Book Synopsis Treat or Trick? Halloween in a Globalising World by : Malcolm Foley
Download or read book Treat or Trick? Halloween in a Globalising World written by Malcolm Foley and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2008-12-18 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1999 the French bishops condemned the celebration of Halloween in France. In 2003 the Moscow Department of Education recommended the banning of Halloween celebrations in all educational institutions under its control. In 2008 a group of Catalan intellectuals launched an internet petition against the Halloween celebrations organised by the Port Aventura theme park, arguing that they were detrimental to long-standing Catalan traditions associated with 31 October. In the meantime children and young people all over Europe—and increasingly adults—are energetically adopting and adapting the American version of Halloween as a source of fun, community building and general revelry. So are we all being tricked by rampant cultural imperialism, or responding creatively to the arrival of Halloween as a welcome onset-of-winter treat? This book, which arose out of the first-ever conference on the topic of Halloween held in Glasgow, Scotland, on 31 October 2006, brings together a series of studies examining the phenomenon of Halloween from a wide range of perspectives: its origins; the ways in which it is now and has been in the past celebrated in the British Isles; its spectacular arrival in both Eastern and Western Europe over the last two decades; its links with tourism; and its multifaceted presence in the media. What emerges is a phenomenon of astonishing complexity, characterised by multiple meanings and intense battles over ownership.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stand back! The tales in this raunchy round-the-world romp might get you dirty. We've all had unspeakable experiences while traveling that we're ashamed to admit, but these often become our best stories in the retelling. The writers in this collection cast inhibition aside and reveal their weirdest and worst moments and how they made the best of them. And memorable moments in exotic destinations come in all shapes and sizes: insects as big as Pam Anderson’s left tit, regrettable sex, stink-eyed officials, horrible healers, Lady Gaga’s shoes and Madonna’s special meal, trigger-happy militants, and peeping Tom rock stars. Adventure vicariously as: Spud Hilton (not Monty Python) finds the Holy Grail by accident. Meghan Ward squats, and then the toilet grunts back, in Goa. Kasha Rigby proved how tough she is on National Geographic’s Ultimate Survival Alaska, but is she a match for a 90-year-old bone breaker in Guatemala?

Jabba-the-Turd versus Shannon Bradford in an epic showdown in Argentina. And many more….
Book Synopsis The Dracula Dilemma by : Duncan Light
Download or read book The Dracula Dilemma written by Duncan Light and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-23 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many in the West, Romania is synonymous with Count Dracula. Since the publication of Bram Stoker's famous novel in 1897 Transylvania (and by extension, Romania) has become inseparable in the Western imagination with Dracula, vampires and the supernatural. Moreover, since the late 1960s Western tourists have travelled to Transylvania on their own searches for the literary and supernatural roots of the Dracula myth. Such 'Dracula tourism' presents Romania with a dilemma. On one hand, Dracula is Romania's unique selling point and has considerable potential to be exploited for economic gain. On the other hand, the whole notion of vampires and the supernatural is starkly at odds with Romania's self-image as a modern, developed, European state. This book examines the way that Romania has negotiated Dracula tourism over the past four decades. During the communist period (up to 1989) the Romanian state did almost nothing to encourage such tourism but reluctantly tolerated it. However, some discrete local initiatives were developed to cater for Dracula enthusiasts that operated at the margins of legality in a communist state. In the post-communist period (after 1989) any attempt to censor Dracula has disappeared and the private sector in Romania has been swift to exploit the commercial possibilities of the Count. However, the Romanian state remains ambivalent about Dracula and continues to be reluctant to encourage or promote Dracula tourism. As such Romania's dilemma with Dracula remains unresolved.

Book excerpt: The doctor said something in Russian and the translator translated." I am told you did not eat your breakfast. Are you feeling sick to your stomach?" "No. I feel fine. I feel great. I just don't like Kasha," The doctor came over to me and said "aw." I stuck out my tongue to show her how great my throat was now. She made a hmmm noise and wrote on her chart. The nurse produced a thermometer. "Roll over," the translator said." The doctor needs to take your temperature." They had me trapped. I hated them all. I rolled over. My frilly bloomers were pulled down. The thermometer was freezing. I lay there in full view with a thermometer sticking out of my bum. The Russian girl in the next bed was looking at me. I heard people in the hall. People came in and out of the room. How many people did this have to involve? How many people needed to look at my bare bum with a thermometer sticking out of it? I hated the girl staring at me. I put my face down in the pillow. Maybe I'd suffocate and die. Normally I did not want to die, right now though it would have been better that way, better to die. Several minutes went by. It was quiet now. When was the nurse going to come back and read my temperature, which was going to be normal after all of this? I was fine. I waited. I waited. They must have forgotten about me. Jeepers Creepers! They forgot they were taking my temperature.

