Dance-Punk

Dance-Punk

By: Larissa Wodtke

Beginning in the late 1970s as an offshoot of disco and punk, dance-punk is difficult to define. Also sometimes referred to as disco-punk and funk-punk, it skirts, overlaps, and blurs into other genres including post-punk, post-disco, new wave, mutant disco, and synthpop. This book explores the historical and cultural conditions of the genre as it appeared in the late 1970s and early 1980s and then again in the early 2000s, and illuminates what is at stake in delineating dance-punk as a genre. Looking at bands such as Gang of Four, ESG, Public Image Ltd., LCD Soundsystem, The Rapture, and Le Tigre, this book examines the tensions between and blurring of the rhetoric and emotion in dance music and the cynical and ironic intellectualizing associated with post-punk.

The Ghost Hunter and Her Guy

By: Larissa Vine

FROM POPULAR ROMANCE AUTHOR LARISSA VINE Book four in the Women on Top series A love so strong, it's supernatural. When medium Jolene Gray is offered a lucrative contract as a psychic on a television show, she jumps at the chance. The money will pay for her spiritualist meetings that help connect people with their departed loved ones...and she'll get to work with smoking-hot TV director Red MacFarlene. Jolene's life is woefully lacking in romance. It's hard to have a boyfriend with her spirit guide, Iris, always in her head. This is Red McFarlene's golden ticket, an opportunity to direct an episode of the phenomenally popular TV series Canada's Most Haunted. By doing this, Red hopes to launch a new career directing movies like his sickeningly perfect brother. Bonus—the show's ghost hunter is the gorgeous and gifted Jolene. As filming starts on a famously haunted farm, a place steeped in tragedy with a history of vengeful ghosts, Jolene senses that the spirits want something, but her guide is blocking them from her, and she's also sidetracked by her steamy romance with Red. The ghost activity increases, though, and soon it's not just the TV show that's at stake. To face the specters and protect Red from dangerous paranormal forces, Jolene must ignore the voice in her head, and listen to her heart...before it's too late.

1001 Dark Nights: Bundle Forty-Three

By: Larissa Ione,Kylie Scott,Kristen Proby,Rebecca Zanetti

From New York Times bestselling authors Larissa Ione, Kylie Scott, Kristen Proby, and Rebecca Zanetti… Four Dark Tales. Four Sensual Stories. Four Page Turners. Bond of Passion by Larissa Ione Thanks to an unexpected and fortuitous disaster, Tavin’s contract with the underworld’s Assassin Guild was broken decades early. But instead of freedom, he’s suffocated by guilt and regret. Nothing can diminish the memory of assassinating the female he loved…not even the knowledge that he’d done it to spare her an even worse fate. Deja remembers all of her dozens of former lives, and she knows that she only found love in one of them…until her lover murdered her. As a soul locked inside the nightmarish boundaries of demon hell, she stewed in hatred until a single, fateful event gave her one more shot at life. And at revenge. Just What I Needed by Kylie Scott Nanny and housekeeper Jude has been going through a dry patch. Getting ready to dip her toes back into the dating pool is a little nerve racking. And the offers of assistance from her boss, David Ferris, and his band are not helping. Right up until music producer Dean Jennings arrives to work on the band's latest album. But Dean is more than a little wary of dating anyone with anything to do with the Stage Dive crew after losing Lena to lead singer Jimmy Ferris all those years ago. Can Jude a) Convince the crew to stay out of her business and b) Woo the man of her dreams? The Scramble by Kristen Proby There are two things you need to know about me. 1: I’m never late. And 2: I hate Christmas. My entire family is already enjoying their holiday vacation in Iceland, but thanks to my busy job and having to meet them there, I’m late. Now I’m forty thousand feet in the air, trying to get to Iceland before Christmas morning, all while also attempting to get some work done. If only the hot guy next to me would leave me be. Dylan says I should put the work away until after my holiday and relax a bit. And while his suggestion of spending some time together on the north Atlantic island seems preposterous, I can’t help but feel intrigued when he promises to show me how to enjoy the Yuletide season properly. A Vampire’s Kiss by Rebecca Zanetti Unlike several of his brothers, Athan Maxwell accepted the curse inherent in his DNA and solved the problem a century ago by mating his one true mate and saving her life at the same time. Now they only meet up four times a year to exchange blood and keep themselves healthy because that was the deal. Yet after a hundred years, his mate has only become more beguiling and intriguing, and when he discovers a new threat on her tail, his promise of sitting back and leaving her alone goes right out of the window. **Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you'll enjoy each one as much as we do.**

