Identity, fame, net worth. Go ahead, judge a book by its cover. It's not every day that a Hollywood publicist gets hit by a car. Melissa Meszaros is on her way to a Judas Priest concert when the accident happens. The traumatic brain injury she sustains changes everything. Her life is turned upside down. Her steady job as publicist and trusted friends and colleagues are called into question. Even her own reflection staring back at her from the mirror seems alien. As she navigates the legal and medical battles before her, Melissa also begins to challenge her own fractured self. For a publicist, identity is everything. What begins as a series of snapshot memories soon becomes an inspiring personal tale of recovery, as Melissa questions both her own identity and her career. What does it mean to suddenly disappear from a rock’n’roll lifestyle when your whole professional life has been dedicated to making others famous? Heavy Metal Headbang is a defiant memoir like no other, confronting our celebrity-obsessed culture as well as the social challenges that come with recovering from a life-changing injury.
You don't know Jutte Shelley, but you might know her family. Before she was a Shelley, she was a Frankenstein. These days, she's a Detroit Special Ops officer. At least she was, until she and her entire team were ambushed during what should have been a routine call. Jutte watched as, one by one, her friends were gunned down. And then, in a flurry of bullets, Jutte fell too. But Jutte isn't like other people. She's a Frankenstein. And she knows all her family's secrets. Guess who's getting the gang back together?
The explosive climax to the Prodigal Sons storyline! Eddie thought his plan was simple enough, but he couldn’t have imagined that even dead there’d be a hit out on his corpse. While he tries to finish what he started in the netherworld, it’s up to his brother, Morgan, to keep his body safe while trying to figure out exactly why they’re so hellbent on killing his brother for good, and the secret history of their curse. The answers are guaranteed to surprise everyone!
Kim is suspended from her job as a Grim Reaper and is working in a bakery with Becka--a welcome change of scenery, until a zombie rolls up to the counter. Animated corpses are the last straw, gosh darnit, so the pair decide to take matters into their own hands and venture down into the Underworld. And if they end up kicking some ghoulish booty on the way, that's fine with them!
Becka and Tyler have been discovered as mortal tourists by the vampires, and now they're trapped the top of Castle Vampire Island, with no Kim in sight! Luckily, they've got a new friend to help them out. They don't really know much about Charlie, though—except that Charlie has suspiciously large teeth. And a tragic backstory! Uh oh, it's going to be a long night.
THE END IS HERE. The final installment that will bring the award-winning series to a close.
Eddie and his pal Pauly Bones tried to play a demon's game. They tried to bargain with infernal forces for their own lost souls. And it blew up in their faces. Now they're lost in an ancient cemetery, stalked by hired guns and demons alike. No wonder one of these two is planning on double-crossing the other!

The present volume explores the meeting ground between Critical Discourse Studies and Cultural Linguistics. The contributions investigate culture-specific conceptualisations, ways of framing and conceptual metaphors in political discourse, as well as cultural models, cultural stereotypes and stereotyping. The individual authors use quantitative (e.g. corpus-based approaches) and/or qualitative methods. They address a range of contexts, e.g. Europe, the US, Japan, West Africa, and a variety of topics, e.g. migration, presidential elections, identity, food culture, concepts of health. The papers included in this volume show that ideologies, the key concern of Critical Discourse Studies, cannot be analysed independently of cultural conceptualisations. In a complementary, dialectic fashion, cultural conceptualisation, the central concern of Cultural Linguistics, have ideological implications, sometimes subtle, sometimes very straightforward. The present volume thus illustrates that travelling on this meeting ground is a natural and fruitful endeavour for both approaches.
