Book excerpt: Hey, I'm Italian is an insiders look at growing up Italian in New York. Abducted at gunpoint, being bitten on the nose by the family dog two days before my wedding, and paying for a lavish Hawaiian honeymoon only to learn that our travel agent had absconded with our money, were but a few of the events that shaped my life. But growing up Italian in New York, well that can really shake you up. This humorous account of my life, and the culture in which I was ensconced, shows that there is truly no greater tool in life than being able to laugh in the face of adversity. Hey, I'm Italian is filled with laughs, loves and lunacy, not to mention treasured family recipes and some classic Italian humor. There were many events that shaped my life, however there was only one which truly allowed me to understand why I handled life the way I did and that can be summed up in three simple words "Hey, I'm Italian"

Book excerpt: Cain, warlock/once Immortal, is thrust into the twenty-first century as a simple human. Relying on the evil beast inside him, from centuries of using black magic, he has to find the Spell of Immortality to become immortal once again, and break the curse his mother had cast upon him. Entering the twenty-first century, he stumbles upon Gwen, an oddly familiar, beautiful young woman. Discovering Gwen’s mother, his friend, has disappeared, Cain feels it his duty to look after the attractive lass, hoping that she will have clues in finding the spell he desperately wants, and his missing friend. When Gwen lays eyes on the handsome immortal that lands in her dining room, terror and excitement race through her. Cain doesn’t remember her, or their intimate past together, but she could never forget him or his sensual caresses. Wanting to explain her actions from that fateful night, that changed both their lives, she can’t help falling in love with Cain all over again, but is it too late for them to start anew with all the secrets between them? Will they find the love they once shared, or have the evils inside Cain already transformed him into a monstrous, uncaring beast for all time...

We had a number of conversations on a variety of subjects. One day discussing evolution, I, already a grandmother of some years standing, suggested the possibility that mutations in the past might have occurred not singly, but a number at once. That missing links between various apes and humans might not exist. A female ape might have found herself mother of as different a creature as a hen would ducklings, or a dog, kittens.

Book excerpt: Why don't Guitar Hero players just pick up real guitars? What happens when millions of people play the role of a young black gang member in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas? How are YouTube-based music lessons changing the nature of amateur musicianship? This book is about play, performance, and participatory culture in the digital age. Miller shows how video games and social media are bridging virtual and visceral experience, creating dispersed communities who forge meaningful connections by "playing along" with popular culture. Playing Along reveals how digital media are brought to bear in the transmission of embodied knowledge: how a Grand Theft Auto player uses a virtual radio to hear with her avatar's ears; how a Guitar Hero player channels the experience of a live rock performer; and how a beginning guitar student translates a two-dimensional, pre-recorded online music lesson into three-dimensional physical practice and an intimate relationship with a distant teacher. Through a series of engaging ethnographic case studies, Miller demonstrates that our everyday experiences with interactive digital media are gradually transforming our understanding of musicality, creativity, play, and participation.

Book excerpt: It's 1987 and 26-year-old Malcolm Castle is going up in the world. He's made it through eight long years as a rookie fire-fighter and he's become an accepted member of Red Watch in Shrewsbury. The town's glorious medieval streets and the rolling hills of Shropshire look infinitely peaceful. But Malcolm knows they will always spring plenty of surprises. In Going to Blazes the endlessly varied nature of Malcolm's work triggers plenty of laughs, as he comes to the aid of different sorts of animals, vehicles and people in difficulty - and sometimes a combination of all three. Some of the most surprising incidents he recalls include a road blocked with 35 tonnes of turnips, and a call-out to a woman stuck between the floorboards of her upstairs bathroom. But he also faces some of the most emotional rescues of his career. Both funny and touching, Malcolm Castle's book is a unique celebration of the glorious English countryside.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contributions by Rebecca A. Brown, Justine Gieni, Holly Harper, Emily L. Hiltz, A. Robin Hoffman, Kirsten Kowalewski, Peter C. Kunze, Jorie Lagerwey, Nick Levey, Jessica R. McCort, and Janani Subramanian Dark novels, shows, and films targeted toward children and young adults are proliferating wildly. It is even more crucial now to understand the methods by which such texts have traditionally operated and how those methods have been challenged, abandoned, and appropriated. Reading in the Dark fills a gap in criticism devoted to children's popular culture by concentrating on horror, an often-neglected genre. These scholars explore the intersection between horror, popular culture, and children's cultural productions, including picture books, fairy tales, young adult literature, television, and monster movies. Reading in the Dark looks at horror texts for children with deserved respect, weighing the multitude of benefits they can provide for young readers and viewers. Refusing to write off the horror genre as campy, trite, or deforming, these essays instead recognize many of the texts and films categorized as "scary" as among those most widely consumed by children and young adults. In addition, scholars consider how adult horror has been domesticated by children's literature and culture, with authors and screenwriters turning that which was once horrifying into safe, funny, and delightful books and films. Scholars likewise examine the impetus behind such re-envisioning of the adult horror novel or film as something appropriate for the young. The collection investigates both the constructive and the troublesome aspects of scary books, movies, and television shows targeted toward children and young adults. It considers the complex mechanisms by which these texts communicate overt messages and hidden agendas, and it treats as well the readers' experiences of such mechanisms.

