In 1880 Charleston, disguising herself as a man is only the start of what Wilhelmina Ashton must do to succeed in the Medical and Magical College of South Carolina.

With the hired help of Dirty Henry, a gruff graverobber, she sneaks into the cemetery to steal this unique cadaver. The lynch pin of their plan is Ashton’s magic, but at the crucial moment it has no effect on the revenant. Thrown into a desperate fight for survival against this malevolent undead creature, they must resort to extreme measures.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Darynda Jones comes a new story in her Charley Davidson series… Eric Vause is done. Done with ghosts. Done with hellhounds. And definitely done with asshole demons, mostly because he’d been possessed by one. Even now, five years later, the rage he absorbed from the creature has yet to wane, so he decides a road trip is in order. Surely some cool air, great scenery, and a case of Dos Equis will shake things loose. Unfortunately, supernatural events happen everywhere. When he meets up with a friend whose partner’s daughter needs help with a pest problem—aka, a ghost—Eric takes that as his cue to leave. Until he sees her. He can tell Halle’s house isn’t the only thing that is haunted. The hopelessness behind her eyes tugs at something deep inside him. Something all too familiar. The fact that she’s the most beautiful woman he’s ever seen has nothing to do with his change of heart. And he vows to leave her in his rearview the minute he takes care of the poltergeist. Then again, vows were never his strong suit. **Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world.

Download or read book Hosting the Monster written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hosting the Monster responds to the call of the monstrous with, not rejection, but invitation. Positing the monster as that which defies classification, the essays in this collection are an ongoing engagement with that which lies outside of established boundaries. With chapters ranging from the monstrous mother or the deformed child to subjectivity in transition, this volume is not only of interest to film and gender scholars and literary and cultural theorists but also students of popular culture or horror. Its wide appeal stems from its invitation both to entertain the monster and to widen the call to and the listening for the monsters that have not yet, and perhaps must not yet, come calling back. This sense of hospitality and non-hostility is one guiding principle of this collection, suggesting that the ability to survey and research the otherwise may reveal more about the subjectivity of the self through the wisdom of the other, however monstrous the manifestation.
