Sapphira and the Slave Girl
Willa Cather’s twelfth and final novel, Sapphira and the Slave Girl, is her most intense fictional engagement with political and personal conflict. Set in Cather’s Virginia birthplace in 1856, the novel draws on family and local history and the escalating conflicts of the last years of slavery—conflicts in which Cather’s family members were deeply involved, both as slave owners and as opponents of slavery. Cather, at five years old, appears as a character in an unprecedented first-person epilogue. Tapping her earliest memories, Cather powerfully and sparely renders a Virginia world that is simultaneously beautiful and, as she said, “terrible.” The historical essay and explanatory...

An examination of the fandom that supports the show and a magnified view of the plot.
Ketone Descendants
It began with a Ten-tailed monster, created by witchcraft and magic and spanned 200 years. Epic battles had been waged, won and lost. Murder and intrigue was everywhere and witches and demons coveted the power of the Ketone. The witches were awed by the creature's power. Its ten tails held the power of nine other animals, a lizard for the first tail, a phoenix on the second tail. With an owl for the third, a lemur at the fourth. The furious power of the ox was the fifth. The dark heart of the wolf sat at the sixth and at the seventh tail sat the eagle. The self-centred but kind cat was the eighth and finally, the cunning but honest fox at the ninth. These combined powers made the perfect weapon. Book 4 of the Ketone series closes the loop in the 200 year history of the Ketone and Ketonia as it races to the final chapter.
The Horror Sensorium
Horror films, books and video games engage their audiences through combinations of storytelling practices, emotional experiences, cognitive responses and physicality that ignite the sensorium--the sensory mechanics of the body and the intellectual and cognitive functions connected to them. Through analyses of various mediums, this volume explores how the horror genre affects the mind and body of the spectator. Works explored include the films 28 Days Later and Death Proof, the video games Resident Evil 4 and Doom 3, the theme park ride The Revenge of the Mummy, transmedia experiences associated with The Dark Knight and True Blood, and paranormal romance novels featuring Anita Blake and Sookie Stackhouse. By examining how these diverse media generate medium-specific corporeal and sensory responses, it reveals how the sensorium interweaves sensory and intellectual encounters to produce powerful systems of perception.
