Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Set in rural Ireland in 1962, LAY ME DOWN SOFTLY takes us into the burlesque world of the boxing booth of Delaney's Travelling Roadshow, affectionately known as "The Academy". We dip down the shadowy, ropey avenues to the sound of the churning calliope, where we encounter the play's cast of dangerous characters: Theo, the charismatic, jealous, and violent ringmaster; his Carmen-esque lover, Lily; Peadas, Theo’s old, tired and not-so-trusted sidekick; the vain and boastful prize-fighter Dean; and the limping, Adonis-like Junior. Into this world comes Emer, a wounded waif of a girl who has come in search of her long-lost father. Her presence and the arrival of a professional boxer threaten to upset the already shaky equilibrium.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Angel working with a Demon to save Humanity. Micha is a half-Angel who had to fight for her rightful place in Heaven for seventy-nine years through degradation and prejudice and now has to race against time to stop a deadly beast’s rampage and trail a vicious target. Traitorous feelings and brutal truths create a dangerous mix in a realm filled with Angels, Demons, Fallen, and Humans. Micha is treading the line between traitor and savior while her relationships hang by a thread. Will her questionable feelings for a Demon stand in the way of her hunt, or will she be able to suppress them, as she did her whole life, and focus on working together to stop a realm-changing war? What do you say, wicked reader? Would you read a book about an insecure, anxiety-riddled, but still badass half-Angel and a devious, six-foot, dark Demon running through Athens to eliminate a threat to Humanity while bickering and possibly flirting? Forecast for Athens predicts sunshine with a chance of black shadows, forbidden relationships, and a sprinkle of … spice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a golden treasury of over one hundred English folktales captured in the form they were first collected in past centuries. Read these classic tales as they would have been told when storytelling was a living art – when the audience believed in boggarts and hobgoblins, local witches and will-o’-the-wisps, ghosts and giants, cunning foxes and royal frogs. Find “Jack the Giantkiller”, “Tom Tit Tot” and other quintessentially English favourites, alongside interesting borrowings, such as an English version of the Grimms’ “Little Snow White” – as well as bedtime frighteners, including “Captain Murderer”, as told to Charles Dickens by his childhood nurse. Neil Philip has provided a full introduction and source notes on each story that illustrate each tale’s journey from mouth to page, and what has happened to them on the way. These tales rank among the finest English short stories of all time in their richness of metaphor and plot and their great verbal dash and daring.

Book Synopsis The Retro-Futurism of Cuteness by : Jen Boyle
Download or read book The Retro-Futurism of Cuteness written by Jen Boyle and published by punctum books. This book was released on 2017-11-03 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is it possible to conceive of a Hello Kitty Middle Ages or a Tickle Me Elmo Renaissance? The Oxford English Dictionary dates the first reference to "cute" in the sense of "attractive, pretty, charming" to 1834. More recently, Sianne Ngai has offered a critical overview of the cuteness of the twentieth-century avant-garde within the context of consumer culture. But if cuteness can get under the skin, what kinds of surfaces does it best infiltrate, particularly in the framework of historical forms, events, and objects that traditionally have been read as emergences around "big" aesthetics of formal symmetries, high affects, and resemblances? The Retrofuturism of Cuteness seeks to undo the temporal strictures surrounding aesthetic and affective categories, to displace a strict focus on commodification and cuteness, and to interrogate how cuteness as a minor aesthetics can refocus our perceptions and readings of both premodern and modern media, literature, and culture. Taking seriously the retro and the futuristic temporalities of cuteness, this volume puts in conversation projects that have unearthed remnants of a "cult of cute"-positioned historically and critically in between transitions into secularization, capitalist frameworks of commodification, and the enchantment of objects-and those that have investigated the uncanny haunting of earlier aesthetics in future-oriented modes of cuteness. The Latin acutus, the etymological root of cute, embraces the sharpened, the pointed, the nimble, the discriminating, and the piercing. But as Michael O'Rourke notes, cuteness evokes a proximity that is at once potentially invasive and contaminating and yet softening and transfiguring. Deploying cuteness as a mode of inquiry across time, this volume opens up unexpected lines of inquiry and unusual critical and creative aporias, from Christian asceticism, medieval cycle drama, and Shakespeare to manga, Bollywood, and Second Life. The projects collected here point to a spectrum of aesthetic-affective assemblages related to racial, ethnic, gender, sexual, and class dimensions that exceed or trouble our contemporary perceptions of such registers within object-subject and subject-object entanglements.

One such land mass, Malvena, is split into quadrants called Phoenix Place, Hells Haven, Drakes Dungeon and the Old Orangery, all of which surround the archetypical hub of administration, the domed glassed biosphere that is Sphere City. The City is governed by the Annex, who amongst other things, censor any information passed to the dome's residents. All citizens of Malvena are born with a genetic abnormality such that none should survive past the age of 40, this is known as Fortitude. Ashton Boxall Jnr has been groomed for greatness within the Annex. However, he is uncovered by the Inquisitor, Vincent Meads, as an undesirable and sentenced to life in the penal quadrant Hells Haven. With the help of others, he escapes, to the prohibited areas of Malvena. Whilst being pursued by Meads, unearths many older civilisations thought to be extinct and the interaction between him, his fellow escapees and those they encounter, places them into a series of diverse and exhilarating situations. Their persistent struggles, ideals and complexities lead into the second book of this futuristic trilogy called SphereCity - The Edge of Civilisation.
