Magic. God's. Demigods. None of it's real, right? My life used to be normal. I worked two jobs to save for college, looked after my mother who was ill, and had three very close friends who meant the world to me. Until one night, everything changed. Now, I'm stuck living here in this gated community as a punishment for murdering someone. The catch? I don't remember any of it. I've always suffered blackouts but I never dreamed I could blackout out and not remembering someone die. How could I forget something that horrible? While I struggle to regain my memories, I also have to deal with new college classes my father insists I take. As the days go by, I start to bond with my step brothers and a mysterious stranger enters my life. I am intrigued by him but also drawn to the others. Is it possible to fall for more than one person? When secrets are revealed, I have no choice to accept, things may not be as clear as I thought.

"Throughout history, the religious imagination has attempted to control nothing so much as our bodies: what they are and what they mean; what we do with them, with whom, and under what circumstances; how they may be displayed-or, more commonly, how they must be hidden. Religious belief and mandate affect how our bodies are used in ritual practice, as well as how we use them to identify and marginalize threatening religious Others. This book examines how horror culture treats religious bodies that have stepped (or been pushed) out of their 'proper' place. Unlike most books on religion and horror, This book explores the dark spaces where sex, sexual representation, and the sexual body come tog...
This edited volume explores the role of arts and meditation within educational settings, and looks in particular at the preventive and developmental function of the arts in educational contexts through different theoretical perspectives. Encompassing research from an array of disciplines including theatre, psychology, neuroscience, music, psychiatry, and mindfulness, the book draws insights relevant to a broad spectrum of interdisciplinary fields. Chapters are divided into thematic sections, each outlining praxes and emphasising how educating within and through the arts can provide tools for critical thinking, creativity and a sense of agency, consequently fulfilling the need of well-being and contributing towards human flourishing. Ultimately, the book focuses on the role the arts have played in our understanding of physical and mental health, and demonstrates the new-found significance of the discipline in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. With its interdisciplinary and timely nature, this book will be essential reading for scholars, academics, and post-graduate researchers in the field of arts education, creative therapies, neuroscience, psychology, and mindfulness.
