Exactly 51 years ago to the day, Skinner Sweet pulled Pearl Jones from certain death and committed her to eternal life as an American Vampire.

Parting words and lasting actions untangle the tense history between the surviving members of the VMS-and Skinner Sweet will either reclaim his coveted immortality or sacrifice his life in the final battle to secure a better future for his companions!

It’s the beginning of the end. With their numbers cut and only hours left before the Earth cracks and humanity is conquered, the VMS has exhausted every smart defensive strategy. Their last hope is a marathon of increasingly desperate Hail Marys-culminating in a high-speed face-off with the Beast, freshly emerged from Hell in his terrifying final form. Before the score is settled, Travis taps into new powers to rally a surprising source of backup, Felicia takes control of the president’s nukes, Gus fights for freedom, and Skinner and Pearl rehearse an unthinkable farewell.

The South is often perceived as a haunted place in its region's literature, one that is strange, deviant, or "queer." The peculiar, often sexually charged literary worlds of contemporary writers like Fannie Flagg, Monique Truong, and Randall Kenan speak to this connection between queerness and the South. Heidi Siegrist explores the boundaries of negotiating place and sexuality by using the concept of Southernness—a purposefully fluid idea of the South that extends beyond simple geography, eschewing familiar ideas of the Southern canon. When the connection between queerness and Southerness becomes apparent, Siegrist shows a Southern-branded queer deviance can not only change the way we think about literature but can also change Southern queer people's lived experiences. Siegrist gathers a bevy of undertheorized writers, from Kenan and Truong to Dorothy Allison and even George R. R. Martin, showing that there are many "queer Souths." Siegrist offers these multiverses as a way to appreciate a place that is often unfriendly, even deadly, to queer people. But as Siegrist argues, none of these Souths, from the terrestrial to the imaginary, would be what they are without the influence and power of queer literature.

Although television critics have often differed with the public with respect to the artistic and cultural merits of television programming, over the last half-century television has indubitably influenced popular culture and vice versa. No matter what reasons are cited--the characters, the actors, the plots, the music--television shows that were beloved by audiences in their time remain fondly remembered. This study covers the classic period of popular television shows from the 1960s through the 1990s, focusing on how regular viewers interacted with television shows on a personal level. Bridging popular and scholarly approaches, this book discovers what America actually watched and why through documents, footage, visits to filming locations, newspapers, and magazine articles from the shows' eras. The book features extensive notes and bibliography.

DAS LETZTE GEFECHT UM DIE SEELE AMERIKAS 1976 scheinen die USA innerlich zu zerbrechen. Das Vertrauen der Öffentlichkeit in die Regierung schwindet immer mehr, im Land machen sich Misstrauen und Paranoia breit. Skinner Sweet, einst der erste amerikanische Vampir, hat seine Unsterblichkeit verloren und damit nicht nur seine Kräfte, sondern auch seine Bestimmung. Jetzt arbeitet er als waghalsiger Motorrad-Stuntfahrer, um sich von der Welt mit einem spektakulären Knall zu verabschieden. Da aber sucht ihn seine ehemalige Feindin Pearl Jones auf, die von Skinner einst zur Vampirin gemacht wurde, und sie hat eine letzte, verzweifelte Mission für ihn: Die Grauen Händler, die der Finsternis dienen, wollen die Hölle auf Erden entfesseln, und das ausgerechnet zur Zweihundertjahrfeier der USA. Nur Skinner und Pearl scheinen sie noch aufhalten zu können ... Ein Horror-Kracher von den Superstars Scott Snyder (BATMAN) und Rafael Albuquerque (ALL-STAR BATMAN), der zugleich das große Finale ihrer preisgekrönten Saga darstellt, die sie einst mit Stephen King begonnen haben.
