Imperiled Whiteness: How Hollywood and Media Make Race in "Postracial" America
by Penelope IngramIn Imperiled Whiteness, Penelope Ingram examines the role played by media in the resurgence of white nationalism and neo-Nazi movements in the Obama-to-Trump era. As politicians on the right stoked anxieties about whites “losing ground” and “being left behind,” media platforms turned whiteness into a commodity that was packaged and disseminated to a white populace. Reading popular film and television franchises (Planet of the Apes, Star Trek, and The Walking Dead) through political flashpoints, such as debates over immigration reform, gun control, and Black Lives Matter protests, Ingram reveals how media cultivated feelings of white vulnerability and loss among white consumers. By exploring the convergence of entertainment, news, and social media in a digital networked environment, Ingram demonstrates how media’s renewed attention to “imperiled whiteness” enabled and sanctioned the return of overt white supremacy exhibited by alt-right groups in the “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville in 2017 and the Capitol riots in 2021.

In Darkness Waiting
by John ShirleyNo writer combines the "delight in dread" with social consciousness and metaphysical meaning the way John Shirley does. Although In Darkness Waiting begins in much the same vein as many horror novels (mysterious deaths; a small town invaded by evil; plucky, attractive young lovers; the logical level-headed doctor; some salt-of-the-earth townsfolk...) by its end you will have discovered it is not "just another horror novel." With its exploration of the "insect" inside us all, In Darkness Waiting proves more relevant today than ever. Considering a read of In Darkness Waiting is like considering a trip through the Amazon with no weapons and no vaccinations and no shoes. It's like contemplating a journey in the Arctic clad only in your underwear. Or maybe it's more like dropping into one of those spelunker's challenges, those chilling pitch-black shafts into the Earth's crust-and when you get down there your light burns out and you remember the chitinous fauna of the cavern... Unlike undertaking those endeavors, you can get through the harrowing pages of In Darkness Waiting alive (although we are not promising you'll remain unscathed.) Towards the end you'll discover one of the most extreme yet literate passages ever written. It may well be the most outré scene ever created. But John Shirley wasn't after shock alone. Shock is never enough for him.

In Der Dunkel, In Der Tiefe
by Steve VernonEs war Billy McTavishs erste Seereise. Er hatte den Dienst als Konvoi-Eskorte auf der THISTLE, einer Korvette der Royal Canadian Navy, übernommen. Durch U-Boot-Angriffe und Bombenangriffe der Luftwaffe hatte Billy gedacht, er hätte all das Entsetzen gesehen, das der Atlantik einem jungen kanadischen Segler bieten könnte. Aber Big Jimmy Noonan hatte andere Ideen..... WAS DIE LEUTE ÜBER STEVE VERNONS SCHREIBEN SAGEN! "Wenn Harlan Ellison, Richard Matheson und Robert Bloch eine dreiseitige Sex-Tour in einem Whirlpool hatten, und dann kam ein Team von Wissenschaftlern herein, filterte das Wasser heraus und mischte die übrig gebliebene DNA in ein Reagenzglas, das resultierende genetische Experiment würde höchstwahrscheinlich zu Steve Vernon heranwachsen." - Buchgasmus "Steve Vernon ist so etwas wie eine Anomalie in der Welt der Horrorliteratur. Er ist eine der frischesten neuen Stimmen im Genre, obwohl seine Karriere zwanzig Jahre gedauert hat. Steve Vernon schreibt mit einem seltenen Schwindel und Selbstvertrauen und kann seine Leser durch eine ganze Reihe von Emotionen führen, von völliger Angst und Abstoßung bis hin zu Mitleid und Lachen." - Friedhofstanz "Bewaffnet mit einem bizarren Sinn für Humor, einer riesigen Portion Originalität, einem Gespür für Risiken und einem ausgeprägten Verständnis für Charakterisierung - Steve ist auf jeden Fall auf dem richtigen Weg." - Dunkle Entdeckungen "Steve Vernon ist ein schwer zu festnagelnder Schriftsteller. Und das ist eine gute Sache." - Dark Scribe Magazin "Dieses Genre braucht neues Blut und Steve Vernon ist eine ziemliche Transfusion." -Edward Lee, Autor von FLESH GOTHIC und CITY INFERNAL. "Steve Vernon ist eines der besten neuen Talente für Horror und Dark Fiction" - Owl Goingback, Autor von CROTA "Steve Vernon wurde zum Schreiben geboren. Er ist das Richtige und wir haben Glück, ihn zu haben." - Richard Chizmar<br/
