The joy that I have felt from chronicling these tales is not unlike listening back to a song that I've recorded and can't wait to share with the world, or reading a primitive journal entry from a stained notebook, or even hearing my voice bounce between the Kiss posters on my wall as a child. Having entertained the idea for years, and even offered a few questionable opportunities ("It's a piece of cake! Just do 4 hours of interviews, find someone else to write it, put your face on the cover, and voila!") I have decided to write these stories just as I have always done, in my own hand.

A monitor on the front flashed a green frowning face. Two metal hatches on either side of her base opened to reveal a dozen metal tentacles ending in various medical tools should the need to operate arise.

A tiny vacuum robot screamed as it spun in concentric circles, spindly arms that ended in pincers waving wildly in the air. She is less highly valued as a potential wife than her sister and humiliated by various male characters, by none more than her own husband Petruchio. Katherine's stubbornness and strong will cause her to be denigrated, insulted, and abused throughout the play. While both men and women in the play don't always behave in accordance with traditional gender roles, it is the women-and particularly Katherine-who are punished for such behavior. Perhaps with the exception of Petruchio, these men do not live up to the masculine ideal of a commanding husband in control of his wife, just as Bianca and the widow Hortensio marries turn out not to be the epitomes of female obedience their husbands may have thought they were. In the last scene of the play, Petruchio, Baptista, Hortensio, and Lucentio tease each other over who is ruled by his wife and is thus less of a man. The quiet, mild-mannered Bianca, for example, plays the traditional role of a woman well, while Katherine rebels against this stereotype with her boisterousness and refusal to be ordered around by a man. The play is filled with characters who fit and don't fit traditional gender roles-particularly the idea of the male as dominant and the female as submissive. Issues related to gender are hugely important in this play, which centers around Petruchio "taming" Katherine and forcing her into the traditionally submissive role of a wife.

The novel begins in the desolate hills of Saudi Arabia in 1978, as a covert special ops mission goes violently awry. Ghouls is technically not his first novel, but it is his first major novel and is characteristic of his later works though not quite as graphic. My first reread was Seth Pfefferle’s Stickman, some time ago my second is Edward Lee’s Ghouls (1988):Įdward Lee is known as one of the most “hardcore” horror authors writing today, combining graphic sex and violence with supernatural horror. A lot of pretty good books have come and gone, and deserve at least a mention. After starting the blog, though, I decided to hunt down and reread those novels which stayed with me through the years. In fact, I gave up on reading horror for a number of years due to my frustration. When I was a teenager, I used to read a lot of horror novels, some good, many very bad. Her disappearance was widely reported in the news at the time, as she was not the first woman to have vanished or met a tragic end in Fell. She was a night clerk working at the local Sun Down Motel, a seedy establishment where somehow persisted while other businesses closed down or moved away, when one day she failed to show up for work. Thirty-five years ago, a young woman named Viv Delaney went missing from the small, dwindling town of Fell, New York. It had that way of getting under your skin.

I received a review copy from the publisher. Audiobook Review: The Sun Down Motel by Simone St. James Like Big Tobacco-with its powerful lobbying groups and sophisticated business practices-porn companies don't simply sell products. Going from the backstreets to Wall Street, Dines traces the extensive money trail behind this multibillion-dollar industry-one that reaps more profits than the film and music industries combined. To differentiate their products in a glutted market, producers have created profitable niche products-like teen sex, torture porn, and gonzo-in order to entice a generation of desensitized users. As porn culture has become absorbed into pop culture, a new wave of entrepreneurs are creating porn that is even more hard-core, violent, sexist, and racist. But, as Dines shows, today's porn is strikingly different from yesterday's Playboy. Astonishingly, the average age of first viewing porn is now 11.5 years for boys, and with the advent of the Internet, it's no surprise that young people are consuming more porn than ever. Students and educators describe her work as "life changing." In Pornland-the culmination of her life's work-Dines takes an unflinching look at porn and its affect on our lives. She attends industry conferences, interviews producers and performers, and speaks to hundreds of men and women each year about their experience with porn. Professor Gail Dines has written about and researched the porn industry for over two decades. |
