Book excerpt: A wildly entertaining debut from Michelle McGill-Vargas, American Ghoul deftly combines horror and social commentary--with a dash of a buddy comedy--in an innovative twist on the vampire genre. You can't kill someone who's already dead. That's what Lavinia keeps telling her jailer after--allegedly--killing her mistress, Simone Arceaneau. But how could Simone be dead when she was taking callers just a few minutes before? And why was her house always so dark? Lavina, a recently freed slave, met Simone, a recently undead vampire, by chance on a plantation in post-Civil War Georgia. With nothing remaining for either woman in the South, the two form a fast friendship and head north. However, Lavinia quickly learns that teaming up with this white woman may be more than she bargained for. Simone is reckless and impulsive--which would've been bad enough on its own, but when combined with her particular diet Lavinia finds herself in way over her head. As she is forced to repeatedly compromise her morals and struggle to make lasting human connections, Lavinia begins to wonder is she truly free or has she merely exchanged one form of enslavement for another? As bodies start to pile up in the small Indiana town they've settled in, people start to take a second look at the two newcomers, and Simone and Lavinia's relationship is stretched to its breaking point ...

Download or read book Philosophy of the Future Humanism written by Ahmed Sedik and published by Kotobna. This book was released on with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: -The vision of the humanity of the future came as a natural result of the global historical crisis, it deepened from the philosophical visions that preceded it, and thus, necessarily, became a historical development for it towards the humanity of our world. It stresses the importance of producing a modern dramatic art that expresses reality and its current value struggle, so that it is not far from the true image of our existence, which is a painful image, that we see on a large scale. The current drama now does not face the source of these pains, but rather, in the name of realism, embodies negative values in the dramatic arena, in a way that does not negate backwardness, not deliberately, but by ignoring its causes. Drama producers now focus on profit and quantity in production, so how do they diagnose the circumstances that brought us to the bottom of humanity? They do not like to face the horrors of selling their conscience.
