What's a normal author to do when, just as he's starting his new novel, discovers his main character has not only already completed the main goal of the whole story, but isn't happy with anything he's putting her through so far?

Robert Bresson's films are often discussed in terms of their spiritual nature in relation to Bresson's Calvinist upbringing. While this is an effective strategy for interpreting most of his films, a shift in his later work occurs where the absence of God is felt amidst the chaos of the worlds he portrays. While grace was prevalent in the director's earlier films, his later films focus on despair in the face of an inaccessible God, presenting characters that are unable to transcend the material world. This book explores the new role spirituality plays in his final three films and how this reflect a change in his vision of man's relationship to God in the modern world. It examines the ways he continues to work spirituality into these films while portraying world's where the presence of the sacred is increasingly obscured and suppressed. Examining these ideas presents us with the interesting dichotomy of films which contain spirituality within their stylistic and narrative traits yet portray worlds where God is nowhere to be found and aims to shed new light on the oeuvre of a director who still holds a strong influence on modern filmmakers and cinephiles alike.

Savannah is one of America's most beautiful and historic cities. Yet underneath the mint juleps, oaks bearded with Spanish moss and the splendor of colonial architecture, there lurks a deadly undercurrent. This is a first-person account of an award-winning newspaper crime reporter's career, covering scores of murders in the Savannah area, including one of the bloodiest eras in the city's history: in 1985, metro Savannah earned notoriety with the nation's highest homicide rate. The author describes a wide range of crimes, including murders over a 14-year-old lover, $4 for hamburgers or a baby carriage; the grisly murders of voodoo priests; bound corpses in the waterways and interstate body dumping grounds; the Scarecrow and "Say Cheese" Killers, serial killer Wade Sheffield; and many more.

July 1, 1863. The Confederate Army of Northern Virginia under General Robert E. Lee advanced across the Pennsylvania countryside toward the small town of Gettysburg-less than 90 miles from Washington, D.C.--on a collision course with the Union Army of the Potomac. In Lee's ranks were 5,000 South Carolina troops destined to play critical roles in the three days of fighting ahead. From generals to privates, the Palmetto State soldiers were hurled into the Civil War's most famous battle-hundreds were killed, wounded or later suffered as prisoners of war. The life-and-death stories of these South Carolinians are here woven together here with official wartime reports, previously unpublished letters, newspaper accounts, diaries and the author's personal observations from walking the battlefield.
