The Vagenda
HAVE YOU EVER... Obsessed over your body’s ‘problem areas’? Killed an hour on the Sidebar of Shame? Wondered whether to try ‘50 Sex Tips to Please Your Man’? Felt worse after doing any of the above? Holly and Rhiannon grew up reading glossy mags and, like most women, thought of them as just a bit of fun. But over time they started to feel uneasy – not just about magazines, but about music videos, page 3, and women being labelled frigid, princesses or tramps. So, following the amazing success of their Vagenda blog, they wrote this book. Welcome to your indispensable guide to the madness of women’s media.
Dark Dreams 2.0
Greatly expanded and updated from the 1977 original, this new edition explores the evolution of the modern horror film, particularly as it reflects anxieties associated with the atomic bomb, the Cold War, 1960s violence, sexual liberation, the Reagan revolution, 9/11 and the Iraq War. It divides modern horror into three varieties (psychological, demonic and apocalyptic) and demonstrates how horror cinema represents the popular expression of everyday fears while revealing the forces that influence American ideological and political values. Directors given a close reading include Alfred Hitchcock, Brian De Palma, David Cronenberg, Guillermo Del Toro, Michael Haneke, Robert Aldrich, Mel Gibson and George A. Romero. Additional material discusses postmodern remakes, horror franchises and Asian millennial horror. This book also contains more than 950 frame grabs and a very extensive filmography.

And then she comes to the attention of a handsome and determined playwright. As soon as Adam Lacey sees Laura, he knows he has found the perfect woman to play his heroine Lucinda—he just needs to convince Laura the same. Yet, how was he to know how affected he would be by her violet eyes, fierce intelligence, or her need to look after everything and everyone...including him.
