In Health and Inequality in Standup Comedy: Stories That Challenge Stigma, Sean M. Viña explores the power of open conversations in reducing stigma. Using standup comedy as a lens, the book delves into the experiences of ninety-nine diverse comedians, revealing how they disclose their stigmas in public and what prevents some from having open conversations. The author argues that the scope of stigma resistance is defined by the prejudice of those who stigmatize, making it an unequal endeavor that requires structural change to truly make a difference. Through the voices of these comedians, Health and Inequality in Standup Comedy challenges us to reconceptualize our approach to fighting stigma and discrimination and highlights the importance of implementing policies that decrease segregation. A compelling and eye-opening read for anyone interested in understanding the power of social contact through the unequal, standup comedy world.

A missing archive. A list of potential bloodborns. An assassin who’s finally stepping into the light. In the aftermath of Fane’s vicious games, I'm in desperate need of training. But I get more from the nephilim tasked with my training than combat skills. Between the training warehouse, the recovered portrait of Radnor Harding, and the acid-laced tales of a takeaway owner, an intricate tapestry of secrets unravels—the kind of knowledge the archangels keep me in the dark about. Like the location of the coveted Bloodborn Archive, Fane’s list of potential bloodborn vampires, one of whom lurks closer to home than anyone expected, and the identity of the mysterious assassin with the red sleeve—his grace, the ghost in the mirror. What does he want with me? And why is he coming for me now? *** This book features the worst possible audience to Violet’s love life, a Ford Capri with a mind of its own, and that fancy archangel you’ve all been waiting for. This is book 5 of Not the Same River. This series is complete and should be read in order.

Since then, many authors and editors have produced works that attempt the same comprehensive coverage of the genre. However, these works tend to be either written solely for writers or solely for readers. More often than not, those written for readers tend to be aimed at advanced students or critics of the novel.
