<i>Zombies want brains. Vampires want blood. Cannibals want human flesh. </i>All<i> monsters need feeding.</i><br/><br/>Horror has been embraced by mainstream pop culture more than ever before, with horror characters and aesthetics infecting TV, music videos and even TikTok trends. Yet even with the commercial and critical success of <i>The Babadook, Hereditary, Get Out, The Haunting of Hill House, Yellowjackets</i> and countless other horror films and TV series over the last few years, loving the genre still prompts the question: <i>what's wrong with you?</i> Implying, of course, that there is something <i>not quite right</i> about the people who make and consume it. In <i>Feeding the Monster</i>, Anna Bogutskaya dispels this notion once and for all by examining how horror responds to and fuels our feelings of fear, anxiety, pain, hunger and power.

<b>From the bestselling author of <i>Mayflies</i> and <i>Caledonian Road</i>, a heart-enriching celebration of what makes us great: our friends.</b><br/><br/>If we are lucky, in our lives, our friendships will be rich and varied. They will be shared with those with two legs, with four legs, with whiskers or clean faces; they will come dressed in the simplicity of childhood or the professional attire of adult life; some will span decades, and some will be only fleeting. But the thing they will all have in common is that life is not only unimaginable - but unimagined - without them.<br/><br/>In these gorgeous personal reflections, Andrew O'Hagan explores friendship through music and poetry, memory and history, illuminating the many ways and reasons that people come together, and how our lives are all the better because we do.

Loving Others, Othering Love is a multi-modal lyric essay that investigates the interdependence of love and racism. It is a text that mines the multitude of ways that each requires the other in efforts to normalize or mask white privilege. Here, Lee marshals her analyses out of such material as Swedish newspaper reporting on racist hate crimes, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, Princess Bari, Ovid, and the manifesto of mass shooter Elliot Rodger. Startling in its elegant incisions into the literary, the popular, the public, and the mythological, Loving Others, Othering Love enacts a critical poetics of assemblage in order to reveal the racist duplicity of love. Mara Lee is one of Sweden's most prominent contemporary writers, as well as a translator and scholar. She is the author of several novels and volumes of poetry, including the internationally recognized Ladies from 2007 and award ­winning Love and Hate from 2018. Lee's work mobilizes the paradoxes and confluences that emerge when the physical and linguistic realities of sexuality, gender, and race manifest themselves against the backdrop of Swedish welfare state whiteness, its quotidian power and purported racelessness. She is professor of art, art theory, and art history at Konstfack University of Arts, Crafts and Design, and guest professor at the Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm.

This is the most important collection of writing published today. It's a book the world must know' JENNI FAGAN</b><br/><br/>Following the 2014 Gaza War and decades of oppression and resistance, storytelling platform We Are Not Numbers (WANN) was founded to give a voice to the youth of Gaza. Since then, young Palestinians, mostly living in the besieged Gaza Strip, have used the platform to chronicle the human impact of occupation and blockade. In doing so, they have passionately fought to be recognised not as numbers but as human beings with lives, hopes, and dreams.<br/><br/>Ten years on, this collection brings together the most impactful essay contributions of the last decade from emerging Palestinian writers, offering a sobering, tender, inspiring, and humanising view of Palestine through the eyes of its next generation of leaders. In an epilogue covering the most recent war in Gaza, the collection's editors Ahmed Alnaouq and Pam Bailey reflect on the personal tragedies they have faced - including the deaths of 21 of Ahmed's family members in a single bomb blast - as well as those writers able to take WANN's work forward and those no longer alive to do so.<br/><br/>In a rallying cry to onlookers around the world, <i>We Are Not Numbers</i> offers unparalleled insight into the real lives of the people of Gaza and imagines where we might go from here.

<b>An extraordinary work from the author of <i>The Year of Magical Thinking</i> and <i>Blue Nights</i></b> <br/><br/>In November 1999, Joan Didion began seeing a psychiatrist because, as she wrote to a friend, her family had had ?a rough few years? She described the sessions in a journal she created for her husband, John Gregory Dunne. <br/><br/>For several months, Didion recorded conversations with the psychiatrist in meticulous detail. The initial sessions focused on alcoholism, adoption, depression, anxiety, guilt, and the heartbreaking complexities of her relationship with her daughter, Quintana. The subjects evolved to include her work, which she was finding difficult to maintain for sustained periods. <br/><br/>There were discussions about her own childhood misunderstandings and lack of communication with her mother and father, her early tendency to anticipate catastrophe and the question of legacy, or, as she put it? what it's been worth? The analysis would continue for more than a decade.<br/><br/>Didion's journal was crafted with the singular intelligence, precision, and elegance that characterize all of her writing. It is an unprecedently intimate account that reveals sides of her that were unknown, but the voice is unmistakably hers questioning, courageous, and clear in the face of a wrenchingly painful journey.
