Hey, Joe
"Hey, Joe, you like snake?" "Hey, Joe, welcome to Tondo!" "Hey, Joe, what's your name?" It's the phrase that greets every foreign guy in the Philippines on a daily basis. And perhaps nobody personifies the meaning of this moniker better than Ted Lerner, an American whose popular, freewheeling column, "Hey, Joe," has been entertaining readers in the Philippines and overseas for nearly 15 years. In "Hey, Joe," Ted presents a collection of his best Manila stories, a kaleidoscope of funny and bizarre incidents, offbeat characters and keen observations dished up by a wide-eyed foreigner living in a city exploding with life, unfathomable urban chaos and a story around every corner. Readers will hi...
New Israeli Horror
Before 2010, there were no Israeli horror films. Then distinctly Israeli serial killers, zombies, vampires, and ghosts invaded local screens. The next decade saw a blossoming of the genre by young Israeli filmmakers. New Israeli Horror is the first book to tell their story. Through in-depth analysis, engaging storytelling, and interviews with the filmmakers, Olga Gershenson explores their films from inception to reception. She shows how these films challenge traditional representations of Israel and its people, while also appealing to audiences around the world. Gershenson introduces an innovative conceptual framework of adaptation, which explains how filmmakers adapt global genre tropes to local reality. It illuminates the ways in which Israeli horror borrows and diverges from its international models. New Israeli Horror offers an exciting and original contribution to our understanding of both Israeli cinema and the horror genre.

In the Black
Against hundred to one odds, the Ravens fly obsolete aircraft through the rottenest flying weather in the world. Their mission: to fight a war no one admits waging, in the ruggedest unexplored terrain on the planet. Their goal: to prevent the North Vietnamese from outflanking the Vietnam War and overrunning Laos, Thailand, and Cambodia. Disowned by their country, the Ravens wage a ferocious battle for honor, victory, and survival. Joe Lerner is pitched into this whirlwind of violence when he is forced into the Air Force. His trip into the black netherworld of espionage is a descent into a shadow play of deceit. It is a world where you can drink beer with your enemies at night, your friends can unexpectedly vanish forever, and your superiors can be as dangerous as your adversaries. It's all to easy to die horribly in this obscure melee in the dark. It's even easier for personal humanity to perish. The dilemma for Joe is, What price survival?
