The Spitefulness of Crabs: Short Stories
by Angelo BasileThree stories. Three different ways to interpret love and death. In "Death in the Theater" someone has hurled poor William into a whirlpool of paradoxical situations that has flung poor William into a vortex of paradoxical situations that overwhelm a quiet spring morning. Who has orchestrated his father's death? A funny and grotesque story. In "The Devil's Love" the devil moves to a small town and opens a domestic hell for the benefit of the inhabitants: a gambling house. But what if the devil is in love with a woman? A story of passion with gothic overtones. The closing story, "Invisible", short and delicate, looks at a life spent in the shadow of self-imposed exclusion of love. In all three cases, conflicting emotions alternate in the reading and give rise to unexpected situations.

Splat!
by Alana AnkhSplat! When a small creature has an unfortunate run-in with his car, Deacon Hearst wonders what in the world hit his windshield. A bird? A butterfly? No, that would make Deacon's crazy life too simple. It is a fairy--or rather a Sidhe--with a gaze the color of the moon and thus eloquently named Mooneyes. The little creature's wing is broken, and it's shivering in the rain, and well... Deacon has a heart, after all. While nursing Moon back to health, Deacon discovers Moon's beauty is more than skin deep. Though they're very different, especially in size, they're alike in their loneliness, their need for affection. Despite the weirdness of the situation, Deacon finds himself falling for his not-quite victim. Deacon thinks it's a hopeless--gah!--love, but what if it isn't? Moon might just have a few secrets of his own, secrets that could change everything in an instant and weave a different path for them both.
Splattered Ink: Postfeminist Gothic Fiction and Gendered Violence
by Sarah E WhitneyIn-depth and refreshingly readable, Splattered Ink is a bold analysis of postfeminist gothic, a literary genre that continues to jar readers, reject happy endings, and find powerful new ways to talk about violence against women. Sarah E. Whitney explores the genre's challenge to postfeminist assumptions of women's equality and empowerment. The authors she examines--Patricia Cornwell, Jodi Picoult, Susanna Moore, Sapphire, and Alice Sebold--construct narratives around socially invisible and physically broken protagonists who directly experience consequences of women's ongoing disempowerment. Their works ask readers to inhabit women's suffering and to face the uncomfortable, all-too-denied fact that today's women must navigate lives fraught with risk. Whitney's analysis places the authors within a female gothic tradition that has long given voice to women's fears of their own powerlessness. But she also reveals the paradox that allows the genre to powerfully critique postfeminism's often sunshiney outlook while uneasily coexisting within the same universe.
