My name is Nawaal Ahmed. I was born in Somalia in 1877. As a Muslim girl, my destiny seemed set in stone. When I was 19, on the eve of my wedding day, the Vampire Saleh seduced and abducted me. He turned me into one of the undead. After killing him, I wandered the world for over a century, and eventually made my way to Ottawa, Ontario. Killing is both fun and addictive, other vampires fear the Holy Warriors who hunt us but I don't. I am eternal. Yet my loneliness is constant. Until I meet Bethlehem, a tall, gorgeous college sportswoman. If I breathed, she'd take my breath away. I'm not used to feelings such as these. With my enemies closing in and my sweetheart on the line, what shall I do ?

In ancient times, the legendary Somali warrior known as Queen Arawelo led an uprising against the Old Order, deposed her tyrannical and short-tempered husband King Abdi and became sole ruler of Somalia. In ancient Africa, such a bold move was unprecedented. Queen Arawelo challenged tribal law, outlawed rape, punished criminals and battled the power of tyrants. Queen Arawelo also created the Dhagig Askari, the first all-female army on the continent of Africa. In those days, just like today, the idea of women's rule disturbed and frightened many men. Some of the Somali princes built an army to remove Queen Arawelo, forcing her to defend her fledgling domain. Watching all this from afar is the legendary Vampire Samatar, an ancient being who typically avoids entanglements with mortals. The Vampire Samatar has fallen in love with Queen Arawelo and offers her Immortality. The defiant African warrior-queen must choose between her own life and the soul of a beleaguered, stoic African nation. Whatever Queen Arawelo decides, the world will never be the same. These are her stories.

During the colonial period, Africans told each other terrifying rumors that Africans who worked for white colonists captured unwary residents and took their blood. In colonial Tanganyika, for example, Africans were said to be captured by these agents of colonialism and hung upside down, their throats cut so their blood drained into huge buckets. In Kampala, the police were said to abduct Africans and keep them in pits, where their blood was sucked. Luise White presents and interprets vampire stories from East and Central Africa as a way of understanding the world as the storytellers did. Using gossip and rumor as historical sources in their own right, she assesses the place of such evidence, oral and written, in historical reconstruction. White conducted more than 130 interviews for this book and did research in Kenya, Uganda, and Zambia. In addition to presenting powerful, vivid stories that Africans told to describe colonial power, the book presents an original epistemological inquiry into the nature of historical truth and memory, and into their relationship to the writing of history.

Pandora's a carefree party girl who just happens to be a vampire. With her best friend Sharon Mordecai, a hybrid vampire; her boyfriend Cody Fenris, a werewolf; and Cody's sister Lupe, who transforms into a wolf, they run Nightstalkers Inc., a private detective agency. Pandora and Sharon also belong to Nosferatu, Inc., a worldwide corporation set up to provide relocation services for vampires, who cannot remain in one place indefinitely, lest the "breathers" question why they never age. Other Nosferatu members include 10-year-old Artemus, the boy vampire; ex-KGB operative Valentina Petrovna; the maladroit, claustrophobic vampire Claude Gauthier; the vagrant "trampire" Seamus Callaghan; and the corporation's international board of directors: Lady Chiyoko in Japan, Callum in Australia, Isra in Dubai, Amadi in Africa, Magda in Hungary, and its CEO, the mysterious human known only as Remick. First introduced in the Halos & Horns fantasy saga, these vampires and lycanthropes have their own stories to tell. These tales in Flashbacks shed light on their dark pasts while sowing the seeds for the next two books in the Fangs & Fur trilogy. They can be enjoyed as individual vampire and werewolf stories, or read by Halos & Horns fans to learn more about the characters populating that saga, or viewed as the prologue to the story about to unfold in the Fangs & Fur trilogy.

The recent histories of Italy and Somalia are closely linked. Italy colonized Somalia from the end of the 19th century to 1941, and held the territory by UN mandate from 1950 to 1960. Italy is also among the destination countries of the Somali diaspora, which increased in 1991 after civil war. Nonetheless, this colonial and postcolonial cultural encounter has often been neglected. Critically evaluating Gilles Deleuze and F?x Guattari?s concept of ?minor literature?, as well as drawing on postcolonial literary studies, The Somali Within analyses the processes of linguistic and cultural translation and self-translation, the political engagement with race, gender, class and religious discrimination, and the complex strategies of belonging and unbelonging at work in the literary works in Italian by authors of Somali origins. Brioni proposes that the ?minor? Somali Italian connection might offer a major insight into the transnational dimension of contemporary ?Italian? literature and ?Somali? culture.
