Book excerpt: The first installment in The Curse Workers series from New York Times bestselling author Holly Black: “Urban fantasy, con story—whatever you call it, read it” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review). Cassel comes from a family of con artists and grifters, all of them curse workers but him. On top of that, Cassel is plagued by guilt that he killed his best friend, Lila, years ago. When Cassel begins to have strange dreams about a white cat and people around him are losing their memories, he starts to wonder what really happened to Lila, and what that means about his actions. In Cassel’s search for answers about Lila and himself, he realizes that his brothers have been conning him for years, and that the final piece in their quest for power is about to fall into place. Cassel has other ideas. He’s going to create an even more elaborate trap and, with Lila’s help, con a bunch of magic using conmen. This “beautifully realized dark fantasy...with prose that moves from stark simplicity to almost surreal intensity in a moment” (Publishers Weekly, starred review) is rife with the unexpected. “Readers will be hooked” (Booklist) on White Cat.

Download or read book A Unified Theory of Cats on the Internet written by E.J. White and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2020-07-21 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This cultural history reveals how cats became the undisputed mascot of the internet—“an essential look at life online” (Ryan Milner, author of The World Made Meme). Journalists and their readers seem to need no explanation for the line, “The internet is made of cats.” Everyone understands the joke, but few know how it started. A Unified Theory of Cats on the Internet is the first book to explore the history of how the cat became the internet’s best friend. Internet cats can differ in dramatic ways, from the goth cats of Twitter to the glamourpusses of Instagram to the giddy, nonsensical silliness of Nyan Cat. But they all share common traits and values. Bringing together fun anecdotes, thoughtful analyses, and hidden histories of the communities that built the internet, Elyse White shows how japonisme, punk culture, cute culture, and the battle among different communities for the soul of the internet informed the sensibility of online felines. Internet cats offer a playful and useful way to understand how culture shapes—and is shaped by—technology. Western culture has used cats for centuries as symbols of darkness, pathos, and alienation. The communities that helped build the internet represented themselves as outsiders, with snark and alienation at the core of their identity. Thus cats became the sine qua non of cultural literacy for the Extremely Online, as well as an everyday medium of expression for the rest of us. Whatever direction the internet takes next, the “series of tubes” is likely to remain cat-shaped.

Book excerpt: "Cassel Sharpe comes from a family of curse workers, people who have the power to change emotions, memories, and luck with the slightest touch of their hands. And since curse work is illegal, they're also all criminals. Many become mobsters and con artists, but not Cassel. He doesn't have magic, so he's an outsider, the straight kid in a crooked family--except for the small detail that he killed his best friend, Lila, three years ago. Cassel has carefully built up a facade of normalcy, blending into the crowd. But his facade starts to crumble when he finds himself sleepwalking, propelled into the night by terrifying dreams about a white cat that wants to tell him something. He's noticing other disturbing things, too, including the strange behavior of his two older brothers, who are keeping secrets from him. As Cassel begins to suspect he's an unwitting pawn in a huge con game, he must unravel his past, and his memories. To find the truth, Cassel will have to out-con the conmen"--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The White Cat Dear Children: Marie Catherine Le Jumelle De Berneville, afterwards Mme. La Comptesse D'Aulnoy who wrote these tales, was I fear something of an adventures. So are we all of us, every man, woman and child on this globe, adventures. What I mean is that not all of her adventures were admirable. It was in the time of Louis XIV, and, like full bottom wigs, Romance was the fashion. Little Marie Catherine was born in 1655, and her mother, she hints, was too young and too pretty a woman of fashion to enjoy a growing, let alone a grown up daughter. Marie Catherine was sent to a convent school and at the ages of twelve to fifteen began her career of letters. Very literally so, for she copied out long-winded love letters from Romances and Novels of the period and sent them to one of her professors, M. de Blossac. The good man enjoyed them hugely until the nuns got wind of it, and then there was outcry and scandal. The small penitent, with mamma behind her, was all for becoming a nun, but M. le Jumelle de Berneville, who seems to have been a man of humor and sense, eloped with his own daughter in a coach and four. And in this coach was waiting, just like a Fairy Tale, a charming young husband, Francois de la Mothe, Sieur d'Aulnoy. Later the mother and daughter seem to have combined together against the Compte d'Aulnoy, and there is a hint of his having been charged with lese-majeste (or treason against the king), but escaping it triumphantly. And there is another rumor of Mme. d'Aulnoy having known for too intimately a certain notorious Madame Tiquet, beheaded for the murder of her husband. Later still Marie Catherine and her mother turned up at the court of Charles the Second, plunged into its intrigue and tittle tattle, and she wrote a Memoir of the Court of England, full of assumed names and dubious episodes, rather like a poor play.
