My Paradise Mountain Resort used to be a place of peace and quiet, but now it is full of blood, anger, and distraught. My friends and neighbors have turned on me, and now they are trying to turn me into one of them. The blood shall continue to spill and pour and leave a splashy trail, until the demon known to myself and others as the man in black rules his devils playground and raises his own army of demons from the burning depths of hell. I must now find my way out of darkness and into the light and fight my way through the enchanted forest and rendezvous with the others before it is too late and my blood, too, is spilled upon the cobbles. I must now team up with the newest recruits that have been embroiled in this nightmare, which has now become my massacre, and stop this madness once and for all. Can Detective Nick Brown and his partner, Detective Carla Quinn, help us end this carnage before the war between evil and evil begins? Or will they also perish and burn and become a victim of pure evil? In this exhilarating and terrifying sequel, we try to find the answers to the questions that everyone is dying to know. Who is the stranger lurking in the forest and following my every move? And what is inside of the secret chest, which is hidden beyond the prison walls? Who will make it out alive?

Fifteen teens are trapped in a zoo where the animals have mysteriously gotten loose Smarter and stronger than they should be, they're working together to kill humans. It's going to be carnage

Elizabeth DeLoughrey invokes the cyclical model of the continual movement and rhythm of the ocean (‘tidalectics’) to destabilize the national, ethnic, and even regional frameworks that have been the mainstays of literary study. The result is a privileging of alter/native epistemologies whereby island cultures are positioned where they should have been all along—at the forefront of the world historical process of transoceanic migration and landfall. The research, determination, and intellectual dexterity that infuse this nuanced and meticulous reading of Pacific and Caribbean literature invigorate and deepen our interest in and appreciation of island literature. —Vilsoni Hereniko, University of Hawai‘i "Elizabeth DeLoughrey brings contemporary hybridity, diaspora, and globalization theory to bear on ideas of indigeneity to show the complexities of ‘native’ identities and rights and their grounded opposition as ‘indigenous regionalism’ to free-floating globalized cosmopolitanism. Her models are instructive for all postcolonial readers in an age of transnational migrations." —Paul Sharrad, University of Wollongong, Australia Routes and Roots is the first comparative study of Caribbean and Pacific Island literatures and the first work to bring indigenous and diaspora literary studies together in a sustained dialogue. Taking the "tidalectic" between land and sea as a dynamic starting point, Elizabeth DeLoughrey foregrounds geography and history in her exploration of how island writers inscribe the complex relation between routes and roots. The first section looks at the sea as history in literatures of the Atlantic middle passage and Pacific Island voyaging, theorizing the transoceanic imaginary. The second section turns to the land to examine indigenous epistemologies in nation-building literatures. Both sections are particularly attentive to the ways in which the metaphors of routes and roots are gendered, exploring how masculine travelers are naturalized through their voyages across feminized lands and seas. This methodology of charting transoceanic migration and landfall helps elucidate how theories and people travel, positioning island cultures in the world historical process. In fact, DeLoughrey demonstrates how these tropical island cultures helped constitute the very metropoles that deemed them peripheral to modernity. Fresh in its ideas, original in its approach, Routes and Roots engages broadly with history, anthropology, and feminist, postcolonial, Caribbean, and Pacific literary and cultural studies. It productively traverses diaspora and indigenous studies in a way that will facilitate broader discussion between these often segregated disciplines.
