Book Description
The year is 1945. The horrible war that wrapped the world in torment has come to an endyet the torment of young Adam Shoemaker lives on. His father never came back from battle, and his mother is in the hospital with tuberculosis. Homeless, Adam seeks shelter in the Cranberry Street Church belfry but Adam is not alone. The belfry is inhabited by strange spirits. One spirit seems to wish good on others, while the demonic shadows mean only harm. Adam hears them both; they whisper to him and give him power. When thieves break into the church one night, Adam is the only witness, but by revealing himself, he would expose his only home. Adam has a choice. He can listen to the spirit of the belfry and get his family back, or he can side with the shadow beings, who promise justice to the thieves and power he never imagined. Adam feels as though he is being watched, but with the help of new friends, he stays hidden as he fights to decide who he will call on for help. Will he side with the light or the darkness?

Book Description
The Art of the Text contributes to the fast-developing dialogue between textual studies and visual culture studies. It focuses on the processes through which writers think and readers respond visually and, in essays by researchers in literature, screen and visual studies, the volume explores the visuality of the literary and non-literary text, with a sustained focus on French material of the later nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Visuality is appraised here not as a state, but as a set of processes of adaptation, resistance, negotiation, and transformation. By reading visually, the contributors here reactivate the visual-textual relations of canonical texts - from Romanticism to Naturalism, Surrealism to high Modernism; from film to fan literature, television to picture language.
