The Brontës and the Fairy Tale is the first comprehensive study devoted to the role of fairy tales and folklore in the work of Charlotte, Emily, Anne, and Branwell Brontë. It intervenes in debates on genre, literary realism, the history of the fairy tale, and the position of women in the Victorian period. Building on recent scholarship emphasizing the dynamic relationship between the fairy tale and other genres in the nineteenth century, the book resituates the Brontës’ engagement with fairy tales in the context of twenty-first-century assumptions that the stories primarily evoke childhood and happy endings. Jessica Campbell argues instead that fairy tales and folklore function across the Brontës’ works as plot and character models, commentaries on gender, and signifiers of national identity.Scholars have long characterized the fairy tale as a form with tremendous power to influence cultures and individuals. The late twentieth century saw important critical work revealing the sinister aspects of that power, particularly its negative effects on female readers. But such an approach can inadvertently reduce the history of the fairy tale to a linear development from the “traditional” tale (pure, straight, patriarchal, and didactic) to the “postmodern” tale (playful, sophisticated, feminist, and radical). Campbell joins other contemporary scholars in arguing that the fairy tale has always been a remarkably elastic form, allowing writers and storytellers of all types to reshape it according to their purposes.The Brontës are most famous today for Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights, haunting novels that clearly repurpose fairy tales and folklore. Campbell’s book, however, reveals similar repurposing throughout the entire Brontë oeuvre. The Brontës and the Fairy Tale is recursive: in demonstrating the ubiquity and multiplicity of uses of fairy tales in the works of the Brontës, Campbell enhances not only our understanding of the Brontës’ works but also the status of fairy tales in the Victorian period.

Holly Gibney, one of Stephen King’s most compelling and ingeniously resourceful characters, returns in this thrilling novel to solve the gruesome truth behind multiple disappearances in a Midwestern town. Stephen King’s Holly marks the triumphant return of beloved King character Holly Gibney. Readers have witnessed Holly’s gradual transformation from a shy (but also brave and ethical) recluse in Mr Mercedes to Bill Hodges’s partner in Finders Keepers to a full-fledged, smart, and occasionally tough private detective in The Outsider. In King’s new novel, Holly is on her own, and up against a pair of unimaginably depraved and brilliantly disguised adversaries. When Penny Dahl calls the Finders Keepers detective agency hoping for help locating her missing daughter, Holly is reluctant to accept the case. Her partner, Pete, has Covid. Her (very complicated) mother has just died. And Holly is meant to be on leave. But something in Penny Dahl’s desperate voice makes it impossible for Holly to turn her down. Mere blocks from where Bonnie Dahl disappeared live Professors Rodney and Emily Harris. They are the picture of bourgeois respectability: married octogenarians, devoted to each other, and semi-retired lifelong academics. But they are harbouring an unholy secret in the basement of their well-kept, book-lined home, one that may be related to Bonnie’s disappearance. And it will prove nearly impossible to discover what they are up to: they are savvy, they are patient, and they are ruthless. Holly must summon all her formidable talents to outthink and outmanoeuvre the shockingly twisted professors in this chilling new masterwork from Stephen King. ‘I could never let Holly Gibney go. She was supposed to be a walk-on character in Mr Mercedes and she just kind of stole the book and stole my heart. Holly is all her.’ - Stephen King

Long before The Brothers Grimm, there was a sisterhood of writers who defied the patriarchy and launched a literary craze with their feminist fairy tales—these are their stories. In 17th century Paris, a group of women who called themselves conteuses (female storytellers) came together to weave the very first fairy tales. One of them, Marie-Catherine d’Aulnoy, coined the term ‘fairy tale,’ and some of these stories contain many familiar elements that appear in tales like Rapunzel and Beauty and the Beast. Unfortunately, these women and their tales have mostly been forgotten to history.Women of the Fairytale Resistance uncovers seven of these writer’s biographies—which are just as compelling as their fairy tales—and retells 12 of their original stories. The women were mostly young noblewomen who were forced into undesirable marriages and did not have the freedom to give their opinions, travel, or choose who they wanted to love. They used their stories as a way of subtly complaining about their husbands and critiquing the oppressive reign of King Louis XIV. The female-empowering, gender-bending tales combine themes like romance, fantasy, escapism, and their protagonists control of their own destiny—something the writers deeply desired in their own lives. Enchantingly designed with stunning full color illustrations throughout, this unique and entertaining book will have you rethink everything you know about traditional fairy tales.

