Ashford David: A Book of Monsters

A Book of Monsters

Promethean Horror in Modern Literature and Culture

The second spellbinding book in the Sunday Times bestselling gothic romantasy series inspired by Jane Eyre

Tales of a Deadly Devotion

In this book, Owen Cantrell focuses on politics and popular culture in the United States from 1980 to 2020 to argue that the twin structures of feeling of nostalgia and paranoia offered a pathway to address the changed relationship to history in this era that were a result of the backlash politics to the gains of the civil rights movement(s). Drawing on Bifo Berardi's contention that "the future is over" helps explain how the concept of the future effectively ended in this era and made the structures of paranoia and nostalgia eminently more desirable as a cultural response to political dilemmas. As the future lost its place as a locus of value, then, we entered a state of what Mark Fisher calls "a failed mourning" to describe how the narratives of paranoia and nostalgia offered compensation for a future that no longer felt relevant or even possible. Throughout the latter half of the twentieth century and the first two decades of the twenty-first century, the structures of paranoia and nostalgia mirrored the changing political relationship to history, race, and culture in the United States. From Back to the Future and The Matrix to Get Out and Black Panther, Cantrell demonstrates how paranoia and nostalgia have structured American political and cultural life over the past forty years Ultimately, this book addresses both how the structures of paranoia and nostalgia functioned in this era, as well as how popular films reflected the failure to imagine the future.

You Should Have Been Nicer to My Mom

No sex. No kids. No future? When Tom Feiling moved to Tokyo as a student in the early nineties, Japan was a beacon of the future: a rising superpower, a technology giant, a global symbol of prosperity, civility and success. When he returned twenty-four years later, the country was still a sign of things to come-but, he began to realize, it was no longer a beacon. It was a warning. This is a unique account of contemporary Japan, which travels from the quiet of its furthest flung villages to the aspiration and dynamism of its cities. It tells the story of how, from the mid-seventies onwards, Japanese society unknowingly embarked on a vast, silent process of transformation that is still unfolding today. It is still peaceful; it is still prosperous. But the Japanese population is dwindling at an alarming rate. As things stand, Japan's populace will shrink by a third with each new generation; by 2070 it will have lost the equivalent of the entire population outside of Tokyo, Osaka and Nagoya. Travelling through shrines and bars, rice fields and mango farms, coffee shops and old peoples' homes, Feiling meets with those affected by, and driving, this transformation. Through countless interviews and extensive research, he weaves together a powerful account of how and why men and women are ceasing to pair off and have kids. He reveals how sexual appetites and behaviours are both shaped by, and reshaping the evolving economy, and he considers both the dangers and the opportunities of the rise in solo living in Japan-and beyond. For although this is a Japanese story, it will soon be playing out all around the world. A low birth rate, an ageing society, and a shrinking population are visible everywhere from Spain to South Korea. Japan is simply further down the line. So this really is a journey to the future: sex robots and herbivorous men are now Japanese phenomena, but they may soon be coming for us all.

Heavenly Bodies

Fallen Stars

A richly atmospheric fantasy set across one day, as a ballet troupe of lost souls perform an ancient dance for the faerie realms, knowing they could be snatched away by their audience of faerie princes, imps and sprites at any moment. For fans of The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern, Caraval by Stephanie Garber, Pantomime by Laura Lam and The Queen of the Night by Alexander Chee. As dawn breaks on All Souls Day, the lingering mists part to unveil an unending vista of serried gravestones. Between them looms a theatre like a haunted house from a horror film and the sleek iron carapace of a steam train - the Pearl. On board are the cast, orchestra and crew of a travelling ballet company, performing a show called The Apple and the Pearl. Nine o' clock in the morning and as he stumbles toward the restaurant car the lighting director, Zach, is introduced to a new recruit, Lara. "Have you ever worked in ballet before?" he asks her and quickly follows up with, "Have you had any contact with the supernatural?"Everyone from the principal ballerina to the first violinist, from the wardrobe mistress to the newest members of the corps de ballet does everything they can to get the show on stage and looking fantastic. But in the world of The Apple and The Pearl these artists also have to contend with the malevolent glamour of an audience of Fae creatures only too eager to snatch them away into the Otherworld.

The Apple and the Pearl
