![]() Baldwin makes clear who benefits from unchecked university power-and who is made vulnerable. Through eye-opening conversations with city leaders, low-wage workers tending to students’ needs, and local activists fighting encroachment, scholar Davarian L. In the Shadow of the Ivory Tower takes readers from Hartford to Chicago and from Phoenix to Manhattan, revealing the increasingly parasitic relationship between universities and our cities. They become the primary employers, dictating labor practices and suppressing wages. They maintain private police forces that target the Black and Latinx neighborhoods nearby. But they also gentrify neighborhoods and exacerbate housing inequality in an effort to enrich their campuses and attract students. They bring diverse ideas and people together and they generate new innovations. Urban universities play an outsized role in America’s cities. ![]() ![]() But there is a cost to those who live in their shadow. Across America, universities have become big businesses-and our cities their company towns. ![]() ![]() He is also the creator of OTIS: Odd Things I’ve Seen ( ), where he chronicles his visits to thousands of oddities of culture, art, nature, and history across the country and world with photos, articles, and through Odd Things I’ve Seen: The Podcast.

I know I've said this before but I'm incredibly happy Saxon seems to have been entrusted with Lumley's audiobook legacy as this is probably the finest single example of a Hand-In-Glove match between an authorial and narrating style since Stephen King started reading his own work. ![]() An honourable mention must as always go to the narrator Joshua Saxon who reads Lumley's work with supreme gusto and gravitas. But as someone who's been eagerly consuming the Lumley Audiobooks as they come out this was all highly enjoyable stuff. It goes without saying that this is in no way any kind of jumping on point and you have to be pretty versed in the events up to this point to get the most out of it, even with Lumley being one of the writers most concerned with recapping events for his audience, typically devoting the first section of any project to getting you up to speed rather than diving right in. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() So I decided to push off writing the review until I couldn’t avoid it anymore. But I enjoyed it so much I feel bad for not liking parts of it – if that makes sense. I really, really enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would, but there are some aspects of it that just bugged me. I put off reviewing this book for a while because, honestly, I’m kind of stumped by it. ![]() Perhaps nothing, even right and wrong, can survive in the haunted wood. Why was Heden chosen for this mission? Who killed the knight and why? Why won’t anyone talk to him? As the Green Order awaits Heden’s final judgement, he finds his morality, perspective, and sense of self are each challenged and then destroyed. After years spent in the inn he bought and never opened, Heden is drawn out, and sent into a dark forest to investigate the death of a knight. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Red fledglings appear to complete the change once they have made a choice to side with either good or evil, and their expanded tattoos are the same red. Fledglings that die and then are later resurrected have their crescent tattoos turn red in place of the usual blue. Fledglings are "marked" by a Tracker vampyre with a blue crescent-shaped tattoo on their foreheads when they become full-fledged adult vampyres, this mark becomes solid blue, and is eventually elaborated upon with the addition of further blue ' tattoos', which extend over their forehead and cheeks, typically taking designs related to some aspect of their personality. In the fictional world of House of Night, a small percentage of the world's teenagers are changed into vampyres when adolescent hormones trigger a strand of what is otherwise junk DNA. This convention is also applied to the words "vampyric" and "vampyrism". ![]() Instead of "vampire", the authors use the variant spelling "vampyre" throughout the series. ![]() Joseph Monastery, Tulsa, the basis for the Benedictine Abbey in the series The setting The Vampyre World ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() So Lila and Nolan proceed down the rabbit hole to figure out what the heck is going on. The case is weird because all evidence points to an accidental death, and yet for some reason, the woman plead guilty. ![]() So he teams up with Lila, an attorney looking to help clear a young mother of the murder of her child. After screwing up an investigation, he’s determined to prove himself. Nolan is an investigator at Nash Security who bemoans his lack of luck. For a full synopsis, see this book’s Goodreads page. I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.Īn investigator and attorney team up to clear a woman of murder and end up in a complicated sexual relationship. I’m a little conflicted about this book, and because I want to write about my conflictions, this review is going to contain spoilers and possible triggers for rape. Proceed with caution. ![]() ![]() Her textbook Writing Fiction, now in its ninth edition, is the most widely used creative writing text in the United States. ![]() Her plays Medea with Child (The Reva Shiner Award), Sweepstakes, Division of Property (Arts & Letters Award), and Parts of Speech have received readings and productions in New York, London, San Francisco, Hollywood, Chicago, and various regional theaters.
