        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.

        Le Cronache di Oaksage Town

        by Alessandro Stringhini

        Five teenagers with complicated lives, chained in their own problems in their insurmountable eyes, find themselves in the library of Oaksage Town, the town where they grew up.  It will be the very essence of the library to lead them on an intricate adventure greater than them, between fantastic creatures and characters from fairy tales and legends belonging to folklore and popular tradition. --- Cinque adolescenti dalle vite complicate, incatenati nei propri problemi ai loro occhi insormontabili, si ritrovano nella biblioteca di Oaksage Town, la cittadina in cui sono cresciuti. Mentre una neve incessante incatena la città nella morsa del gelo, il loro destino è legato alla sparizione di un professore della scuola che frequentano. Sarà l'essenza stessa della biblioteca a condurli in un'intricata avventura più grande di loro, tra creature fantastiche e personaggi delle fiabe e delle leggende appartenenti al folklore e alla tradizione popolare. Alessandro Stringhini ha dato forma a un amalgama di vicende che tengono il ritmo sempre alto, tra magia e combattimenti, alla ricerca di un passato che gli stessi protagonisti ignorano, ma che saprà dimostrarsi una chiave importante per aprire le porte che li condurranno, nel bene e nel male, verso la sorte che li attende.

        by Ariel Pytrell

        In the fourteen short stories collected in this new book by Ariel Pytrell, an ominous and sometimes ironic atmosphere permeates throughout. This would be nearly the only thing in common among these fantastic stories which, anyway, resist being classified under labels. The ineffable thing may be the main character in this ceremony called "book of fictions" or, perhaps better, "of visions." The writer and his work.

        The city beyond the river

        by Gregory Papadoyiannis

        Gregory Papadoyiannis, shows us that, fortunately, human imagination works, by surpassing an anyway questionable reality while, on the other hand, -and this may be the most important element of his work- he uses reflective thinking to reveal the greatness of human thought and the power of its creativity. Imagination: human charisma, solely responsible for the genesis of myths, a talent or a gift of nature, which preserves, to our day, the primordial reasons of their creation. From this point of view, it seems natural for a traditional fairy-tale dragon to still be living in a cave on a rugged mountainside, or for the members of a music band who have been out of the limelight to come back as ghosts on the now haunted stage where they once experienced moments of glory. Short stories from this book have been awarded or shortlisted in short story contests, such as Stella’s Literary Bistro, Tom Howard and the International Annual Fish Short Story Contests, while they have also been published in anthologies and journals, such as Future Eyes by PaleHouse Magazine, Jakes Monthly anthology of Magic Realism and Foxing Quarterly magazine.
