A dance to the death. A girl who's just as monstrous as H.H. Holmes. A hallway that's constantly changing-and hungry. All of these stories exist in the same place-within the frame of a particular house that isn't bound by the laws of time and space.Following in the footsteps of dark/horror-filled YA anthologies like His Hideous Heart and Slasher Girls and Monster Boys, and Netflix's ground-breaking adaptation of The Haunting of Hill House, this YA speculative fiction anthology explores how the permanence of a home can become a space of transition and change for both the inhabitants and the creatures who haunt them.Each story in the anthology will focus on a different room in the house and feature unique takes on monsters from a wide array of cultural traditions. Whether it's a demonic Trickster, a water-loving Rusalka, or a horrifying, baby-imitating Tiyanak, there's bound to be something sinister lurking in the shadows.

Violet ist Prophetin und Lügnerin, die den königlichen Hof mit ihren raffiniert formulierten – und nicht immer zutreffenden – Weissagungen beeinflusst. Ehrlichkeit ist für Verlierer, wie den gar nicht so märchenhaften Prinzen Cyrus, der Violet ihres offiziellen Postens berauben will, sobald er am Ende des Sommers den Thron besteigt – außer Violet unternimmt etwas dagegen. Doch als der König sie bittet, für einen bevorstehenden Ball Prophezeiungen bezüglich Cyrus' Liebesleben zu fälschen, erweckt Violet einen gefürchteten Fluch zum Leben, der das Königreich entweder verdammen oder erlösen wird – je nachdem, für welche Braut sich der Prinz entscheidet. Auch Violet steht vor einer Wahl: entweder die Gelegenheit nutzen, ihr Schicksal in die eigene Hand zu nehmen, egal was es kostet, oder der wachsenden Anziehung zwischen ihr und Cyrus nachgeben. Violets scharfer Verstand mag sie bisher am intriganten Hof geschützt haben, doch auch er kann ihr Schicksal nicht ändern. Und während die Grenze zwischen Hass und Liebe bei Cyrus und ihr immer weiter verschwimmt, muss Violet ein teuflisches Netz der Täuschung entwirren, um sich selbst und das Königreich zu retten – oder für immer zu verdammen.

Online Incivility and Public Debate ; Nasty Talk

This book investigates what influence online incivility-through user-generated comments on news websites-has on public debate. Built on the premise that public discussions about important topics are vital to a healthy democracy, the book analyzes 3,508 online comments in order to understand what factors in comments make them more susceptible to incivility, defined as nasty remarks rife with profanity. It also examines comments for attributes of deliberation, which are discussions across difference supported by evidence and rational arguments. Using an experiment, the book shows that uncivil comments jumpstart a chain reaction, leading first to negative emotion and then to greater intention to get politically involved. Overall, Online Incivility and Public Debate: Nasty Talk argues that while incivility mars online debate, it may also spark interest in important topics and allow for positive "e;deliberative moments"e; of quality discussion.

This book explores the way today's interconnected and digitized world--marked by social media, over-sharing, and blurred lines between public and private spheres--shapes the nature and fallout of scandal in a frenzied media environment. Today's digitized world has erased the former distinction between the public and private self in the social sphere. Scandal in a Digital Age marries scholarly research on scandal with journalistic critique to explore how our Internet culture driven by (over)sharing and viral, visual content impacts the occurrence of scandal and its rapid spread online through retweets and reposts. No longer are examples of scandalous behavior "e;merely"e; reported in the news. Today, news consumers can see the visual evidence of salacious behavior whether through an illicit tweet or video with a simple click. And we can't help but click.
