Book Description
Gary Somers was on top of the world. The arrogant host of an “in-your-face” TV talk show, Gary has all the money, success and women he can want – with only more of the same ahead. But the sleaze TV host is about to descend from the top of the world into his own special hell – a hell designed for him by a woman whose lust and obsession is beyond anything he’s ever imagined. Slasher is a taut, psychological mystery set in contemporary New York. In the outrageous world of shock TV, no one is more shocking than Gary Somers. No one operates closer to the line – or crosses it more often – than Gary, and no one is more likely to unleash the hidden obsessions of a woman known only as Samantha. Her gradual intrusion into his life – at first trivial, later disturbing and finally deadly – will take Gary on a roller coaster ride of sexual obsession and deranged violence unlike any story he’s ever put before the screen. The search for Samantha will reach back twenty years to another brutal crime buried in a small town’s past, and reach forward to a cold night in a Manhattan loft building where Gary and Samantha confront each other in a climax of madness and fear. By the time this relentless, suspense thriller is finished, readers will have been taken on a roller coaster of their own.

Book Description
In this comprehensive portrait of horror's definitive director, Tony Williams ties George A. Romero's films to the development of literary naturalism and American culture, expanding the artist's creative footprint beyond his mastery of the "splatter movie" genre. Williams locates Romero's influences in the work of Emile Zola, the Entertainment Comics of the 1950s, and the novels of Stephen King, revealing the interdisciplinary depth of his seminal films Night of the Living Dead (1968), Creepshow (1982), Monkey Shines (1988), and The Dark Half (1992). For this second edition, Williams reads Romero's Bruiser (2000) against his more recent Land of the Dead (2005) and takes a fresh look at Diary of the Dead (2007) and Survival of the Dead (2009), two overlooked films that feature Romero's greatest achievements yet.

Book Description
Homes are powerfully defined by smells, sounds, textures and objects, all of which reflect how people live their everyday lives. From spray-painting the toilet wall to relaxing in the bath, the products we use speak volumes about who we are, how we relate to others and who we want to be. Based on extensive fieldwork, this fascinating book explores the intimate, material and sensory spaces of the home to uncover how gender roles are performed within our personal, private worlds. Pink shows how everyday items ranging from perfumes to soap powder imprint and reinforce daily experiences and a sense of identity. How has the home been affected by the fact that more and more women now go to work and increasingly more men spend time engaged in domestic tasks? How do more traditional family-centred homes compare with those belonging to diverse family forms and people living alone? What does a study of domestic gender tell us about how change occurs? Answering these questions and many more, Pink combines the most recent approaches in gender studies and material culture to show how everyday activities can be deeply revealing of gender roles in the 21st century.
