The black market job would see them travel endless dunes on a road made from a massive dead beast’s ribs and out to a mythical city in the sea, scuffling with monsters and thugs in search of a long-lost book that might be the most dangerous object in the world. With its hefty payday, Kali and Puk could afford to finally escape the desert heat and set sail across the gulf. With a new potion on the market undercutting her profits, though, her seabound dreams are put on hold indefinitely. Kali is a merchant who yearns to leave the harsh deserts of Herrilock and travel across the sea, trading goods and soaking in the sights and cultures. Until one day, their paths cross with an illicit job opportunity. Spit and Song (Ustlian Tales) by Travis M.

He’s spent seven years putting himself back together under its rule, joining an Umber military academy and becoming the best pilot in his class. “An exciting space opera full of action and adventure that explores the bonds of loyalty and love, and what happens when they are stretched to their limits.”-Rebecca Roanhorse, Nebula and Hugo award–winning author of Trail of LightningĮttian’s life was shattered when the merciless Umber Empire invaded his world. A young pilot risks everything to save his best friend-the man he trusts most and might even love-only to learn that his friend is secretly the heir to a brutal galactic empire. What makes Ito unique in the horror world is that he isn’t a novelist or a short story writer in the traditional sense he’s a mangaka. Combining a deft artist’s eye with a boundless and terrifying imagination, Junji Ito stands head and shoulders above every other horror writer around.īorn in 1963 in Gifu prefecture, Junji Ito is Japan’s most successful and lauded horror writer. Junji Ito is a mangaka who understands phobias, existential anxieties, and the terror of the unknown better than any other horror writer on Earth. Turn your eyes to Japan, however, and you’ll discover a writer and artist capable of injecting a far more potent amount of fear into his readers’ veins. The term master of horror is often attributed to American author Stephen King without any argument. This racist statement by Florence Nightingale is one of many. Anything else, she believed, “would be simply preserving their barbarism for the sake of preserving their lives.” 1 Although some of her contemporaries recognized the brutality of the colonial system, Nightingale believed imposing British culture to be necessary. She believed Indigenous lives were a small price to pay for the expansion of the British Empire. She counseled many key political figures and her writings on the subject show that she was a staunch supporter of British colonialism, even with the knowledge of the death and destruction left in its wake. What is rarely discussed in nursing history is Nightingale’s racism and her political role in the genocide of Indigenous people under British rule. This history allows us to better discuss the consequences of her legacy in nursing. Here, I make explicit Nightingale’s role in British colonial violence by analyzing some of her writings on the British colonies. There are nurse historians doing incredible and diverse work, but in general, nursing, both as a profession and as an academic discipline, promotes a view of Nightingale based in a culture of white supremacy rather than historical facts. This, unfortunately, doesn’t mean nurses understand who Nightingale was. Even worse, nursing history revolves largely around a single white nurse: Florence Nightingale. Nursing historiography is centered on whiteness. Xingyin is sometimes frustratingly successful and spends much more time with her male love interests than her female friends, but the plot delivers what it promises in a quite satisfying, though predictable manner. Packed with magic, dragons, and plenty of scheming, this novel features many expected tropes, freshened up by the well-developed setting and strong basis in Chinese mythology. As Xingyin pursues her goals, others plot against the Celestial Kingdom, and the emperor and empress are not without their own machinations. Xingyin and Liwei grow close, but as Liwei is the son of those responsible for Chang’e’s imprisonment, Xingyin must continually hide a part of herself. Alone in the Celestial Kingdom, Xingyin has the remarkable good fortune of becoming Prince Liwei’s companion, attending his lessons and learning not only herbology and magic, but also the fighting arts. When Celestial soldiers almost discover her, Xingyin runs away, promising not to reveal her parentage and determined to reverse her mother’s punishment. Xingyin’s very existence is a secret-as part of her punishment, Chang’e is to have no unsanctioned visitors. Xingyin is the daughter of Chang’e, the Moon Goddess, imprisoned on the moon for offending the Celestial Emperor. Set against a background of Chinese mythology, a young woman resolves to save her mother from magical imprisonment.
