A policeman on his first murder case. A tattoo artist with a deadly secret. And a twisted serial killer sharpening his blades to kill again… When Brighton tattoo artist Marni Mullins discovers a flayed body, newly- promoted DI Francis Sullivan needs her help. There's a serial killer at large, slicing tattoos from his victims' bodies while they're still alive. Marni knows the tattooing world like the back of her hand, but has her own reasons to distrust the police.

In 2014 she won the CWA Dagger in the Library for her whole body of work. The Craftsman Award-winning writer Sharon Bolton joins Orion with her most gripping, suspenseful and chilling novel yet, tapping unnervingly well into our primal fear of being buried alive… August, 1999 On the hottest day of the year, Detective Inspector Florence Lovelady returns to her hometown to attend the funeral of Larry Glassbrook, the murderer she convicted thirty years earlier. A master carpenter and funeral director, he killed his victims by imprisoning them, alive, in the caskets he made. June, 1969 13 year old Patsy Wood has been missing for two days, the third teenager to disappear in as many months. A clay effigy of Patsy is found in a coffin, tied with her hair. Newly qualified WPC Florence Lovelady is struck by a report from a group of school children who claim to have heard a voice calling for help. A voice from a grave. August, 1999 As she tries to lay her ghosts to rest, DI Lovelady is drawn to Glassbrook’s old house, in the shadow of the Pendle Hills, where she once stayed with the family as a lodger. She is chilled by the discovery of an effigy. Is the killer still at large? And is she now in terrible danger?

Degrees of Guilt Fifty Shades meets Apple Tree Yard, a sexy psychological court room thriller with a jaw-dropping twist. Maria Bloxham is standing in her kitchen staring at the body of her husband of fifteen years, Edward. His head is split open. He's been struck from behind with a broken chair leg that had a metal hinge attached. Believing him dead, she calmly calls the police. When Maria is told that she will be charged with attempted murder and that her husband has survived the blow, she is deeply shocked. In her first police interview Maria exercises her right to silence, aware that it could count against her at trial, but too scared to issue her version of events while her husband may yet recover. Two jurors – Lottie and Cameron – both try to have themselves excused from service unsuccessfully. Thereafter we see the jurors taking their oath in the court room, an uncomfortable bunch, thrown together in the middle of the hottest summer on record. Blending psychological suspense with erotica, this court room thriller has a hook that will shock and intoxicate you.

  • Ed Carpenter, Artist [email protected] Commissions
    ED CARPENT ER 1 Ed Carpenter, Artist [email protected] Revision 2/1/21 Born: Los Angeles, California. 1946 Education: University of California, Santa Barbara 1965-6, Berkeley 1968-71 Ed Carpenter is an artist specializing in large-scale public installations ranging from architectural sculpture to infrastructure design. Since 1973 he has completed scores of projects for public, corporate, and ecclesiastical clients. Working internationally from his studio in Portland, Oregon, USA, Carpenter collaborates with a variety of expert consultants, sub-contractors, and studio assistants. He personally oversees every step of each commission, and installs them himself with a crew of long-time helpers, except in the case of the largest objects, such as bridges. While an interest in light has been fundamental to virtually all of Carpenter’s work, he also embraces commissions that require new approaches and skills. This openness has led to increasing variety in his commissions and a wide range of sites and materials. Recent projects include interior and exterior sculptures, bridges, towers, and gateways. His use of glass in new configurations, programmed artificial lighting, and unusual tension structures have broken new ground in architectural art. He is known as an eager and open-minded collaborator as well as technical innovator. Carpenter is grandson of a painter/sculptor, and step-son of an architect, in whose office he worked summers as a teenager. He studied architectural glass art under artists in England and Germany during the early 1970’s.

