        Fantasies of music in nostalgic medievalism

        by Helen Dell

        In the period between the Second World War and the present, there has been an extraordinary rise in the production of medievalist fantasy literature and film. This has been accompanied by the revival, performance and invention of medieval music. In this enterprise modern fantasies of the Middle Ages have exercised great influence. Fantasies of music in nostalgic medievalism shows how music, medievalism and nostalgia have been woven together in the fantasies of writers and readers, musicians, musicologists, directors and listeners, film-makers and film-goers. This book studies the ways in which three fields of creative activity inspired by the medieval - musical performance, literature, cinema and their reception - have worked together to produce and sustain, for some, the fantasy of a long-lost, long-mourned paradisal home.

        Mit mir die Nacht

        by Michaela Kastel

        Mit mir die Nacht Michaela Kastel In einer Gegenwart, in der Gewalt gegen Frauen in unterschiedlichster Form die Gesellschaft erschüttert und Fluchtwege bzw. Lösungen so schwierig wie langwierig erscheinen, dringt Michaela Kastel mit ihrer Prosa tief in die subjektive Welt ihrer geschundenen Hauptfigur ein und geht gnadenlos mit dem System der Schlächter ins Gericht, mit Zwangsprostitution und Femiziden – und das logisch und konsequent nicht in einer auktorialen Erzählhaltung, sondern in Ich-Form, ungeschönt und ungeschminkt. Madonnas Welt oszilliert zwischen unerträglicher Enge und unbeherrschbarer Ausdehnung, hat nur mehr bruchstückhaft mit der Realität zu tun, denn nach all dem von ihr Erlittenen ist ihre Wahrnehmung zerschlagen und trügerisch. An diesem Punkt schafft es die Autorin, ihre LeserInnen komplett in dieses Erleben zu ziehen, körperlich spürbar, unausweichliche Empathie. Es ist also nicht nur Kastels Schreiben, das berührt und verstört, sondern auch die Geschichte selbst sowie Madonnas Emotionen. Diese ganz eigene Fiktion erreicht die Autorin u. a. mit den Elementen eines comichaften Film-Noir-Stils und ihrem epischen Sprachsound. Inhaltlich arbeitet Kastel im Kosmos von gnadenloser Gewalt und hilflosen Verzweiflung ganz bewusst mit Madonnas unbändiger Sehnsucht nach Heimat, Licht und Erlösung. Als Schriftstellerin, die mit dem Background der ehemaligen Buchhändlerin die Branche kennt wie nur wenige andere, weiß sie an genau diesen neuralgischen, literarischen Verfahrensweisen ihre künstlerische Eigenständigkeit zu entzünden und zu entwickeln.

        The Last Life of Emma Taylor

        by Melanie S. Wolfe

        Emma hates the Bible belt culture. The hypocrisy, the lack of love, and worship of the church irritates the crap out of her. She has this unquenchable thirst to know the truth and researches every religion. Then, she goes to college and her world is turned upside down as she falls in love with an angel and is caught between good and evil and the God she's longed to meet.   From the author:   I wrote The Last Life of Emma Taylor in 2008 and self-published the eBook in 2009. It started out as a love story between a college girl and an angel, (inspired by Twilight). But as I wrote the story it took on a life of its own and became a reflection of my own life. At the time I was questioning everything I was told to believe about God, and I was quite sick of everyone telling me what to believe. So I went on a journey to research every book, belief, or religion I was told by my Evangelical leaders was bad, and I ended up finding my own truth.  If there is interest, I would love to turn this book into a series.

        A Poem of Fire: Her Sword, Book 1

        by Huai Guan

        A young antiques restorer falls in love with her colleague only to find out he is an ancient sword in human form. A myth-imbued fantasy in the vein of A DISCOVERY OF WITCHES.   Antiques restoration is a lonely job where one becomes accustomed to loneliness. Renee knows it all. After graduating from college, she moves to a big city and starts her first job as a restorer. She didn’t expect much of anything to ever change, but things prove the opposite when she meets her beautiful colleague Hsiao Liam. At the age of 27, Hsiao Liam appears far more sophisticated than his looks may suggest. He seems to care deeply for Renee while keeping her at a distance. In an elevator accident, Hsiao Liam saves Renee by flying a sword and exposes his secret: he is an ancient sword that has taken on the human form. To Hsiao Liam, Renee is the one he has been waiting for thousands of years. As they get closer however, a spell begins to cause conflicts between his human and sword sides. He loves her, but the sword’s consciousness is trying to puncture her heart.   Comparable to A DISCOVERY OF WITCHES and inspired by the culture of the Bronze Age, HER SWORD creates unique characters and in essence explores the conflicts between what we need and what we want. Huai Guan’s flawless prose style draws us smoothly but irrevocably into a world in which our reverence for the deep past finds a new, though tumultuous rebirth.   Sponsored by Taiwan Creative Content Agency, HER SWORD is currently under development into a TV series.
