T h r i l l e r F e s t . c o m From the Editor Thank you, everyone, who emailed me about CREDITS my last letter from the editor. That was easily the John Raab biggest response I’ve ever received for a letter, and President & Chairman I don’t know whether that is a curse or blessing. Shannon Raab I feel pressure to upstage it, but when something Creative Director is perfect can you do better, or is it acceptable to Romaine Reeves simply do as well? CFO When I interview authors, and I pose the Amy Lignor question to them: Do they feel pressure to write a better book? Editor I basically get the same answer. They don’t feel the pressure; they just want to make their current work-in-progress the best it can be. But their fans don’t feel that way. Take Jim Thomsen Copy Editor movie sequels: Hundreds of movies have had sequels, and you hear it all time—the sequel isn’t as good, let alone better, than the original. Does that mean that the first book Contributors in a series is the pinnacle and all the others are just sliding down the backside of the Mark P. Sadler performance slope? Susan Santangelo DJ Weaver I would disagree with that. CK Webb Authors are a unique breed. They don’t think like you and I. They can sit down and Kiki Howell Kaye George tell a story in four to five hundred pages, and unlike a movie that takes two hours, books Weldon Burge occupy more of our time. Ashley Wintters Scott Pearson Many authors use the first book in the series to set the stage. The character hasn’t been D.P. Lyle M.D. fully developed yet, nor has the setting around them. Creating a human from scratch, Kathleen Heady Stephen Brayton with emotions of love, hate, revenge, fear, etc., takes some time. Standalone thrillers Brian Blocker generally have one, maybe two characters that have some depth to them, but the pace Andrew MacRae Val Conrad is so fast that such novels are more about the action and plot rather than the characters. Melissa Dalton Now I can agree that some authors have taken their series too far. I understand that Elliott Capon J.M. LeDuc it can be very difficult for an author to say, “It’s over, after so many books I have nothing Holly Price left, unless I write the same book over and over.” And that happens. I’m sure you can Kari Wainwright David Ingram think of several writers who could just stop their series and move on to something else. Jodi Hanson But they get criticism for that, too. Take J.K. Rowling: She gets hit with bad reviews and Susan May complaints that “this is no Harry Potter.” No, Harry ran his course; it was time to move Jenny Hilborne Anthony J. Franze on. I applaud her for her decision to say it’s over. Kristin Centorcelli I don’t feel it’s a curse to walk out of the gate Jerry Zavada S.L. Menear with a successful first book in a series. I think that Leslie Borghini the reader has to take the series as a whole and see Mary Lignor Julie Whiteley the progression of the main characters as well as the Sara Guisti secondary ones. Jeff Ayers Now, is this letter better than the last one? Is it as Customer Service and good as the last one?

I’m in the midst of a book tour, on the way from somewhere to somewhere else! What I see in every city—besides a lot of pals and readers, hurray—is fabulous bookstores with tantalizing expanses of bookshelves. So proud to see “Truth Be Told” prominently displayed—Hurray. The starred review from Booklist says, “In Ryan’s adroit hands, even foreclosures can be sexy.” Love that. And the starred review from Library Journal says, “Drop everything and binge-read until the mindboggling conclusion.” So, hurray. Do that. But after “Truth Be Told,” how do you discover what to read? It’s all about the buzz, right, and one friend telling another. That’s part of the fun. Still, you don’t need me to tell you to pick up Lisa Scottoline or Linda Fairstein or Tess Gerritsen or Lisa Gardner or Joe Finder—those are must- buys, right? And you’d choose them instantly. I do, too! But each of us has our discoveries, our finds, our books that should be big on buzz. Some of mine are brand new, some not-necessarily-new but not-to-be-missed. For instance: have you read “ICE SHEAR” by MP Cooley? She’s amazing, and this chilling and suspenseful debut is proof of a real talent. “RAGE AGAINST THE DYING”—Becky Masterman’s first novel of suspense has one of the coolest characters ever—an ex-FBI agent. Even though she’s retired, she’s still got moves and nerve and power. Terrific. You haven’t missed Linwood Barclay’s “TRUST YOUR EYES,” have you? Go back and get it. It has the most delicious premise. It’s about . well, you’ll see. He’s got a new one, too. I can’t resist adding Lisa Unger, even though she’s probably one of your faves already. Her skill with psychological suspense is unmatched. Be prepared to be creeped out and mesmerized. “CRAZY LOVE YOU” isn’t available yet—but it will be soon. Rachel Howzell Hall, also terrific. “LAND OF SHADOWS” reveals a fresh, powerful voice—set in Los Angeles with a police officer who’s gritty and hilarious and smart. Oh! “THE MARTIAN” by Andy Weir. Is it a thriller or sci-fi? Who cares. And okay, fine, how does Sue Grafton do it? She doesn’t need me to remind you, but you have to give a standing ‘O’ for the author who paved the way for so many mystery authors, and continues to create and innovate and constantly surprise. “W IS FOR WASTED” made me cry. Beginning our descent into—where? So gotta turn off the electronic devices. But books! You can always read. Let me know if you agree with my choices. And crossing fingers that you’ll love “Truth Be Told.” ■ HANK PHILLIPPI RYAN is the on-air investigative reporter for Boston’s NBC affiliate. She’s won 32 EMMYs, 12 Edward R.

