For fans of Mexican Gothic, a harrowing, sultry horror novel about the forgotten women in Dracula and Jane Eyre as they combat the toxic men intent on destroying their lives. Los Angeles, 1967. Lucy Westenra and Bertha Mason – the forgotten women in Dracula and Jane Eyre – have been existing as undead immortals for centuries, unable to die and still tormented by the monsters that made them. Lucy has long fought against Dracula's intoxicating thrall, refusing his charismatic darkness and her ensuing appetite for blood. Bertha Mason, the madwoman in the attic, is still pursued from afar by Mr Rochester, who wants to add her to his collection of devoted female followers. Then Dracula and Rochester make a shocking return in San Francisco. To finally write their own story, Lucy and Bertha must boldly reclaim their stories from the men who tried to erase them in this harrowing gothic tale of love, betrayal and coercion.

In this pathbreaking study of three of the most familiar texts in the Chinese tradition--all concerning stones endowed with magical properties--Jing Wang develops a monumental reconstruction of ancient Chinese stone lore. Wang's thorough and systematic comparison of these classic works illuminates the various tellings of the stone story and provides new insight into major topics in traditional Chinese literature. Bringing together Chinese myth, religion, folklore, art, and literature, this book is the first in any language to amass the sources of stone myth and stone lore in Chinese culture. Uniting classical Chinese studies with contemporary Western theoretical concerns, Wang examines these stone narratives by analyzing intertextuality within Chinese traditions. She offers revelatory interpretations to long-standing critical issues, such as the paradoxical character of the monkey in The Journey to the West, the circularity of narrative logic in The Dream of the Red Chamber, and the structural necessity of the stone tablet in Water Margin. By both challenging and incorporating traditional sinological scholarship, Wang's The Story of Stone reveals the ideological ramifications of these three literary works on Chinese cultural history and makes the past relevant to contemporary intellectual discourse. Specialists in Chinese literature and culture, comparative literature, literary theory, and religious studies will find much of interest in this outstanding work, which is sure to become a standard reference on the subject.

By readers' requests comes Reluctant Gods IV - Aysel - The Prequel. As in the Star Wars movie experience, the Reluctant Gods series can be experienced in any order. This fourth book of the series is the prequel to Reluctant Gods I and takes place decades before Sevilen is ever born. Readers wanted to know how Aysel, Sevilen's great grandmother and mentor, became who she was in books one, two, and three. What shaped Aysel to become the highly evolved, very unique, sensual, powerful, and sometimes whacky creature in all the other books in the series? Follow Aysel from the 1920s, when she is introduced to the world of immortal gods on this earth, to when she brings Sevilen into her family of gods and passes on her Designated One status along with her fortunes. Learn with her about the effect of changing others' life paths with magic, and how to avoid the deadly results by using the Akashic records. Meet Varick Engel, the man who raised her, and learn why he raised her as he did; sheltered and away from society. See how Tristan, who is Satan, and his consort Lillith, the archangels Michael, Raphael, Gabriel, and Auriel, the diligent and ever caring family assistant Alexander, and Aysel's carefree girlfriend Emily become Aysel's best friends and ultimately, her family. See why Aysel, as Sevilen's great grandmother, can guiltlessly make passes at Sevilen throughout the series, as if she really were just another woman in her twenties, and not his one hundred and six year old great grandmother. Learn what family really means for immortal gods, archangels, devils, and demons. Experience the influence witches, archangels, devils, and demons had on Aysel in becoming the powerful goddess she became, and enabling her to save Sevilen so he may become an immortal god as well. Join them all in this humorous, lighthearted, metaphysical fantasy fiction with time travel, telekinesis, ESP, magic, and use of the Akashic records, by immortal gods and goddesses, archangels, devils and demons. Beings that need just think a thought to create reality; if they can bring themselves to believe, by not being so reluctant to become gods. Can it really happen if you believe? Would you be reluctant? BEWARE! Not for those with closed minds, or narrow viewpoints of life.