Book Synopsis The Haunted Halloween Party by : Drac Von Stoller
Download or read book The Haunted Halloween Party written by Drac Von Stoller and published by Drac Von Stoller. This book was released on 2024-09-09 with total page 11 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The crisp autumn air carried a hint of decay as the private jet touched down in Transylvania. Amber leaves swirled across the tarmac, their rustling a whisper of warning unheeded by the group of wealthy teenagers disembarking, their faces aglow with anticipation. This was to be the trip of a lifetime, a chance to explore the legendary land of Dracula and host the ultimate Halloween bash. Among them was Ethan Blackwood, his cocky grin and designer clothes a stark contrast to the ancient landscape surrounding them. He ran a hand through his perfectly styled hair, eyeing the crumbling castle in the distance with a mixture of excitement and disdain. "Can you believe this dump?" he sneered to his girlfriend, Mia Chen, who rolled her eyes in response. "It's not a dump, Ethan. It's history," she replied, her dark eyes sparkling with genuine enthusiasm. "That's Castle Dracula, the actual residence of Vlad the Impaler." Ethan's best friend, Jake Martinez, chimed in, slinging an arm around both of them. "Who cares about history? We're here to party!" The rest of their group gathered around – Olivia Thompson, the social media influencer already snapping selfies; twins Zoe and Chloe Anderson, giggling and whispering to each other; and finally, Alex Novak, the quiet outsider who had won this trip in a contest, looking overwhelmed by the extravagance surrounding him. As their luggage was loaded into waiting cars, Mia noticed Alex hanging back, his face pale. She approached him, concern etched on her features. "Hey, you okay?" Alex startled, then offered a weak smile. "Yeah, just... I've never been out of the country before. This is all a bit much." Mia's expression softened. "Don't worry, it'll be fun. Stick with me, okay?" As they made their way to the castle, none of them noticed the old woman watching from the shadows, her wrinkled face twisted in a grimace of foreboding. The drive to Castle Dracula was a winding journey through mist-shrouded forests and tiny villages that seemed frozen in time. As they approached their destination, the castle loomed before them, a jagged silhouette against the darkening sky. "Now this is what I'm talking about!" Ethan exclaimed, leaning out the window to get a better look. "We're gonna make this place rock!" The cars pulled up to the massive iron gates, which creaked open as if welcoming them to their doom. As they stepped out, a chill wind whipped through the courtyard, carrying with it the musty scent of age and decay. An elderly caretaker, his face a mass of wrinkles and his eyes clouded with cataracts, shuffled forward to greet them. "Welcome," he wheezed in heavily accented English. "I am Petru. I have prepared the castle as requested, but I must warn you – this is no place for merriment. The walls hold many dark secrets." Ethan scoffed, brushing past the old man. "Save the spooky stories, gramps. We've got a party to set up." As the group entered the castle, Alex hesitated, glancing back at Petru. The old man's milky eyes seemed to bore into him, and he shivered involuntarily before hurrying after the others. The interior of the castle was a maze of stone corridors and cavernous rooms. Despite Petru's preparations, a thick layer of dust coated every surface, and cobwebs clung to corners and chandeliers. The teenagers spread out, exploring their temporary domain with a mixture of awe and nervous excitement. Mia found herself drawn to the castle's extensive library, its shelves lined with ancient tomes. As she ran her fingers along the spines, she felt a spark of static electricity and jerked her hand back. For a moment, she could have sworn she saw a face peering at her from between the books – a pale, gaunt visage with eyes that glowed red in the dimness. She blinked, and it was gone. Meanwhile, Ethan and Jake had discovered the castle's wine cellar, its racks filled with bottles covered in a thick layer of dust and mold. "Jackpot!" Ethan crowed, grabbing a bottle and blowing off the dust. The label, barely legible, read "1462" – the year Vlad the Impaler had been born. "Dude, maybe we shouldn't," Jake said, suddenly uneasy. "That stuff's probably older than America."
