Book Description

This collection of essays by architect Mario Gooden investigates the construction of African American identity and representation through the medium of architecture. These five texts move between history, theory, and criticism to explore a discourse of critical spatial practice engaged in the constant reshaping of the African Diaspora. African American cultural institutions designed and constructed in recent years often rely on cultural stereotypes, metaphors, and clichés to communicate significance, demonstrating "Africanisms" through form and symbolism--but there is a far richer and more complex heritage to be explored. Presented here is a series of questions that interrogate and illuminate other narratives of "African American architecture," and reveal compelling ways of translating the philosophical idea of the African Diaspora's experience into space.

Book Description

Winner of the Ampersand Prize, IN THE DARK SPACES is a genre-smashing hostage drama about 14-year-old Tamara, who's faced with an impossible choice when she falls for her kidnappers. Yet this is no ordinary kidnapping. Tamara has been living on a star freighter in deep space, and her kidnappers are terrifying Crowpeople – the only aliens humanity has ever encountered. No-one has ever survived a Crowpeople attack, until now – and Tamara must use everything she has just to stay alive. But survival always comes at a price, and there’s no handbook for this hostage crisis. As Tamara comes to know the Crowpeople's way of life, and the threats they face from humanity's exploration into deep space, she realises she has an impossible choice to make. Should she stay as the only human among the Crows, knowing she'll never see her family again … or inevitably betray her new community if she wants to escape? This ground-breaking thriller won the Ampersand Prize, a stand-out entry with a blindingly original voice: raw, strange and deeply sympathetic. With its vivid and immersive world-building, this electrifying debut is The Knife of Never Letting Go meets Homeland, for the next generation of sci-fi readers.

Book Description

Horror films revel in taking viewers into shadowy places where the evil resides, whether it is a house, a graveyard or a dark forest. These mysterious spaces foment the terror at the heart of horror movies, empowering the ghastly creatures that emerge to kill and torment. With Dark Places, Barry Curtis leads us deep inside these haunted spaces to explore them – and the monstrous antagonists who dwell there. In this wide-ranging and compelling study, Curtis demonstrates how the claustrophobic interiors of haunted spaces in films connect to the ‘dark places’ of the human psyche. He examines diverse topics such as the special effects – ranging from crude to state-of-the-art – used in movies to evoke supernatural creatures; the structures, projections and architecture of horror movie sets; and ghosts as symbols of loss, amnesia, injustice and vengeance. Dark Places also examines the reconfiguration of the haunted house in film as a motel, an apartment, a road or a spaceship, and how these re-imagined spaces thematically connect to Gothic fictions. Curtis draws his examples from numerous iconic films – including Nosferatu, Psycho, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Shining – as well as lesser-known international works, which allow him to consider different cultural ideas of ‘haunting’. Japanese horror films and their Hollywood remakes – such as Ringu and The Ring, or Juon and The Grudge – come under particular scrutiny, as he explores Japanese cinema’s preoccupation with malevolent forces from the past. Whether you love the splatter of blood or prefer to hide under the couch, Dark Places cuts to the heart of why we are drawn to carnage.

Book Description

'HELP US' Lilly Valentine tries to help a damaged teenager - but has she been horrifically abused, or is she lying to save her own skin? Lilly Valentine is not in a happy place. In the midst of her life crashing down around her, Lilly is asked by a child psychologist if she will help one of her patients: a girl currently sectioned having stolen a car while extremely drunk. While Lilly visits her she is introduced to Chloe, another unstable teenager who slips Lilly a note saying: 'Help us'. And then Lilly's client is killed and Chloe accused of her murder. Her case is not helped by the fact that the words 'Help us' have been carved on the dead girl's stomach... As the investigation gets underway, more and more accusations come to light. But are they lies to divert attention; delusions of a mentally ill mind, or may there be some truth lurking behind the walls of the Grove? Praise for Helen Black: 'Gripping and gritty, this book will keep you hooked from the first page to the last.' Roberta Kray 'A dark and gripping read that will have you on the edge of your seat.' Closer magazine 'Frightening, depressing, and knowledgeable.' Country Life.

Book Description

Dark Spaces is a free verse poetry book written to shed light on the stigmas and misconceptions of mental illness while expressing the emotions felt by those that fight every day to deal with them. Having grown up in a household where my mom struggled with Bipolar Disorder, I have watched how her mental illness has affected her life. My mom is very outspoken about her disorder, but many suffer in silence as mental illness eats away at them. There are different types of mental illness, but I will focus more on mood disorders such as Depression and Bipolar Disorder. These mental illnesses are often used against people to make them feel inept or inadequate. Those that struggle with mental illness often struggle getting help because of fear! Fear is very powerful and whispers things into your ear that you can convince yourself are true. If you are reading this and are struggling, I hope these poems will help you fight that fear that tells you to give up or that you’re not good enough. You’re just as valuable as everyone else, and you are loved more than you know, don’t let anyone tell you differently. If you’re reading this and know someone that may be struggling with mental illness, I hope that this encourages you to help them fight. Become a light that exposes the lies and help them know they are loved. The book will be separated into three chapters: Lost in the Darkness, Exposing the Darkness, and Becoming the Light in Dark Spaces, these chapters will discuss different vantage points of mental illness and how to shine light on these dark spaces.
