In the tradition of Lisa Jewell and Ruth Ware, Katherine Greene’s debut thriller is a dark descent into the sinister traditions and customs of a small town in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. Yet no superstition will prepare childhood friends Cheyenne and Natalie for the macabre truth that awaits them. Cheyenne Ashby knows the dark and disturbing history of her hometown of Blue Cliff, Virginia, all too well. It’s why she left. Growing up deep within the woods with her eccentric mother, Constance, she was raised on the unusual customs and generational superstitions linked to the local legend of an evil entity that haunts the forest. Five years ago, the bodies of three children were found in the woods. It was a man—not a mythical beast—named Jasper Clinton who was convicted of these heinous crimes. For five years, the town breathed just a bit easier with a real-life monster behind bars. But when another child goes missing, Cheyenne and Natalie are determined to discover the truth and uncover the town’s dangerous secrets rooted in its terrifying past. The two women must confront the reality of the superstitions they always believed in and their town’s complicated connection with who—or what—lives in the woods.

"A vivid, deeply researched account of the tumultuous life of one of the twentieth century's greatest novelists, the author of The End of the Affair. Graham Greene lived a life as strange and compelling as those in his brilliant novels. A journalist and MI6 officer, Greene sought out the inner narratives of war and politics across the world; he witnessed the Second World War, the Vietnam War, the Mau Mau Rebellion, the rise of Fidel Castro, and the guerrilla wars of Central America. His classic novels, including The Heart of the Matter and The Quiet American, are only pieces of a career that reads like a primer on the twentieth century itself. With wit, keen understanding, and compassion informed by recently surfaced letters and new memoirs from Graham Greene's contemporaries, Richard Greene creates a nuanced portrait of a complicated man. An Unquiet Englishman delves into the conflicts that defined Greene-marriage, promiscuity, faith, and mental illness-to bring fresh insights to his work. This sensitive, fascinating biography sheds new light on one of the foremost modern writers"--

Ihre Wiederauferstehung feiern die Untoten nicht erst seit dem »Biss« von Stephenie Meyer. Schon seit Jahrzehnten faszinieren Vampire und Zombies Leser und Filmfans aller Altersgruppen. Richard Greene und K. Silem Mohammad zeigen jetzt, dass einem bei Seelenlosen nicht nur ein kalter Schauer überkommt, sondern auch mal eine frische Brise ins Schädelinnere wehen kann. Etwa dann, wenn wir von der Ethik der Untoten lernen oder Heidegger als das erkennen, was er war: ein Vampirjäger. Ein genauerer Blick in die Welt der Zombies reicht aus, und schon hat man das Leib-Seele-Dilemma verstanden. Lesen Sie dieses Buch und Sie werden sich nie mehr vor der Philosophie gruseln müssen.

Filmy Quentina Tarantina jsou přímo ideálními náměty pro filozofické diskuse, přinášejí totiž závažné otázky týkající se spravedlnosti a etiky, násilí a agrese, řeší povahu příčinné souvislosti a toku času. V této vtipné kolekci článků není žádné téma tabu. Přecházejí od estetické meditace o potocích krve ve filmu Kill Bill k polemice o tom, zda je nevěsta hrdinkou, když je vedena pouze touhou po pomstě, či k otázce, zda se můžeme úplně shodnout na tom, co se stalo, a neshodnout se, zda to, co se stalo, byl zázrak… Jestliže milujete filmy Quentina Tarantina, pak byste měli otevřít tuto knihu a společně se sedmnácti filozofy hledat na tyto (a mnohé další) otázky odpovědi. Jejich pohled na osobu a dílo velkého filmového režiséra vám umožní spatřit jeho tvorbu úplně novýma očima.
