Download or read book Be Careful What You Wish For written by Alyssa Michelle and published by Tate Publishing. This book was released on 2013-04 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who hasn't at some point thought about what they would do if granted a wish? But what might happen if a magical creature, like a fairy or a genie, took a wish for themselves? You will find the startling answer within these pages, at least in the case of fairies. In another dimension, around the four corner stars of the constellation Orion, live the fairies we all know and love—and many more. In the beginning, all fairies were extraordinarily beautiful creatures. Their radiance was a reflection of their innocent and generous natures. But everything started to change when the former Tooth Fairy, Maeve, was caught by a young boy named Nebiatis as she tried to collect his tooth. Through their interactions, Maeve transforms from wish granter to leader of the Wishtakers, a rogue band of evil fairies who'll stop at nothing to gain control of fairydom. But her transformation isn't just in her lifestyle; she becomes something strikingly unlike any fairy the world has ever known. Can Suzabelle, the head of the fairy high council, right the wrongs done by Maeve and her followers and return fairydom to its former glory? Even fairies must learn the truths behind the adage: Be Careful What You Wish For.

Book excerpt: Toys--those celebrated childhood cohorts and lead actors in children's imaginative play--have a fantastic history of heroism in fiction. From teddy bears that guard sleeping babies to plastic soldiers and cowboys who lay siege to wooden block castles, toys are often the heroes of the stories children inspire authors to tell. In this collection of new essays, scholars from a great range of disciplines examine fictional toys as protectors of the children they love, as heroes of their own stories, and as champions for the greater good in the writings of A.A. Milne, Hans Christian Andersen, William Joyce, John Lasseter and many others.

Will Dane be able to seduce her back in his own, dark and twisted way? Or will he be forced to go back to Emily? Let the chase begin! (Book 1 Of the Series is available to read here.

Download or read book Cinema of the Psychic Realm written by Paul Meehan and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2009-10-21 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cinema is ideally suited to the world of psychic phenomena. A technique as simple as a voice-over can simulate mental telepathy, while unusual lighting, set design, or creative digital manipulation can conjure clairvoyant visions, precognition, or even psychokinesis. This book analyzes the depiction of paranormal powers in film, examining how movies like Star Wars, Independence Day, The Green Mile, and dozens of others both reflect and influence the way modern society thinks about psychic abilities. The theme is explored in nearly 100 films from a variety of genres including drama, comedy, horror, science fiction, crime melodrama, and children's films, providing a concise review of the history and concepts of mainstream cinematic parapsychology.
Download or read book Look at the Bunny written by Dominic Pettman and published by John Hunt Publishing. This book was released on 2013-03-29 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are totems merely a thing of the distant past? Or might it be that our sleek new machines are producing totemic forces which we are only beginning to recognize? This book asks to what degree today's media technologies are haunted by a Freudian ghost, functioning as totems or taboos (or both). By isolating five case-studies (rabbits in popular culture, animated creatures that go "off-program," virtual lovers, jealous animal spirit guides, and electronic paradises), Look at the Bunny highlights and explores today's techno-totemic environment. In doing so, it explores how nonhuman avatars are increasingly expected to shepherd us beyond our land-locked identities, into a risky - sometimes ecstatic - relationship with the Other. ,

Book excerpt: Through spaceships, aliens, ray guns and other familiar trappings, science fiction uses the future (and sometimes the past) to comment on current social, cultural and political ideologies; the same is true of science fiction in children's film and television. This collection of essays analyzes the confluences of science fiction and children's visual media, covering such cultural icons as Flash Gordon, the Jetsons and Star Wars, as well as more contemporary fare like the films Wall-E, Monsters vs. Aliens and Toy Story. Collectively, the essays discover, applaud and critique the hidden--and not-so-hidden--messages presented on our children's film and TV screens.
