SUSPENSE MAGAZINE Spring 2021 / Vol Suspense, Mystery, Horror and Thriller Fiction SPRING 2021 A Suspenseful Spring has Sprung! GREG F. GIFUNE DIETRICH KALTEIS DON BENTLEY Inspired by Actual Events JONATHAN KELLERMAN with Parris Afton Bonds J.A. JANCE JOSEPH BADAL Get a Sneak Peek of Head Back to Harper’s Island “BLACKOUT" with JOHN RAAB MARCO CAROCARI From the Editor How is everyone doing out there? I must say, it’s been quite the year thus far. We have mostly been locked down for so long, we’ve been streaming everything we can possibly watch. We have also, hopefully, read more books this year than in the past. CREDITS It’s now 2021, and time to turn the page John Raab on the worst year most of us has ever lived President & Chairman through. We want to remember the people Shannon Raab who have died during this pandemic and Creative Director give our prayers to all the families that Abigail Peralta have suffered such a horrible loss. Yes, it’s not a “far out” thing to say 2020 was unlike Vice President, Editorial Dept. anything we have ever seen before…but, with luck, it’s something we will never see again. We see the light at the end of the tunnel. Our medical professionals are working hard Amy Lignor Editor to ensure the vaccines get to everyone, and we can finally enjoy the writing conferences we’ve missed so much. Thank you to one and all. Contributors In case you’ve run out of things to watch, here are the top five hidden gems you might Susan Santangelo Kaye George have missed when they were originally released: Weldon Burge 5. Evil Under the Sun starring Peter Ustinov as Hercule Poirot. This movie appeared Ashley Wintters D.P. Lyle M.D. in 1982. Many people are familiar with Murder on the Orient Express and Death on the J.M. LeDuc Nile, but this movie is just as good, if not better! David Ingram 4. Trenchcoat starring Margot Kidder and Robert Hays. This movie came out in Anthony J. Franze Barry Lancet 1983 and introduced me to Malta. This is a funny mystery, with David Suchet playing the Leslie Borghini Inspector. I’ve told author Boyd Morrison, a huge fan of Malta, this is the movie to watch Mary Lignor Jeff Ayers in order to see the island and have some fun along the way. Joseph Badal 3. Identity starring John Cusack, Ray Liotta, Amanda Peet, and an all-star cast of Dennis Palumbo Lauren Brabrook many others. Released in 2003, this movie was a roller coaster ride that continuously Robert Allen Papinchak made you think: “What the hell is going on?” At about the fifteen-minute mark, the John Valeri Patrick Whitehurst movie takes off into hyper-speed and away you Kirsche Romo go! Bailey Day 2. Murder by Death starring Maggie Jaime Lynn Hendricks Patricia Wilson Smith, Peter Falk, and so many others.