Legendární vypravěč Stephen King přináší mimořádnou sbírku dvanácti krátkých příběhů, z nichž mnohé nebyly dosud nikdy publikovány a patří k jeho nejlepším povídkám vůbec.„Máte to rádi temnější? Fajn, já taky,“ píše Stephen King v doslovu ke své nové sbírce dvanácti povídek, jejichž tématem jsou temné stránky života – přeneseně i doslova. King byl odjakživa povídkovým mistrem a několikastránkovým příběhem dokáže uchvátit stejně jako svými slavnými romány. Zavede čtenáře do snů plných zlých předtuch, do podivných koutů reality, kde se může stát cokoli, nebo na Floridu, kde se tentokrát odehrává volné pokračování legendárního hororu Cujo.Dva talentovaní bastardi zkoumají dlouho skrývané tajemství původu jejich výjimečných schopností. Ve Zlém snu Dannyho Coughlina jakýsi krátký a tajemný záblesk převrátí naruby desítky životů, z nichž ten Dannyho je nejkatastrofálnější. V Chřestýšovi, pokračování románu Cujo, se truchlící vdovec vydává na Floridu, aby si odpočinul, a místo toho dostane nečekané dědictví – ale s velkými závazky. V povídce Snílci odpoví mlčenlivý veterán z Vietnamu na inzerát a zjistí, že některé kouty vesmíru je lepší neprozkoumávat. Odpovídač se zase ptá, zda je předvídavost štěstí, nebo smůla, a připomíná nám, že i život poznamenaný nesnesitelnou tragédií může mít stále smysl.

You like it darker? Fine, so do I , writes Stephen King in the afterword to this magnificent new collection of twelve stories that delve into the darker part of life - both metaphorical and literal. King has, for half a century, been a master of the form, and these stories, about fate, mortality, luck, and the folds in reality where anything can happen, are as rich and riveting as his novels, both weighty in theme and a huge pleasure to read. King writes to feel the exhilaration of leaving ordinary day-to-day life behind , and in You Like it Darker, readers will feel that exhilaration too, again and again. Two Talented Bastids explores the long-hidden secret of how the eponymous gentlemen got their skills. In Danny Coughlin s Bad Dream , a brief and unprecedented psychic flash upends dozens of lives, Danny s most catastrophically. In Rattlesnakes , a sequel to Cujo, a grieving widower travels to Florida for respite and instead receives an unexpected inheritance - with major strings attached. In The Dreamers , a taciturn Vietnam vet answers a job ad and learns that there are some corners of the universe best left unexplored. The Answer Man asks if prescience is good luck or bad and reminds us that a life marked by unbearable tragedy can still be meaningful. King s ability to surprise, amaze, and bring us both terror and solace remains unsurpassed. Each of these stories holds its own thrills, joys, and mysteries; each feels iconic. You like it darker? You got it. As classic as King s novels are, his shorter fiction has been just as gripping over the years - USA Today One of the great storytellers of our time - Guardian

Knihu o hororu jako kulturním fenoménu napsal Stephen King s vervou a velkou láskou k tématu. Do podmanivého průvodce specifickým žánrem vložil pronikavé postřehy i upřímná vyznání, odhalil své zdroje inspirace a nabídl zasvěcené komentáře ke slavným i obskurním dílům, od Draculy po Záhadu Blair Witch. Proč jsou lidé ochotni utrácet tolik peněz, jen aby se dostali do stavu, který je jim mimořádně nepříjemný? Kdo jsou lidé, kteří horor vyhledávají? Čeho se vlastně bojíme? Proč tolik takzvaných hororových filmů prostě nefunguje? Stephen King si klade řadu otázek a nebojí se na ně odpovědět. Kniha je pro všechny, kteří horor nejen rádi čtou, ale také o něm přemýšlejí. A kdo jiný by byl lepším průvodcem ve světě horou než jeho král?

Co uvidíte, když se budet na svět dívat očima draka? Bylo nebylo jedno království, dračí srdce, zlý čaroděj a princové. Jak už to v pohádkách bývá, střetnou se i tady sily dobra a zla, ale protože jde o magický svět stvořený Stephenem Kingem, můžete čekat i ledové sevření děsu a napětí, podobně jako v příběhu o Temné věži. Pohádku plnou králů, královen a kouzelníků psal autor původně pouze pro svou dceru Naomi. Tatínkovy děsivé horory ji příliš nezajímaly, nebyl by to však Stephen King, kdyby se do vyprávění nevložil naplno se vším, co umí. Výsledkem je klasicky kingovský napínavý příběh, jehož hrdinové, byť pohádkově typizovaní, cítí skutečnou radost, bolest i strach, a mistrně stupňované napětí čtenářům nedovolí knihu odložit do poslední stránky.
