Die Blackwater-Saga gilt als eine der besten unheimlichen Erzählungen aller Zeiten. Ein über mehrere Generationen verteiltes Familienfresko. Die Publikation war ein solcher Erfolg, dass sie Stephen King (ein Bewunderer der Werke von Michael McDowell) dazu inspirierte, The Green Mile ebenfalls in sechs Bänden zu veröffentlichen. Blackwater ist anders als alles, was du je gelesen hast. Eine Familiensaga mit einer einzigartigen Atmosphäre schleichenden Grauens. Blackwater erzählt von dem verschlafenen Perdido in Alabama und den Schrecken, die Elinor Dammert über die Familie Caskey und die Stadt bringt. Blackwater Buch 2: Der Damm Die geheimnisvolle Saga der Caskeys wird weitererzählt. Ein gewaltiger Schutzdamm wird gebaut und zur Bestürzung aller taucht eine entfernte Verwandte auf. Doch das ist nicht der einzige Zuwachs in der Caskey-Familie. Stephen King: »Ein Schriftsteller für die Ewigkeit.« Michael McDowell wurde 1950 in Alabama, USA, geboren. 1979 veröffentlichte er mit THE AMULET den ersten von mehr als 30 Romanen. Obwohl er auch Krimis und Komödien schrieb, zählen zu seinen bedeutendsten Werken die Horrorromane COLD MOON OVER BABYLON (1980), THE ELEMENTALS (1981) und die BLACKWATER-Saga (1983), die zuerst in sechs Einzelbänden veröffentlicht wurde - eine Methode, die Stephen King für THE GREEN MILE übernahm. Ab 1985 schrieb Michael McDowell auch fürs Fernsehen, etwa Episoden für ?Tales from the Crypt? oder ?Alfred Hitchcock Presents?. Außerdem verfasste er die Drehbücher für Tim Burtons Filme BEETLEJUICE und NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS. Michael McDowell erkrankte 1994 an AIDS und starb 1999. Tabitha King, die Ehefrau von Stephen King, vervollständigte den unvollendeten Roman CANDLES BURNING, der 2006 erschien. Michael McDowell war ein Meister des Southern-Gothic-Horror, hochgelobt von Stephen King als »ein Schriftsteller für die Ewigkeit«. Und Kings Einschätzung bestätigt sich, denn in den letzten Jahren wurde Michael McDowells Werk nicht nur im englischsprachigen Raum wiederentdeckt, auch in Europa erscheinen seine Romane nun in diversen Übersetzungen mit großem Erfolg.

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Ellen Hopkins comes a new heartbreakingly tender middle grade novel in verse about the bonds between two brothers and the love they share. Now in paperback. Twelve-year-old Trace Reynolds has always looked up to his brother, mostly because Will, who's five years older, has never looked down on him. It was Will who taught Trace to ride a bike, would watch sports on TV with him, and cheer him on at Little League. But when Will was knocked out cold during a football game, resulting in a brain injury—everything changed. Now, seventeen months later, their family is still living under the weight of "the incident," that left Will with a facial tic, depression, and an anger he cannot always control. Afraid of further fracturing his family, Trace begins to cover for Will who, struggling with addiction to pain medication, becomes someone Trace doesn’t recognize. But when the brother he loves so much becomes more and more withdrawn, and escalates to stealing money and ditching school, Trace realizes some secrets cannot be kept.

In search for hegemonic leadership in post-World War II, the U. S. aimed at "winning the minds and hearts" of the cultural elites abroad through cultural diplomacy as an axis complementary with traditional diplomacy: federal agencies such as the USIA, as well as universities and philanthropic institutions developed initiatives-exchange of students and leaders; the Fulbright Program; military and technical assistance; promotion of the English language, TV, and Hollywood-that exported an ideology: the American dream. The book studies the U.S. conflicted relationship with Argentina through the unexpected rapprochment led by President Perón in 1953 and the unstable politics afterwards, within the context of the Cold War in Latin America. The impact of the transnational "sites of contact" for cultural exchange created by the American initiative went beyond the U. S. foreign policy goals, however; and very often the emerging local elite of institutions and professionals associated to the "more modern" American cultural field got involved in local and international political conflicts that contributed to its own division and bore contradictory diplomatic consequences.

