Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rebecca Reed and Maria Monk may not be well-known authors today, but these women were publishing sensations in nineteenth-century America. Their lurid tales of life in two North American convents, one in Charlestown, Massachusetts, and the other in Montreal, Canada, sold more than one-half million copies. Reed escaped from the Ursuline convent in Charlestown in 1832. Her dramatic renditions of Roman Catholic ritual practice helped spark a night of violence that resulted in the convent being burned to the ground by an angry mob. Reed's published narrative, Six Months in a Convent, appeared just as the trials of the rioters were ending in 1835, and became an instant literary success. Monk's supporters capitalized on the lucrative market in anti-Catholic literature, by bringing out the pseudo-pornographic Awful Disclosures of the Hotel Dieu Nunnery in 1836. Monk, who claimed her infant daughter had been fathered by a Catholic priest, was in fact a Montreal prostitute rather than a nun. She enjoyed the life of a literary star in New York before her hoax was uncovered. These two narratives are now available for the first time in a single paperback edition. Nancy Lusignan Schultz's introduction provides a fascinating glimpse into the history, development, and marketing of these phenomenal best-sellers. The convent tales by Reed and Monk are classics that must be read by those interested in American studies, popular culture, social and religious history, literature, and women's studies.

Book excerpt: Someone Didn't Want Her to Get Married… Written warnings made it clear that a trip to the altar could mean death for Mary Wilder. She quit planning her fairy-tale wedding to Washington, D.C.'s most eligible bachelor—long enough for her fiancé to hire tough guy Trace Armstrong. Trace's penetrating eyes and pantherlike grace gave the blushing bride-to-be a true case of the shivers. But when the man moved into her home—guarding her every move and stirring suspiciously romantic feelings—Mary wondered how she could exchange vows with her fiancé. With her society wedding just days away, the threats against her became more menacing. Someone was definitely going to stop the ceremony—but was it her stalker or her bodyguard?

And talk to the dead and help them move on. So..okay, I'm not your average 17-year-old girl. Right now, the Veil is shut off, and the Way is closed. Which means the dead can't move on, so, they are camping out on my lawn. I'm trying to open the Way, juggle school and, well, deal with my feelings for two of my best friends. If that isn't enough, notes have been showing up in my locker since I got back from Christmas vacation. Things are getting creepier as time goes on. He's actually starting to scare me, to be honest. But with the guys, I'll be fine. They've got my back. No one is crazy enough to take on Zeke. Right?

Book excerpt: Looking at the cultural responses to death and dying, this collection explores the emotional aspects that death provokes in humans, whether it is disgust, fear, awe, sadness, anger, or even joy. Whereas most studies of death and dying treat the subject from an objective viewpoint, the scholars in this collection recognize their inherent connection with death which allows for a new and more personal form of study. More broadly, this collection suggests a new paradigm in the study of death and dying.