Book excerpt: Teddy Fitzroy returns as FunJungle’s resident zoo sleuth when a rhinoceros is at risk in Big Game, a follow-up to Belly Up and Poached—which Kirkus Reviews called a “thrill-ride of a mystery.” When someone takes aim at Rhonda Rhino, FunJungle’s pregnant (and endangered) Asian greater one-horned rhinoceros, the zoo steps up security measures in order to protect this rare animal and her baby. But the extra security isn’t enough—someone is still getting too close for comfort. Teddy and company start to suspect that whoever is after Rhonda is really after her horn, which is worth a lot of money on the black market. For the first time ever, the head of the zoo enlists Teddy for help—for once, he doesn’t have to sneak around in order to investigate—and the results are even more wacky, and even more dangerous, than ever before.

But she had to keep him talking: he certainly seemed to be up to no good and—even more importantly—he knew the whereabouts of her sister's estranged husband. Ellie's persistence seemed to encourage Daniel to think that she could yet be persuaded to join his harem. Ellie was having none of it, until Daniel's determination made her realize she had put two and two together—to make five! "Carole Mortimer delivers quality romance." —Romantic Times

These authors, collectively, offer insights into feminist thought's evolution, aligning with several critical movements from Romanticism to Modernism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dusty trail leading into the Gold Dust mine was well-trodden by prospectors, vagrants, and the occasional family striking out for a new life during the gold rush. But the rickety wagon that rolled into town one scorching August day carried a darkness that would seep into the very soul of the settlement. Wiping sweat from his brow, Sheriff William Buckley watched the wagon with narrowed eyes as it creaked to a stop outside the Half-Rat Saloon. A sour-faced old woman with wiry gray hair descended first, followed by three hulking men who could only be her sons. They moved with a cold menace, sizing up the ramshackle buildings and prospectors who'd wandered over to see the newcomers. "More squatters aiming to make their fortune," Buckley muttered, resting one hand on the grip of his Schofield revolver. He'd learned over his many years in the lawless boomtowns that judging people too quickly was a mistake. But something about this foursome put his teeth on edge. The old woman seemed to feel his gaze upon her. She turned towards him, flinty eyes glinting with undisguised disdain. A chilling smile twisted her cracked lips. "Howdy, Sheriff," she called out in a wavering crone's voice. "We're the Holiday family. Just rolled in from Carolina. My boys and I aim to try our hand at this gold craze." Buckley gave a curt nod but said nothing. The youngest of the three sons, lean and sullen-faced, was staring at him with open hatred. Buckley didn't so much as blink, returning the glare with stone-faced resolve. The old woman cackled a phlegmy sound that set Buckley’s skin prickling. "Don't mind Tommy, Sheriff. He's a mite addled from the long journey. We'll just get ourselves settled in and you won't have any trouble from us, I give you my word." She turned away without waiting for a response. With a flick of her bent wrist, she gestured for the sons to follow as she headed towards the town's overcrowded bordello and casino. Buckley watched them go, a sinking feeling in his gut. He'd learned to trust his instincts over his decades in the Wild West - and they were screaming that the Holidays were going to be a whole hell of a lot of trouble. Two weeks later, the first body turned up. Young Billy Benton was just a ranch hand, sweet on the sheriff's daughter and dreaming of striking it rich to start a family with her. He'd had the terrible luck of choosing to hunt that day near the Holidays' ramshackle cabin on the outskirts of town. Ol' Granny Holiday, as the townsfolk had taken to calling her, claimed it was just an awful tragedy. Poor Billy must have got jumped by a grizzly or hostile Utes. The only part of him that remained was his hand, grasping the hilt of his hunting knife, half-buried in the mud near their cabin. Buckley had no choice but to rule it as a tragic casualty of frontier living. But his gut told him it was no animal attack. The bones in Billy's hand looked to have been shattered by brutal force, not gnawed by any creature's jaws. And the Holidays seemed entirely too calm about having a mauled body discovered just yards from their home.
