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.

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.
