Angel of Darkness
A dead Delaware detective uses his ghostly perspective to stop a deranged serial killer from striking again in this “police procedural with a twist” (Kirkus Reviews). Kevin Fahey was a second-rate cop and a lousy father. Following his untimely death, he roams the world in search of other lost souls. At the Holloway Institute for Mental Health in Delaware, he’s drawn to the troubled patients who wander the lonely rooms and corridors. But when a young girl is brutally murdered—seemingly by a convicted serial killer locked up inside the institute—he embarks on a haunting investigation. As Fahey joins the police in tracing the killer’s steps, he must also confront his own personal demons—because one of his sons has joined the troubled youths at Holloway. And when the killing continues, this time on the grounds of the mental hospital itself, there is a very real possibility that his son’s life is in danger. Fahey must find a way to protect those he loves and stop a man he knows to be, quite literally, pure evil.
Angel Among Us
A ghostly Delaware detective must reach the living to save an expectant mother from an untimely demise in this paranormal mystery. In life, Kevin Fahey was an unremarkable cop. But he hasn’t let death stop him from doing his job when he sees something amiss among the living. Haunting the streets of his small Delaware town, he finds himself infatuated with a young preschool teacher who is awaiting the birth of her first child. The love she shares with her husband is balm to Fahey’s tortured soul. But when she abruptly disappears and the town’s suspicions turn against the husband, Fahey must find ways to alert the living to what really happened. Fahey’s investigation takes him to a mansion on the edge of town where a television star and his wife—maimed by too much plastic surgery—live in unhappy silence. As servants come and go, another invisible occupant of the mansion makes his own unhappiness felt—a despair acutely painful to Fahey, his fellow wanderer. Strange visitors, decades-old secrets, and an unlikely hero come together in a desperate race to save the school teacher’s life before it is too late.
The Gathering Dark

Haunted Soundtracks
The turn of the millennium has heralded an outgrowth of culture that demonstrates an awareness of the ephemeral nature of history and the complexity underpinning the relationship between location and the past. This has been especially apparent in the shifting relationship between landscape, memory and sound in film, television and other media. The result is growing interest in soundtracks, as part of audiovisual culture, as well as an interest in the spectral aspects of culture more generally. This collection of essays focuses on audiovisual forms that foreground landscape, sound and memory. The scope of inquiry emphasises the ghostly qualities of a certain body of soundtracks, extending beyond merely the idea of 'scary films' or 'haunted houses.' Rather, the notion of sonic haunting is tied to ideas of trauma, anxiety or nostalgia associated with spatial and temporal dislocation in contemporary society. Touchstones for the approach are the concepts of psychogeography and hauntology, pervasive and established critical strategies that are interrogated and refined in relation to the reification of the spectral within the soundtracks under consideration here.

John Fahey
The much-revered avant-garde guitarist John Fahey (1939-2001) incorporated influences ranging from folk, blues, and bluegrass to classical music, musique concrete, and noise in his primarily acoustic guitar-based compositions. Considered a legend by many, Fahey released upward of three dozen LPs in his lifetime. Relatively late in life, Fahey extended his so-called American Primitive approach beyond music, and into the creation of a substantial body of paintings created in makeshift studios in and around Salem, Oregon. Painting on found poster board and discarded spiral notebook paper, working with tempera, acrylic, spray paint, and magic marker, Fahey's intuitive approach echoes the action painters and abstract expressionists. The same alluring and tranquilizing aesthetics that defines much of Fahey's musical output are equally present in his paintings. The first publication focusing on his visual output, John Fahey: Paintings, edited in collaboration with Audio Visual Arts (AVA), is illustrated with 92 plates and is accompanied by essays from Keith Connolly, founding member of No-Neck Blues Band, and the critic Bob Nickas.
The Essential HBO Reader
Essays on the history of HBO, a company designed to please audiences instead of advertisers, and the impact of its distinctive programming: “Recommended.” —Choice The founding of Home Box Office in the early 1970s—when it debuted by telecasting a Paul Newman movie and an NHL game to 365 households in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania—was a harbinger of the innovations that would transform television as an industry and a technology in the decades that followed. HBO quickly became synonymous with subscription television—and the leading force in cable programming. Over decades, it’s grown from a domestic movie channel to an international powerhouse with a presence in over seventy countri...