Décembre 2019 © Françoise Goulet-Pelletier, 2019 ii Université de Montréal Unité académique : Département d’histoire de l’art et d’études cinématographiques Ce mémoire intitulé L’évolution des représentations des crimes sexuels et du harcèlement sexuel dans les téléséries américaines post #Metoo. Présenté par Françoise Goulet-Pelletier A été évalué par un jury composé des personnes suivantes Isabelle Raynauld Directrice de recherche Marta Boni Membre du jury Stéfany Boisvert Membre du jury iii Résumé Le mouvement social #Metoo a bouleversé les mœurs et les façons de penser quant aux enjeux liés au harcèlement sexuel et aux abus sexuels. En effet, en automne 2017, une vague de dénonciations déferle sur la place publique et peu à peu, les frontières de ce qui est acceptable ou pas semblent se redéfinir au sein de plusieurs sociétés. En partant de cette constatation sociétale, nous avons cru remarquer une reprise des enjeux entourant le mouvement social #Metoo dans les séries télévisées américaines de fiction. Ce mémoire souhaite illustrer et analyser l’évolution des représentations des crimes sexuels et du harcèlement sexuel inspirée par le mouvement #Metoo. En reprenant les grandes lignes de ce mouvement, cette étude s’attarde sur son impact sur la société nord-américaine.

Each state‘s relative share of these programs is described. The geographic themes, patterns, and images from these programs are analyzed, with an emphasis on identity in five American regions: the Mid-Atlantic, New England, the Midwest, the South, and the West. The dissertation concludes with a comparison of television‘s senses of place to those described in previous studies of regional identity. iii For Sue iv CONTENTS List of Tables vi Acknowledgments vii 1.

  • Poisonous Mushrooms
    POISONOUS MUSHROOMS DR. SURANJANA SARKAR ASSISTANT PROFESSOR IN BOTANY, SURENDRANATH COLLEGE, KOLKATA Dr. Suranjana Sarkar, SNC INTRODUCTION It was difficult not to since eating wild mushrooms and mushroom poisoning seem to be closely related subjects. This is a rather important topic since mushrooms have apparently been gathered for eating throughout the world, for thousands of years, and it is also likely that during that time many people became ill or died when they inadvertently consumed poisonous mushrooms. Because some mushrooms were known to cause death when consumed, they were also known to be used by assassins. Dr. Suranjana Sarkar, SNC Used as Poison in Assassinations and Murders The most famous of all planned murders was that of Emperor Claudius by his fourth wife, Agrippina, The Younger (also his niece!). The story behind this assassination, as well as the political intrigue that was present during this period of the Roman Empire would have made a great mini series or soap opera. Claudius became emperor, in 41 A.D., following the assassination of his nephew Caligula, and married Agrippina, his fourth wife, after disposing of Messalina, his third wife, for adultery. Agrippina came into the marriage with Nero, a son from a previous marriage and wanted him to follow Claudius as emperor. Agrippina persuaded him to adopt her son so that Nero would be in line to become emperor. Once Nero was adopted, Agrippina plotted to kill Claudius, which involved a number of people. Although ClaudiusDr. Suranjana Sarkar,had SNCa son, Brittanicus, by Messalina, and should have succeeded him as emperor, Claudius shielded him from the responsibilities as heir to the throne and promoted Nero as his successor.
