Karen sold her soul to the devil and made a pact in order to have a child unbeknownst to John. Karen became pregnant and possessed and began having unnatural sex with a demonic entity. Now the couple was really scared. The fetus just wouldn't abort and an exorcism was a failure. Finally Karen gave birth to Desmond. John and Karen separated and then divorced. The super wealthy Rhams adopted Desmond in a sealed adoption. At puberty, killing powers erupted in Desmond. After murdering his adoptive parents and biological father, Desmond went to kill his mother. She, now exorcised, kills him instead, thus good overcoming evil.




Fertility, Ideology, and the Cultural Politics of Reproduction at Rome


Book Description

Roman women bore children not just for their husbands, but for the Roman state. This book is the first comprehensive study of the importance of fecunditas (human fertility) in Roman society, c. 100 BC - AD 300. Its focus is the cultural impact of fecunditas, from gendered assumptions about infertility, to the social capital children brought to a marriage, to the emperors’ exploitation of fecunditas to build and preserve dynasties. Using a rich range of source material - literary, juristic, epigraphic, numismatic - never before collected, it explores how the Romans shaped fecunditas into an essential female virtue.

Romulus' Asylum


Book Description

Modern treatments of Rome have projected in highly emotive terms the perceived problems, or the aspirations, of the present: 'race-mixture' has been blamed for the collapse of the Roman empire; more recently, Rome and Roman society have been depicted as 'multicultural'. Moving beyond these and beyond more traditional, juridical approaches to Roman identity, Emma Dench focuses on ancient modes of thinking about selves and relationships with other peoples, including descent-myths, history, and ethnographies. She explores the relative importance of sometimes closely interconnected categories of blood descent, language, culture and clothes, and territoriality. Rome's creation of a distinctive imperial shape is understood in the context of the broader ancient Mediterranean world within which the Romans self-consciously situated themselves, and whose modes of thought they appropriated and transformed.
