Meet Amber Benson's "authentically original creation" (Locus)... My name is Calliope Reaper-Jones (Callie to my friends). I’m Death’s Daughter and—as of very recently—the (reluctant) head of my father’s company, Death, Inc. I was gradually learning how to be a businesswoman. Had the power suits and shoes down, though the day to day was slow going. Then I was blindsided by Enemies Unknown and sent off to I-don’t-know-where. Not a good thing. Now not only must my friends and family be frantic, but without a CEO, Death, Inc., can’t function. With the newly deceased left free to roam the Earth, it’s the zombie apocalypse come true. I’ve got to get back—for my sake and the sake of, oh, all humanity…

In the late fourth century, the world of Christianity was torn apart by debate over the teachings of the third-century theologian Origen and his positions on the incorporeality of God. In the year 400, Archbishop Theophilus of Alexandria convened a council declaring Origen's later followers as heretics. Shortly thereafter, Theophilus banished the so-called Tall Brothers, four Origenist monks who led monastic communities in the western Egyptian desert, along with hundreds of their brethren. In some accounts, Theophilus leads a violent group of drunken youths and enslaved Ethiopians in sacking and desecrating the monastery; in others, he justly exercises his episcopal duties. In some versions, Theophilus' violent actions effectively bring the Golden Age of desert monasticism to an end; in others, he has shown proper respect for the desert fathers, whose life of asceticism is subsequently destroyed by bands of barbarian marauders. For some, the desert came to be inextricably connected to violence and trauma, while for others, it became a site of nostalgic recollection. Which of these narratives subsequent generations believed depended in good part on the sources they were reading. In Death of the Desert, Christine Luckritz Marquis offers a fresh examination of this critical juncture in Christian history and brings into dialogue narrative strands that have largely been separated in the scholarly tradition. She takes the violence perpetrated by Theophilus as a turning point for desert monasticism and considers how monks became involved in acts of violence and how that violence came back to haunt them. More broadly, her careful attention to the dynamic relations between memory practices, the rhetorical constructions of place, racialized discourse, and language and deeds of violence speak to us in our own time.

Seminar paper from the year 2021 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1.7, University of Heidelberg, course: Introduction to Crime Fiction, language: English, abstract: The Golden Age is known as the time between the two world wars. During this time, many crime fiction novels were written by several authors. The Mysterious Affair at Styles 1920 by Agatha Christie is often seen as the first novel of the Golden Age crime fiction and In the Teeth of the Evidence 1939 by Dorothy L. Sayers as the last one. The novels often represent social problems, which sounds controversial to the ‘golden’ notion. The crime fiction novels published in the Golden Age period have many common features which will be discussed in the following pages. The Golden Age features will be compared to Agatha Christie’s novel Death on the Nile (1937). There is a lot of research about crime novels during that period but only a few compare the features of the Golden Age to Death on the Nile, which is why I chose this novel for further analysis. Being a huge fan of crime fiction, I wanted to take a closer look at Agatha Christie’s writing style and see how it fits in the Golden Age period. One feature she followed is that murder becomes the main feature of the stories published in the Golden Age. By the 1920s words like ‘murder’ or ‘death’ began to be seen in the title (cf. Knight 2010: 86). Especially Agatha Christie’s book titles let the readers know what the book will be about before reading the summary on the cover (e.g. Death on the Nile, Death in the Clouds, Mrs. McGinty's Dead, Murder on the Orient Express), along with authors like Dorothy L. Sayers with Murder Must Advertise, Margery Allingham with Death of a Ghost and Ngaio Marsh with Death on Ecstasy. These four British authors - Agatha Christie, Dorothy L. Sayers, Margery Allingham, and Ngaio Marsh - were known as “The Big Four” or “The British Quartet”, but only Agatha Christie achieved the honour of being called the “Queen of Crime” (cf. Keitel 2008).
