Shen Qiao is a devout Daoist priest who has spent his life honing his skills and spirit, leading his sect with martial talent, beauty beyond measure, and an earnest heart. His polar opposite, Yan Wushi, leads one of the most powerful demonic sects and is said to be unrivaled in his strength and cunning. Yan Wushi believes in the inherently selfish nature of all people—himself included—and that nobody is above committing dark deeds for their own benefit.
When a fight leaves Shen Qiao injured, blind, and with hazy memories, Yan Wushi takes in the defeated sect leader with a dark plan: test the limits of the man’s patience and faith in others to lure him onto the demonic path. Little does he know that he is about to meet the first immovable force of his life, and that two hearts can connect in unexpected ways. With the passing of a thousand autumns, who can stay eternal?

Tarot cards have been around since the Renaissance and have become
increasingly popular in recent years, often due to their prevalence
in popular culture. While Tarot means many different things to many
different people, the cards somehow strike universal chords that
can resonate through popular culture in the contexts of art,
television, movies, even comic books. The symbolism within the
cards, and the cards as symbols themselves, make Tarot an excellent
device for the media of popular culture in numerous ways. They make
horror movies scarier. They make paintings more provocative. They
provide illustrative structure to comics and can establish the
traits of television characters. The Cards: The Evolution and Power
of Tarot begins with an extensive review of the history of Tarot
from its roots as a game to its supposed connection to ancient
Egyptian magic, through its place in secret societies, and to its
current use in meditation and psychology. This section ends with an
examination of the people who make up today's tarot community.
Then, specific areas of popular culture-art, television, movies,
and comics-are each given a chapter in which to survey the use of
Tarot. In this section, author Patrick Maille analyzes such works
as Deadpool, Books of Magic by Neil Gaiman, Disney's Haunted
Mansion, Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows, The Andy Griffith Show,
Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and King of the Hill. The cards are
evocative images in their own right, but the mystical fascination
they inspire makes them a fantastic tool to be used in our favorite
shows and stories.
The English translation of this bestselling graphic novel tells the
story of Nok, an old blind man who sells lottery tickets in
Bangkok, as he decides to leave the city and return to his native
village. Through reflections on contemporary Bangkok and flashbacks
to his past, Nok reconstructs a journey through the slums of
migrant workers, the rice fields of Isaan, the tourist villages of
Ko Pha Ngan, and the Red Shirt protests of 2010. Based on a decade
of anthropological research, The King of Bangkok is a story of
migration to the city, distant families in the countryside,
economic development eroding the land, and violent political
protest. Ultimately, it is a story about contemporary Thailand and
how the waves of history lift, engulf, and crash against ordinary
people.
