A killer monkey. Suburban witchcraft. Motorcycle jousting. A cockroach invasion. Despite this enticing list of other subjects, George A. Romero is best known for the genre-defining 1968 film Night of the Living Dead and subsequent zombie films. The non-zombie films in his decades-long career have gotten varied degrees of critical examination but they remain underexamined compared to the Dead flicks. This book focuses on Romero's "other" work, highlighting lesser-known films such as There's Always Vanilla (1971) and Bruiser (2000), as well as more popular films such as Martin (1977) and The Crazies (1973). It examines how his body of work participates in social critique by delving into issues such as capitalism's pitfalls and excesses, domestic and racial power imbalances, and our patriarchal culture's expectations of masculinity, femininity, and sexuality.

When the "Higher Power" grows bored and restless games are made. Souls are torn apart for fun, more souls are used in wicked collector games, and souls are twisted in cruel destinies. This anthology is a collective piece of work to show different and beautifully crafted ideas of the plight one's soul must endure. Simple love and life are tainted and broken in these stories of love, betrayal, longing, and fate.

When her friend introduced her to Gabriel Durand, a man who liked to dominate women, she gave him a wide berth, not interested in any man she couldnÕt control. She couldnÕt miss her only friendÕs wedding, even if it meant sheÕd have to spend a week on Rapture Island, an island that catered to men like him.The reality of being there, and under GabrielÕs protection, proved more unsettling than sheÕd bargained for. Kelsey was intrigued by GabrielÕs proposition, though. The idea of submitting to him in return for a week of pleasure was a lure she couldnÕt resist. She didnÕt want to hear his claim to want more. She didnÕt believe it. SheÕd take the pleasure and walk away. Sex with Gabriel, though, was nothing like sheÕd imagined, creating a bond she couldnÕt fight. He made her feel again. He taught her to love. Sin's Magic- Veronica Sands needs help from world-renowned magician Sinclair Majors, but with him, she finds more than she could have imagined.

But Veronica proves more threatening to his control than he anticipates. He falls in love with her almost at once, her eagerness, sweet nature, and willingness to experiment delighting him. But he needs her to trust him with more than her body. When he discovers that she hid the truth about a man who had been stalking her, he's almost too late to rescue her, and he knows that things have to change. She's his, and it's about time she learns what that means. Leah Brooke is a Siren-exclusive author.
