Pages : 536
Book Description
To Chuito the apartment was a self-imposed prison for a lifetime of sins. To Alaine, the girl next door, it was salivation from her overbearing, religious father. He was a devil. She was an angel. Two people who should've never met, let alone become friends, but it's not until they give in to the dangerous passion that's been simmering under the surface for five years that things go to hell. On the outside, Chuito "The Slayer" Garcia in on top of the world. He's successful. He's wealthy. He's a champion MMA fighter surrounded by friends who support him, but they don't know what he was before he came to Garnet. A gangster. A thief. An addict. A murderer. Now his past is churning up demons he can't ignore. Chuito knows he needs to go back to Miami to end it, but there's something holding him back, a single temptation he can't resist before leaving. Alaine. She's the one drug he can't give up...even if it destroys them both. "To me you're coke. Fine. Smooth. Perfectly white. Very bad for me, but so sexy I don't care. It's worth going down for." --Chuito Garcia

Such a Dark Thing
Author: M. Jess Peacock
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1630878189
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 162
Book Description
Evil, death, demons, reanimation, and resurrection. While such topics are often reserved for the darker mindscapes of the vampire subgenre within popular culture, they are equally integral elements of religious history and belief. Despite the cultural shift of presenting vampires in a secular light, the traditional figure of the vampire within cinema and literature has a rich legacy of serving as a theological marker. Whether as a symbol of the allure of sin, as an apologetic for assorted religious icons, or as a gateway into a discussion of liberationist theology, the vampire has served as a spiritual touchstone from Bram Stoker's Dracula, to Stephen King's Salem's Lot, to the HBO television series True Blood. In Such a Dark Thing, Jess Peacock examines how the figure of the vampire is able to traverse and interconnect theology and academia within the larger popular culture in a compelling and engaging manner. The vampire straddles the ineffable chasm between life and death and speaks to the transcendent in all of us, tapping into our fundamental curiosity of what, if anything, exists beyond the mortal coil, giving us a glimpse into the interminable while maintaining a cultural currency that is never dead and buried.

Her Stories
Author: Elana Levine
Publisher: Duke University Press
ISBN: 1478009063
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 267
Book Description
Since the debut of These Are My Children in 1949, the daytime television soap opera has been foundational to the history of the medium as an economic, creative, technological, social, and cultural institution. In Her Stories, Elana Levine draws on archival research and her experience as a longtime soap fan to provide an in-depth history of the daytime television soap opera as a uniquely gendered cultural form and a central force in the economic and social influence of network television. Closely observing the production, promotion, reception, and narrative strategies of the soaps, Levine examines two intersecting developments: the role soap operas have played in shaping cultural understandings of gender and the rise and fall of broadcast network television as a culture industry. In so doing, she foregrounds how soap operas have revealed changing conceptions of gender and femininity as imagined by and reflected on the television screen.
