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.

A living legend's last ride. It's 1976, and America is doomed. Trust between the government and the American public has crumbled, paranoia reigns, and the devil himself is about to unleash hell on Earth—just in time for the nation's bicentennial. American Vampire Skinner Sweet isn’t doing so hot himself. A decade after his last heroic efforts robbed him of immortality, he’s done fighting and determined to go out with a bang—in fact, he’s closer than ever to his death wish when his estranged protégée, Pearl Preston, wields a tempting secret to recruit him for one final mission: the weapon they need to retrieve in order to save the world is also the last hope of restoring Skinner’s powers. But with catastrophe looming and redemption on the line, Skinner, Pearl, and their old teammates will need to put the past behind them before they can change the course of history. Creators SCOTT SNYDER and RAFAEL ALBUQUERQUE reunite alongside FRANCESCO FRANCAVILLA, TULA LOTAY, and RICARDO LÓPEZ ORTIZ for American Vampire 1976, collecting all 12 issues of the concluding sequel to the Eisner Award-winning American Vampire.

Writer Scott Snyder (BATMAN, SWAMP THING) and artist Rafael Albuquerque bring together even more threads to the complex tapestry that is the world of AMERICAN VAMPIRE. When we last saw Pearl in the 1950s, she had lost her love Henry in an attack on the vampire hunting organization, V.M.S., by a coven of Hollywood vampires that nearly wiped the organization off the face of the planet. Devastated and alone, Pearl is determined to leave California and all its painful memories behind. When we meet Pearl again, it is in 1960s Kansas, an era fraught with fear of nuclear war, angry demonstrations, and vast social change. What has changed in the years since the V.M.S. attack and where is Skinner Sweet? Collects AMERICAN VAMPIRE CYCLE TWO #1-5.

Family in Children's and Young Adult Literature is a comprehensive study of the family in Anglophone children’s and Young Adult literature from the early nineteenth century to the present day. Written by intellectual leaders in the field from the UK, the Americas, Europe, and Australia, this collection of essays explores the significance of the family and of familial and quasi-familial relationships in texts by a wide range of authors, including the Grimms, Frances Hodgson Burnett, Rudyard Kipling, Enid Blyton, Judy Blume, Jaqueline Wilson, Malorie Blackman, Melvin Burgess, J.K. Rowling, Neil Gaiman, and others. Author-based and critical survey essays explore evolving depictions of LGBTQIA+ and BAME families; migrant and refugee narratives; the popular tropes of the orphan protagonist and the wicked stepmother; sibling and intergenerational familial relationships; fathers and fatherhood; the anthropomorphic animal and surrogate family; and the fractured family in paranormal and dystopian YA literature. The breadth of essays in Family in Children's and Young Adult Literature encourages readers to think beyond the outdated but culturally privileged ‘nuclear family’ and is a vital resource for students, academics, educators, and practitioners.

Vampires are arguably the most popular and most paradoxical of gothic monsters: life draining yet passionate, feared yet fascinating, dead yet immortal. Vampire content produces exquisitely suspenseful stories that, combined with motion picture filmmaking, reveal much about the cultures that enable vampire film production and the audiences they attract. This collection of essays is generously illustrated and ranges across sixteen cultures on five continents, including the films Let the Right One In, What We Do in the Shadows, Cronos, and We Are the Night, among many others. Distinctly different kinds of European vampires have originated in Ireland, Germany, Sweden, and Serbia. North American vampires are represented by films from Mexico, Canada, and the USA. Middle Eastern locations include Tangier, Morocco, and a fictional city in Iran. South Asia has produced Bollywood vampire films, and east Asian vampires are represented by films from Korea, China, and Japan. Some of the most recent vampire movies have come from Australia and New Zealand. These essays also look at vampire films through lenses of gender, post-colonialism, camp, and otherness as well as the evolution of the vampiric character in cinema worldwide, together constituting a mosaic of the cinematic undead.
