Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Horrifying Children examines weird and eerie children's television and literature via critical analysis, memoir and autoethnography. There has been an explosion of interest in the impact of children's television and literature of the late twentieth century. In particular, the 1970s, '80s and '90s are seen as decades that shaped a great deal of the contemporary cultural landscape. Television of this period dominated the world of childhood entertainment, drawing freely upon literature and popular culture, like the Garbage Pail Kids and Stranger Things, and much of it continues to resonate powerfully with the generation of cultural producers (fiction writers, screenwriters, directors, musicians and artists) that grew up watching the weird, the eerie and the horrific: the essence of 21st-century Hauntology. In these terms this book is not about children's television as it exists now, but rather as it features as a facet of memory in the 21st century. As such it is the legacy of these television programmes that is at the core of Horrifying Children. The 'haunting' of adults by what we have seen on the screen is crucial to the study. This collection directly addresses that which 'scared us' in the past insomuch as there is a correlation between individual and collective cultural memory, with some chapters providing an opportunity for situating existing explorations and understandings of Gothic and Horror TV within a hauntological and experiential framework.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most intriguing questions of our time is how some of the masterpieces of modernity originated in a country in which personal liberty and democracy were slow to emerge. This Companion provides an authoritative account of modern German culture since the onset of industrialisation, the rise of mass society and the nation state. Newly written and researched by experts in their respective fields, individual chapters trace developments in German culture - including national identity, class, Jews in German society, minorities and women, the functions of folk and mass culture, poetry, drama, theatre, dance, music, art, architecture, cinema and mass media - from the nineteenth century to the present. Guidance is given for further reading and a chronology is provided. In its totality the Companion shows how the political and social processes that shaped modern Germany are intertwined with cultural genres and their agendas of creative expression.

Download or read book The Neverending Narcissist written by Jack Henson and published by Magus Books. This book was released on with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Narcissists are the strangest creatures. They are the people of arrested development. The key to understanding these monsters is to grasp that they simply didn't grow up. They are emotionally stunted. They were so emotionally traumatized in childhood that they never left it. Children resort to childish fantasies and infantile psychological defense mechanisms to shore up their fragile, inchoate sense of self. A normal person grows up and moves on from childish things. Narcissists don't. They're stuck. Their mind emotionally freezes at the age of a toddler. Can you imagine? Probably not. It's too disturbing. It’s too weird. Narcissism is the condition of a child’s self in an adult’s body. It’s about people who were unable to psychologically transition from childhood to adulthood. A narcissist grows up physically and intellectually, but his emotions and core psychological defense mechanisms remain those of a child. When you meet these people, you of course assume you are dealing with an adult, but you're not. The narcissist is the eternal child. He's a fantasist. He has no emotional sophistication. The Narc engages in something called splitting. He considers himself "all good" and anyone who challenges him in any way "all bad". Because that's how children see the world. They don't do nuance. Here's the quickest way to identify a narcissist – ask them what their favorite movie is. An adult will of course choose an adult movie. A narcissist will choose a children's movie – because that reflects their emotional age and they love childish fantasies. One movie narcissists love is The NeverEnding Story – because it's about a bullied boy who becomes the Special One, the Savior. That's how all narcissists see themselves. Another tale of narcissism is The Emperor's New Clothes. And have you ever heard of the Singing Ringing Tree? That's about a narcissist being cured. It must be a fairytale because narcissists can't be cured. Narcissism is a lifelong condition. Every Narcissist is a Peter Pan. But only emotionally. A seventy-year-old narcissist looks seventy years old, but he still has the emotional age of a toddler, a fantasist. Narcissists will meet their deaths as children trapped in adult bodies, and what could be more horrifying than that? Narcissists have a disproportionate effect on the world, and it’s largely because their childish behavior is regarded as “magical” by many people. This is black magic!

Download or read book Once Upon a Time written by Marina Warner and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2014-10-23 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From wicked queens, beautiful princesses, elves, monsters, and goblins to giants, glass slippers, poisoned apples, magic keys, and mirrors, the characters and images of fairy tales have cast a spell over readers and audiences, both adults and children, for centuries. These fantastic stories have travelled across cultural borders, and been passed on from generation to generation, ever-changing, renewed with each re-telling. Few forms of literature have greater power to enchant us and rekindle our imagination than a fairy tale. But what is a fairy tale? Where do they come from and what do they mean? What do they try and communicate to us about morality, sexuality, and society? The range of fairy tales stretches across great distances and time; their history is entangled with folklore and myth, and their inspiration draws on ideas about nature and the supernatural, imagination and fantasy, psychoanalysis, and feminism. Marina Warner has loved fairy tales over a long writing life, and she explores here a multitude of tales through the ages, their different manifestations on the page, the stage, and the screen. From the phenomenal rise of Victorian and Edwardian literature to contemporary children's stories, Warner unfolds a glittering array of examples, from classics such as Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, and The Sleeping Beauty, the Grimm Brothers' Hansel and Gretel, and Hans Andersen's The Little Mermaid, to modern-day realizations including Walt Disney's Snow White and gothic interpretations such as Pan's Labyrinth. In ten succinct chapters, Marina Warner digs into a rich hoard of fairy tales in their brilliant and fantastical variations, in order to define a genre and evaluate a literary form that keeps shifting through time and history. Her book makes a persuasive case for fairy tale as a crucial repository of human understanding and culture.

Book excerpt: The Claret Pals are just an ordinary group of Burnley FC supporters who meet up at a pub before every away fixture to eat, drink and sing raucous football songs. However, a series of sickeningly gruesome murders begins occurring close to the pubs they’re meeting in, and the killer is leaving clues seemingly trying to frame the group. With the evidence piling up, the police begin looking closely at The Claret Pals, assuming that the killer must be one of them. Members of the group decide to take matters into their own hands. With time running out, they desperately begin piecing together a puzzle that becomes more complicated. They need to act swiftly because, unknown to them, the killer has shifted their sights, and The Claret Pals are in the centre of the crosshairs. Will they solve the puzzle and prevent the killer striking against them? Or is it already too late?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'I don't remember yesterday. It's a lie, of course. What I mean is, I remember so very little.' A broken man meets the woman he has been searching for all his life but loses her in someone else's past. Is she gone forever, or can he find her again? And can she save him? A story of redemption and rebirth, and of a half-forgotten history. The debut novel by Peter Hey travels back from modern day London to the bleak moors of industrial Lancashire around the time of the First World War. The story weaves compellingly as the lead character, Tom Haworth, seeks to explain his seemingly delusional world spanning two lives and a hundred years. Inspired by a gravestone in a remote Pennine cemetery, this story had been nagging at the author for over a decade. Eventually he gave in.
