Featuring contributions from over eighty original cast members,
creatives, crew and audience members, Out For Blood pieces together
the surprising, hilarious and often-moving inside story of Carrie
The Musical to discover how this ‘horror of a Broadway musical’
lived, died and was subsequently resurrected as a mainstream
success story. In 1988, following the success of its production of
Les Misérables and in the wake of the commercial success of
mega-musicals such as Cats, Phantom of the Opera and Chess, the
Royal Shakespeare Company agreed to co-produce a musical based on
Stephen King’s Carrie, written by the team behind Fame. The
result was one of Broadway's most infamous disasters. Plagued by
technical problems, on-stage chaos and a critical savaging, Carrie
would soon become the by-word for musical theatre flops. But thanks
to the efforts of a vocal army of fans and the impact of bootleg
trading and emerging online communities, the show reinvented itself
as a mainstream success story with thousands of productions
worldwide. Patching together memories, archive material and
contemporary reports, Out For Blood dives into the origins and
development of this infamous show and examines how a promising
entertainment product can swiftly gain a notorious reputation, what
makes or breaks a Broadway show, and how even the most unlikely of
musicals can find its place in the hearts of fans around the world.
Based on the hit ten-part podcast, Out For Blood will delight
theatregoers, flop aficionados and ‘Friends of Carrie’ alike.

music in the 1980s, combine the rawness and venom of New York punk
with the moody textures of groups like the Doors and the Velvet
Underground. A major force in English post-punk, the band remains

hooks. TURQUOISE DAYS covers the band's entire career, from its
inception in 1978 to its present comeback. It documents in heady
detail the forces that gave rise to the group, their early stumbles
and successes, and the qualities that have kept them in the musical
limelight. An exhaustive critical history and biography, this
lavishly illustrated book also includes the complete lyrics of Ian
McCulloch's songs; hundreds of quotes from the Bunnymen, their
fans, and their critics; and a behind-the-scenes, completely

In The Grail Guitar: The Search for Jimi Hendrix's Purple Haze
Telecaster, Chris Adams takes readers on a fascinating mystery tour
to determine whether a Fender Telecaster bought secondhand in a
London music store in 1973 was the one used by Jimi Hendrix to
record "Purple Haze" in January 1967. The only clues are its
left-handed tuners and the salesman's chance remark that the guitar
was brought into the shop by a Hendrix roadie. But these are enough
to set the author off on this intriguing journey into Hendrix
history. With firsthand details from model Linda Keith, who
discovered Hendrix in New York, Adams recounts how the rising star
left for London with a white Stratocaster belonging to Keith
Richards. The man who made Hendrix's pedals explains how this Strat
failed to make the "Purple Haze" recording session and how it was
replaced by a borrowed Telecaster. As Adams tracks down the
surviving musicians, they shed light on the fate of that Telecaster
and gradually the two guitars begin to merge into one. Throughout,
Adams weaves his own story as a rock musician and tells how,
against the odds, he managed to hold on to this remarkable
instrument. Here is a riveting story of one man seeking the truth
about a cultural artifact that changed rock history, a story for
rock fans and guitar aficionados, treasure hunters and antique
dealers, as well as anyone who likes a detective story.

Old time lawman Charlie Crow finds peace and tranquility in
Wyoming, but before he can settle down with the woman he loves, he
must face a distant and dangerous past. The long forgotten trail
leads back to the lawless Texas borderlands and a date with
destiny. Old ghosts, graves and range wars; greed and double cross
mark the long trail back to his youth. His quick gun is wanted one
last time if the town of Carol Creek is to survive the threatened
chaos. From behind a county badge, Crow tries desperately to ride
out the storm and return to Cheyenne, and the woman he left behind.
Young gunfighter Billy Joe Watts rides hard on the lawman's tail,
determined to kill the one man he fears. It is a long, hard ride
for a man named Crow...
Harry James Luck, Civil War veteran, US Cavalry captain, sometime
lawman, gambler and part-time town drunk, resigns his army
commission and heads south to the High Plains country of Texas in
the hope of settling down to a trouble and conflict free life. He
meets the lovely Bonnie Luxford, buys a small but attractive ranch
and sees his trail clear ahead and going on forever. Texas trails
never run straight, though, and a wandering band of Comancheros
bring the dream to a fire-ravaged close. Harry knows he cannot
forever hide in a bottle and with an elderly Comanche as his only
companion, he sets his sights on a new road, a trail of revenge.
The two men, together with a small company of adventurous young
Texas Rangers and an over-the-hill lawman, seek out the infamous
Comanchero Miguel Sanchez and beard him in his own den, a little
Mexican hamlet without a name. What followed went down in Western
folklore as the Gunfight at the Nameless Village.
This book integrates humanist approaches in enabling both spiritual
growth and social science knowledge in advocating for the
emancipation of exploited women, children and youth, based on
critical realism. Through an autoethnographic account of the first
author's journey from being a secular Jew, through Anglicanism, to
Quakerism and then Islam, a pacifist-based social science
methodology is developed. This approach describes attempts to
understand and liberate sexually exploited youths in Bangladesh;
exploited women and girls in Pakistan; and struggling women in
Gaza, Palestine. The model attempts to integrate moral goals of
Judaism, Christianity and Islam in seeking peaceful co-operation.
Secular humanism is added, creating a research model which seeks
the enhancement of human welfare through the universal ethic of the
social contract, in which humans and their welfare are both
interesting and exciting. A review of research on child sexual
exploitation elaborates the model of child-centred humanism.
In a cricket career spanning nearly 30 years, Chris Adams has
enjoyed some unforgettable moments. He played for England, enduring
a brutal Test debut against South Africa in 1999, and was the
greatest captain in the history of Sussex, turning them from
perennial underachievers into the most successful county of the
2000s. Within two years of becoming a coach, he had made Surrey
trophy winners again. There have been some difficult times, too.
The internecine warfare at his first county, Derbyshire, which led
to his departure; frustrating experiences with the England
hierarchy; and the struggle to control the work-hard-play-hard
culture in the Surrey dressing room, which ultimately ended in
tragedy. Throughout his life in cricket 'Grizzly' has always tried
to remain true to his convictions. Now, as he contemplates his next
challenges in the game, Adams fronts up again and tells his own
remarkable story of a life in cricket.
