Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At Hawthorne High, blending in is practically a survival tactic. But for Ember Moore, standing out is a lifestyle. With her goth vibes, jet-black hair, and combat boots, she’s not here to play by anyone else’s rules. Her dream? Investigative journalism. Her reality? Navigating a school obsessed with cliques and status, where friends are few, and going solo is the only way she rolls. Enter Brady Watson. New guy, star athlete, and way too charming for his own good. He’s got the school wrapped around his finger—except for Ember, whose ‘I-don’t-care’ attitude makes her even more of a mystery. Brady’s used to winning, but breaking through Ember’s walls? That’s a whole new challenge. When Brady discovers that Ember’s sister, Willow, is off-limits to dating until Ember finds a boyfriend, he comes up with a wild plan: a fake relationship. It’s the perfect setup to help his friend Keith get closer to Willow. Ember’s all in—after all, what’s the harm in pretending? But lines blur fast, and for Brady, this fake relationship is feeling a lot more real than he expected. The question is, will Ember let down her guard and risk it all, or will she keep her distance and stick to flying solo? The Goth Girl and the Jock is a story about breaking stereotypes, unexpected connections, and realizing that sometimes, the person who challenges you the most is the one worth letting in.

Download or read book Fashioning Gothic Bodies written by Catherine Spooner and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2004-09-04 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This innovative book explores the role played by clothing in the discourses of the Gothic. It makes an explicit connection between the veils, masks and disguises of Gothic convention, and historically-specific fashion discourses, from the revealing chemise-dress popularized by Queen Marie Antoinette to the subcultural style of contemporary Goths. In so doing it sheds new light on the cultural construction of Gothic bodies. Taking an original interdisciplinary approach, Catherine Spooner offers readings of literary, cinematic and popular cultural texts in the context of fashion from the 1790s to the 1990s. Progressing chronologically from the novels of Radcliffe and Lewis through the "sensation" fiction of the Victorian period and the Gothic fiction of the fin-de-siècle, Fashioning Gothic Bodies culminates with twentieth-century film and the supposed resurgence of the Gothic in pre-Millennial culture.
