Black Mirror meets Pretty Little Liars in this novel full of
action, suspense and hot romance. Now a major film on Amazon Prime
starring Emma Roberts, Dave Franco and Juliette Lewis! Are you
playing the game, or is the game playing you? A high-stakes online
game of dares turns deadly. Vee doesn't know if she has the guts to
play NERVE, an online game of high-stakes dares. With Ian on her
team, it's easy to agree to another dare. And another. And another.
At first it's thrilling, as the manipulative audience, or
'Watchers', cheer them on to riskier challenges. But things quickly
get out of hand. Just how far will Vee go before she loses NERVE?
Praise for Nerve: 'Ryan's story is thought-provoking and
unsettling...the ending goes off with a bang and a twist.'
Publishers Weekly 'Ryan questions the nature of entertainment and
explores the concept of privacy in a world of increasingly
sophisticated social media. Teens will find themselves drawn in by
the story's possibilities, and unNERVEd by its outcome. Give this
to Suzanne Collins's Hunger Games fans.' School Library Journal
'The commentary on today's life-as-public-spectacle society is
sound. The pacing is relentless, and readers will find themselves
flipping madly to the very last page.' Kirkus Reviews Also by

Speaking about the kind of filmmaking now known as Classic
Hollywood, the most popular and influential cinema ever invented,
Vincente Minnelli once gave away its secret: "I feel that a picture
that stays with you is made up of a hundred or more hidden things.
They're things that the audience is not conscious of, but that
accumulate." How would we go about finding those things? What
method would enable us to retrieve them, and by doing so, to
understand better how Hollywood films got made? The ABCs of Classic
Hollywood attempts to answer those questions by looking closely at
four movies from the 1930-1945 period when the American Studio
System reached the peak of its economic and cultural power: Grand
Hotel, The Philadelphia Story, The Maltese Falcon, and Meet Me in
St. Louis. To avoid the predictable generalizations that have
plagued Film Studies, Ray works with the movies' details, treated
as initially mysterious, but promising, clues: e.g., Grand Hotel's
coffin and room assignments; The Philadelphia Story's diving board
and license plate PA55; The Maltese Falcon's clocks and missing
bed; Meet Me in St. Louis's violinist and ribboned cat. By
producing at least 26 entries for each of these films (one for
every letter of the alphabet), Ray demonstrates that a movie's
details contain the record of the work and ideas that produced
them, the endless negotiation between commercial efficiency and
seductive enchantment. In our unconscious memories, we recognize
something in the movies, something tantalizing and just out of
reach. This book unlocks those memories, making them conscious and
explicit, so that they will help us understand the most powerful
and important storytelling system ever designed.

Doctor Who - new dawn explores the latest cultural moment in this
long-running BBC TV series: the casting of a female lead. Analysing
showrunner Chris Chibnall and Jodie Whittaker's era means
considering contemporary Doctor Who as an inclusive, regendered
brand. Featuring original interview material with cast members,
this edited collection also includes an in-depth discussion with
Segun Akinola, composer of the iconic theme tune's current version.
The book critically address the series' representations of
diversity, as well as fan responses to the thirteenth Doctor via
the likes of memes, cosplay and even translation into Spanish as a
grammatically gendered language. In addition, concluding essays
look at how this moment of Who has been merchandised, especially
via the 'experience economy', and how official/unofficial reactions
to UK lockdown helped the show to further re-emphasise its
public-service potential. -- .
