I was intrigued by Bathory as an historical and political figure, and I was even more interested the cultural construction of the legend of Báthory, and contemporary fascinations with this legend. What’s the fascination with her? A: I learned about Báthory when I came across Raymond McNally’s non-fiction book, Dracula Was A Woman. Q: Tell me a little about Elizabeth Bathory, the historical “Blood Countess” whose presence lingers in this novel. Author Craig Davidson caught up with Luhning recently to talk about her debut novel, Quiver, which is earning comparisons to The Silence of the Lambs for its cat-and-mouse duel between a young forensic psychologist and a convicted killer. She has received a Saskatchewan Lieutenant Governor’s Arts Award, and her collection of poetry, Sway, was nominated for a Saskatchewan Book Award. Raised in rural Saskatchewan and now living in Toronto, Holly Luhning holds a PhD in eighteenth-century literature, madness and theories of the body.

Rich in empirical details and containing relevant illustrations and maps, the book delves into the historiographical thrusts and shifts in the study of early India and is marked by attempts to demonstrate elements of change in early Indian history beyond dynastic shifts.

AD 1300 offers a broad overview and connected narrative of early Indian history, taking into consideration major historical developments from the earliest times to c. This third edition of Exploring Early India up to c. Interestingly, I said that story should have been a short story because Hill ran out of steam with what I thought was a killer premise. I have read one other Joe Hill book, the first book I read last year, The Heart-Shaped Box. And that’s smart marketing because that’s why I picked up the book at my local grocery store! I wanted to read, “The Black Phone,” ahead of the film’s release. Obviously, the publisher re-released and re-named the collection to coincide with the film adaptation of one of the stories, “The Black Phone,” coming out in June via Blumhouse and starring Ethan Hawke. There’s something lovely and delightful about diving into, and getting lost within, a 30-ish-page story and then coming back up for air, and diving right back in rinse and repeat across Hill’s 15 stories (plus the secret one tucked into the Acknowledgements at the end!). That is, why is Hill’s collection of short stories only the second time I’ve read a short story collection? My first one was a couple years ago when I was binging the Jack Reacher series to catch back up, so I included the short story collection, No Middle Name. My first takeaway after reading Joe Hill’s short story collection from 2007 (originally titled 20th Century Ghosts), The Black Phone Stories, and I kept thinking it as I was reading, was, Why haven’t I always been doing this?!

Indeed this way of speaking seems appropriate to Japanese conversation, to the talk of a society in which manners are always important, and in which they might sometimes take precedence over candour.
