Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Dreadful Desires Charlie Yi Zhang examines how the Chinese state deploys affective notions of love to regulate the population and secure China’s place in the global economy. Zhang shows how the state frames love as a set of desires that encompass heteronormative intimacy, familial and communal attachment, upward mobility, and private property ownership. These desires—as circulated in performance in the nationalistic ceremony, same-sex romantic fan fiction, the wildly popular reality television dating show If You Are the One, and the cult of patriarchal personality around Xi Jinping—are explicitly based in oppressive systems of gender, class, and sexuality. Zhang contends that such desires connect love to economic survival and gender normativity in ways that underwrite Chinese neoliberalism at the expense of individual flourishing. By outlining how state-framed forms of love create desires that cannot be fulfilled, Zhang places China at the forefront of using affective attachments to nation, leader, and family in the global shifts toward exploitation and authoritarianism.

SEASON OF OWLS: DREADFUL DESIRES #1 Isabel's never believed in ghosts, though the screech of a desert owl still sends a shiver down her spine.

THE CONQUERING WORM: DREADFUL DESIRES #2 A wealthy orphan raised by her sinister uncle, Rose Pemberton's beauty and charm have always drawn more than her share of admirers. Hidden deep beneath the manor garden, however, lurks a different sort of suitor, a monstrous yet irresistible creature born out of her family's secret sins and intent upon claiming the young countess with its indecently snaking limbs and eager maws... DUE TO THE DEAD: DREADFUL DESIRES #3 Emily's always had a second sense when it comes to death, a gift that's isolated her from the world.

A night of grotesque passion awaits, a blasphemously erotic communion between the living and the dead...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to the popular maxim, a nation at war reveals its true character. In this incisive work, Chris Gilbert examines the long history of US war politics through the lens of political cartoons to provide new, unique insights into American cultural identity. Tracing the comic representation of American values from the First World War to the War on Terror, Gilbert explores the power of humor in caricature to expose both the folly in jingoistic virtues and the sometimes-strange fortune in nationalistic vices. He examines the artwork of four exemplary American cartoonists—James Montgomery Flagg, Dr. Seuss, Ollie Harrington, and Ann Telnaes—to craft a trenchant image of Americanism. These examinations animate the rhetorical, and indeed comic, force of icons like Uncle Sam, national symbols like the American Eagle, political stooges like President Donald J. Trump, and more, as well as the power of political cartoons to comment on issues of race, class, and gender on the home front. Throughout, Gilbert portrays a US culture rooted in and riven by ideas of manifest destiny, patriotism, and democracy for all, yet plagued by ugly forms of nationalism, misogyny, racism, and violence. Rich with examples of hilarious and masterfully drawn caricatures from a diverse range of creators, this unflinching look at the evolution of our conflicted national character illustrates how American cartoonists use farce, mockery, and wit to put national character in the comic looking glass.

Book excerpt: Hi there! I know you know my name because it’s on the cover or I begged you to read my book, but it’s weird to talk about myself while introducing myself. So yeah, my name is Jake, and I wrote a poetry book. Now for stuff you might not know, I’m a twenty-four-year old guy who decided writing and publishing a poetry book was way cheaper than regular therapy. Although this is definitely no alternative for professional help, I do enjoy it a little more and hope this either can find you in good spirits or will help you get there. Although the main reason for this book was to help me deal with the beautifully messed up world I live in, it would help my ego to know if you liked it or if it helped you! Anyway, these poems mainly center on events and feelings that I’ve had, witnessed, or fantasized. Besides the first and last poem, they are written in order so you should be able to see how impulsive I am and see me come into certain writing styles.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prohibition was imposed by eager temperance movements organizers who sought to shape public behavior through alcoholic beverage control in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The success of reformers' efforts resulted in National Prohibition in America from 1920 to 1933, but it also resulted in a thriving illegal business in the manufacture and distribution of illegal liquor. The history of Prohibition and the resulting illegal drinking is frequently told through the lens of crime and violence in Chicago and other major East Coast cities. Often neglected are the effects of Prohibition on the Western part of the United States and how Westerners rose to the challenge of avoiding the consequences of illegal drinking. Illegal liquor was imported from abroad, made in stills using strange ingredients that were sometimes poisonous to the unlucky drinker. This history includes stories ranging from serious to quirky, and provides an entertaining account of how misguided efforts resulted in numerous unintended consequences.
