A Vision in Death
Author: Celia Roman
Publisher: Bone Diggers Press
ISBN: 1943465630
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 35
Book Description
When people touch me, I foresee their deaths. The visions are mine. Only I can choose what to do about them. While traveling cross-country searching for the blood and pain I'd foreseen in a vision, I landed in rural Ohio courtesy of a kindly soul. Lou was a good woman, a solid, faithful, salt of the Earth type. And on Friday, she was going to die. I'd long ago learned that nothing I did would deter fate's course. But I couldn't leave Ohio without trying to save Lou. Fate, though, had more in store for her than a simple death by hit-and-run. Far more. And her fate brought me face to face with a terror from my own past, a terror I had to stop before it used Lou to unleash the wild magic and create something much worse than the death I had foreseen. A prequel to the Kaya Fox Series.

Neil Jordan
Author: Maria Pramaggiore
Publisher: University of Illinois Press
ISBN: 0252075307
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 218
Book Description
Best known for his enormously successful independent film The Crying Game, Irish director Neil Jordan has made sixteen feature films since 1982. Even after achieving commercial success and critical acclaim with such films as Interview with the Vampire and The Butcher Boy, Jordan remains a curiously elusive figure in the era of the celebrity filmmaker. Maria Pramaggiore addresses this conundrum by examining Jordan's distinctive style across a surprisingly broad range of genres and production contexts, including horror and gangster films, Irish-themed movies, and Hollywood remakes. Despite the striking diversity of Jordan's films, the director consistently returns to gothic themes of loss, violence, and madness. In her sophisticated examination of Mona Lisa, Michael Collins, and The Good Thief, Pramaggiore shows how Jordan presents these dark narratives with a uniquely Irish and postmodern sense of irony. This illuminating analysis of one of the cinema's most important artists will be of keen interest to movie enthusiasts as well as students and scholars of contemporary film."

Gothic Vision
Author: Dani Cavallaro
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1847141897
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 241
Book Description
The Gothic Vision examines a broad range of tales of horror, terror, the uncanny and the supernatural, spanning the late-eighteenth century to the present, and of related theoretical approaches to the realm of dark writing. It argues that such narratives are objects for historical analysis, due to their implication in specific ideologies, while also focusing on the recurrence over time of themes of physical and psychological disintegration, spectrality and monstrosity. This is an excellent overview of a genre that is increasingly studied in literature, film, and cultural studies courses.
