The 2012 congressional elections played an equally vital role in
determining the future course of America as the presidential race
that topped the electoral ticket. Readers of this book will gain
insights about the formative aspects of the 2012 campaign season as
well as in depth coverage of key races for Congress. Exclusive to
this volume are three chapters that look at important processes
which impacted the campaign cycle: voter suppression laws passed in
nearly every state, the role of Super PACs and independent
expenditures in the wake of the Citizens United Supreme Court
decision, and the results of redistricting and partisan
gerrymandering throughout the country. Then the case studies follow
the path of seven House and six Senate races from inception to
election postmortem. The chapters are both narrative and provide
analysis of an array of interesting and diverse contests from
throughout the country. Each entry was written by one or more
experts living in the state or region of the race. The authors
provide succinct and highly readable chapters meant to illustrate
the distinctive nature of the campaigns they are examining. Readers
will see individual campaigns and elections "up close" and be able
to compare and contrast one from another because of the common
format employed throughout the book. Taken together, the chapters
reveal that the roads to Congress, while similar in so many ways,
each follow a unique route to Capitol Hill.

New York Times best-selling writer Pat Conroy (1945-2016) inspired
a worldwide legion of devoted fans numbering in the millions, but
none are more loyal to him and more committed to sustaining his
literary legacy than the many writers he nurtured over the course
of his fifty-year writing life. In sharing their stories of Conroy,
his fellow writers honor his memory and advance our shared
understanding of his lasting impact on twentieth- and
twenty-first-century literary life in and well beyond the American
South. Conroy's was a messy fellowship of people from all walks of
life. His relationships were complicated, and people and places he
thought he'd left behind often circled back to him at crucial
moments. The pantheon of contributors includes Pulitzer Prize
winners Rick Bragg and Kathleen Parker; Grammy winners Barbra
Streisand and Janis Ian; Lillian Smith Award winners Anthony Grooms
and Mary Hood; National Book Award winner Nikky Finney; James Beard
Foundation Award winners Nathalie Dupree and Cynthia Graubart; a
corps of New York Times best-selling authors, including Ron Rash,
Sandra Brown, and Mary Alice Monroe; Conroy biographers Katherine
Clark and Catherine Seltzer; longtime Conroy friends Bernie Schein,
Cliff Graubart, John Warley, and Walter Edgar; Pat's students
Sallie Ann Robinson and Valerie Sayers; members of the Conroy
family; and many more. Each author in this collection shares a
slightly different view of Conroy. Through their voices, a vibrant,
multifaceted portrait of him comes to life and sheds new light on
the writer and the man. Loosely following Conroy's own chronology,
the essays in Our Prince of Scribes wind through his river of a
story, stopping at important ports of call. Cities he called home
and longed to visit, along with each book he birthed, become
characters that are as equally important as the people he touched
and loved along the way.

The Supernatural Index is the first index to all known anthologies
of supernatural, fantasy, and weird fiction. It covers over 2,100
such books, indexing each volume by contents, author, and title.
Books range from 1813 to date and therefore provide a complete
history of the horror fiction field. Birth and death dates, along
with pseudonyms, are provided for more than 7,700 authors; and for
all the rougly 21,300 stories, every attempt has been made to
provide original publication details. Supernatural fiction
continues to be of interest to modern readers, though many of the
most frequently anthologized ghost stories were written during the
Victorian era. Because so much supernatural fiction has been
published as short stories, anthologies have long been a useful
means of bringing supernatural literature to the readers. This
reference is the first index to all known anthologies of
supernatural, fantasy, and weird fiction. Included are entries for
more than 2,100 anthologies from 1813 to the present. Many of these
anthologies have never been listed previously in bibliographies,
and the volume even includes citations for rare Victorian works.
Entries provide original publication sources for reprinted stories,
including many from obscure magazines not previously indexed. The
book also provides birth and death dates and pseudonyms for more
than 7,700 authors of supernatural fiction. Citations may be
accessed by editor, author, book title, or story title. Also
included is a listing of the contents of each anthology.
