ABOUT THE BOOK It is the season of the witch in Bon Temps. The characters of True Blood have dealt with anti-vampire fanatics, a sexed-crazed maenad, werewolves, and have even seen a bit of faerie power. What is left on our horror-genre list of supernatural beings? Witches. Next up, Godzilla? Get the play-by-play of this eventful season. MEET THE AUTHOR Nicki Bixler is an experienced writer and a member of the Hyperink Team, which works hard to bring you high-quality, engaging, fun content. Happy reading! EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK One running theme seen in various episodes of Season 4 is the process of trying to save face in the media. Nan Flanagan, in charge of PR for the AVL, must fix the mess that vampire Russell Edgington caused when he obliterated a human on live television. Nan and Bill Compton constantly say Russell's name when addressing the media so that the public will associate the incident with him only and believe it to be an isolated event. Additionally, the AVL's purpose is to gain equal rights for vampires, and they know that they have to be careful in the media during a time when many in the public are still anti-vampire. Lastly, civil rights is a theme that was introduced at the inception of True Blood and has been streaming through ever since. When the vampires revealed themselves during The Great Awakening it is clear the parallel between their cause and gay rights is stressed when the show uses the phrase "out of the coffin." The plight of the American Vampire League, looking for a constitutional amendment supporting the rights of vampires, also suggests a metaphor for any minority group who has fought for equal rights. Comically the parallel is shown in Season 2 when the Fellowship of the Sun, a conservative religious group takes direct aim at vampires.

A chilling psychological read, for fans of serial killer thrillers that asks the question: What if you found out the figure that haunted your nightmares as a child was real? He'll slice your flesh. Your bones he'll keep. The Bone Keeper's coming. And he'll make you weep. Twenty years ago, four teenagers went exploring in the local woods, trying to find the supposed home of the Bone Keeper. According to lore, victims are lured into his lair, never to be seen again. Only three returned. Now, a woman is found wandering the streets, horrifically injured, claiming to have fled the evil urban myth. Detective Louise Henderson must convince skeptical colleagues that this urban myth might be flesh and blood. And then a body turns up. For fans of C.J. Tudor and Riley Sager, The Bone Keeper is a haunting suspense novel of old legends, past demons, and all the things that go bump in the night. "A well-crafted, deliciously unsettling blend of police procedural and horror folklore that shares appeal with John Connolly's and Lauren Beukes' thrillers."—Booklist "Like the scariest urban legend from your childhood all grown up, The Bone Keeper is spine-tingling, hair-raising entertainment."—Abby Endler, Crime by the Book

In this study, which is first of all a folk-lore study, we pursue principally an anthropo-psychological method of interpreting the Celtic belief in fairies, though we do not hesitate now and then to call in the aid of philology; and we make good use of the evidence offered by mythologies, religions, metaphysics, and physical sciences.

The Decameron

In the time of a devastating pandemic, seven women and three men withdraw to a country estate outside Florence to give themselves a diversion from the death around them. Once there, they decide to spend some time each day telling stories, each of the ten to tell one story each day. They do this for ten days, with a few other days of rest in between, resulting in the 100 stories of the Decameron. The Decameron was written after the Black Plague spread through Italy in 1348. Most of the tales did not originate with Boccaccio; some of them were centuries old already in his time, but Boccaccio imbued them all with his distinctive style. The stories run the gamut from tragedy to comedy, from lewd to inspiring, and sometimes all of those at once. They also provide a detailed picture of daily life in fourteenth-century Italy.
