Understanding New Perspectives of Spirituality
This volume was first published by Inter-Disciplinary Press in 2015. This book deals with the rapidly developing field of spirituality. Although having a singularity of focus, the chapters have been written by a cross-cultural and international set of researchers who discuss critical issues from an interdisciplinary perspective. Thus, while a broad range of critical aspects emerge, the chapters are threaded together by the concept of spirituality as a lone walk. While alone, the spiritual journey is also deeply connected to others. As a deeply human experience the chapters in this book therefore reflect the prismatic viewpoints that form the understandings and experiences of the spiritual walk. This book challenges the reader to start to understand the apparent ambiguity this appears to bring to researchers and practitioners. Rather than a roadblock to understanding, the multiple frames and facets this brings it is instead a rich field for the exploration of the human condition.
Words, Worlds, Narratives: Transmedia and Immersion
Words, Worlds, and Narratives: Transmedia and Immersion offers an interdisciplinary discussion of the way in which narrative is transmitted, transformed and translated through the wide variety of technologies and media platforms available in the 21st century. This volume critically engages with the field of transmedia studies and addresses the significance of media to narrative and authorship to immersion. What emerges is a unique look at collaborative scholarship and storytelling which is both disruptive and immersive. Using a diverse archive of narrative forms, including video games, fan fiction, film adaptation and social media, the chapters in this volume explore the narratological, social, political and economic implications of transmedia narrative in the public and private spaces of the digital and the immersive media communities.
Spirituality: An Interdisciplinary View
This volume was first published by Inter-Disciplinary Press in 2016. Even though spirituality can be considered as an innate human potential, one which all are capable of experiencing and developing, it has proven quite difficult to define among scholars. This volume presents various takes and uses of spirituality, looking into describing what it means, together with considering applications of spirituality as a healing measure and practice. Also, spirituality’s presence in the world around us in the form of nature mandalas and world soul is presented in this volume. As well as, spiritual aspects of literary pieces, with rich analysis of story lines and characters, tied back to spiritual parallelism and connotations. This volume represents an interdisciplinary view on spirituality and the various uses this ephemeral term has in different fields of scholarship; it represents a synopsis of the current interesting views scholars, researchers, and practitioners have on spirituality and maters of the spiritual realm.

Policing the Monstrous
This collection of new essays examines how the injection of supernatural creatures and mythologies transformed the hugely popular crime procedural television genre. These shows complicate the predictable and comforting patterns of the procedural with the inherently unknowable nature of the supernatural. From Sherlock to Supernatural, essays cover a range of topics including the gothic, the post-structural nature of The X-Files, the uncanny lure of Twin Peaks, trickster detectives, forensic fairy tales, the allure of the vampire detective, and even the devil himself.
