The Town: A Novel
by Shaun Prescott"A powerfully doomy debut" (The Guardian), Shaun Prescott’s The Town is a novel of a rural Australian community besieged by modern day anxieties and threatened by a supernatural force seeking to consume the dying town. This is Australia, an unnamed, dead-end town in the heart of the outback—a desolate place of gas stations, fast-food franchises, and labyrinthine streets: flat and nearly abandoned. When a young writer arrives to research just such depressing middles-of-nowhere as they are choked into oblivion, he finds something more sinister than economic depression: the ghost towns of Australia appear to be literally disappearing. An epidemic of mysterious holes is threatening his new home’s very existence, and this discovery plunges the researcher into an abyss of weirdness from which he may never escape.Dark, slippery and unsettling, Shaun Prescott’s debut resurrects the existential novel for the age of sprawl and blight, excavates a nation’s buried history of colonial genocide, and tells a love story that asks if outsiders can ever truly belong anywhere. The result is a disquieting classic that vibrates with an occult power.

Tracing the Shadow of Secrecy and Government Transparency in Eighteenth-Century France
by Nicole BauerThis book traces changing attitudes towards secrecy in eighteenth-century France, and explores the cultural origins of ideas surrounding government transparency. The idea of keeping secrets, both on the part of individuals and on the part of governments, came to be viewed with more suspicion as the century progressed. By the eve of the French Revolution, writers voicing concerns about corruption saw secrecy as part and parcel of despotism, and this shift went hand in hand with the rise of the idea of transparency. The author argues that the emphasis placed on government transparency, especially the mania for transparency that dominated the French Revolution, resulted from the surprising connections and confluence of changing attitudes towards honour, religious movements, rising nationalism, literature, and police practices. Exploring religious ideas that associated secrecy with darkness and wickedness, and proto-nationalist discourse that equated foreignness with secrecy, this book demonstrates how cultural shifts in eighteenth-century France influenced its politics. Covering the period of intense fear during the French Revolution and the paranoia of the Reign of Terror, the book highlights the complex interplay of culture and politics and provides insights into our attitudes towards secrecy today.
The Tracker
by Antonio Lagares Federico RenziSome people do not choose his life, Miguel could not choose the moment that was just a child participated in the death of his brother. This experience would mark him for life produced in him a condition that prevents him from seeing things from an objective point. His mind rebels and forces him to face reality through Elyran, reality or consciousness that will push him to a dangerous journey through all those moments spent years struggling to forget and that led to their current painful situation. The tracker is a work intended for all audiences in adulthood, a novel that can be framed perfectly in the neopolarism, a thriller without leaving the house in which psychological stress components are loaded work without reaching crossing the threshold of terror. Very much in line of Thierry Jonquet, whose work Tarantula, has served to Pedro Almodovar for his fantastic The Skin I Live In. That's why I think it might be a good time to present, several authors are mixed in their paranormal components arguments, but none has penetrated so deeply into the human mind as you find that I did in my pages. It is a fiction novel with realistic touches that part of a traumatic event to reach an outcome equally traumatic.Some people do not choose his life, Miguel could not choose the moment that was just a child participated in the death of his brother.
