Poetry. Literary Nonfiction. Biography. The basic drama with Errol Flynn was that he had everything--looks, charm, talent, intelligence, and a huge following of devoted fans and willing women. He was the classic image of a swashbuckling hero and romantic lover. That which other men merely fantasized about, Flynn did with style and dash, living in a way which surpassed any film he ever made. But somewhere on the road to movie immortality he embarked on a destructive lifestyle that wrecked his career and ultimately killed him. Why did it happen? What were the forces at work in this complex individual whose own father regarded him as an enigma? Kevin McAleer is not the first author to wend his way through the maze of myth and falsehood that comprises Flynn's legend, but no one has yet attempted an epic narrative of his life in verse. Flynn's ghostwriter for his memoir My Wicked, Wicked Ways called him one of the most poetic men I have ever met, and McAleer holds the view that bio...

Schnelles Geld, mafiöse Strukturen, Korruption in der Polizei und Rassismus - Alan Carter zeichnet in seinem Kriminalroman "Prime Cut" das erschreckende Bild einer Boomtown im australischen Outback, unter deren Oberfläche es gefährlich brodelt. "Man hatte ihn abserviert, weil er faul, schludrig, inkompetent, arrogant und korrupt gewesen war." Cato Kwong, früher ein aufgehender Stern am australischen Polizeihimmel, ist auf dem Abstellgleis der Kriminalpolizei gelandet: beim Viehdezernat. Als in Hopetoun, einer boomenden Kleinstadt in West-Australien, eine Leiche ohne Kopf angespült wird, bekommt er seine zweite Chance. Sonnenschein und Meer - nicht die schlechtesten Bedingungen für die Aufklärung eines Mordfalls. Der Kaffee und die Leute sind allerdings ziemlich mies. Schnell wird Cato klar, dass der Aufschwung in Hopetoun seinen Preis hat: Mit ihm gehen Korruption, Ausbeutung und Rassismus einher. "Eine frische, rauhe Stimme im australischen Crime Beat" - ...

An authoritative new history of the vampire, two hundred years after it first appeared on the literary scene Published to mark the bicentenary of John Polidori's publication of The Vampyre, Nick Groom's detailed new account illuminates the complex history of the iconic creature. The vampire first came to public prominence in the early eighteenth century, when Enlightenment science collided with Eastern European folklore and apparently verified outbreaks of vampirism, capturing the attention of medical researchers, political commentators, social theorists, theologians, and philosophers. Groom accordingly traces the vampire from its role as a monster embodying humankind's fears, to that of an unlikely hero for the marginalized and excluded in the twenty-first century. Drawing on literary and artistic representations, as well as medical, forensic, empirical, and sociopolitical perspectives, this rich and eerie history presents the vampire as a strikingly complex being that h...
