Anything can happen ... in the dead of night! Get ready for action, thrills, even romance as Status slips through a dimensional doorway into another world and AK searches for his missing partner. About the show, from Black Vvideo: Dead of Night is a mid-90’s SOV action-horror series hailing from Spokane, WA. Created by two sci-fi/horror super fans (who at the time were coworkers doing overnight mall security), Wayne Spitzer and Andy Kumpon are Status and AK, enforcement officers for the mysterious Viktor Corporation. In their mission to monitor and protect their strange little town, they encounter interdimensional beings, lictors, basilisks, gelatinous spirit guides, flux-cores, bad teenagers, badass women and mullet-bearing beefcakes. And they can shoot (and smoke) their way out of almost anything! Dead of Night was a late-night cable staple that captivated and inspired an entire generation of Washingtonians to look up at the night skies a bit longer and look over their shoulder a bit more often.

Book Description
Like other Arab revolutions in 2011, it is said that Yemen's rebellion was modeled on street protests in Tunis and Cairo. As this erudite new study explains, however, what happened in Yemen is far from being a mere echo of events elsewhere. In fact, the popular uprisings which came as a surprise in Tunisia and Egypt, Libya and Syria, were already well underway in Yemen. As early as 2007, this country on the southern tip of the Arabian Peninsula was embroiled in sit-ins, demonstrations, and open rebellion against the government. The author ably demonstrates how Yemen's political upheaval is rooted in divisions and conflicts of the past, especially the country's troubled national unification in 1990. Based on years of in-depth field research, this book unravels the complexities of the Yemeni state and its domestic politics with a particular focus on the post-1990 years. The central thesis is that Yemen continues to suffer from regional fragmentation which has endured for centuries. En route the book discusses the rise of President Salih, his tribal and family connections, Yemen's civil war in 1994, the war's consequences later in the decade, the spread of radical movements after the US military response to 9/11, and finally developments leading to the historic events of 2011. Politics in this strategically important country is crucial for many reasons, not least on account of its links to al-Qaeda terrorism. The United States and western allies have good reason to regard Yemen as a security risk. This book sets a new standard for scholarship on Yemeni politics, and it is essential reading for anyone interested in the modern Middle East, the 2011 Arab revolts, and 21st century Islamic politics.

But a late-night knock on the door breaks the spell. Ruth and G. H. are an older couple—it’s their house, and they’ve arrived in a panic. They bring the news that a sudden blackout has swept the city. But in this rural area—with the TV and internet now down, and no cell phone service—it’s hard to know what to believe. Should Amanda and Clay trust this couple—and vice versa? What happened back in New York? Is the vacation home, isolated from civilization, a truly safe place for their families? And are they safe from one other?
