Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Telling an American Horror Story collects essays from new and
established critics looking at the many ways the horror anthology
series intersects with and comments on contemporary American
social, political and popular culture. Divided into three sections,
the chapters apply a cultural criticism framework to examine how
the first eight seasons of AHS engage with American history, our
contemporary ideologies and social policies. Part I explores the
historical context and the uniquely-American folklore that AHS
evokes, from the Southern Gothic themes of Coven to connections
between Apocalypseand anxieties of modern American youth. Part II
contains interpretations of place and setting that mark the various
seasons of the anthology. Finally, Part III examines how the series
confronts notions of individual and social identity, like the
portrayals of destructive leadership in Cult and lesbian
representation in Asylum and Hotel.
Throughout its limited run beginning in 2014, the HBO series True
Detective has presented viewers with unique takes on the American
crime drama on television, marked by literary and cinematic
influences, heavyweight performances, and an experimental approach
to the genre. At times celebrated and opposed, the series has
ignited a range of ongoing critical conversations about
representations of gender, depictions of place, and narrative
forms. True Detective: Critical Essays on the HBO Series includes a
breadth of scholarly chapters that cross disciplinary boundaries,
interrogate a range of topics, and ultimately promise to further
contribute to critical debates surrounding the series.

Twizzle is the story of my guardian angel, Mora. A hardheaded,
whiskey drinking, cigar smoking, motorcycle riding, card playing,
blues aficionado who felt at home in a kitchen or a smoke filled
bar. Mora lived hard and fast. Her lust for life drove her to try
and live it twice, once through her own years on earth and once
through mine. The lessons she taught and the lessons she learned.
The loved ones she brought into my life whether they walked on two,
three or four legs. My life became her favorite recipe. A stew of
family and friends added at the right times in life. A pinch of
adventure, a dash of heartache and stirred occasionally. She would
do everything in her power to make sure it was a deep and hearty
stew with a great piece of bread for sopping up the gravy. So do
like Mora would do at her favorite hangout, the Fore "N" Aft. Pay
your admission, get your hand stamped and come inside for a good
time.
