Book Description
Carnal Curses, Disfigured Dreams presents an illustrated, annotated and indexed filmography of all pre-war and immediately post-war Japanese films in the genres of horror, fantasy, science fiction, and weird mystery, and is the first English-language book to do so. Due to Japan's rich tradition of ghost stories, heroic legends and folkloric hierarchy of demonic yokai, an unusually large percentage of films made in the country's early years of film production were based on phantastic myths and supernaturally-driven narratives. By 1915, a new genre of ninjutsu ("secret combat techniques") films emerged, with many narratives involving shape-shifting and magic, giving rise to Japanese cinema's first wave of special-effects technicians. In the 1930s, low-budget exploitation companies such as Kyokuto and Zensho produced dozens of pulp horror movies, including a startling hybrid genre from Kyokuto which mixed samurai and robots. Zombies, vampires, mechanical men, mad scientists, monsters, killer apes, living statues, ghosts, demons - all the iconic figures of bizarre cinema can be found in Japan's early film output, filtered through that country's unique lens of culture and myth. Carnal Curses, Disfigured Dreams lists over 500 films in a detailed, chronological filmography, includes over 30 woodblock print illustrations, reproduces 65 extremely rare film production photographs and posters - most of which have never been published before, even in Japan - and concludes with an index of all films referenced in the text. Japanese Film Perspectives is a new series of historical studies based on new and original research, and anchored around never-before-seen photographic images.

When the ordinary becomes extraordinary, the world seems to turn upside down, man in distress needs help, the consolation which can only come from the comforter. In this book, the author expounds the methodology of wrestle against these forces.

Book Description
This book is the first publication of a very early set of Christian monastic rules from Roman Egypt, accompanied by four preliminary chapters discussing their historical and social context and their character as rules. These rules were found quoted in the writings of the great Egyptian monastic leader Shenoute. Designed for a federation of monks and nuns who banded together about 360 CE—forming the so-called "White Monastery Federation"—the rules date back to the fourth and fifth centuries. New historical evidence is presented for the founding of the Federation. Providing almost the earliest evidence for Christian communal (cenobitic) monasticism, the rules depict many intimate aspects of ascetic practice. Details of monastic daily life are mentioned in passing in the rules, and the author uses these details to describe their picture of monastic life under five general topics: the monastery as a physical plant, the human makeup of the community, ascetic observances, the hierarchy of authority, and the daily liturgy. The book includes a clear English translation of the rules accompanied by the original Coptic text, amounting to five hundred and ninety-five entries.
