Download or read book Monster written by Allan Hall and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2008-11-06 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On 28 August 1984, Josef Fritzl drugged his teenage daughter with ether and imprisoned her in an underground bunker behind eight locked doors. Over the following twenty-four years, he raped and abused her, never letting her or the children she bore him out of the dark, windowless cellar. Based on 150 new interviews with psychologists, neighbours, colleagues and friends who knew Fritzl, as well as the insight of his own chilling confession, Allan Hall reconstructs the monstrous personality behind this hideous crime. He exposes Josef Fritzl's dark past in Nazi Austria, his previous conviction as a rapist, the appalling conditions in which Elisabeth and her children were kept and her astonishingly brave conduct while held prisoner. Including exclusive photographs and previously unseen evidence, this is a truly heart-stopping record of one of the most elaborate and disturbing cases of abuse in modern times.

Download or read book Man Made Monsters written by Andrea Rogers and published by Chronicle Books. This book was released on 2022-10-04 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Walter Dean Myers Award Winner International Literacy Association Book Award Winner Whippoorwhill Award Winner Reading the West Book Awards Shortlist BEST OF THE YEAR Washington Post · Booklist Editors’ Choice · Publishers Weekly · Horn Book · New York Public Library Tsalagi should never have to live on human blood, but sometimes things just happen to sixteen-year-old girls. Making her YA debut, Cherokee writer Andrea L. Rogers takes her place as one of the most striking voices of the horror renaissance that has swept the last decade. Horror fans will get their thrills in this collection – from werewolves to vampires to zombies – all the time-worn horror baddies are there. But so are predators of a distinctly American variety – the horrors of empire, of intimate partner violence, of dispossession. And so too the monsters of Rogers’ imagination, that draw upon long-told Cherokee stories – of Deer Woman, fantastical sea creatures, and more. Following one extended Cherokee family across the centuries, from the tribe’s homelands in Georgia in the 1830s to World War I, the Vietnam War, our own present, and well into the future, each story delivers a slice of a particular time period that will leave readers longing for more. Alongside each story, Cherokee artist and language technologist Jeff Edwards delivers haunting illustrations that incorporate Cherokee syllabary. But don’t just take it from us – award-winning writer of The Only Good Indians and Mongrels Stephen Graham Jones says that "Andrea Rogers writes like the house is on fire and her words are the only thing that can put it out." Man-Made Monsters is a masterful, heartfelt, haunting collection ripe for crossover appeal – just don’t blame us if you start hearing things that go bump in the night. P R A I S E ★ “Many of these stories sound as if they were passed down as family histories. It may read like speculative fiction, but it feels like truth.” —Horn Book (starred) ★ “Stunning collection of short stories follows a Cherokee family through two centuries, beginning with something akin to a vampire attack and ending with zombies.” —BCCB (starred) ★ “Spine-tingling...A simultaneously frightening and enthralling read.” —Publishers Weekly (starred) ★ “Chilling… Exquisite… A creepy and artful exploration of a haunting heritage.” —Kirkus (starred) ★ “Startling…Will leave readers—adults as well as teens—unsettled, feeling like they have caught a glimpse into a larger world.” —Booklist (starred)

Download or read book Queer Sexualities in Early Film written by Shane Brown and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-07-26 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the publication of Vito Russo's seminal study The Celluloid Closet in 1981, much has been written about the representation of queer characters on screen. Until now, however, relatively little attention has been paid to how queer sexualities were portrayed in films from the silent and early sound period. By looking in detail at a succession of recently-found films and revisiting others, Shane Brown examines images of male-male intimacy, buddy relationships and romantic friendships in European and American films made prior to 1934, including Different from the Others and All Quiet on the Western Front. He places these films within their socio-political and scientific context and sheds new light on how they were intended to be viewed and how they were actually perceived. In doing so, Brown offers his readers a unique insight into a little known area of early cinema, queer studies and social history.
