is selected as the home of the next four students, despite her lack of choice in the matter, she sees an opportunity to do something that no other student has managed to do so far: survive the labyrinth. In Volume 1 of this Hunger Games-meets-Maze Runner high fantasy story from Kindle Vella and Radish, Kristy is about to learn whether her mind and body are up to the task. Because somehow, as she tests her own limitations, the Labyrinth is learning how to best her and her companions. There is no telling what kind of obstacles could come next.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until it was pulled down, the Walled City was Hong Kong's most foreboding territory. It was a lawless place, dominated by the Triads, and which the police hesitated to enter. Strangers were unwelcome. Drug smuggling and heroin addiction flourished, as did prostitution and pornography, extortion and fear. When Jackie Pullinger set sail from England in 1966 she had no idea that God was calling her to the Walled City. Yet, as she spoke of Jesus Christ, brutal Triad gangsters were converted, prostitutes quit, and Jackie discovered a new treatment for drug addiction: baptism in the Holy Spirit.
Download or read book Girl Head written by Genevieve Yue and published by Fordham University Press. This book was released on 2020-11-10 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Girl Head shows how gender has had a surprising and persistent role in film production processes, well before the image ever appears onscreen. For decades, feminist film criticism has focused on issues of representation: images of women in film. But what are the feminist implications of the material object underlying that image, the filmstrip itself? What does feminist analysis have to offer in understanding the film image before it enters the realm of representation? Girl Head explores how gender and sexual difference have been deeply embedded within film materiality. In rich archival and technical detail, Yue examines three sites of technical film production: the film laboratory, editing practices, and the film archive. Within each site, she locates a common motif, the vanishing female body, which is transformed into material to be used in the making of a film. The book develops a theory of gender and film materiality through readings of narrative film, early cinema, experimental film, and moving image art. This original work of feminist media history shows how gender has had a persistent role in film production processes, well before the image ever appears onscreen.
Book Synopsis Realisms in Contemporary Culture by : Dorothee Birke
Download or read book Realisms in Contemporary Culture written by Dorothee Birke and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2013-08-01 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘Realism’ is a pervasive term in discussions of contemporary developments in the cultural sphere. By drawing on different theories of realism, the authors explore how the term may be used as a helpful concept in order to analyse and evaluate current trends in cultural production and, in turn, how cultural production changes our understanding of what counts as ‘realism’. The contributions deal with realism in narrative fiction, drama and audiovisual media (film, television news) within the context of national traditions: examples drawn on in the case studies range from Africa, Britain, Germany, Iceland, Russia, Turkey to the United States. While the authors take their cues from media-specific ‘realisms’, focusing especially on narrative fiction, the volume also highlights continuities and intersections between notions of realism in different genres and media. With its original essays, this collection invigorates the transdisciplinary engagement with forms and socio-political functions of realism in contemporary culture.
Book Synopsis Classical Projections by : Eleni Palis
Download or read book Classical Projections written by Eleni Palis and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2022-02-02 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quotations are a standard way that the humanities make meaning; the pull-quote, epigraph, and quotation are standard for citing evidence and invoking and interrogating authority in both literary and scholarly writing. However, film studies has yet to seriously examine how moving images can quote one another, convening interaction and creating new knowledge across time. Classical Projections offers film quotation as a new concept for understanding how preexisting moving image fragments are reframed and re-viewed within subsequent films. As a visual corollary to literary quotation, film quotations embed film fragments in on-screen movie screens. Though film quotations have appeared since silent cinema, Classical Projections focuses on quotations of classical Hollywood film--mainstream American studio production, 1915-1950--as quoted in post-classical Hollywood, roughly 1960 to present. This strategic historical frame asks: how does post-classical cinema visualize its awareness of coming after a classical or golden age? How do post-classical filmmakers claim or disavow classical history? How do historically disenfranchised post-classical filmmakers, whether by gender, sexuality, or race, grapple with exclusionary and stereotype-ridden canons? As a constitutive element of post-classical authorship, film quotations amass and manufacture classical Hollywood in retrospective, highly strategic ways. By revealing how quotational tellings of film history build and embolden exclusionary, myopic canons, Classical Projections uncovers opportunities to construct more capacious cultural memory.

Book excerpt: "“We’re going to own you.” “We’re going to break you.” “When we’re through with you, you won’t remember life before you were ours.” That’s what they whisper as I pass their cells. Ha. Guess what bastardos? I’m Rosalie Oscura, champion underground cage-fighter and freaking Alpha Werewolf from the infamous Oscura Clan. My family wrote the book on criminal organisations and I’ll be ruling this place by the time the next moon rises. Papà always said my hot head would land me in here one day. The supernatural prison they call Darkmore Penitentiary. Where they send the cruellest, most dangerous Fae in Solaria. Like me apparently. So maybe I deserve to be in prison, but do you want to know a secret? I planned to get sent to Darkmore Penitentiary. I’ve come to break out the most notorious criminal in Solaria. The trouble is, I need the help of the four Alpha males to get out of here. And they happen to hate each other almost as much as they hate me. But I always did love a challenge. How hard could it be to make them accept me as their leader?" -- Back cover.
Book Synopsis Slavery and the Post-Black Imagination by : Bertram D. Ashe
Download or read book Slavery and the Post-Black Imagination written by Bertram D. Ashe and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2020-01-06 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Kara Walker’s hellscape antebellum silhouettes to Paul Beatty’s bizarre twist on slavery in The Sellout and from Colson Whitehead’s literal Underground Railroad to Jordan Peele’s body-snatching Get Out, this volume offers commentary on contemporary artistic works that present, like musical deep cuts, some challenging “alternate takes” on American slavery. These artists deliberately confront and negotiate the psychic and representational legacies of slavery to imagine possibilities and change. The essays in this volume explore the conceptions of freedom and blackness that undergird these narratives, critically examining how artists growing up in the post–Civil Rights era have nuanced slavery in a way that is distinctly different from the first wave of neo-slave narratives that emerged from the Civil Rights and Black Power Movements. Slavery and the Post-Black Imagination positions post-blackness as a productive category of analysis that brings into sharp focus recent developments in black cultural productions across various media. These ten essays investigate how millennial black cultural productions trouble long-held notions of blackness by challenging limiting scripts. They interrogate political as well as formal interventions into established discourses to demonstrate how explorations of black identities frequently go hand in hand with the purposeful refiguring of slavery’s prevailing tropes, narratives, and images.
