What is a scream? What does it mean for a woman to be able to express herself,not to hold back what she feels inside? Every Woman Scream is intimate, powerful and unique, like an unstoppable voice print.

A Woman's Silent Screams is the poignant tale of a woman struggling with the emotional strain of caring for her elderly mother who suffers from Alzheimer's disease, while dealing with the chaos of her own dysfunctional marriage. Throughout her life, Mavis Maxwell has managed to suppress the screams of frustration that reverberate in her head, but lately everything is spinning out of control. Amid the turmoil of care giving, Mavis learns that she cannot always be there for her mother, a once-independent and courageous woman, now battling Alzheimer's disease. After her mother dies, Mavis reminisces about her childhood in an old white house with a tin roof in the deeply segregated South. In the meantime, her third marriage begins to fall apart. She starts to question her faith in God, the choices of politicians, and the heart-wrenching decisions she was forced to make while caring for her hundred-year-old mother. A Woman's Silent Screams takes an introspective look at the circle of life-marriage, friendship, and family-as well as the bonds shared by the strong women of this family.
Following her wealthy husband's death, Merida reinvents herself and vows revenge on those responsible for a traumatic accident years earlier that cost her the ability to speak and left her bound to her elderly partner's obsessions.
In the mid-1990s Turkish cinema experienced a remarkable revival. However, what is particularly unusual about this revival is the emergence of a new representational form: silent, inaudible characters. Equally unusual is the fact that this new on-screen silence had a gender(ed/ing) aspect, since, for the most part, the mute(d) characters were female.

It investigates two central questions: wh...

Together in one book, three of Margaret Bingley's novels of chilling horror. *** SEEDS OF EVIL There was something decidedly strange about the twins—Olivia and Orlando. Maybe it was their appearance that set them apart—their wide almost colorless eyes and silver-blond hair. Or maybe it was something more sinister—the way they seemed to communicate without speaking, remained unmoved by accidents to other people, were fascinated by the sight of blood. Meg loved them of course, as any good mother would. But what of their father, a nameless, faceless donor to an artificial insemination clinic? Who was he and where is he now? Would Meg like, even love, him if they were to meet—or would sh...
The place is Lower Ditton. So peaceful. So silent. But don't let the silence deceive you. It's the silence of the grave. The silence of a village too terrified to scream. The silence of an army of vengeful spirits who've possessed the bodies of young children. And in their lifeless, demonically red eyes, no one is too innocent to die… (previously published as DEADTIME STORY in the U. S.)
