Sinossi

Haunted Dance Halls explores the eerie side of performance spaces, delving into the ghost stories and paranormal activity reported in theaters, ballrooms, and studios. It examines why these locations, steeped in history and emotion, become magnets for hauntings. These spaces, once vibrant community hubs, now echo with tales of unexplained phenomena; interestingly, the book posits that these perceived hauntings reflect our complex relationship with memory and storytelling, rather than merely anecdotal occurrences. The book investigates the cultural, psychological, and historical dimensions of these hauntings.

 
It looks at the psychological impact of dramatic arts and storytelling on perceptions of reality and analyzes how shared ghost stories shape community identity. Organized into three sections, the book first examines the historical context of performance spaces, then explores the psychological aspects of hauntings, and finally analyzes specific case studies from around the world.

 
By drawing on historical archives, folklore studies, and interviews, Haunted Dance Halls avoids sensationalism, offering a balanced perspective on the enduring power of ghost stories. This approach allows readers to think critically about the stories we tell ourselves and the spaces we inhabit, appealing to history buffs, theater enthusiasts, and anyone fascinated by the intersection of culture, psychology, and the paranormal.

Black Heart Fades Blue - Volume One

Jerry A. Lang

If you're looking for the events that inspired the lyrics to all my songs? Those stories are in this book. If you're looking for what I did when I was younger? That's in here. What changed me, made me stop hating and hurting? It's all here. This is my story and I'm sticking to it. That's the one thing I have, the truth. 
 
 
 
Volume one of Black Heart Fades Blue, a three-part memoir by the founder and frontman for one of punk rock's most notorious acts, Poison Idea 
 
 
 
In 1980, Jerry A. formed Poison Idea, a Portland-based punk band that gave voice to disaffected and disenfranchised youth for over thirty years. As happened to so many punk bands, Jerry A. and Poison Idea also went all in on drugs and drinking as they toured the country, spiraling out of control and blowing both the band and their lives apart. 
 
 
 
Black Heart Fades Blue is not an apology or a nostalgic catalog of events, but a true reckoning with one's past and present. A memoir of a time and a place and a movement, as well as a deep conversation about the memories and moments we leave behind, Black Heart Fades Blue is a deep exploration of an unconventional life.

Surf Style at Home

Raili Clasen

“Crank up the color,” “Landscape your living room,” and “Adult summer camp vibes” are just a handful of the mantras that drive California interior designer Raili Clasen’s eclectic surf style. Raili grew up taking two long bus rides to the beach in Orange County, CA, so that she could drink up the cool surfer fashion, laid-back atmosphere, and retro surfboard decor and bring it all right home to her bedroom. Drawing from those early days of design experimentation and a career that took her from Raisins Swimwear to Quiksilver, Roxy, and Paul Frank—Raili is known for bottling up the spirit of surf culture and spraying it joyfully all over the homes she designs. Surf Style at Home takes readers into Raili’s colorful, surf-inspired, checkerboard-printed mind through homes she’s designed — from quirky old beach cottages and an Alabama lake house to sprawling new-construction homes in Newport Beach, Montana’s Yellowstone Club, and beyond.

Make Hollywood Great Again -...

Michael Jolls

Hollywood and MAGA don’t get along. There are plenty of right wingers who won’t even touch this book because "Hollywood" is on the cover. Meanwhile, there are plenty of snowflake leftists who are fighting back tears because they assume this book is propaganda from “orange Thanos” to take over Tinseltown. And then there’s you, the American. Conservative or liberal, you realize that Hollywood and MAGA are at war with each other and that it’s a battle worth examining. Make Hollywood Great Again navigates through 2017 – 2020’s theatrical releases examining journalism, conspiracy and the media, as well as a bevy of other topics. Filmmakers have addressed their undesired tenet in the White House through a variety of stories, mostly non-fiction. The book privileges The Post, Blackkklansman, The Front Runner, Dark Waters, Richard Jewell, and The Hunt among others.
