![]() ![]() He is perhaps best known for his recent horror novels The Only Good Indians and My Heart Is a Chainsaw, and two years ago he made his Marvel debut, penning a story in Marvel Comics' Marvel's Voices: Indigenous Voices #1 anthology. Jones is a Blackfoot Native American who has written well over twenty-five published works and is a critically acclaimed voice within the horror genre. ![]() Or if it is? Then go back, scratch it out. “Stories give us devices like time travel as a way of dealing with poor choices and regret. “Post-apocalyptic stories are always cautionary tales,” Jones explained. While Earthdivers is a fantastical exploration of America's past (and future) history, the story is also a cautionary tale that seeks to shed light on environmental consciousness and the perils of an impending climate disaster. ![]() The series seems to borrow its name from the myth of "Earth-divers," who are figures sent on a quest by a higher being to find sustenance and build a new habitable world, which seems perfectly in line with a group of Indigenous time travelers who are hell-bent on stopping the founding of the United States. In each arc, the group of survivors targets a pivotal point in history, beginning with a mission to kill Christopher Columbus in 1492. ![]() Set in a post-apocalyptic near future, Earthdivers follows a small group of Indigenous survivors who time-travel to prevent the creation of America and, by doing so, retroactively save the world from destruction. ![]()

Both are far too young to settle down to married life with a baby and besides they have the rest of their lives ahead of them, haven't they? So, it's plan B then.Īnd right from the beginning, there's a sense that the boyfriend is the dominant one in the relationship. ![]() She's been dating a handsome fellow student for a little while - and now she's pregnant. It opens with young and rather naive student Dorothy, or Dorrie as she's generally known. It starts with the eye-catching line I could kill Ira Levin and left me eager, very eager to get on and read the book. Most intros can be rather dull and pedantic but this one is refreshingly different. And what struck me straight away was the terrific introduction by Chelsea Cain. I haven't read any of Levin's books to date although I know various titles from television and films etc. Boy-girl-unwanted pregnancy is a familiar and much-used scenario but in Levin's hands the story is terrific and so is the suspense level. ![]() Summary: First published in 1954 to great acclaim and now regarded as a modern-day classic. ![]() ![]() The play's denunciation of aristocratic privilege has been characterised as foreshadowing the French Revolution. In his preface to the play, Beaumarchais says that Louis François, Prince of Conti, had requested it. The Marriage was written as a sequel to The Barber. He succeeds and the lovers are married to end the first part of the trilogy. The Count runs into an ex-servant of his (now a barber), Figaro, and pressures him into setting up a meeting between the Count and Rosine. ![]() But this is all foiled when Rosine's guardian, Doctor Bartholo, who wants her hand in marriage, confines her to the house. He disguises himself to ensure that she will love him back for his character, not his wealth. ![]() In the first play, The Barber, the story begins with a simple love triangle in which a Spanish count has fallen in love with a girl called Rosine. This play is the second in the Figaro trilogy, preceded by The Barber of Seville and followed by The Guilty Mother. The Marriage of Figaro (French: La Folle Journée, ou Le Mariage de Figaro ("The Mad Day, or The Marriage of Figaro")) is a comedy in five acts, written in 1778 by Pierre Beaumarchais.