Kosovo

By: Verena Knaus,Gail Warrander,Larissa Olenicoff , Bridget Nurre Jennions

This new fully updated 3rd edition of Bradt's Kosovo is the only full-length English guidebook to this land rich in cultural heritage, generous hospitality and stunning scenery which is celebrating its 10th anniversary of unilateral independence from Serbia. Updated by two resident tourism experts, this new edition is an ideal companion for all visitors, offering maps, contacts and detailed information not easily accessible online, insider knowledge of one of Europe's last unspoiled destinations, and comprehensive detail on sites, attractions and practical information. What was once a hub for adventurous backpackers and international organisations has become an outdoor adventure destination in its own right with a compelling buzz thanks in part to a vibrant and dynamic young population: the average age here is 26. Mega-hiking trails like the Via Dinarica and Peaks of the Balkans have brought attention to the country's unmatched scenery and multitude of 2,500+ metre peaks. New via ferratas - climbing routes - in the country's north and west appeal to the adventurous set, while newly restored archaeological sites offer a haven for history buffs as well. This third edition contains a wealth of new tour operators and fully updated maps to key cities and regions that make it easier than ever to explore Europe's youngest country. Ringed by high mountains and recovering from a turbulent past, Kosovo is enjoying a tourism renaissance. Following this guide, visitors can ski over pristine snowfields and hike among saw-toothed mountains, explore the ebb and flow of Islam and of Orthodox Christianity at beautiful shrines such as Gracanica Monastery or Prizren's Sinan Pasha Mosque, sample raki at one of the vineyards, visit a traditional stone kulla, and be initiated into Prishtina's coffee-drinking culture. Bradt's Kosovo caters for all travellers. With detailed descriptions of the country's lively cafés and wide-ranging restaurants, as well as the thriving outdoor adventure scene, plus accommodation to suit all budgets, this new edition is the ideal companion for tourists, NGOs and long-term visitors.

When Fox is a Thousand

By: Larissa Lai

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

When Fox is a Thousand

By: Larissa Lai

When Fox is a Thousand is a lyrical, magical novel, rich with poetry and folklore and elements of the fairytale. Larissa Lai interweaves three narrative voices and their attendant cultures: an elusive fox growing toward wisdom and her 1000 birthday, the ninth-century Taoist poet/nun Yu Hsuan-Chi (a real person executed in China for murder), and the oddly named Artemis, a young Asian-American woman living in contemporary Vancouver. With beautiful and enchanting prose, and a sure narrative hand, Lai combines Chinese mythology, the sexual politics of medieval China, and modern-day Vancouver to masterfully revise the myth of the Fox (a figure who can inhibit women’s bodies in order to cause mischief). Her potent imagination and considerable verbal skill result in a tale that continues to haunt long after the story is told. First published to wide acclaim in 1995 and out of print since 2001, this new edition of When Fox is a Thousand, published by Arsenal Pulp Press for the first time, features a new foreword by the author.

A Beacon of Hope

By: Larissa Self

I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided, and that is the lamp of experience. I know no way of judging the future but by its past. ""Patrick Henry (Founding Father), Virginia, March 23, 1775 In the final chapter of The Riley Cooper Series of Hope, the plague that ravaged the world of human life still has no cure. Survivors have fled the cities in the hopes of not becoming its next prey. In their dire need to save themselves, many survivors became victims to false saviors that have resurrected some of history's worst practices. The murder of a dear friend flips Riley's world upside down. Frightened that the rest of the team being held hostage will succumb to the same fate, she, along with her family and friends, sets out to get them back. What they find is far beyond anything any of them could have imagined. Though Jackson, Wyoming, has become a beacon of hope for many, obstruction and hardship caused by others has planted the seed of doubt in the minds of some survivors. But Divine Providence has reminded Riley of His promise: "The day of tyranny has returned, but God has heard the cry of His people and has given them hope. That hope today, my friends, is us!" (Riley Cooper).

Women of the Gilte Legende

A Selection of Middle English Saints Lives

By: Jacobus (de Voragine),Larissa Tracy

This book is a prose translation of a selection of women saints' lives from the Gilte Legende, the Middle English version of Jacobus de Voragine's Legenda Aurea, one of the most influential books to come from the middle ages. Because of its popularity and subject matter, the Gilte Legende was widely read and used as a model for everyday life, including the education of women through examples set by early Christian martyrs. Many of the women saints spoke passionately about their convictions and defended their faith and their bodies to the death. For over 400 years, these amazing vernacular stories have been inaccessible to a wider audience. This book divides the lives of female saints into: the "ryght hooly virgins", who vocally defend their bodies against Roman persecution; "holy mothers", who give up their traditional role to pursue a life of contemplation; the 'repentant sinners', who convert and voice their defiance against a society that demanded silence in women; and the "holy transvestites", who cast off their gender identity to find absolution and salvation. Their lives reach through the ages to speak to a modern audience, academic and non-academic, forcing a re-examination of women's roles in the medieval period. LARISSA TRACY is Adjunct Assistant Professor of English at Georgetown University and George Mason University. Series editor JANE CHANCE

Bond of Passion: A Demonica Novella

By: Larissa Ione

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Larissa Ione returns with a new story in her Demonica series… He was an assassin. She was his lover. And his victim. Now, years later, she’s back from the dead and looking for vengeance. Thanks to an unexpected and fortuitous disaster, Tavin’s contract with the underworld’s Assassin Guild was broken decades early. But instead of freedom, he’s suffocated by guilt and regret. In many ways, he’s more trapped than he was before. In an attempt to numb his pain, he works at Underworld General Hospital, saving people instead of killing them. But nothing can diminish the memory of assassinating the female he loved…not even the knowledge that he’d done it to spare her an even worse fate. Deja remembers all of her dozens of former lives, and she knows that she only found love in one of them…until her lover murdered her. As a soul locked inside the nightmarish boundaries of demon hell, she stewed in hatred until a single, fateful event gave her one more shot at life. And at revenge. Now another specter from the past is threatening them both. Can two damaged people overcome their history to save not only themselves, but a second chance at love? **Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you'll enjoy each one as much as we do.**
