Download or read book Folk Horror written by Adam Scovell and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2017-10-24 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interest in the ancient, the occult, and the "wyrd" is on the rise. The furrows of Robin Hardy (The Wicker Man), Piers Haggard (Blood on Satan's Claw), and Michael Reeves (Witchfinder General) have arisen again, most notably in the films of Ben Wheatley (Kill List), as has the Spirit of Dark of Lonely Water, Juganets, cursed Saxon crowns, spaceships hidden under ancient barrows, owls and flowers, time-warping stone circles, wicker men, the goat of Mendes, and malicious stone tapes. Folk Horror: Hours Dreadful And Things Strange charts the summoning of these esoteric arts within the latter half of the twentieth century and beyond, using theories of psychogeography, hauntology, and topography to delve into the genre's output in film, television, and multimedia as its "sacred demon of ungovernableness" rises yet again in the twenty-first century.

Download or read book Going Too Far written by Robin Morgan and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2014-11-11 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The personal papers of one of feminism’s most passionate leaders, with a new preface by the author As an activist for social justice, Robin Morgan has acquired a reputation for strong convictions and a life-affirming way of expressing them through writing. Nowhere is this more evident than in Going Too Far, which takes us behind the scenes in Morgan’s life and in the women’s movement until 1977. We watch the development of an organizer who is a complex thinker while Morgan evolves as a mother, leader, writer, and activist. Morgan’s keen eye is trained on all aspects of modern feminism, and this is reflected in the juxtaposition of the journal entries and letters of her personal life with the essays and polemics that shape her public persona. Her opinions on marriage, love, religion, pornography, and art are as utterly fresh and timely today as they were decades ago. Her growing wisdom and depth of perception are apparent in the book’s progression, and her last chapters, focused on what she terms the “metaphysics of feminism,” will change a reader’s world view for the better—and forever.

Download or read book The Namesake written by Steven Parlato and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-12-18 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gifted artist? Standout student? All his teachers are sure certain that Evan Galloway can be the graduate who brings glory to small, ordinary St. Sebastian's School. As for Evan, however, he can't be bothered anymore. Since the shock of his young father's suicide last spring, Evan no longer cares about the future. In fact, he believes that he spent the first fifteen years of his life living a lie. Despite his mother's encouragement and the steadfast companionship of his best friend, Alexis, Evan is mired in rage and bitterness. Good memories seem ludicrous when the present holds no hope. Then Evan's grandmother hands him the key--literally, a key--to a locked trunk that his father hid when he was the same age as Evan is now. Digging into the trunk and the small-town secrets it uncovers, Evan can begin to face who his father really was, and why even the love of his son could not save him. In a voice that resonates with the authenticity of grief, Steven Parlato tells a different kind of coming-of-age story, about a boy thrust into adulthood too soon, through the corridor of shame, disbelief, and finally...compassion.

And with one of the Devil’s own sons, a ‘Big Comeback’ takes on fantastic, destructive new meaning. His gang’s teeming with monsters and brimming with magic, and they’re out for blood.

The jester of the Devil’s court, your friend and mine, Mr. Laiel Arturus Brockade, is nearly positioned to shout “King Me!” That, or he’ll flip over the gameboard and shoot his opponent dead.

Download or read book The Sinful Maternal written by Lauren Rocha and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2024-03-26 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pregnancy, birth, and postpartum recovery are challenging experiences that impact women’s physical, mental, and emotional health in ways that have been historically minimalized, dismissed, or neglected. A mother’s body becomes a public body, physically and politically not her own, instead shared by her spouse, her children, and those around her. Her body, therefore, makes the perfect vessel for an invasive presence—or possession. The Sinful Maternal: Motherhood in Possession Films examines the role of mothers and motherhood in ten possession films, including Rosemary’s Baby, The Exorcist, The Babadook, and Hereditary. Chapters discuss the work of such directors as James Wan, Jennifer Kent, Robert Eggers, and Ari Aster to address how their cinematic approaches to these films produce rich possession narratives that explore different facets of motherhood and women’s agency. Working at the intersections of gender studies, architectural theory, trauma studies, and monster theory, with a particular focus on the treatment of (often unruly) female bodies, author Lauren Rocha investigates the ways in which motherhood is a fertile state for possession and how possession acts to influence, destabilize, and reshape identity and the self. Placing the films in chronological order, she closely analyzes the ways in which sociocultural influences create different roles women and mothers are expected to perform. Ultimately, Rocha demonstrates how possession offers a way to challenge performative motherhood to free the self.

Book excerpt: In 1735, Samuel and Deborah Leeds unleashed a horrific abomination upon the world of men. For nearly two hundred years, the legend of the Jersey Devil has haunted the people of Burlington, New Jersey, and the surrounding Pine Barrens. The year is now 1984, and the monster that was released by Samuel Leeds is back. After the horrific deaths of fourteen-year-old Deirdre Cheek and twenty-year-old Harvey Kramer in this quiet, close-knit town, Raef Lorenz, a former priest turned investigator into the supernatural for the Church of Rome, is sent to Burlington to investigate the killings and the reappearance of the Jersey Devil. As the killings and carnage continue, Lorenz uncovers a sinister plot by the demonic offspring of Samuel and Deborah Leeds. With the help of Kerri Wright, the daughter of local sheriff Andy Wright, Lorenz eludes a group of devil-worshipping bikers and fights against satanic assassins on his way to discovering the truth behind the most recent appearance of the creature. Armed only with knowledge, Lorenz becomes caught in the middle of a struggle between heaven and hell with the fate of mankind resting on his shoulders.