  • Rewriting Universes: Post-Brexit Futures in Dave Hutchinson’S Fractured Europe Quartet
    humanities Article Rewriting Universes: Post-Brexit Futures in Dave Hutchinson’s Fractured Europe Quartet Hadas Elber-Aviram Department of English, The University of Notre Dame (USA) in England, London SW1Y 4HG, UK; [email protected] Abstract: Recent years have witnessed the emergence of a new strand of British fiction that grapples with the causes and consequences of the United Kingdom’s vote to leave the European Union. Building on Kristian Shaw’s pioneering work in this new literary field, this article shifts the focus from literary fiction to science fiction. It analyzes Dave Hutchinson’s Fractured Europe quartet— comprised of Europe in Autumn (pub. 2014), Europe at Midnight (pub. 2015), Europe in Winter (pub. 2016) and Europe at Dawn (pub. 2018)—as a case study in British science fiction’s response to the recent nationalistic turn in the UK. This article draws on a bespoke interview with Hutchinson and frames its discussion within a range of theories and studies, especially the European hermeneutics of Hans-Georg Gadamer. It argues that the Fractured Europe quartet deploys science fiction topoi to interrogate and criticize the recent rise of English nationalism. It further contends that the Fractured Europe books respond to this nationalistic turn by setting forth an estranged vision of Europe and offering alternative modalities of European identity through the mediation of photography and the redemptive possibilities of cooking. Keywords: speculative fiction; science fiction; utopia; post-utopia; dystopia; Brexit; England; Europe; Dave Hutchinson; Fractured Europe quartet Citation: Elber-Aviram, Hadas. 2021.

  • Materialism in Ian Mcdonald's Novel the Dervish House
    English Language and Literature E-Journal / ISSN 2302-3546 MATERIALISM IN IAN MCDONALD’S NOVEL THE DERVISH HOUSE Yogi Sulendra 1, Kurnia Ningsih 2, Muhammad Al-Hafizh 3 Program Studi Bahasa Dan Sastra Inggris FBS Universitas Negeri Padang email: [email protected] Abstrak Tujuan penelitian ini adalah (1) menganalisa sejauh mana novel ini merefleksikan materialism, (2) menunjukkan kontribusi elemen fiksi (karakter, alur (konflik), dan seting) dalam mengungkap materialism dalam novel ini. Data penelitian ini adalah teks tertulis yang dikutip dari novel. Kutipan teks tersebut kemudian diinterpretasi dan dianalisa dengan elemen fiksi (karakter, alur (konflik), dan seting), lalu dikaitkan dengan konsep materialism yang dijelaskan oleh Marsha L. Richins, Scott Dawson, dan Russel W. Belk serta teori human motivation yang dirumuskan oleh Abraham Maslow. Hasil analisa menunjukkan bahwa dua karakter dalam novel ini melakukan tindakan-tindakan seorang yang materialistis untuk mencapai tujuan utama dalam hidup mereka, yaitu memiliki sebanyak mungkin materi, khususnya uang. Mereka sangat brilian dalam melihat kesempatan - kesempatan dalam melakukan bisnis. Mereka juga memiliki ambisi yang berlebihan dalam bekerja. Key words: materialism, materialistic, goal, material, money, brilliant, opportunities, excessive, ambition A. Introduction Having capability to fulfill needs in life is the goal of most of people. Everyone wants to have an established life. However, they have different view about what established life means. Some people have already felt satisfied with their life if they at least can fulfill their basic needs, such as food, clothes, and shelter. Others never feel satisfied, though they have already had more than what they need. These people have high level of desire to have more possession.

After all this time anticipating her arrival true, Jodie Whittaker’s first series as the Doctor has been and gone, so we’re dedicating a lot of coverage this issue to it. We’ve got everything from reviews of the series by new president Victoria Walker, to predictions from society stalwart Ian Bayley, ratings from Francis Stojsavljevic, and even some poetry from Will Shaw. But we’re not just looking at Series Eleven. We’re looking back too, with debates on the merits of the Capaldi era, a spirited defence of The Time of the Doctor, and drifting back through the years, even a look at the Virgin New Adventures! Behind the scenes, there’s plenty of “change, my dear, and not a moment too soon!” We bid adieu to valued comrades like Peter, Francis and Alfred as new faces are welcomed onto the committee, with Victoria now helming the good ship WhoSoc, supported by new members Rory, Dahria and Ben, while familiar faces look on wistfully from the port bow. It’s also the Society’s Thirtieth Anniversary this year, which will be marked by a party in Mansfield College followed by a slap-up dinner; an event which promises to make even the most pampered Time Lord balk at its extravagance! On a personal note, it’s my last year before I graduate Oxford, at least for now, so when the next issue is out, I’ll be writing from an entirely new place.
