Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A tropical paradise turns deadly. Service dog trainer Marcia Banks had thought it was the perfect arrangement—stay on her client’s private Gulf-coast island and get the human phase of the training done more quickly, while enjoying a much-needed break from the chaos of house renovations back home. This certainly wasn't the tranquil getaway she’d envisioned, however. Two resident ghosts, a sour-puss housekeeper and bearing witness to her client’s shaky marriage are bad enough. But within days, she’s discovered even deeper and darker layers of dysfunction. Via emails and static-filled phone calls, fiancé Will Haines convinces her to get herself and her dog Buddy out of there, but before Marcia can accomplish this, a late-season hurricane abruptly changes course and strands them on the island... with a murderer.

Download or read book Costuming Cosplay written by Therèsa M. Winge and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-11-01 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cosplay, short for "costume play", has grown from its origins at fan conventions into a billion-dollar global dress phenomenon. Costuming Cosplay takes us from elaborately crafted DIY costumes to online fandoms, examining how the practice of portraying fictional characters from popular culture through dress and performance has become a creative means of expressing and playing with different identities. With an approach that ranges from admiration and role-play to gender performance, this is the first book to fully examine the subculture and costume of the Cosplay phenomenon. Drawing on extensive first-hand research at conventions across North America and Asia, Therèsa M. Winge invites us to explore how Cosplay functions as a meritocracy of creativity, escapism, and disguise, and offers a creative realm in which fantasy and new forms of socializing carry as much importance as costume. Illustrated with color photographs of both celebrity and amateur Cosplayers, Costuming Cosplay is essential reading for students and scholars of fashion and costume, popular culture, anthropology, gender, and media studies, as well as global players and fans of Cosplay.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anime/manga (Japanese animation and comics) have been increasing in popularity worldwide for decades. But despite being a global phenomenon, there’s been surprisingly little psychological research formally studying its devoted fanbase. In this book we aim to do just that with an overview of nearly a decade of research by fan psychologists. Otaku and cosplayers, genre preferences, hentai, parasocial connections, motivation, personality, fanship and fandom, stigma, and well-being – this book looks at all of these topics through a psychological lens. Many of these findings are being presented for the first time, without the jargon and messy statistical analyses, but in plain language so it’s accessible to all readers – fans and curious observers alike!

Book excerpt: Can an unlikely friendship save the day? Arara’s ears flatten to her head and her lips pull back into a snarl. Kerka chuckles and tries to kick her, but Arara hears the thought coming and dodges easily. The rest of the hunting party, classmates their own age, snicker and wag their tails in amusement. She longs to run away, but today is special. Their hunting trial. Leave, and she’ll still be considered a pup and be stuck here another year at least. Prince Sels walks at the head of a grand procession up to the stage where a dozen furry pups wait. It’s so cold he can’t even get his flowers to open. Sels longs for the hot humid plains of the capital city. He can’t go home until he finds at least one candidate, yet his lack of magic means he can’t feel their potential. One pup of the group catches his eye. Tiny and white, she looks as out of place as he feels, and he feels a jolt of connection with her. But what kind of difference can one magicless prince and a runt puppy make?

Download or read book Aussie Fans written by Celia Lam and published by University of Iowa Press. This book was released on 2019-10-01 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Australia holds a unique place in the global scheme of fandom. Much of the media consumed by Australian audiences originates from either the United States or the United Kingdom, yet several Australian productions have also attracted international fans in their own right. This first-ever academic study of Australian fandom explores the national popular culture scene through themes of localization and globalization. The essays within reveal how Australian audiences often seek authentic imports and eagerly embrace different cultures, examining both Hollywood’s influence on Australian fandom and Australian fan reactions to non-Western content. By shining a spotlight on Australian fandom, this book not only provides an important case study for fan studies scholars, it also helps add nuance to a field whose current literature is predominantly U.S. and U.K. focused.
