Book Synopsis In Search of Mary Shelley by : Fiona Sampson
Download or read book In Search of Mary Shelley written by Fiona Sampson and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2018-06-05 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We know the facts of Mary Shelley’s life in some detail—the death of her mother, Mary Wollstonecraft, within days of her birth; the upbringing in the house of her father, William Godwin, in a house full of radical thinkers, poets, philosophers, and writers; her elopement, at the age of seventeen, with Percy Shelley; the years of peripatetic travel across Europe that followed. But there has been no literary biography written this century, and previous books have ignored the real person—what she actually thought and felt and why she did what she did—despite the fact that Mary and her group of second-generation Romantics were extremely interested in the psychological aspect of life.In this probing narrative, Fiona Sampson pursues Mary Shelley through her turbulent life, much as Victor Frankenstein tracked his monster across the arctic wastes. Sampson has written a book that finally answers the question of how it was that a nineteen-year-old came to write a novel so dark, mysterious, anguished, and psychologically astute that it continues to resonate two centuries later. No previous biographer has ever truly considered this question, let alone answered it.
Book Synopsis Daughters of Frankenstein by : Steve Berman
Download or read book Daughters of Frankenstein written by Steve Berman and published by . This book was released on 2015-08 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the field of mad science, women have for too long been ignored, their triumphs misattributed to mere men. Society has seen the laboratory as the province of men. Jacob's Ladder electric arcs, death rays, even test tubes have phallic connotations, subliminally reinforcing the patriarchy. The mother of Mary Shelley, author of Frankenstein, advocated that women appear more masculine to earn respect. If Marie Curie had been allowed to develop her Atomic Gendarmerie for the Institut du radium, surely she would have been awarded her third Nobel Prize, for Peace. Thankfully, the women working to dangerous and/or questionable ends in the pages of Daughters of Frankenstein are unafraid of the patriarchy--indeed, as lesbian mad scientists, they prefer the company and comforts of their own gender. Androids? Pfeh, the gynoid is superior. Etheric dynamos have a more pleasing design, one that is vulvar, than Tesla coils. Eighteen imaginative, if not insane, women; eighteen stories told by some of the finest writers working in queer speculative fiction: Traci Castleberry, Sean Eads, Gemma Files, Amy Griswold, and Melissa Scott.

Download or read book Frankenstein written by Mary Shelley and published by Restless Books. This book was released on 2016-06-14 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A towering masterpiece of gothic fiction, Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein: or, the Modern Prometheus brought to life the horror and science fiction genres and spawned countless cultural offspring. With the image of the stumbling, flat-headed, boltnecked monster Boris Karloff made famous so pervasive, it’s easy to forget how radical, insightful—and, yes, terrifying—the book is on its own terms. The would-be Prometheus of the book’s title is the brilliant Swiss scientist Victor Frankenstein, whose studies in natural philosophy and chemistry lead him to become obsessed with building a being out of old body parts and bringing it to life. But when he is miraculously successful, Victor is horrified at his creation, and the monster escapes into the night. Given life but little else, Frankenstein’s creation turns to violence and, soon enough, vengeance upon his creator. Frankenstein is the second book in the Restless Classics series: interactive encounters with great books and inspired teachers. Each Restless Classic is beautifully designed with original artwork, a new introduction for a general audience, and a video teaching series and live online book club discussions led by passionate experts, bringing the classroom experience back to the reader.

Download or read book The Gorehound's Guide to Splatter Films of the 1960s and 1970s written by Scott Aaron Stine and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-11-20 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the uninitiated the author has obligingly supplied a definition for the slasher/splatter film: "Any motion picture which contains scenes of extreme violence in graphic and grisly detail...." For those film viewers who think this is a good thing and are more likely to select The Texas Chainsaw Massacre than The Remains of the Day, or for those who are not quite sure but are nevertheless drawn to the phantasmagoric, or for those horrified by gratuitous violence and blood for blood's sake but are researching this filmic phenomenon, this reference book provides all the gory details. From At Midnight I'll Take Your Soul Away to Zombie 2: The Dead Are Among Us, this book is an exhaustive study of the splatter films of the 1960s and 1970s. After a history of the development of the genre, the main meat of the book is a filmography. Each entry includes extensive credits, alternate names and foreign release titles; availability of the film on videocassette; availability of soundtracks and film novelization; and reviews. Extensive cross-referencing is also included.

Download or read book Winworld written by Dick Upson and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2001-05-07 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a Twenty First Century detective in the Republic of Vegas, Joe Nazzarino's typical assignments involve breaking up non-government sanctioned gambling and other forms of unconstitutional betting. When Vegas ruler and talk show host Prezzy Dent offers him a brand new body in exchange for tracking a fugitive, Nazzarino jumps at the chance. Not only does he have the chance to discard his century old skin for that of a twenty five year old, but he also gets an all expenses paid trip to Winworld, the renowned gaming theme park on the moon. The detective's mission is to track down renegade Vegas courtier John Baptista, who has apparently stolen the dreaded Lotto virus, an ancient CD capable of disrupting the electronic games of chance that Vegas' economy depends on. As Joe Nazzarino tracks John Baptista through Malltown, Aqualand, Attitude City and the other lunar parks, he arouses the suspicions of the mysterious Tribe, the rulers of Winworld, a race of halfbreeds who represent a race created by the union of the Native American tribes with the Mafia. He risks becoming a social outcast by falling in love with Mary, his assigned Leisure Lover, who is both an Afrab and a clone. Nazzarino is surprised to find himself starting to admire Baptista, and the two men develop a friendship, leading to the truth about the alleged thief as a leader of the Casino Orphans. This terrorist group is composed of orphans whose parents abandoned them in casinos, dedicated to the destruction of gambling in all its forms. Joe Nazzarino finds himself in a race against time, desperately trying to get off the doomed planet with his beloved Mary before the orphans carry out their final revenge.
Book Synopsis The Lady and Her Monsters by : Roseanne Montillo

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Lady and Her Monsters by Roseanne Motillo brings to life the fascinating times, startling science, and real-life horrors behind Mary Shelley’s gothic masterpiece, Frankenstein.

With true-life tales of grave robbers, ghoulish experiments, and the ultimate in macabre research—human reanimation—The Lady and Her Monsters is a brilliant exploration of the creation of Frankenstein, Mary Shelley’s horror classic.