A BEST BOOK PICK BY * HARPER'S BAZAAR * ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY "Will sweep you off your feet." —PopSugar In this witty and heartwarming romantic comedy—for fans of Red, White & Royal Blue and Heated Rivalry—an awkward tech wunderkind on a reality dating show goes off-script when sparks fly with his producer. Dev Deshpande has always believed in fairy tales. So it's no wonder then that he's spent his career crafting them on the long-running reality dating show Ever After. As the most successful producer in the franchise's history, Dev always scripts the perfect love story for his contestants, even as his own love life crashes and burns. But then the show casts disgraced tech wunderkind Charlie Winshaw as its star. Charlie is far from the romantic Prince Charming Ever After expects. He doesn't believe in true love, and only agreed to the show as a last-ditch effort to rehabilitate his image. In front of the cameras, he's a stiff, anxious mess with no idea how to date twenty women on national television. Behind the scenes, he's cold, awkward, and emotionally closed-off. As Dev fights to get Charlie to connect with the contestants on a whirlwind, worldwide tour, they begin to open up to each other, and Charlie realizes he has better chemistry with Dev than with any of his female co-stars. But even reality TV has a script, and in order to find to happily ever after, they'll have to reconsider whose love story gets told.

Looking-Glass Wars: Spies on British Screens since 1960 is a detailed historical and critical overview of espionage in British film and television in the important period since 1960. From that date, the British spy screen was transformed under the influence of the tremendous success of James Bond in the cinema (the spy thriller), and of the new-style spy writing of John le Carré and Len Deighton (the espionage story). In the 1960s, there developed a popular cycle of spy thrillers in the cinema and on television. The new study looks in detail at the cycle which in previous work has been largely neglected in favour of the James Bond films. The study also brings new attention to espionage on British television and popular secret agent series such as Spy Trap, Quiller and The Sandbaggers. It also gives attention to the more ‘realistic’ representation of spying in the film and television adaptations of le Carré and Deighton, and other dramas with a more serious intent. In addition, there is wholly original attention given to ‘nostalgic’ spy fictions on screen, adaptations of classic stories of espionage which were popular in the late 1970s and through the 1980s, and to ‘historical’ spy fiction, dramas which treated ‘real’ cases of espionage and their characters, most notably the notorious Cambridge Spies. Detailed attention is also given to the ‘secret state’ thriller, a cycle of paranoid screen dramas in the 1980s which portrayed the intelligence services in a conspiratorial light, best understood as a reaction to excessive official secrecy and anxieties about an unregulated security service. The study is brought up-to-date with an examination of screen espionage in Britain since the end of the Cold War. The approach is empirical and historical. The study examines the production and reception, literary and historical contexts of the films and dramas. It is the first detailed overview of the British spy screen in its crucial period since the 1960s and provides fresh attention to spy films, series and serials never previously considered.

A BEST BOOK PICK BY * HARPER’​S BAZAAR * ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY “The Charm Offensive will sweep you off your feet.” —PopSugar ​ ​ ​ ​ In this witty and heartwarming romantic comedy—reminiscent of Red, White & Royal Blue and One to Watch—an awkward tech wunderkind on a reality dating show goes off-script when sparks fly with his producer. Dev Deshpande has always believed in fairy tales. So it’s no wonder then that he’s spent his career crafting them on the long-running reality dating show Ever After. As the most successful producer in the franchise’s history, Dev always scripts the perfect love story for his contestants, even as his own love life crashes and burns. But then the show casts disgraced tech wunderkind Charlie Winshaw as its star. Charlie is far from the romantic Prince Charming Ever After expects. He doesn’t believe in true love, and only agreed to the show as a last-ditch effort to rehabilitate his image. In front of the cameras, he’s a stiff, anxious mess with no idea how to date twenty women on national television. Behind the scenes, he’s cold, awkward, and emotionally closed-off. As Dev fights to get Charlie to connect with the contestants on a whirlwind, worldwide tour, they begin to open up to each other, and Charlie realizes he has better chemistry with Dev than with any of his female co-stars. But even reality TV has a script, and in order to find to happily ever after, they’ll have to reconsider whose love story gets told.
