TEENAGE GIRLS CAN BE SAVAGE. Six teenage girls. One deserted island. Removed from civilised society, can they challenge class, identity and toxic femininity to pull together and survive? Or will they descend into savagery? This is the debut novel from Kate Castle, author of the Amazon.com best-selling novella 'Born of the Sea'.
In her lyrical, cumulative rhyme based on the poetic structure of This is the House That Jack Built, award-winning author Julie Lawson tells the story of a young girl who spends a magical day on the beach, building a sandcastle. While she works, the little girl's imagination creates a fairy tale adventure, complete with stately castle walls and whales and mermaids who come to visit. Accompanied by artist Frances Tyrrell's exquisite illustrations, this is a beautiful time capsule of childhood.
The Gothic novel emerged out of the romantic mist alongside a new conception of the home as a separate sphere for women. Looking at novels from Horace Walpole's Castle of Otranto to Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, Kate Ferguson Ellis investigates the relationship between these two phenomena of middle-class culture--the idealization of the home and the popularity of the Gothic--and explores how both male and female authors used the Gothic novel to challenge the false claim of home as a safe, protected place. Linking terror -- the most important ingredient of the Gothic novel -- to acts of transgression, Ellis shows how houses in Gothic fiction imprison those inside them, while those locked outside wander the earth plotting their return and their revenge.
