Book excerpt: After identifying the misconceptions attached to the figure of the Mughal Courtesan and then defining it in terms of the dual-component structure of adaa, in the face of a dearth of literature that exists on the culture and the agency of the courtesan, this analysis would reinterpret the status of the courtesan figure within the domain of feminist theories and self-assertion. The female desire for autonomy, according to Elaine Showalter, defines a female exclusivity in terms of the dynamic phase, which is a combination of the feminine conflict between self-fulfillment and duty, the feminist political consciousness, and the female desire for autonomy. If one operates the courtesan figure in the Showalter domain, then the means to resist gender hierarchies through literary practices lie in a combination of both demand for exclusivity and real struggle into a truly subversive aesthetic which would have allowed the courtesan to have walked the corridors of power. Juliet Mitchells argument states that the gendered treatment of women came into existence through the ideological form of the novel, with females constructing themselves as the women they are under bourgeois norms by reading and writing novels. Rereading the Silencing of the Sirens would uncover another such exclusive female tradition studying the female consciousness from the courtesans point of view.

Kylee Paradox never expected to be a protector of humankind, but when hell’s portals open and let loose the creatures of the underworld, she can’t see any other way. Armed with an ultimatum, Kylee has no choice but to embrace her new position as bounty hunter of the damned. Sending these monsters back to purgatory becomes her life’s mission. The only glitches in an otherwise noble pursuit are those who hold her fate in their hands. They forbid her from using her deadly siren song to lure the beasts back to the pit. If she harms even a single innocent soul in her quest, Kylee herself will become one of the hunted.

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.

Book excerpt: It's not easy being a siren. Especially when you have unique powers and an unknown person who wants you dead. For Calliope, opening night at Tartarus was supposed to be an opportunity for everyone to hear the siren sing. However, the night quickly takes a turn for the worse after she discovers that she has magical abilities within her, which sirens shouldn’t be able to have… But when her ex-boyfriend arrives and abducts her, the discovery that someone wants her dead becomes obvious. She pours her raw emotions out, her words evoking the half-demon’s own hidden emotions, and within a week, the Prince of Hell is traveling with her and her two friends to New Orleans to hide while they search for answers. Will the siren be able to stop the person trying to kill her? Will she and Asmodeus find renewed love in their reconciliation? …Or is it all for nothing? Read what happens when the Siren, the Gorgon, The Trickster, and the Cambion team up with the Werewolf, the Elf, the Hunter, and the Shadow Woman in this new adult Contemporary Urban Fantasy!
