Book excerpt: At the age of five, good witch, Beatrice Manchester, comes into her powers. Her doting, magical Grandpa reads her bedtime stories from the Book of Cauldrons, Spells, and Legends. He tells the tale of the Chromium Cauldron. While wintering in Palm Beach, Florida with her family in 1912, she meets a young merman, Prince Peter of Atlantis. Just like the story from the Book of Cauldrons, Peter presents Bea with a Chromium Cauldron. With the proper spell and potion, the cauldron allows her to breathe underwater. The sea nymphs prophesize that Bea and Peter will wed on her 16th birthday. They also predict that Poseidon, angered with the humans, plans to sink the Titanic. A heart wrenching memory loss and an overprotective King of the mermaids, keeps Bea and Peter apart. Ten years later, in the roaring 20s, Bea’s parents take her to the Biltmore Estate to mingle with the heirs of America’s wealthiest tycoons—Carnegie, Astor, Flagler, Morgan, and Vanderbilt. The spellbinding, beautiful heiress is smothered by sought after suiters. But something prickles her memory, and she knows her parents are hiding something important—something significant that’s supposed to happen soon. Just before her 16th birthday, Bea’s memory is completely restored. But the Gods are angry at the humans again and plan to create the largest and strongest hurricane ever formed to annihilate the islands and the entire state of Florida, and Atlantis is directly in it’s path. From the Breakers to the Biltmore to Atlantis, Bea encounters countless magical creatures—sea nymphs, mermaids, Gods, and angels. With the powerful Manchester coven, they fight the massive Hurricane. Will the Manchesters defeat Mother Nature, forced by the Gods? Will Bea and Peter, true loves, be reunited at last and fulfill the prophecy?

Book excerpt: The author of Hidden History offers a fascinating tour through centuries of buried riches, stolen artifacts, and other true tales of treasure.

Book excerpt: What is fanfiction, and what is it not? Why does fanfiction matter? And what makes it so important to the future of literature? Fic is a groundbreaking exploration of the history and culture of fan writing and what it means for the way we think about reading, writing, and authorship. It's a story about literature, community, and technology—about what stories are being told, who's telling them, how, and why. With provocative discussions from both professional and fan writers, on subjects from Star Trek to The X-Files and Buffy the Vampire Slayer to Harry Potter, Twilight, and beyond, Fic sheds light on the widely misunderstood world(s) of fanfiction—not only how fanfiction is transforming the literary landscape, but how it already has.

Download or read book Rumor Mills written by Veronique Campion-Vincent and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of this volume is to explore the social and political dynamics of rumor and the related concept of urban or contemporary legend. These forms of communication often appear in tandem with social problems, including riots, racial or political violence, and social and economic upheavals. The volume emphasizes the connection of rumor to a set of social concerns from government corruption and corporate scandal, to racial, religious, and other prejudices. Central to the dialogue are issues of truth, belief, history, public policy, and evidence.Rumor has been recognized as one of the most important contributing factors to violence and discrimination. Yet, despite its significance in exacerbating social discord and mistrust, little systematic scholarly attention has been paid to the political origins and consequences of rumor. Rumor is defined as a proposition for belief that is not backed by secure standards of evidence. Rumor can be traditional or not, and can be expressed as a simple claim of fact. In both instances groups of claim-makers, operating out of their own interests and with a set of resources, attempt to depict reality, and if possible, impact the future.The need for this book is underscored by changing patterns of technology. What in the past was grounded in face- to-face interaction is now often found on the Internet, which is a major source of rumor. An appreciation of how new electronic forms of communication affect communal belief is essential for explicating rumor dynamics. The volume is comprehensive. Essays cover race and ethnicity, migration and globalization, corporate malfeasance, and state and government corruption. While editors and contributors well appreciate the dynamic nature of rumors and legends, the high quality of the effort make it evident that the issues that are raised and reoccur will serve to channel and inspire research in this major field of communications research for years to come.

Download or read book Humor and Rumor in the Post Soviet Authoritarian State written by Anastasiya Astapova and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2021-02-15 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork in Belarus, an example of an authoritarian state, Humor and Rumor in the Post-Soviet Authoritarian State presents over one hundred contemporary political jokes in the contexts of their performance. Throughout, Anastasiya Astapova demonstrates the salience of the joke genre, the multiplicity of humor manifestations, and the fundamental presence of intertextual links between jokes and another folk genre—rumor. Informed by real-life fieldwork in an authoritarian regime, Humor and Rumor in the Post-Soviet Authoritarian State challenges many common theories of political humor, including the interpretation of political jokes as weapons of the weak. It illustrates how jokes and rumors remind communities of their fears, support paranoia, shape conformist behavior, and, consequently, reinforce the existing hegemony. In this rare study on everyday life in and reactions to repressive regimes, Astapova unveils political humor as it is lived.