She nods as she stops mid-word, her shoulders drooping. I hand her a box of tissues before I uncross my legs and make my way across the vast room. I am annoyed. My secretary knows the drill, I am not to be disturbed while in session. Just a slight disturbance can throw a patient off kilter. I crack the door open expecting my secretary’s flushed, moon face, but there are two men in trench coats. I look at them, and they look at me as if I showed up at their place of work uninvited. I don’t play their game. I stay quiet. I glide my gaze over to my secretary, who is huddled in the corner, her cheeks ruby red. She stares at me, her eyes blinking morse code. I return my attention to the men. In the movies FBI agents thrust their badges out and pull them back so quickly it looks as if they are performing a magic trick. These two hold the badges in front of my face long enough for me to become bored. One of the agents leans in as he takes the lead. “Doctor Cohen?” he asks. He is fit and young. Too young. No more than twenty-seven, give or take a few years. The second agent is even younger. His blue eyes shine brightly with inexperience like morning dew. “There are so many Doctor Cohens in the world,” I say with a straight face. “I know what you mean,” the first agent says. “Are you Doctor Ethan Cohen?” I nod. “Can we steal ten minutes of your time?” “Gentlemen, I am with a patient,” I whisper conspiratorially, throwing my gaze behind my shoulder quickly. They pretend they do not hear me. The first one pulls a small photograph from a manila envelope. “Do you recognize this person?” he asks. Unlike my wife, I don’t mind having my picture taken. Sylvia thinks that fact makes me a narcissist. Who isn’t a narcissist in this day and age? Sylvia likes to throw her thin hand in front of her face in an attempt to conceal herself from a camera, allowing just a small part of her to escape and to be captured. A green eye in one photo. A freckled forehead in another. A cascade of red hair here. A seashell of an ear accentuated by an earring there. Lips coated in a dark red lipstick; a shade called Sugar Plum. I am the only one who knows the true meaning behind those little performances she puts on. She enjoys marinating in the adulation her modesty arouses in others. I, on the other hand, don’t mind having my picture taken because all I want is for a photo to look like me. I keep waiting for a photograph of me to be of me and not be of a stranger I do not know. I study photos of myself for minutes at a time because I am fascinated by the fact that I am nothing like the smiling, bright-eyed, well-groomed, tall man in his early forties. I feel a disconnect between me and him; between us. SuspenseMagazine.com 3 Sometimes I look up and catch Sylvia watching me. sandwich. After finally deciding she apologizes, and the curly haired cashier who takes her order smiles, his eyes I feel the agent’s eyes on me. I have no choice but to stare twinkling.

  • The Complexities of Latina Sexuality on Ugly Betty Tanya González
    IS UGLY THE NEW SEXY? The Complexities of Latina Sexuality on Ugly Betty Tanya González ABC’s Emmy and Golden Globe winning television show Ugly Betty stars America Ferrera as Betty Suarez, an intelligent Mexican American executive assistant who lives in Queens, New York, but works at Mode in Manhattan. An adaptation from the Colombian telenovela,Yo soy, Betty la fea, this television show works on a fairy tale premise: the ugly protagonist with a heart of gold will eventually obtain happiness by virtue of her goodness. However, Ugly Betty offers a protagonist with multiple love interests, constantly involving her in a variety of love triangles, begging the question, “Is ugly the new sexy?” The following analysis of Betty as a sexual subject demonstrates that Ugly Betty, within the limits of Hollywood representation, offers complex subjects instead of one-dimensional types. The show’s use of a Latino camp aesthetic continually introduces elements, like Betty’s sexuality, that push the limits of how we perceive Latinas/os on television and in everyday life. As a result, Ugly Betty surprisingly illustrates Chicana/o and Latina/o feminist theories about identity construction. ABC’s Emmy and Golden Globe winning television show Ugly Betty is a global iteration of the Colombian telenovela1 phenomenon Yo soy, Betty la fea (1999-2001). Ugly Betty, which premiered Fall 2006 and will end Spring 2010, stars America Ferrera as Betty Suarez, an intelligent, sweet, perky young Latina2 who lives in Queens, but works at Mode, a fictional representation of Vogue magazine. As the title suggests, people perceive Betty as ugly because she is not model-skinny; wears glasses, braces, and bangs; and has poor fashion sense.

