The Flirt's Tragedy

Autor: Richard A. Kaye

Número de Páginas: 258

Examining British, French, and American novels, Kaye (English, Hunter College of the City U. of New York) argues that flirtatious eros in late-18th and early-19th century texts is a largely unexplored, distinct realm of experience. Flirtation in these novels suggests that the aim of desire is not the realization of desire by rather deferral itself. Flirting represented a reckless adventurism that violates middle-class aspirations and interests. The lack of a thorough examination by critical theorists of this vital part of Victorian and Edwardian literature is blamed on a dominating methodology in the field based on the ideas of Michel Foucault.

The Monster's Corner

Autor: Christopher Golden

Número de Páginas: 400

An all original anthology from some of todays hottest supernatural writers, featuring stories of monsters from the monster's point of view. In most stories we get the perspective of the hero, the ordinary, the everyman, but we are all the hero of our own tale, and so it must be true for legions of monsters, from Lucifer to Mordred, from child-thieving fairies to Frankenstein's monster and the Wicked Witch of the West. From our point of view, they may very well be horrible, terrifying monstrosities, but of course they won't see themselves in the same light, and their point of view is what concerns us in these tales. Demons and goblins, dark gods and aliens, creatures of myth and legend, lurkers in darkness and beasts in human clothing...these are the subjects of The Monster's Corner. With contributions by Lauren Groff, Chelsea Cain, Simon R. Green, Sharyn McCrumb, Kelley Armstrong, David Liss, Kevin J. Anderson, Jonathan Maberry, and many others.

Casas Tomadas: Monsters and Metaphors on the Periphery of Latin American Literature and Media

Autor: Carlos A. González

Número de Páginas: 248

'Casas Tomadas: Monsters and Metaphors on the Periphery of Latin American Literature and Media' examines how Latin American writers, filmmakers, and artists use monstrosity to reflect on marginalization, identity, and social trauma. This volume brings together close analyses of literature, film, and visual art from across Latin America, exploring how the monstrous symbolizes resistance to cultural, political, and historical oppression. Organized into four sections—Night Lights, In the Grip of Monsters, Echoes in the Darkness, and Sinister Spaces—the book offers case studies on works by Mariana Enríquez, Samanta Schweblin, Issa López, and others. Each chapter reveals how monsters, from mythic figures to supernatural landscapes, serve as potent metaphors for issues like queer and feminist activism, postcolonial haunting, and socio-political violence. Contributors engage with genres from horror and the Gothic to speculative fiction, situating monstrosity within Latin American experiences of violence, trauma, and resilience. Distinct for its interdisciplinary approach, 'Casas Tomadas' will serve as a key resource for students and researchers in Latin American Studies, Cultural...

Luna Martinez is a street photographer, capturing the unseen moments of life. But when she develops a mysterious photograph that she never took, a chilling realization dawns on her: someone has been watching her every move. As the photographs start to pile up—each one showing Luna in intimate, vulnerable moments—she must confront a terrifying truth: a stranger, a stalker, has been documenting her life for years. As Luna's paranoia mounts, she discovers that the darkroom is not just a place for development—it's a mirror into her very soul, and someone is manipulating the lens to make her their art. With each image more unsettling than the last, she begins to question if the photographer is merely an observer—or someone far more dangerous. Is this obsession rooted in love, or has Luna unwittingly become a subject in someone’s twisted masterpiece? Will she ever be able to escape the camera lens that seems to follow her every step? Can she face the truth about the person watching her, or will she forever remain trapped in the shadows of someone else's creation?

She loved the accidental marriage trope in rom coms. In real life? Not so much… All Justine Willet wanted was a night of fun to help her forget about her cheating scumbag of an ex-boyfriend.

And once upon a time, he friend zoned her in a big way. So, why is he suddenly so reluctant to annul their drunken marriage? Justine has no idea. But she’s starting to wonder if walking away from Khill would be an even bigger mistake than their accidental wedding… Monster Mistake, book 3 in the Sanity Falls series, is a light, low angst, lightly spicy monster romance novella that can be read as a standalone.

Monsters, Monstrosities, and the Monstrous in Culture and Society

Autor: Diego Compagna , Stefanie Steinhart

Número de Páginas: 426

Existing research on monsters acknowledges the deep impact monsters have especially on Politics, Gender, Life Sciences, Aesthetics and Philosophy. From Sigmund Freud’s essay ‘The Uncanny’ to Scott Poole’s ‘Monsters in America’, previous studies offer detailed insights about uncanny and immoral monsters. However, our anthology wants to overcome these restrictions by bringing together multidisciplinary authors with very different approaches to monsters and setting up variety and increasing diversification of thought as ‘guiding patterns’. Existing research hints that monsters are embedded in social and scientific exclusionary relationships but very seldom copes with them in detail. Erving Goffman’s doesn’t explicitly talk about monsters in his book ‘Stigma’, but his study is an exceptional case which shows that monsters are stigmatized by society because of their deviations from norms, but they can form groups with fellow monsters and develop techniques for handling their stigma. Our book is to be understood as a complement and a ‘further development’ of previous studies: The essays of our anthology pay attention to mechanisms of inequality and exclusion...
