The Heroine in Western Literature
The impulse that prompts humans to envision themselves as heroic is as inherent to women as to men. The idealization of the hero, however, is an outgrowth of the more primary conception of the god. In Western culture the reduction and eventual denial of the feminine divine has affected cultural perception of feminine principles, particularly archetypal and autonomous patterns. This book delves first into the literary strata from which the archetypes have been culled, the stories of the Bible and the myths of the Aegean, to look at how the characterization of the goddess was revised. Employing evidence from psychology, artifacts and pictorial art, the author shapes an outline for a more authentic figure. The obscure and muted goddess-heroine of ancient literature is then given detail by the articulate voices of the archetype as she reemerges in contemporary fiction.

The Blood-Red Night of Hatchet Valley
Hatchet Valley is a deep rocky cleft in the earth, where people live if they're too mean or too weird for anywhere else. Other folks go there if they need or want to be away from ordinary life, or simply campers. Between these rocky walls drops a catalyst one morning, a peculiar artifact from somewhere else, and within an hour, Hatchet Valley becomes the most dangerous place on Earth, filling up with creatures that are no longer people, no longer animals, but they are voracious, fast, and smart. But if there's one thing that could possibly unite a group of misfit strangers, it might just be such a threat. By dawn, the final confrontation between the remaining survivors of Hatchet Valley and the gray shaggy wave of teeth that hunt them will decide not just the fate of that Valley, but perhaps the entire planet.
George Meredith
George Meredith, 1828-1909, was an English novelist and poet of the Victorian era. This book is of particular interest to scholars interested in his early life, his relationships with his friends, his marriages, and of his work as a journalist. Discussions of his literary output are viewed partially through those relationships, which can be seen as "chatter about Harriet," the book is, nevertheless, replete with quotations from people who knew him during all the phases of his life.

Disruptive Women of Literature
Disruptive Women of Literature: Rooting for the Antiheroine critically examines the representation of the literary antiheroine in contemporary Gothic and crime-thriller novels and traces her emergence from the deviant women of Greek mythology and Shakespeare to the twenty-first century. It explores how the antiheroine shifts dependent on genre, time period, and format, demonstrating that she is capable of both challenging and reaffirming problematic ideologies surrounding women, power, violence, sexuality, and motherhood. Eleanore Gardner argues that the antiheroine is almost always defined by her experience of a patriarchal trauma and must therefore navigate her identity differently and more complexly than her antihero counterpart. The author examines a broad range of texts to understand the antiheroine’s fluidity, her liminal and abject existence, and what these suggest about cultural anxieties surrounding transgressive women.
