Book Description
Sometimes danger comes in a deceptive package. The vamps need to be afraid…because Sandra “Dee” Daniels is on the hunt. Ever since vamps killed her family, Dee has made it her mission to take out the blood suckers who stalk the night. Sure, she might be human and she might look small and delicate, but the best threat is the one that the vamps never see coming. By the time they see her, it’s far too late. She’s the woman he needs. Simon Chase has been after Dee for a very long time…not that she knows this secret. Not that she knows any of the secrets he’s keeping. The delectable Dee thinks that she’s in charge because she’s a bounty hunter for Night Watch, the paranormal bounty hunting agency in Baton Rouge. She needs to think again. Dee’s world is about to be turned upside down, and when the dust settles, he’ll be the only friend she has. Blood. Passion. Nights can sure be hell… A Born Master is closing in on Dee—and everyone knows that the immensely powerful Borns are the worst of the worst. Her ally in the fight against him? The mysterious Simon. But when Simon shows his own fangs, Dee knows that she’s been tricked. And, suddenly, Dee isn’t just hunting vamps. She’s falling for one. But what happens when death comes calling for Dee? She’s always feared becoming the thing she hates the most. Yet Simon isn’t just going to stand there and let her slip from his world. One way or another, he will keep her. Provided, of course, that he and Dee can stop the immortal killing machine who is hot on their trail. A vampire’s love isn’t just for now. It’s forever. SLAY MY NAME was first published by Kensington in July of 2010—back then, it was released under the title of I’LL BE SLAYING YOU. I am very happy to be bringing this “classic” paranormal romance to readers again.

A Short View of the Whole Scripture History
Threshold Phenomena
Author: Michael Naas
Publisher: Fordham Univ Press
ISBN: 1531507123
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 161
Book Description
Threshold Phenomena reexamines Jacques Derrida’s thinking of hospitality, from his well-known writings of the 1990s to his recently-published seminars on the same topic. The book follows Derrida’s rereading of several central figures and texts on hospitality (Sophocles’ Oedipus at Colonus, Kant’s Perpetual Peace, Levinas’s Totality and Infinity) and his attempt to rethink questions surrounding not only private but also public hospitality in the form of immigration law, the contemporary treatment of migrants or stateless peoples, and the establishment of cities of asylum. Naas develops many of the central themes of Derrida’s seminar—the relationship between hospitality and teletechnology (telephone, internet, cyberspace, etc.), the role of fatherlands and mother tongues in hospitality, questions of purity, immunity, and xenophobia, and the possibility of extending hospitality beyond the human—to animals, plants, gods, and clones. Reframing Derrida’s approach to ethics, Naas reconsiders the relationship between hospitality and deconstruction, concluding that hospitality is not merely a theme to be treated by deconstruction but one of the best ways of describing its work. Naas’s book turns around a figure that Derrida himself returns to several times throughout the seminar: the threshold—a figure of hospitality par excellence, but also, in his seminars, another name for what Derrida in the 1960s began calling différance. Threshold Phenomena concludes that Derrida’s seminar on hospitality is one of the best introductions we have to Derrida’s work in general and one of the surest signs of its continuing relevance, a seminar that is at once fascinating and engaging in its own right and necessary for analyzing today’s increasingly nationalistic and xenophobic political climate.
