The Corpse Whisperer


Book Description

Welcome to the world of Allie Nighthawk, corpse whisperer and bad ass zombie hunter. “If you raise deadheads, you’d better be able to put ‘em down. Nobody said it was pretty. But in this day, when vampires aren’t just for breakfast anymore, and the dead are disposable pawns for necromancers, someone has to ante up. Looks like I won the lotto. Imagine my delight. You should thank me, really, because the world is batshit crazy.” When the zombie population spikes and no one knows why, it’s up to Allie to solve the mystery. But there’s a hitch. She’s stuck babysitting Leo Abruzzi, a zombie-bitten gangster who’s turning state’s evidence. But the mob and a powerful necromancer will stop at nothing to take Leo and Allie down. Allie Nighthawk is Anita Blake on steroids, with a fondness for leather and Jack on the rocks. She has a healthy dose of Stephanie Plum and Rachel Morgan in her, too, though she’d never admit it. The battle between good and evil just got wicked fun.

I’m just living the dream.” Allie Nighthawk faces a ghost from her past as she explores the fascinating and historic world of Cincinnati’s underground.

Mia Murphy's friends have dubbed her the Corpse Whisperer…and life is about to prove them right. Mia, Hattie, and Lucy are off to a posh island resort for a much-needed girls trip to coastal Maine. Sun, fun, margaritas, and a birthday party are their only plans…until they discover Hattie's cousin with a corpse in her hot tub and the cops on her deck. With her monogrammed knitting needles lodged in his chest, Hattie's cousin is the primary suspect. But who lets a widowed sassy senior spend her birthday in jail? Not Mia and her pals. As Mia, Hattie, and Lucy investigate behind-the-scenes shenanigans at the VIP resort, stakes skyrocket when they link the victim to Mia's missing mom. With the body count rising, they plunge into a high-octane race involving an unusual boat captain, haunted caves, secret identities, and pirate booty.

The Baroque Night


Book Description

In The Baroque Night, authorial idiosyncrasy hybridizes the concepts of "baroque" and "noir" across the fields of film, theater, literature, and philosophy, arguing for mental function as form, as an impossible object, a container in which the container itself is the thing contained. The book is an experiment in thinking difference and thinking differently, an ethics of otherness and the abstract. Spencer Golub inverts the unreality of the real and the reality of fiction, exposing the tropes of memory, identity, and authenticity as a scenic route through life that ultimately blocks the view. The Baroque Night draws upon materials that have not previously been included in studies of either the baroque or film noir, while offering new perspectives on other, more familiar sources. Leibniz's concepts of the monad and compossibility provide organizing thought models, and death, fear, and mental illness cast their anamorphic images across surfaces that are deeper and closer than they at first appear. Key characters and situations in the book derive from the works of Alfred Hitchcock, Henri-Georges Clozot, Jean-Pierre Melville, Oscar Wilde, Georges Perec, Patricia Highsmith, William Shakespeare, Jean Racine, Pierre Corneille, and Arthur Conan Doyle, among many others. This is virtuality and reality for the phobic, making it a fascinating and viable document of and episteme for the anxious age in which we (always) find ourselves living, though not yet fully alive. This performance of suspect evidence speaks to and in the ways we are organically inauthentic, the cause of our own causality and our own worst eyewitnesses to all that appears and disappears in space and time.
