Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It isn't as though Trisha doesn't try to be a normal teenage girl. She really does. But something happened to her before she moved to her new town, something she hasn't dared tell anyone else. Something unbelievable. Something that's made it clear to her that she is not quite average. And neither are a group of kids that she's met at her new school. They seem to be mostly focused on starting a new after-school club. But sometimes they talk about strange things, like ghosts and paranormal beings. They tell Trisha that a long time ago, her ancestors were real witches - and that she could be one too. Without warning, Trisha becomes the target of nasty pranks by someone who already seems to have a score to settle with her. It's slowly getting out of control, and there's no one she can turn to, no one she can really trust, or is there? Trisha isn't sure what to believe anymore, except for one thing: life as she knows it is being turned upside-down. Is a fresh start really too much to ask

Download or read book The Palgrave Encyclopedia of American Horror Film Shorts written by Gary D. Rhodes and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-07-26 with total page 718 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Palgrave Encyclopedia of American Horror Film Shorts chronicles for the first time over 1,500 horror and horror-related short subjects theatrically released between 1915, at the dawn of the feature film era when shorts became a differentiated category of cinema, and 1976, when the last of the horror-related shorts were distributed to movie theaters. Individual entries feature plot synopses, cast and crew information, and – where possible – production histories and original critical reviews. A small number of the short subjects catalogued herein are famous; such as those featuring the likes of Buster Keaton, Laurel and Hardy, The Three Stooges, Bugs Bunny, and Daffy Duck; but the bulk are forgotten. The diverse content of these shorts includes ghosts, devils, witches, vampires, skeletons, mad scientists, monsters, hypnotists, gorillas, dinosaurs, and so much more, including relevant nonfiction newsreels. Their rediscovery notably rewrites many chapters of the history of horror cinema, from increasing our understanding of the sheer number horror films that were produced and viewed by audiences to shedding light on particular subgenres and specific narrative and historical trends.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Knickerbocker's History of New York, From the Beginning of the World to the End of the Dutch Dynasty is a work of history, disguised as satire, which was published in 1809 by the American writer Washington Irving under the pseudonym Dietrich Knickerbocker. The full title of the work is "A history of New York, from the beginning of the world to the end of the Dutch dynasty. Containing, among many surprising and curious matters, the unutterable ponderings of Walter the Doubter, the disastrous projects of William the Testy, and the chivalric achievements of Peter the Headstrong, the three Dutch governors of New Amsterdam: being the only authentic history of the times that ever hath been published." Irving draws an unflattering image of the settlers of the colony New Nederland and the Dutch are drawn as lazy pipe smokers of little minds. The work is considered a satire on the political leadership of the United States. Washington Irving (1783–1859) was an American author, essayist, biographer, historian, and diplomat of the early 19th century. He is best known for his short stories "Rip Van Winkle" and "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" both of which appear in his book The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent. His historical works include biographies of George Washington and Oliver Goldsmith, and several histories of 15th-century Spain, dealing with subjects such as the Moors and the Alhambra. Irving served as the U.S. ambassador to Spain from 1842 to 1846.
