ÊThis is a book, from the era of the Peaky Blinders, Frank McCourt, author of Angela's Ashes, Êwould have loved.ÊThis book is important for a number of reasons.Ê It deals with a unique time in British history.Ê Norman's story is that of 20th Century Britain, from its beginning with Zeppelin raids over the UK during the First World War, through the Second World War; the birth of the NHS; IRA bombs and the Millennium.Ê It also has no agenda. And surprisingly little emotion.Ê Norman's tenacity and timing with his writing means he is perhaps one of the very first 'citizen journalists.Õ Technology now allows many people to record their life stories and recollections. But Norman was one of the first, perhaps unwittingly, to use the new technology of the time, the PC, to tell his story.Ê All for the love of his family. Ê

This book is available as open access through the Bloomsbury Open Access programme and is available on www.bloomsburycollections.com. This book explores what is at stake in our confessional culture. Thomas Docherty examines confessional writings from Augustine to Montaigne and from Sylvia Plath to Derrida, arguing that through all this work runs a philosophical substratum - the conditions under which it is possible to assert a confessional mode - that needs exploration and explication. Docherty outlines a philosophy of confession that has pertinence for a contemporary political culture based on the notion of 'transparency'. In a postmodern 'transparent society', the self coincides with its self-representations. Such a position is central to the idea of authenticity and truth-telling in confessional writing: it is the basis of saying, truthfully, 'here I take my stand'. The question is: what other consequences might there be of an assumption of the primacy of transparency? Two areas are examined in detail: the religious and the judicial. Docherty shows that despite the tendency to regard transparency as a general social and ethical good, our contemporary culture of transparency has engendered a society in which autonomy (or the very authority of the subject that proclaims 'I confess') is grounded in guilt, reparation and victimhood.

With several million copies sold in the last fifty years, My Secret Life, first published by Grove Press in the 1960s, is one of the most famous pornographic works in literary history. What readers of this long-banned and troubling book of violent sexual fantasies failed to realize is that it is also the confession of history’s most fiendish killer. Written during the era of Jack the Ripper, it’s narrated by “Walter,” the pseudonym of textile millionaire Henry Spencer Ashbee. Walter was a voyeur and rapist obsessed with prostitutes, and his writing revealed his darkest sexual secrets. He died in 1901, long before his book would be widely read. Only now have researchers finally come to the conclusion that “Walter” and Jack the Ripper were, in fact, one and the same. Jack the Ripper’s Secret Confession puts all the pieces together, and its new theory will amaze and titillate scholars who for generations have pondered the true identity of history’s most brutal murderer.

Anne Jaccob is coming of age in late eighteenth-century London, the daughter of a wealthy merchant. When she is taken advantage of by her tutor — a great friend of her father’s — and is set up to marry a squeamish snob named Simeon Onions, she begins to realize just how powerless she is in Victorian society. Anne is watchful, cunning, and bored. Her saviour appears in the form of Fub, the butcher’s boy. Their romance is both a great spur and an excitement. Anne knows she is doomed to a loveless marriage to Onions and she is determined to escape with Fub and be his mistress. But will Fub ultimately be her salvation or damnation? And how far will she go to get what she wants? Dark and sweeping, The Butcher’s Hook is a richly textured debut featuring one of the most memorable characters in fiction.

In the last 40 years, actor, director and former effects artist William Butler has easily lived three lifetimes. From his early beginnings creating super-8 horror shorts and working the circus midway to a blissful existence as a producer-director living in the Hollywood hills, he's seen it all, gained it all and... lost it all. Tawdry Tales chronicles the jaw-dropping, sometimes hilarious, sometimes heartbreaking life of an industrious young artist who started out with an unflinching determination to work in film and who somehow became "Horror's Boy Next Door", appearing in dozens of movies alongside the genres most legendary villains, including Jason Vorheees from Friday the 13th, Leatherface from the Texas Chainsaw Massacre the George Romero's zombies from Night of the Living Dead. Butler chalks it all up to having a face you just want to hit with a butcher knife. Butler lovingly has transcribed 35 years-worth of journals he kept into one fascinating and heartfelt memoir that follows his story around the world as he worked with and in some cases lived with some of Hollywood's most beloved and "colorful" personalities including Viggo Mortensen, Leslie Jordan, Tom Sizemore and the legendary Prince. Butler's TELL-ALL contains: - Foreword written by Executive Producer of The Walking Dead Greg Nicotero. - Shocking, never before revealed antics from the set of Friday the13th VII, Leatherface: Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3, Tom Savini's Night of the Living Dead, Ghoulies 2 and many more. - The true story of how the sequels Return of the Living Dead 4 and 5 went so horribly wrong. - The raw ugly truth of what it's really like to be a director of small movies for big companies. - Unfiltered tales from his 35 years of production with Charles Band - Hilarious stories of Butler's working experience with Prince, Madonna, Donald Pleasence, Tom Sizemore, Viggo Mortensen, Klaus Kinski, Greg Nicotero, Stuart Gordon, Yvonne DeCarlo. - Scandalous and hilarious tales from his five years spent as actor Leslie Jordan's roommate. - Dozens of never before seen behind the scenes photos.
