Book excerpt: Perfect for fans of everything from Lockwood & Co. to The Haunting of Hill House, this gothic graphic novel follows a young medium with the gift—or curse, as some might say—to communicate with the dead. This ghost story “powerfully, tenderly, and empathetically examines death, grief, and the afterlife” raved Kirkus in a starred review! Dorian Leith can see ghosts. Not only that, he listens to their problems and tries to help them move on to the afterlife. It’s a gift that’s made him an outcast to everyone in town. That is except for his dearly departed grandmother, who he’s partnered with to turn this paranormal ability into an honest living, and the local bookshop owner, who seems to be the only non-deceased person willing to give him a chance. But it’s all worth it to Dorian, who feels like he’s been given a bigger purpose. A chance to save those who cannot save themselves. Then one day, the key to Death’s Door is stolen, trapping all the ghosts in the land of the living. Since he’s only one who can see them, the spirits rely on Dorian to retrieve the key before it is too late. If they can’t move on, they’ll soon be consumed by a ghostly rot that has begun to plague them. As it continues to fester and spread, and the ghosts become desperate for relief, Dorian must do whatever it takes to find a way to bring peace to the restless dead—even if that peace comes at the cost of his own….

Book excerpt: Winner of the HarperCollins/UBC Prize for Best New Fiction, this powerful, sweeping novel set in Vienna during the 1930s and ’40s centres on a poignant love story and a friendship that ends in betrayal. In the years between the two world wars, Josef Tobak builds a quiet life around his friendships, his beloved wife, Anna, and his devotion to the old Jewish cemeteries of Vienna. Then comes the Anschluss in 1938, and Josef’s world is uprooted. His health disintegrates. His wife and child are forced to flee to China. His closest gentile friend joins the Nazi Party—and yet helps Josef escape to America. When the war ends, Josef returns to Vienna with his family and tries to make sense of what remains, including his former Nazi friend who, he discovers, protected Josef’s young female cousin throughout the war. Back among his cemeteries in Austria’s war-shattered capital, Josef finds himself beset by secrets, darkness and outward righteousness marred by private cruelty. As the truth is unearthed, Josef’s care for the dead takes on new meaning while he confronts his own role in healing both his devastated community and his deepest wounds. The Ghost Keeper is a story about the terrible choices we make to survive and the powerful connections to communities and friends that define us. Here is a finely accomplished novel that introduces an exciting new voice to our literary landscape.

Download or read book The Canadian Horror Film written by Gina Freitag and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2015-01-01 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the cheaply made "tax-shelter" films of the 1970s to the latest wave of contemporary "eco-horror," Canadian horror cinema has rarely received much critical attention. Gina Freitag and André Loiselle rectify that situation in The Canadian Horror Film with a series of thought-provoking reflections on Canada's "terror of the soul," a wasteland of docile damnation and prosaic pestilence where savage beasts and mad scientists rub elbows with pasty suburbanites, grumpy seamen, and baby-faced porn stars. Featuring chapters on Pontypool, Ginger Snaps, 1970s slasher films, Quebec horror, and the work of David Cronenberg, among many others, The Canadian Horror Film unearths the terrors hidden in the recesses of the Canadian psyche. It examines the highlights of more than a century of Canadian horror filmmaking and includes an extensive filmography to guide both scholars and enthusiasts alike through this treacherous terrain.

Book excerpt: Grace Underwater: I met Grace in the fetish chatroom. She convinced me to come to her penthouse apartment and let her do bad things to me. I didn't realize at the time that she wanted bad things done to her as well, but I was OK with both of those ideas. I arrived to learn that Grace was the wife of the city's drug kingpin, and he was out of town. That should have tipped me off that something was wrong, but when I saw the balcony, with its pool and hot tub, I was tempted. Then I saw Grace herself, and there was no turning back. Soon to be Single: I should have known my new bride was up to something when she insisted we take our honeymoon alone on a cabin cruiser in the Caribbean. I wanted to go to Europe, but no, it had to be a cruise. I was the one who suggested we go snorkeling, and I was the one who initiated sex underwater. Little did I know that she was playing a far more serious game. Is she a "Black Widow," soon to be single again? Diving for Diana: When Diana came into my pool right before closing time, I was disappointed at first; I was hoping to go home after a long evening of lifeguarding. When she came over to me, rubbed my leg and asked if the two of us could stay late, she had me hooked. She brought in a scuba tank and went to the deep end. I didn't have any equipment, but I joined her at the bottom of the pool. Then she showed me what she had in mind. Would we both get off before the air tank ran out? These short, hot tales of underwater sex, peril play, and breath control will turn you on until the air runs out. (Heterosexual, kinky, consensual, water-related sex)
