Hunter shea creature6/24/2023 ![]() ![]() To The Devil, A Cryptid is one of Shea’s ‘throwaway’ novels, but the use of that term is not meant to imply negativity. These four books are all published by Flame Tree Press and are best described as ‘meatier’ reads, in that they have more depth and significantly more complex storylines than his speedier and shorter monster novels. In recent times Hunter has been on a great run of form and in particular, I would happily recommend Creature (2018), Slash (2019), Misfits (2020) and Faithless (2021). ![]() ![]() I am a huge fan and have read a fair number of these books but cannot keep up with the speed of his output and always enjoy jumping into his fiction given the opportunity. That is a whole lot of monsters, which leads to gallons of spilt blood and spectacularly high body counts. ![]() Shea is incredibly prolific and over the last decade has written in the region of forty novels and novellas, many featuring creatures of some persuasion or another. Brian Keene said that “ Hunter Shea is to monsters what George Romero was to zombies” and I am not for a second going to argue with that bold statement. ![]()

Historical, literary, ideological, institutional, and artistic expressions are considered in turn, followed by discussion of Sikhs in the Diaspora, and of caste and gender in the Panth. The Handbook is divided into eight thematic sections that explore different "expressions" of Sikhism. A number of essays within this collection also provide a more practical dimension, written by artists and practitioners of the tradition. The Oxford Handbook of Sikh Studies innovatively combines the ways in which scholars from fields as diverse as philosophy, psychology, religious studies, literary studies, history, sociology, anthropology, political science, and economics have integrated the study of Sikhism within a widerange of critical and postcolonial perspectives on the nature of religion, violence, gender, ethno-nationalism, and revisionist historiography. ![]() Artemis fowl graphic novel6/22/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() The Fowl family has led the criminal empire for generations and Artemis believes after lots of research that he has finally confirmed fairies exist.
