Book excerpt: Sirens are sounds that confront us in daily life, from the sounds of police cars and fire engines to, less often, tornado warnings. Ideologies of sirens embody the protective, the seductive and the dangerous elements of siren sounds – from the US Cold War public training exercises in the 1950s and 1960s to the seductive power of the sirens entrenched in popular culture: from Wagner to Dizzee Rascal, from Kafka to Kurt Vonnegut, from Hans Christian Andersen to Walt Disney. This book argues, using a wide array of theorists from Adorno to Bloch and Kittler, that we should understand 'siren sounds' in terms of their myth and materiality, and that sirens represent a sonic confluence of power, gender and destructiveness embedded in core Western ideologies to the present day. Bull poses the question of whether we can rely on sirens, both in their mythic meanings and in their material meanings in contemporary culture.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Artemis Knight is thrown into the world of the Gentlemen, she learns the brutal truth about the world; professional criminals run society, heroes are extinct, and police are nothing but toys to play with. Artemis Knight has been trained her whole life to be normal. Her abusive father taught her everything she needed to learn to survive in the chaotic world, but being normal is the only skill she can't master. With her friend Brendon Urlay by her side, she unknowingly squeaks by the Gentlemen's radar. Until one day, one of the most dangerous criminals stops by her bakery. The rule is simple; don't upset the system. If you do, you'll be silenced, permanently. As a girl in the male-dominated criminal world, Artemis has already upset the system before making a single move. Unwanted secrets, buried deep in the Gentlemen's past, pour out with the mention of her father. The system has never been more off balanced, and someone needs to take the fall. The Gentlemen's only threat saunters out of the shadows seeking vengeance, creating fear in the royal family of crime.
