Book Description
At 18, Joey Sheffield left home, putting a history of sexual abuse behind her. Fifteen years later, she's summoned home by her sister, Rosemary, to attend the funeral of the man responsible for the crimes committed against her - her father, MacArthur Sheffield. Not wanting to let her sisters down by not showing up, Joey puts her disdain for her parents and the home she grew up in aside and reluctantly returns to Sheffield Manor. Shortly after her arrival, she starts to notice odd occurrences. Voices coming from inside the walls, the stench of her father's cologne, and the aroma of smoke from his favorite pipe tobacco. Things aren't as they seem at Sheffield Manor. When Joey learns that no funeral arrangements have been made for her father, and that no citizens in the town of Cornish, Alabama are aware of his death, she realizes that she's been lured home under false pretenses - and for nefarious reasons. Someone inside the manor wants Joey dead, and they'll stop at nothing to ensure she doesn't leave there alive. *WARNING: This book contains graphic sexual content and adult language.

Halloween, 1977. Mayhem always seems to find Johnny Jump, and always when he least expects it. It found him the night he is pushing his hack with the vivacious Catherine Dupreesitting next to him, when he's flagged down by a fare. Mayhem's name was Rose MacMillan. She's young, no more than twenty, and she looks haggard in her torn shirt and scuffed jeans. She is bruised and bleeding. Somebody has obviously roughed her up. Catherine Dupree suggests they take her to the hospital to get her wounds treated. The girl reacts violently, demanding she instead be taken to Covington East, a sprawling complex of pre-Civil War buildings that once housed an exclusive girls' school but now stands abandoned.Tonight though, is the Saturday before Halloween, and Johnny knows that a huge party is being held on the school grounds, condoned by the city's political elites, who will be in attendance, costumed, drunk, and high. There will also be police; some as revelers, others as keepers of the peace. There is nothing...

Bad Boys
Author: Ann Arnett Ferguson
Publisher: University of Michigan Press
ISBN: 0472126962
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 293
Book Description
Black males are disproportionately "in trouble" and suspended from the nation’s school systems. This is as true now as it was when Ann Arnett Ferguson’s now classic Bad Boys was first published. Bad Boys offers a richly textured account of daily interactions between teachers and students in order to demonstrate how a group of eleven- and twelve-year-old males construct a sense of self under adverse circumstances. This new edition includes a foreword by Pedro A. Noguera, and an afterword and bibliographic essay by the author, all of which reflect on the continuing relevance of this work nearly two decades after its initial publication.

The Supernatural Sublime
Author: Raúl Rodríguez-Hernández
Publisher: U of Nebraska Press
ISBN: 1496214994
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 318
Book Description
The Supernatural Sublime explores the long-neglected element of the supernatural in films from Spain and Mexico by focusing on the social and cultural contexts of their production and reception, their adaptations of codes and conventions for characters and plot, and their use of cinematic techniques to create the experience of emotion without explanation. Deploying the overarching concepts of the supernatural and the sublime, Raúl Rodríguez-Hernández and Claudia Schaefer detail the dovetailing of the unnatural and the experience of limitlessness associated with the sublime. The Supernatural Sublime embeds the films in the social histories of twentieth- and twenty-first-century Mexico and Spain, both of which made a forced leap into modernity after historical periods founded on official ideologies and circumscribed visions of the nation. Evoking Kant’s definition of the experience of the sublime, Rodríguez-Hernández and Schaefer concentrate on the unrepresentable and the contradictory that oppose purported universal truths and instead offer up illusion, deception, and imagination through cinema, itself a type of illusion: writing with light.
