Book excerpt: In September of 2006, David Blue and his girlfriend Deanne Rae Byrd witnessed horrifying and haunting occurrences at their farm in Port Clinton, Ohio, which challenged their reasoning and logic. They were joined by some unwelcomed and harmful guests, which resulted in David being committed to a psychiatric hospital for six months. David is ready to be released from the hospital-but not from the nightmares that landed him there in the first place. Vowing never to return to the family farm in Port Clinton, David and Deanne are unavoidably pulled back by dark forces. They will not be alone, because joining them is a man in a ballerinas tutu, and sneakers wearing a clowns mask. At the farm, the couple also finds a strange little teddy bear and a horde of creepy little kids. In the meantime, people are disappearing, all the way from Columbus to Port Clinton. A skeleton key with a red ribbon drives a group of strangers to Davids farm. What these strangers cant anticipate is the horror that awaits them.

Book excerpt: Sister Mary Jacalyn was a nun in German Village, Columbus, Ohio, in the 1800s. She was tried and convicted in the disappearance and deaths of over one hundred young girls. Now, in 2007, she has returned with vengeance in mind, and the towns of Columbus and Port Clinton will never be the same as the nun uses her otherworldly abilities to wreak havoc. Sister Mary has the power to alter and recreate a person’s reality as well as control people’s feelings. All over Columbus, residents are feeling her wrath. David, Deanne, and their friends have now returned but are in for a very personal touch. According to the nun, someone opened the portal that connects this world to hers, and they must fix it. Unless the portal is closed, she threatens to force David and his friends into realities of her own making, over and over. If the portal remains open, the group of friends will become lost to another world and another reality. Sister Mary has offered them a chance to end the madness; they must find a way to close the portal or be forever lost wandering the in-between.

Book excerpt: David Blue and his girlfriend Deanne Byrd are ready for a peaceful Labor Day party at his farm in Port Clinton, Ohio. They've invited five of their friends from college to share in the festivities, but events take a strange turn when a freak blizzard descends upon the peaceful Midwestern countryside. Trapped at the farm, unexpected guests soon appear, people definitely not invited. David believes one of the arrivals is actually his doppelgänger -his evil twin-here to destroy David and his friends. But is the doppelgänger real or is David suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder? Can David convince his friends that there really is a doppelgänger in the house, or will they just think him mad? When guests begin to disappear, the tension increases, and no one knows whom to trust. Has David led his friends into a death trap? If so, he is the only person who can save them from his own worst enemy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the first translations of Lewis Carroll's Alice books appeared in Japan in 1899, Alice has found her way into nearly every facet of Japanese life and popular culture. The books have been translated into Japanese more than 500 times, resulting in more editions of these works in Japanese than any other language except English. Generations of Japanese children learned English from textbooks containing Alice excerpts. Japan's internationally famous fashion vogue, Lolita, merges Alice with French Rococo style. In Japan Alice is everywhere--in manga, literature, fine art, live-action film and television shows, anime, video games, clothing, restaurants, and household goods consumed by people of all ages and genders. In Alice in Japanese Wonderlands, Amanda Kennell traverses the breadth of Alice's Japanese media environment, starting in 1899 and continuing through 60s psychedelia and 70s intellectual fads to the present, showing how a set of nineteenth-century British children's books became a vital element in Japanese popular culture. Using Japan's myriad adaptations to investigate how this modern media landscape developed, Kennell reveals how Alice connects different fields of cultural production and builds cohesion out of otherwise disparate media, artists, and consumers. The first sustained examination of Japanese Alice adaptations, her work probes the meaning of Alice in Wonderland as it was adapted by a cast of characters that includes the "father of the Japanese short story," Ryūnosuke Akutagawa; the renowned pop artist Yayoi Kusama; and the best-selling manga collective CLAMP. While some may deride adaptive activities as mere copying, the form Alice takes in Japan today clearly reflects domestic considerations and creativity, not the desire to imitate. By engaging with studies of adaptation, literature, film, media, and popular culture, Kennell uses Japan's proliferation of Alices to explore both Alice and the Japanese media environment.

Book excerpt: What is the essence of story? How does the storyteller convey meaning? Leading scholar Harold Scheub tackles these questions and more, demonstrating that the power of story lies in emotion. While others have focused on the importance of structure in the art of story, Scheub emphasizes emotion. He shows how an expert storyteller uses structural elements—image, rhythm, and narrative—to shape a story's fundamental emotional content. The storyteller uses traditional images, repetition, and linear narrative to move the audience past the story’s surface of morals and ideas, and make connections to their past, present, and future. To guide the audience on this emotional journey is the storyteller’s art. The traditional stories from South African, Xhosa, and San cultures included in the book lend persuasive support to Scheub’s. These stories speak for themselves, demonstrating that a skilled performer can stir emotions despite the obstacles of space, time, and culture.

Book excerpt: Doppelgangers are monsters, hardwired for murder. They are not supposed to have doubts, but this one does. He wishes he could be different. More human, maybe. But even that can't stop him from killing people so he can take their places and live their lives. He has to do it; it's who he is. But when the doppelganger murders a small-town teenager, assumes his shape, and takes over his life, he's shocked by the world he steps into. Engulfed in a whirlwind of peer pressure, messy family dynamics, and a provocative relationship with a beautiful girl, he quickly learns that there's more than one way to be human, and many ways to be a monster. Told in the tortured voice of a most extraordinary teen, this contemporary gothic romance brews a captivating combination of violence, desire, and atonement. Here is the story of a monster yearning for a human life.
