![]() ![]() The first book to examine female serial killers through a feminist lens with a witty and dryly humorous tone, Lady Killers dismisses easy explanations (she was hormonal, she did it for love, a man made her do it) and tired tropes (she was a femme fatale, a black widow, a witch), delving into the complex reality of female aggression and predation. ![]() Though largely forgotten by history, female serial killers such as Erzsebet Bathory, Nannie Doss, Mary Ann Cotton, and Darya Nikolayevna Saltykova rival their male counterparts in cunning, cruelty, and appetite for destruction.Įach chapter explores the crimes and history of a different subject, and then proceeds to unpack her legacy and her portrayal in the media, as well as the stereotypes and sexist cliches that inevitably surround her. ![]() Lady Killers, based on the popular online series that appeared on Jezebel and The Hairpin, disputes that claim and offers fourteen gruesome examples as evidence. In fact, serial killers are thought to be so universally, overwhelmingly male that in 1998, FBI profiler Roy Hazelwood infamously declared in a homicide conference, 'There are no female serial killers'. But what about Tillie Klimek, Moulay Hassan, Kate Bender? The narrative we're comfortable with is the one where women are the victims of violent crime, not the perpetrators. When you think of serial killers throughout history, the names that come to mind are ones like Jack the Ripper and Ted Bundy. ![]()

The book also observes the newest generation of models-Adwoa Aboah, Jourdan Dunn, and Joan Smalls-who are shaking up the fashion industry by speaking out about racial prejudice and becoming social media sensations. Supreme Models fills that void, paying tribute to black models past and present: from the first to be featured in catalogs and on magazine covers, like Iman, Beverly Johnson, and Donyale Luna, to the supermodels who reigned in the nineties-Tyra Banks and Naomi Campbell. To date, there has never been an art book devoted exclusively to black models. ![]() ![]() SUPREME MODELS: ICONIC BLACK WOMEN WHO REVOLUTIONIZED FASHION by MARCELLAS REYNOLDS ![]() ![]() ![]() For Trek fans, Roddenberry’s name is revered, godlike.

I thought I’d share with you a little snippet of the story I’m working on now. ![]() ![]() ![]() This heroic high fantasy novel is often compared with Tolkien's 'The Lord of the Rings', which was written many years later. Dart-Thornton's new introduction explains the origin of the Ouroboros symbol and discusses Tolkien's critical reaction to Eddison's work. Lewis was also an admirer, opining that 'no writer can be said to remind us of Eddison'. Tolkien's close friend and confidante, author C.S. Eddison, Tolkien stated, was 'the greatest and most convincing writer of invented worlds ' he had ever read. No doubt their influence remained with him as he wrote The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. ![]() Tolkien, who was aged thirty at the time, praised it in print, writing in a letter that he enjoyed Eddison's books 'for their sheer literary merit'. This epic tale was first published in 1922 under the title 'The Worm Ouroboros'.

The line “I wish you more tippy-toes than deep” accompanies a picture of a boy happily swimming in a pool. It starts out simply enough: two children run pell-mell across an open field, one holding a high-flying kite with the line “I wish you more ups than downs.” But on subsequent pages, some of the analogous concepts are confusing or ambiguous.

I’ve been staring at this paragraph, writing and rewriting it, for the better part of two hours (as of this writing). Also for instance, you might see a bad movie and give it +3 Cannarfs because you expected it to be worse.īelow, I rate 14 by Peter Clines on this scale. So, for instance, you might see the greatest movie you’ve ever seen, and then give it 0 Cannarfs because it was exactly as good as you expected it to be. ![]() It’s a subjective measurement from, -10 to +10, of how good or bad it is relative to your expectations of it.
