![]() Who will win Draculaura and Frankie or Moanica (with the help of her Zomboyz)? ![]() It's a showdown for the title of presidency.

So with her father's help, they turn their mansion into a school & thus begins Monster High. (Didn't think of this up to now but haven't I heard this story before? Seems to me like a man in a wheelchair once had the same dream years prior). Together they set out to recruit other monsters and form a school for Monsters. It's an electrifying monster by the name of Frankie Stein. ![]() Draculaura after YEARS (more like decades of solitude) gets a surprise visitor at her castle.

The diaries were included on UNESCO’s Memory of the World Register in 2011.

Sally Wainwright, creator of Gentleman Jackįemale Fortune is the book which inspired Sally Wainwright to write Gentleman Jack, now a major drama series for the BBC and HBO. ‘A unique and thrilling insight into the brilliant mind of Anne Lister’ ![]() ![]() ![]() It's brutal, and Toma doesn't shy away from that.īut it also is a good story, one where very few people are what they seem to be, the system of oppression is looking like it might be ripe for being shredded, and change clearly lurks just around the bend. Rangetsu's brother dies in service to the Fourth Prince, and she flees the brothel her mother takes her to, cuts her hair, and learns to fight in order to hunt down his killer. Ajin are absolutely second class citizens, with families only allowed one child (excluding multiple births), men and boys conscripted into either the army or as body guards known as Beast-Servants, and women are forced into sex work when they're young and switched over to menial labor when they age out of that. ![]() And if you thought things were bad for the Ajin in Dawn of the Arcana, prepare yourself for them to be even worse here in a different nation. Set in the same world as Dawn of the Arcana the story follows Rangetsu, an Ajin (human with animal features, like ears and tails, and superior senses and healing abilities) as she seeks revenge against the human(s) who killed her twin brother years ago. It's easy to look at Rei Toma's art and forget just how dark her stories can get. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Passing via Nietzsche’s interpretation of Zarathustra for a post-religious age, the Cathars of 13th-century France, the Bulgars of 9th-century Balkans, and the prophet Mani’s revision of Zarathustra’s message in the later Persian empire, Paul Kriwaczek then explores the religion of Mithras – before going back past Alexander the Great’s destruction of the Persian Empire, and the era of the great Persian kings Cyrus and Darius in the 6th century BC, to the beginning of the first pre-Christian millennium.

Gary Paulsen sailed alone to Fiji (true). Gary Paulsen ran the Iditarod, all 938 frigid miles of it, with his dog team (true). Gary Paulsen dug up a snapping turtle egg and ate it raw, just to know the taste (true). The ballad of his life, outlined on countless About the Author pages, was a tale as grand as any of his novels. Part of the allure, admittedly, was always Paulsen himself. Since at least the ’80s, Gary Paulsen books have been like scripture for a certain kind of child. I must have read Hatchet a hundred times as a kid - an experience which, I can now admit, hardly made me unique. Several of those books - Hatchet, Dogsong, The Winter Room - have achieved an iconic status among young people that few books ever do. ![]() He was among the most prolific children’s authors in American history, publishing about 200 books over more than half a century (his final novel, already in production at the time of his death, will be released next year). Like Robert Stone or Richard Brautigan, Paulsen was born into poverty, reared in the wartime culture of the late Depression, and eventually found his calling as a novelist writing in the vernacular of a wounded and humbled America. Gary Paulsen, who died last week at the age of 82, probably could have been a literary titan of a different kind, if he’d wanted to go that route. ![]() |