  • THESIS a REASON to BELIEVE: a RHETORICAL ANALYSIS of MORMON MISSIONARY FILMS Submitted by Sky L. Anderson Department of Communic
    THESIS A REASON TO BELIEVE: A RHETORICAL ANALYSIS OF MORMON MISSIONARY FILMS Submitted by Sky L. Anderson Department of Communication Studies In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Master of Arts Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Spring 2012 Master’s Committee Advisor: Carl Burgchardt Eric Aoki Kathleen Kiefer ABSTRACT A REASON TO BELIEVE: A RHETORICAL ANALYSIS OF MORMON MISSIONARY FILMS In this analysis, I examine Mormon cinema and how it functions on a rhetorical level. I specifically focus on missionary films, or movies that are framed by LDS missionary narratives. Through an analysis of two LDS missionary films, namely Richard Dutcher’s God’s Army (2000) and Mitch Davis’ The Other Side of Heaven (2001), I uncover two rhetorical approaches to fostering spirituality. In my first analysis, I argue that God’s Army presents two pathways to spirituality: one which produces positive consequences for the characters, and the other which produces negative consequences. I call these pathways, respectively, ascending and descending spirituality, and I explore the rhetorical implications of this framing. In my second analysis, I contend that The Other Side of Heaven creates a rhetorical space wherein the audience may transform. Specifically, the film constructs a “Zion,” or a heaven on earth, with three necessary components, which coincide perfectly with established LDS teachings: God, people, and place. These three elements invite the audience to accept that they are imperfect, yet they can improve if they so desire. Ultimately, by comparing my findings from both films, I argue that the films’ rhetorical strategies are well constructed to potentially reinforce beliefs for Mormon audiences, and they also may invite non-Mormons to think more positively about LDS teachings.

  • Full Press Release
    2018-19 SEASON PREVIEW OF IMTA ALUMS ON THE SMALL SCREEN IMTA Press Release September 6, 2018 Each fall as a new television season begins, it is gratifying to note the IMTA alumni who add to their résumés with work on “television.” In the 21st Century, “television” is not just a “smart” TV, but any portable device or computer with internet access. Networks and cable channels produce their own line-up of original shows and films, as do streaming services such as Netflix, Amazon and Hulu…and soon, Apple TV. YouTube and Vimeo serve as platforms for independent filmmakers and writers to release original series and films. All of these outlets provide unlimited—and ongoing—possibilities for IMTA alumni to appear on “the small screen” by making their full catalog of shows, new and old, available on-line so that they may be viewed year-round, 24-7. Below are just a few of the IMTA alumni working on network, cable or web series, appearing on returning or new series in regular or recurring roles, announced guest-starring appearances, and lead or supporting roles in TV movies and mini-series. Our apologies for any names missing. IMTA is equally proud of all of the alumni working in the entertainment industry and we try to keep track of as many as we can. Please let us know of castings, guest appearances and other successes of IMTA alums. IMTA alum Amy Acker returns for the second season of the FOX series “The Gifted” on September 25. The action-adventure family drama from Marvel tells the story of a suburban couple whose ordinary lives are rocked by the sudden discovery that their children possess mutant powers.

  • IMTA ALUM CHRISTOPHER GORHAM and a BOY CALLED PO IMTA Press Release August 31, 2017 a Boy Called Po Opens in Limited Release Friday, September 1
    IMTA ALUM CHRISTOPHER GORHAM AND A BOY CALLED PO IMTA Press Release August 31, 2017 A Boy Called Po opens in limited release Friday, September 1 “They call it the autism spectrum for a reason because it is a wide spectrum of behaviors and abilities…I think this film does a lot to open people’s eyes to the reality of what it’s like to raise a kid like Po.” – Christopher Gorham IMTA alum Christopher Gorham’s 20 year career has included many memorable characters on some of television’s most popular shows, such as “Ugly Betty’s” boyfriend Henry Grubstick and “Covert Affairs’” blind CIA handler Auggie Anderson. He has had starring roles on “Jake 2.0,” “Harper’s Island” and “Medical Investigation,” and many featured appearances on series such as “The Magicians,” “Two Broke Girls” and “Once Upon a Time” among many others. Gorham has also branched out into the other side of the camera, directing several episodes of “Covert Affairs,” the short Gamechangers comedies, and the recently released We Love You, Sally Carmichael! But in the independent feature A Boy Called Po, Gorham takes on a role unlike most of his previous work; a role that it is both deeply personal and relatable to his own life. A Boy Called Po, based on a true story, follows a recently widowed engineer struggling to raise his 12-year old autistic son. Patrick, who prefers to be called ‘Po,’ is a gifted but challenged child who was very close to his mother and unable to communicate his own sense of loss.
